Nintendo Wii

Post by King_Nothing »

I was just wondering if anyone else here had a chance to pick up a Nintendo Wii yet? I was lucky to get one release day without any hassle. I'm addicted to the Wii Sports that came with the system. I also have Call of Duty 3 and Madden 07 but have not tried them yet hahah. (Also due to the fact that Final Fantasy III and V are out on DS/GBA)
I am just flabbergasted at all these stories about injuries//damages due to "over reacting" with the Wiimote. I have never had any problems yet.

Also, if you own a Wii with Wii Sports, check this out!!

my cousin got one a few weeks ago and we are addicted to the Wii Sports too. it is pretty fun. I would say Golf and Bowling are the best on there. The other day my cousin was bowling and when he went to throw the ball he let go of the remote and it smashed up against the ceiling. it isnt working right now and we are in the process of hunting down some new ones. the damn wiimotes are out of stock everywhere it seems.

That is hilarious, but we knew it was going to happen :P

I want to get a Wii sometime, but just like the PS3. I am waiting for it for a possible (yet unlikely) price drop (PS3 only, not the Wii) and at least 4 or 5 killer games. The Xbox, I might get it with that Bell Sympatico promotion, but the Wii is fun, I played it at EB Games and it's pretty sweet.

i am 100% positive that the reason it flew into the ceiling is because we dont wear the wrist strap. that just goes to teach you why that damn thing is there in the first place.

I played one last night. The sports game is cool except for the cutesy graphics. If they ever bring out a cricket game that looks half decent, I will get one.

I waited in line for 2 hours on launch day to get one. The only downside is that there needs to be more awesome titles...I saw one website say that Mario Bowling is inevitable - which would be amazing!
