Nintendo Wii Thread

[Vince Lombardi]

I have yet to get my hands on one of these thanks to Nintendo purposely holding back shipments. For those of you that were able to get one, what do you think now that you've had some time to spend with it? I'm still torn between a Wii or a 360, though I might just get both because I want to play online (Xbox) and I really like some Nintendo titles.

Thoughts on the Wii (from those that have used it, not haters!)?

I've played the Wii a couple of times. It's exactly what it is...the titles are lame...but once some of the bigger games come out it'll be funner. I would consider it a fun group playing game. Rather then something you just sit down and play.

i agree. I have one and it gets dragged out due to lack of awesome games.

[I, the throw away]

I want a Wii, but my broke ass can't afford one. Making a Mii is seriously fun.

might be the best part of the game

I played it when I went to see my brother, incredibly fun in a group, not so sure about by yourself though.

Wii is sweet Boxing is fun

[NIN1984]

The Wii is fun when you are with a large group of friends playing the mini games just to see who can get the highest scores.

I like moneky ball

[Vince Lombardi]

Anybody play Madden with the crazy Wii controls? Looks interesting...

Tiger Woods looks fun with the Wii controller too.

[wiscbadgerfootball]

^^

no, I want to though

yeah it's decent. its really hard and it is impossible to marathon like 12 games in a row like on the box. you need a rest after like two games.

[Belish]

You absolutely have to buy Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. It's exactly what the Wii controller was made for. Wii Sports is alright; golf and tennis are the best games on it. Baseball and bowling are decent, but the boxing is clumsy because your arm movements don't register well sometimes.

I agree with both games.

I got a Wii on the first day it came out (I only had to get there an hour early). I really like it. I've got Madden, Wii Sports, Red Steel, Godfather, Zelda, and a few other games. I just got The Godfather and it is extremely fun, i would definitely recommend it. The controls to Madden are fluid and extremely fun. If your able to find one, definitely get it.

[soybean]

i don't have one but i can't wait for smash bros to come out for it; looks like it'd be fun. mario party on the wii will probably be very very successful.

How you liking Zelda? It looks pretty tight.

[Beans]

I have one. It's sweet, my favorite feature is the Virtual Console. Having Starfox 64 again rocks.

Can't wait for new games like Animal Crossing, Mario Galaxy.... gon' be sweet.

[jackalope]

How you liking Zelda? It looks pretty tight.i feel guilty about Zelda. From what I've played it's great, and I've heard great things about it, yet i almost never play it. Eventually I'll get back to it but i'm just playing Godfather right now.

[The Unseen]

I have it. Pretty sweet. I have the obligatory Wii Sports and Legend of Zelda. I haven't played Zelda in like a month in a half because I got stuck on a spot and planned on getting a strategy guide, but I've always put it off.

I coulda got it Wednesday, but I went to get The Children of Hurin and didn't have enough money for both. Argh.

Just break out the old N64. When I get really bored I play Goldeneye or Starfox. Always a good time.

[GiantRutgersFan]

yea dude. I just ordered one online that I got lucky enough to find.
i played it like a month ago playing wii sports and thought it was nothing special.

But then I played the Godfather and some snowboarding game the other day and it was pretty awesome. So yea it should come in a couple days

[bantx]

Wii is not fun for fat people....this guy brought it too school and boy it got crazy...i like bowling though :] and golf is extra hard.

[Boston]

That game will be amazing.

[RaiderNation]

should i get a wii or 360? cuz im about to get one of those

[Tubby]

Super Paper Mario is awesome

[steelersfan43]

I played it at my friends house, really fun. I want one.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Have one, really, really fun, I have Madden, Wii Sports, and Zelda(Beat It, Excellent Game). In the next few days I'm gonna get Trauma Center, WarioWare, and Elebits. Highly enjoy it, but waiting for more games to come out though.

[yourfavestoner]

I just got mine this past week, and I absolutely love it.

[Vince Lombardi]

depends on what kind of games you like, and if you're into online play at all.

If you tell me where you're stuck I can help you out as I have beat the game. I had a little help with an online walkthrough that I used 3 times, I believe.

The Wii is a great system for the price, but I would rather have a 360 if the prices were the same. Zelda is by far the greatest game I have ever played.

As for getting a workout playing it, I don't. I lie down on a couch for all my games which include Zelda and Madden among others. You don't have to go crazy swinging the thing around.

I've had the Wii for about 6 months now and it has lost a lot of it's luster but it is still a great system and will be a lot better when it get's more games like Resident Evil and Super Smash Bros. If you don't have a Gamecube and money isn't a huge issue, I would buy it just for Zelda. The game is simply amazing.

I'm in the temple with the monkeys...I have three monkeys, but I can't seem to go anywhere. I keep going 'round and 'round, but I can't get anywhere new. I'm wondering if there's a fourth monkey, or I'm just missing something.

[jagsfreak27]

The Wii has ****** graphics

[The Unseen]

It's not supposed to be about graphics. It's for gameplay.

I got stuck there as well. You need 4 monkeys to get across the large bridge so you need 1 more. I think you need to go back into a room where there is one monkey that you have already gotten. There should be a rock that looks breakable but you can't figure out how to break it. Well, you have to hit the plant near it so it will turn into a bomb, then pick up the bomb, run like hell, and throw it at the rock. If you already did this tell me and I'll try to find out which monkey you haven't gotten yet.

[jballa838]

guitair hero would be fun for the wii and its wirelessness and motion sensors

yeah, I saw. I'll get to that ASAP, although probably not tomorrow because I'm strapped for time.

Oh, all right. BTW, it took me 55 hrs to beat the game in case you were wondering how much time youre going to spend on it.
