but I don't think I like the Wii. I just bought it, came home and turned it on. All I have is Wii Sports. I played about 5 minutes of each game, and fealt like it wasn't fun. Yeah, I'm swinging at baseballs or bowling,.,, but I feel like the system just detects that I've made a motion with the controller and it doesn't matter if I swing hard or just flick my wrist.
After about a minute or two I grew bored with the game and I don't think any of my friends would find it fun for very long either. I got the system thinking it would be great for parties. Maybe I need a game other then Wii sports? Someone convince me I didn't just blow my money and point me in the direction of a quality game that makes excellent use of the controller for parties. I also felt the online stuff features was piss poor compared to the 360 too.
I played for a total of 37 minutes and that was it. Usually a new console would have me up all night. Worst part is my wife is going to be all "why aren't you playing that thing you just spent $280 on?!" tomorrow when I'm not even playing it. I really want to like it tell me what game to get tomorrow to fix this situation =(

Wii = mine this morning. A short 3 1/2 hour wait outside Circuit City this morning put me number 21 of 24 available.
My family celebrated Thanksgiving tonight because of our hectic work schedules, everyone was there.... ages 6 to 76. I figured that I'd take my new toy over there tonight to let the kids try it out and to see for myself exactly what wii is all about.
Long story short, I unboxed it for the first time, and EVERYONE in my family was enjoying it. We all spent about 3 hours playing Wii sports, and everyone was amazed at how "revolutionary" it was.
What a great load of fun, for people of ALL ages. Looks like this will be the ultimate party system, and a must have for just about anyone. Big N sold about 6 systems tonight to the rest of my family. They are SERIOUSLY onto something here. They're going to sell millions. If you don't have one... fucking get one!

I currently know about Mario: Galaxy, MP3, and SSMB (how does the controller help here?). I have to say that my current logic is that I really respect Nintendo for doing something new and different, and I want to *want* the system, but after reading reviews, and looking forward into the crystal ball of video games sites( lol I am slightly drunk that was so lame), I am a bit confused. The above games really are not enough for me by themselves... I think I need something more substantial.
Halp! I need convincing!

My buddy Troy reels back to roll his ball as he's done about 300 times tonight suddenly feels the controller slip from his hand. (THANK GOD for the wrist strap right?)
Nope. Wrist strap snaps. The Wiimote flies across the room impaling my 60" rear projection TV square in the upper left corner.
Be warned: Sweaty hands + faulty Wiimote wrist strap = broken ass TV.

You see, I threw a party last night. A gaming party, in celebration of the console launches. But not just any party, oh no. You see, I am the president of a little university organization called the Texas Gaming Association, and it's for.. you get the idea. Anyway, I hooked us up with Red Bull and EA to bring in 4 LCDs, a ton of bean bag chairs, 360s and a Wii.
We offered up a couple games to people who'd bring their systems to share with everyone: Resistance for the PS3, and Rayman for the Wii.
Nobody brought a system. Oh, people had PS3s and Wiis, but they were unwilling to open them up and play with them. So, I ran home and got my Wii and brought it back to the party. When it was about 11 or midnight, we decided that nobody else would bring their Wii, so I made myself the recipient of Rayman and broke it open for people to play with. For the last several hours, people had been enamored with Zelda and Wii Boxing, but Rayman took the hilarity to new heights.
I started the first game, and was required to swing a giant cow around my head and then throw it like a shot put. This brought the crowd to riotous laughter. I then passed the Wiimote on to another player, and what had been a gaming party became a Wii party. Everyone crowded around and took turns on the mini-games. People laughed, people cried, and it was all because of the ridiculous gameplay that Rayman had to offer.
Thanks, Rayman, for saving my party! I can't wait to play with you in the privacy of my home.

we had a similar thread last year about the X360
When do you think "they" will hack the PS3?
I'm thinking less than 3 months, Wii 24 months and Xbox 360 will remain unhacked another 9-12 months.

how are those burger king xbox games? thinking of picking one up.
well lovely.. I'm hearing from some people on the Nintendo forums. That the first firmware upgrade on the Wii is breaking the WiFi connectivity on some Wiis. It looks like mines busted as well, unless this problem is really on Nintendo's end. But soo many people on the shack aren't having any problems. So I dunno. I've tried all day long since the initial firmware upgrade with no success. I'm gonna try it again tomorrow, hopefully it decides to work.
Basically I booted it up this morning & it connected just fine and downloaded a firmware upgrade. Then ever since that upgrade, its failed to connect again.
Getting this error when ever I try to setup the Wireless Connection:
Error Code: 110213
There is a problem with
the WiiConnect24 service.
Please try again later.
Everything else works fine, I just can't get a WiFi connection at all. :(

Got to Walmart at 4:30am. Was the 19th person there, 30 Wiis to be had. All were accounted for and tickets were handed out at about 5:15am for the 7am opening.
5:30 a kid shows up that was really disappointed that he missed out on the tickets at that store, as he had to go to work early and couldn't go anywhere else. He offered my $300 for my spot in line. I took the money and ran. weeeeee
Headed to Sam's Club and sat in line (3 other people) for about 20 minutes but decided I didn't want to hang out in the cold. So I went to Toys R Us, and was 27th in line. They had 98 in.
Got my Wii + Zelda + Rayman + Remote + Nunchuck. And $300 CASH. LOL. Such a great day. And I'm wiped.

I fired up this game years back and thought "lol what a POS" because it has dpad style controls for movement.
Anyhow I got bored 2 months ago and I looked up good PS2 games to try out, I find one called Onimusha 2 and realise I've got it.
I fire it up and lo and behold it's that shitty d-pad game again!
So I decide to give it a chance and realise it's a fairly fun slash / mild adventure game - I'd say the fighting is about 3/4 as good as god of war (which makes it awesome)
I'm now 25 hours into this slash game and it's just getting bigger / badder with a deeper storyline too (albeit SUPER cheesy)

I hit up the VC to see if they had added Opera yet. I accidently clicked help, so I just hit the home button on my wiimote. It left the VC and then ... then ... hard lock. I pressed and held the power button, the reset button, the eject button, and nothing but the solid green light. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and now it's not powering back on.
