Yeah this time you have to collect three four objects that open some sort of new dimension that represents the same dimension you were just in, but with a different filter over the top. You then fight six five bosses to break six five seals to get to the final boss. The final boss pretends to die twice three times. The end.

Actually, instead of being cartoony, it's going to be groundbreaking and you will actually be stick figure link, saving stick figure Zelda

it's revolutionary

oh, and to move, you now need a wii fit board and the new motionplus

enjoy

Well yeah, that formula works for Zelda games. You know that if they changed it the fanboys would start screaming and crying about how they feel betrayed.

^^don't forget the Wii Zapper, so you can pretend it's the crossbow.

7/28/2008 12:26:44 PM

i'll take 5 zelda games with the same formula
as long as they are different dungeons and bosses...

thanks

Just picked up a Wii at the GameStop at Cary Towne Center

7/28/2008 1:27:51 PM

They have any left?

7/28/2008 1:57:58 PM

They had a few. This was at 12:45.

7/28/2008 2:00:54 PM

Got wii fit and twilight princess in this weekend. About time to open up the wiibrew channel!

7/28/2008 2:03:02 PM

I find it funny you are just starting Twilight Princess. I guess I should be fortunate to have had my wii since they came out.

7/28/2008 4:08:07 PM

they start demonstrating a "Lightsword" around the half way mark

7/30/2008 10:00:52 PM

"lasoo"

7/30/2008 10:47:18 PM

come on, couldn't they have you throwing knives at babies or something

7/30/2008 10:54:57 PM

Has anyone else watched the videos of the new Madden? It actually looks like this year's version might just be decent...

8/9/2008 2:17:40 PM

Now you can play DVDs on the Wii. Unofficially of course. But yeah.

8/13/2008 4:00:56 PM

what channel is that?

8/13/2008 4:56:29 PM

i got madden for the wii. i was debatin whether to get it for the wii or the 360, but the online league mode sounded stupid so that wasnt a + for the 360, the graphics arent really that important to me, i already have ncaa for the 360 so i thought it might be fun to play madden with a different control scheme, and finally, the call your shots mode sounded pretty innovative. having played it now for a day, the graphics are pretty crappy, but they fixed the bugs and its pretty deep. the mini games are pretty cool as well, and call your shots really is probably the most useful feature to appear in madden on any system in a long time.

^i was wondering the same thing. i was hoping he'd let the title load before clicking continue, but alas he did not

It's the homebrew channel. Or something you can load off the homebrew channel.

It's pretty simple (in relative terms anyway) to get homebrew on the wii. And all you need is a copy of Zelda.

Chipped my Wii yesterday, it's delicious

8/14/2008 8:54:19 AM

thank god, we've been needing a party game for the wii, it's severely lacking

i need to find 2 wiis and a wii fit asap. we (my office) are going to two tradeshows...one in oct, the other in nov...and want to giveaway a wii and a wii + wii fit in a drawing. it's now my job to find these things.

i'll obviously be checking all the walmarts, targets, best buys, circuit cities, gamecrazy, gamestops, etc in the area religiously, but does anybody have any tips? especially on finding wii fit?!

the drop dead date for the first tradeshow, at which i'll need just 1 wii, is OCTOBER 10TH.

HALP!

9/9/2008 11:53:33 AM

I think you'll be able to find a wii in a month's time if you hit up all those stores you mentioned. Just get there before they open one day. I got mine from Best Buy (Southpoint) on a Sunday without any problems.

9/9/2008 12:10:07 PM

Dang, I saw 2 Wii's and a Wii Fit at Target in gboro just yesterday

no clue if they are still there

9/9/2008 12:19:55 PM

my odds (as far as finding all 3) are a little lower since i am in rocky mount instead of raleigh

but if anybody sees one, regardless of where, tell me

do any of those stores get shipments on particular days?

9/9/2008 1:59:05 PM

You could try checking one of those tracker sites.

And if your company is buying them, check Craigslist... people are selling them all the time there (new/sealed) just for hugely inflated prices.

9/9/2008 2:04:42 PM

what are the links to the tracker sites? if you dont have them on hand i'll just scan through this thread (haven't found them yet).

9/9/2008 2:10:11 PM

is it still hard to get a Wii?

9/9/2008 3:17:44 PM

Here is one of them:
http://wiitracker.com/

But there are a few out there where you enter your zip code and it tells you stores that are close to you that have them in stock.

9/9/2008 3:35:39 PM

i found that link. yeah i was hoping for links to ones where you enter your zipcode.

^^yes, they are still difficult to find, hence the wiitracker sites and asking for help trying to find one...

9/9/2008 3:59:16 PM

this turned out to be a lot easier than in the past/what i thought.

i just got plain lucky finding a wii fit on the floor in best buy. it was next to a guy playing a video game, we asked if it was his, it wasn't, so we took it.

tried a couple of other stores looking for a wii with no luck. stopped at gamecrazy on the way home and they have "plenty".

so if anybody is looking for a wii, gamecrazy in rocky mount has several.

9/10/2008 9:03:07 AM

Does anyone else have this problem?

Wii goes from red light to green light when I hit the power button, no image on screen but I can hear the fan starting up. Discs go in and out fine. Switched video cables and inputs, still no signal. Unplugged and plugged back the power, still nothing on screen. Other inputs work fine on this TV, which is brand new. It will not go into yellow light mode just straight to orange/red.

Any thoughts?

9/10/2008 10:50:29 AM

^Can you hear any audio?

9/11/2008 5:11:57 PM

i have the black pixel spots that go in and out

i thought it was just because the wii isn't very strong

but it looks like according to youtube, it's a overheating problem(?)

can anyone confirm or deny before i ship it back?

9/11/2008 5:59:14 PM

i have a problem as well... just started back up my wii after like 4 months of it hanging out doing nothing at my new place.


played the first few days (without internet) just fine,could access all channels and play games etc.

Now I got internet yesterday, hooked up my wii and updated etc downloaded the updated internet channel. and now whenenver i got to any channel other than games it just goes black. Green light stays on, wiimote turns off and just doesthe 4 blinking lights thing then goes back off.

can't access any channel other than the game i want to play.

9/11/2008 8:41:29 PM
