yeah, i wouldnt consider 4 hours "minimal wait time"

7/20/2007 10:32:38 AM

I think it's unfortante for people that are actually trying to find one to purchase and enjoy, that there are still people out there that snatch up as many as they can find to throw up on ebay

it's one thing to do at launch time and hurt the people that can't wait 2 months for a product...but still?

call it what you want, call it america, call it business...i still think it's pretty low

I've got a modded Wii. Cyclowiz.

7/20/2007 12:04:10 PM

FYI I was planning all weekend to go buy one at Toys R Us on Sunday because I got a tip that they always restock on Sunday and that is your best chance for a Wii.. Of course I went out and parties Saturday night and slept until 1pm, called Toys R Us and they did have them earlier in the morning but sold out.





Next week!

7/22/2007 11:47:08 PM

Yeah, I played one last week for the first time

that will be a purchase I'll be making

7/23/2007 8:26:25 AM

re4 for the wii is HORRIBLE

7/23/2007 8:32:27 AM

Horrible? I think it is the best version of the game having played all 3

7/23/2007 8:40:44 AM

I said it on the previous page, but Splinter Cell Double Agent is a great game for the Wii. It is only $29 bucks brand new. It is a lot of fun and the coop 2 player mode is fun as well (they are different missions).

7/23/2007 2:25:09 PM

Got one from EB Games @ Crossroads ~noon today. They usually get shipments in ~10:30am-11am during the week so it's good to call and check around those times.

7/23/2007 2:28:02 PM

shining force on virtual console, hell fucking yeah.

also modded my wii finally last week (had the chip for over a month) and started playing Bleach Wii... its really fun, but kinda a button masher (or wiimote swinger I guess)

7/23/2007 2:34:36 PM

so what does everyone's current Wii library look like? what purchases are on your "WTB" list?

7/23/2007 2:42:33 PM

well i'm gettin mario strikers charged, i'd like to get metroid prime, nba live 08, maybe mario galaxies and smash bros, and also maybe madden 08. i cant imagine i'll get all of those "maybe's", so perhaps just one or two.

as for my current library, i traded in wario ware and madden 07 for the bigs during gamestops trade 2 for 1 deal a few weeks ago, so now i'm left with bigs, zelda, wii sports, and wii play.

Just want to reiterate just how great a game RE4 is, ESPECIALLY for the Wii. Quinn, why didn't you like it?

7/23/2007 7:02:40 PM

i like re4 for the wii.

i played the ps2 version and though the controls could use improvement.

7/23/2007 10:20:05 PM

anyone have that animated pic of the chic playing Wii and it looks like she is giving a handjob as her friends cheer her on?

7/24/2007 10:30:58 AM

^6

Current Wii Library: Wii Sports, Zelda, Red Steel, Excite Truck, Super Paper Mario... on the VC: Super Mario Bros., Zelda II, Ghouls & Goblins (stupid purchase, don't get it), Ristar, and Paper Mario.

WTB: Disaster, Mario Kart, Wii Fit, Mario Galaxy, and maybe Smash Bros. (only if it's online, otherwise it will be boring for me)..oh and the online Medal of Honor

7/24/2007 12:21:39 PM

Of course its gonna be online.

7/24/2007 12:38:00 PM

oh yea i forgot about wii fit. i might get that. whats this disaster that you speak of?

I just dont really like the game. Hard to summarize. The graphics are absolute dog piss. You cant shoot and move at the same time (or im inept). I played for about 15 minutes and it felt like that chick in the game called me nagging more than my damn girlfriend.

^^^ Disaster: Day of Crisis is one of Nintendo's new, more mature franchises... Think of it as playing through a typical disaster movie. It was first shown off at E3'06 (supposed to be a launch title), but it's not coming out now until the first half of 2008. Check out the profile on IGN...

(Be sure to check out the video, it's pretty sweet though short)

7/24/2007 7:18:04 PM

You are crazy about RE4 for the Wii. It's one of the few games that is objectively THE SHIT.

Fuck its the best game on the console, and the control scheme is amazing. If you can't understand how it is superior and a AAA class game and best on the Wii then you either a) dont get resident evil b) the attention span of a gnat c) just plain stupid.

Yes I realize its the gamecube version with tacked on controls but it works so much better its not even funny.

7/24/2007 8:27:47 PM

you cant run and shoot , lol

7/24/2007 9:09:51 PM

I wasn't terribly impressed by it. Super Paper Mario seemed a lot cooler.

7/24/2007 9:13:50 PM

The game is universally praised. That graphics are great although they're unchanged from the GC release(and like all Wii games, far below the PS3 and Xbox). The fact you can't run and shoot is a bad point, but by no means drags the whole experience down.

7/24/2007 9:16:19 PM

It makes you a sitting duck when you run out of ammo. It also makes breaking boxes that are about a foot apart annoying.

"I like ______ on the wii better than RE4"

"YOU ARE A DUMBASS"

7/24/2007 9:28:43 PM

Well it is his opinion and i cant fault him for voicing it as i've voiced my own.

7/24/2007 10:26:39 PM

I don't think you fully understand.

He was speaking objectively.

And that game is THE SHIT.

duh.

7/24/2007 10:31:41 PM

Is resident evil 4 really worth getting for the wii? I have beaten the gamecube version at least 4 or 5 times. Haven't played the ps2 exclusive stuff before.

My next game will either be RE4 or Trauma Center.

Which do yall recommend?

7/24/2007 10:52:03 PM

I would say get RE4, I didn't like the controls for trauma center on the wii there was too much precision stuff that I couldn't pull off fast enough with the remote. RE4 is still has solid as ever, the new controls I think are better then the originals and if you never played the PS2 stuff it is worth a play, especially since brand new it is only 30 bucks.

RE4 is an awesome game but it def is not for everyone, I personally like not being able to run and shoot it's suppose to be survival/horror not another Halo, but the story is top notch and the game has huge replay value, I have personally beaten it 3 or 4 times and watched/helped a room mate beat it.

[Edited on July 24, 2007 at 11:07 PM. Reason : e]

7/24/2007 11:03:11 PM

^ I was curious about trauma center...so that didn't translate to the wii very well?

7/25/2007 8:52:56 AM

So what are everyone's thoughts on this new third party light gun?

7/25/2007 9:11:07 AM

Third party? Don't know what you're talking about. Nintendo's light gun thingy looks awkward as hell

People need to stop trying to make Halo the gold standard for functionality that has existed 10 years ago.

----

And dealing with the lightgun, it looks like it would cramp your hands together even more, which is the exact opposite of why I like the wiimote/nunchuck configuration. I also heard that the extended trigger doesn't work well (no click feeling when you press it).

7/25/2007 9:45:00 AM

^^^^^i thought the trauma center controls were good, but they took some getting used to when switching between tools on the analog stick.

seemed a lot less difficult than the DS version too since you could swap out so many tools so quickly.

7/25/2007 9:51:22 AM

I had the opposite feeling on trauma center i thought the DS stylus controls were easier and more precise, the wii remote was too hard to get precise movements down quickly.

I also was not trying to say anything about Halo's functionality I was basically Saying RE4 is not an FPS and shouldn't control like one, that I like how you can't run and shoot because it slows the pace of the game down compared to say Halo

after casually checking every wal-mart, target, etc. that we've been in for the past 5-6 months, the super Target in Apex today had 4 units left at 6pm. They got 24 in today, and by the time I purchased mine, walked about 10 mins, and returned to check out something else in the Electronics Dept., only 1 remained.

Crazy. I didn't plan on buying one, but I was so stunned to actually see one in stock I couldn't pass it up. I think the wife is more hooked on it than I am. We got Wii Sports & Wii Play for now, good stuff.

I thought the whole Wii not being in stores would have been over by now
