The Wii (4 Viewers)

[frona]

I'm thinking of getting this but I'm worried about the whole waving the control pad around a la someone who has never played games before thing. Is this a genuine innovation or a gimmick? It smacks of gimmick. I was talking to a staff member in Game there yesterday and he said for games like Zelda (which is the main reason I want to buy the thing) you have a little joystick attachment for the control pad. There's lots of attachments apparently. Gimmicky...

Is it wrong to buy a console just for Zelda? I've done it before (the N64) and it was so worth it.

I buyin it pretty much for Zelda. I think the new nunchuk controller will make it great. You can also buy the traditional controller for it......

Go on, you know you NEED Zelda Wii!

In Zelda or just in general? There was fishing in Ocarina of Time. Jaysus, I loved that game!!:heart: :heart: :heart:

There was also a fishing controller for the Bass Fishing game on the 64. It was dumb but fun while drinking.

power-metal slut!

Oi!

Yeah, Goldeneye was good too. I bought the N64 twice for Zelda! Why don't we have a "smug" emoticon?

Does Micky play games?

Does Micky play games?

Not really. He plays football games the odd time. He's not into any kind of game that has a storyline or requires time or patience. He has the Football Hooligan game for the PC but that's mostly for the novelty factor! I'm the nerd of the family.

holy shit!
The ad gets better everytime I watch it.

I won't be getting the Wii anytime soon though if at all. Plain ol gamecube Zelda for me this Christmas.

i think everywhere is guaranteeing you'll get one before Christmas but if you're only putting a deposit down now in big stores in town you probably won't get one on launch day. hopefully i'll be ok? number 87 in GAME on Dawson Street. saw a poster in the window of Tower today. that could be worth checking out.

Wii have a problem

what was the poster for?
im confused.

 

[ilovehoovering]

a Wii poster with December 8th on it. i presume that means they'll be getting some in stock. i doubt Tower would have had many people in putting down deposits and enquiring about it so you might get one there at launch.

gotcha

im considering getting it for my lady for christmas though im still toying with the idea so it doesnt matter if i get it launch day or not.
maybe i mistook her excited cheering at the wii ads on telly as just a gimmicky phase.
