Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii

[Dysparunia]

Anyone else got a Wii. By fluke found a shop with them in stock when visiting my Dad last week.

Soooo much fun. And my girlf loves it too.

I'm rubbish at baseball, but sword fighting in Red Steel is great, even like fishing in Zelda.

Shame it doesn't play MP3s properly, or recognize ext USB HDDs.

Highly recommend it though.

Anyone else burst into histerics when using the Picture viewer-looked like a tribute to a dead person!!

Falc has one

I like the Tennis and Bowling best tho

[thor]

I'm interested in getting one, purely because I think it would be cool to have something that the gf likes playing also. I already got her a DS and she loves playing the puzzle games. :)

[Ceri JC]

My mate who live round the corner has one. I will be getting one for my birthday, hopefully :)

Warioware Smooth Moves is the best thing I've played on it. I'm off to some expo of the Wii in Cardiff at some point tomorrow, hopefully.

Where did you get it from, the boys got the money burning a hole in his pocket at the moment and if he doesnt get it soon will be spending it on more warhammer figures

A shop in Weymouth in Dorset. Had to buy 3 games at the same time, but that wasn't really an issue. No discounts, but then no hike up in price either.

If you (or anyone else is interested further) I can try and find the receipt for the full address/tel no etc.

[the_runt69]

Too far for me at the moment, am still looking around but no-one seems to have them at the moment, the boy is for a change hanging on to his money in the hope they start being available soon but will soon start to think of other ways of spending it if they dont.

I got one from Amazon before Christmas. It's great fun and Mrs Wyrdness loves it (not surprising since she grew up with Nintendo consoles). Zelda is incredible, Wii Play is great, but tiring and Rayman Raving Rabbids is bonkers fun. I'll probably wait until finishing Rayman before getting Wario.

Although predominantly single player (you only unlock multiplayer after completing single player and even then, it's not as good as most of the single player stuff) you can definately play in a group, taking it in turns/trying to better each others' scores. Watching your friends hold the wii controller like an elephants trunk while they bob up and down is almost as fun as playing it. :)

If you've played any of the previous warioware games, it's exactly the same format, but obviously the games make use of the wii remote. It's interesting seeing quite how many different ways there are of holding it/using it and it makes you wonder how other more conventional games will use it. It's definitely a console ladies enjoy too. Even middle aged women who'd never played videogames before were playing bowling etc. on it over my mate's house at xmas.

I have a life and would rather be out with friends ;)

I have only ever played the wii with friends. Sometimes after a few jars- It's a very social gaming machine. :)

Couldn't agree more, the fun of laughing at each other and the "physical" but of the controller just invites you to have a laugh with mates, as mentioned above, even if only one of you is playing.

Now if only I'd bought more than 2 controllers at the time..........................

[Alpinestarhero]

Most Fun Console Ever.

Mind you, i got ace combat for my ps2 today; its funnnnn

I took my boys into HMV Oxford Street and bought one that was being returned by the person in front of me in the queue :shock: (his gf managed to get him one at the same time)
They got 85 in the day before and all quickly sold out

virgin mega stores & blue water :wink: job done

I want one! :cry:

Everything I've seen on the Wii shows that the graphics are crap. Yes the controller is a wonderful invention, but come one, the graphics could be a lot better.

Happy to be proven wrong.

They're apparently better than original Xbox or PS2 graphics, but not as good as 360 or PS3. They're not bad at all, though they could certainly be better.
However, do you play graphics or do you play games? THe Wii is more about fun than graphics.

Gfx i thought were very poor, and much worse than i expected. I was actually quite shocked to see mid 90s quality gfx in a 21st century machine.

The Wii is fun however im not sure if i could sustain my entertainment on it if i was playing on it by myself. Its definitely a social gaming machine

'zactly.

Wyrdness, in all honesty, I don't play games on the computer, or the kids PS3, I don't have the time to these days. However, for a game to keep me interested it either has to be VERY addictive, or be pretty realistic in terms of what I can see. If it's not, then I don't see the enjoyment.

There's millions of flash games out there that move simple boxes around on screen, I don't want to spend money on something just for the use of the controller.
