Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

I don't mind if I can't have a Wii at launch

There are so many great 360 games out I don't think I could afford to pay for it just now.

Same here. I do definitely want to get one, but already have a few more upcoming 360 games I want to get, and other stuff, so I think the Wii will have to wait 'till next year.

Question Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

Hmmm! Still not entirely convinced about Nintys new console, its definately a novel approach as always by the big N. The one thing that would make me want the console is the fact of the Zelda game but to spend £200+ for a chance of playing a game is a bit on the expensive-can't-justify-it side of things. I did have my name on the 'might be interested' list at GAME but havn't bothered with anything more since then.

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

Can always sell it if theres a stock shortage and you dont want it! Ive gone for one, as i dont want a PS3, well not at its current price anyway, and the Wii is different from the 360 so gives some variety! Looks like it could be fun espicially with a lot of you!

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

I wish Super Mario would be out on release day as well. Its a shame, and there has been no mention of mario kart at all yet.

in case u missed it (and what i was waiting for)

If you're into gaming as much as we are, then December 8, 2006 will no doubt be etched into your brain as the day that Nintendo launches their Wii console in the UK.
Well, we've got another date for you: Tuesday, November 21, 2006. This is the day Amazon.co.uk will start taking pre-orders for the Wii

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

I would like a ps3 but the price is stupid plus I want to see how it fairs up in reviews, I hated the ps2 because when gaming away all you could hear on GTA San Andreas ( my fav game ever for ps2 ) was the damn dvd drive going "clunk clunk wireee clunk clunk" drove me up the wall that much I traded my ps2 in and bought the game for pc

Nintendo did not want to release the specs highlighting they were not about making the console powerful

Check out this video on using the Nintendo Wii's LiveMotion tool. If for no other reason than to watch the speaker do the funky chicken, it is interesting to see how they "record" input on the Wii's controller.
