Nintendo Wii.

Delayed gratification Trust me, it's well worth the wait.

I didn't get to play any last night so I'm dying at work today. Only 5 more hours until I can kick some Hyrule ass!

I'm with goliath, I hate you all. I don't know when I'll be able to pick up the Wii and reading all the gloriousness of Twilight Princess is making me sad. I even had a dream I was playing it, how pathetic is that?

That is actually quite pathetic

I just love the way you use the controller in the game. My ex was over to see my Wii (I've already heard all the jokes so just keep them to yourself), and she loved it. She had a blast with Wii Sports and she wanted me to teach her how to play Zelda.

Only 4.5 hours to go.

When you swung the knun-chuck at enemies while playing Zelda, did you imagine his/her face on each enemy....cause I've been there, it helps.

As much as I'm looking forward to Zelda - and believe me I'm SO looking forward to Zelda - I simply get a rush thinking of Super Mario Galaxy. I loved Mario 64 more than any other game. Sunshine was fantastic too. No one does a platformer like Nintendo!

Anyone hear anything concrete on it's release? I reaf Q1, but I need specifics...

I'M DYING HERE!!!!!!!!!!

No. I don't have any animosity towards my ex. She's not insane like Kit's ex.

And she bought me the CW bust ups so I try to be nice to her as well.

Mario Galaxy does look pretty good. I'm suprised that Nintendo launched the Wii without a mario game, don't think they've ever done that before. I checked a few gaming sites, one is here https://www.gamepro.com/nintendo/wii/games/previews/85351.shtml
and they all say Mario Galaxy is going to be released 3/15/2007 for the U.S. Don't know if that is different for Europe or Asia.

Gamecube had Luigi's Mansion (good game but WAAAAYYY too short), but no Mario title until the following summer.

I'm now waiting for either Super Smash Brothers or Metroid Prime 3. But at least I have Zelda to keep me company for the time being

Nice to see such a big Zelda following. Like I said before I am addicted to TP and there is just a ton of stuff to do in it. Sounds like it may be a while yet until Galaxy comes out.

 

[Asura]

I played Zelda:Tp a bit, great game. It's not more innovative than ofT, but still fun none the less. I picked up twilight princess soundtrack at target, with the MR Sword and Shield.

The Wii Sports (comes with the Wii) is alot of fun. Excite Truck is great as well.

Thanks for that, much appreciated! :chew :chew :chew

Yeah, most likely be at least a month after the US launch before it hits the UK. Damn those other EU countries and their non-english tongues! DAMN THE WORLD FOR NOT ADOPTING PAL!!!


AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

Ahem... only j/k Honest... :emperor

Am I the only one that thinks it's funny that you hear and see all this praise for the Wii and you hear next to nothing from people who just HAD to have the PS3?

I think it's great. I'm by no means a Sony hater, but I hate the fact that people swear by the PS2 when it was the weakest of all 3 systems. And now the shortages that Sony is having should scare people but it has the reverse effect, not to mention there are no great games out for the launch.

People are just in LOVE with Sony and I think that it's ridiculous. A company can do wrong and I think Sony has had their fair share of **** ups with the PS3. That's OK though because I am a Wii360er for life or until something better comes along.

 

[Crash1207]

I have to admit, after reading all the rave reviews I'm wanting to test out the Wii myself and I never thought I'd be saying that.

 

[mfoga]

Ok, How big is the console? I am thinking it might make a great travel system. I just found out I have just been given another state to cover because the guy who has been covering it is a idiot and the State DOJ has requested someone else and they mentioned my name so its mine now. So that means I may be heading back to Hotel life and it looks like is small and could travel easy.

It's not very big, only slightly bigger than a car cd player. Nice and compact.
I also think it's awesome that Wii is the #1 system by critics, PS3 may be selling for more, but I don't hear anything about it.

 

[El Roranous]

...PS3 may be selling for more, but I don't hear anything about it.

You really don't hear anything about it, or at least I haven't. Probably because it is a less than stellar system.

Cool, I think you dont hear much about PS3 is they all are on ebay or were bought by rich parents or there kids christmas presents.

I never did understand the zealots. People who 'love' Sony... or Microsoft or Nintendo, and think all their new console are 'awesome' (even before they've seen them never mind played them) and think that all the other consoles are pathetic.

2 generations ago I loved my PS1, last generation I loved my Gamecube, and this generation I wasn't sure where I was going, but as soon as Nintendo released images of their new controller (and like everyone else I was expecting some gamepad looking thing... with a difference maybe, after all the talk of touch screens and such, but a gamepad none the less) and then they released pics of the wiimote.

"what the............"

was my first reaction. But once I'd realised what they were doing... "ohhh, you MOVE it... woahh, cool" I just HAD to have it.

I can't wait for the Wii to come out over here (and for me to have money to buy it, lol) it's the only system I've really been excited about this generation. Although seeing truly next-gen graphics like Gears on the 360 make me go "omg... that's IN GAME graphics" I love moments like that.

But the Wii it will be and maybe in a few years followed by either one of the other two. (although I said that about my gamecube, and I never DID get a PS2. although i still want one for just a few games I've been dying to have a go of)

I'm with you on a few points. The Wii is the only system I went and waited for in my whole life. I think the N64 was the last system to get me THIS excited.

I can understand the zealots mentality though, because I just always blindly trust Nintendo. And once you have faith in a company like that, you get a little 1 sided sometimes. I can see people who defend PS3 before they have it if they're Sony purists, but...I never knew any Sony purists. Nintendo has a strange kind of hard-core dedicated troop. I feel like I'm one, I've never been disapointed by them, and they always up the ante on what matters in games, HAVING FUN!

Also, I did see GOW recently played on a huge HD screen at Best Buy, OMG Really cool looking. I may get an XBOX 360 in the next yeaar or so....maybe.
