Buy it from store.nintendo.com it's IN STOCK! So little people know this that people are actually selling for a profit on ebay.

And while you're at it, preorder the component cable, buy 1 dvd game case, and print out this dvd cover for your Wii Sports game:

superstylin · 11-22-2006, 10:37 PM

^^errrr? to put the wii sports into?

wat's goin on!!!?!?! @@

Hyde · 11-24-2006, 06:20 AM

definatly

but i cant seem to find a place that sell white dvd case.... the only option is to actually steal one from EB

mocows · 11-24-2006, 06:58 AM

I got mine from Rogers on wed night (by chance my gf was returning a few movies so I went in as well) in Richmond

Picked up Dragon Ball and Zelda yesterday from EB games. Haven't played Zelda but Dragon Ball is awesome hehe

Mugen EvOlutioN · 11-24-2006, 07:46 AM

are u sure dragon ball z is awsome?

i was thinking about picking it up, the rating was good 8.3/10 from IGN

but when i look at the PICS provided from IGN the graphics doesnt look too good, not too much difference than gamecube's dragon ball??

by the way Zelda is fucking hard, so many mystery to solve. A lot of ppl got stuck at many places.
SO far it took me near 8hrs in the game to complete one dungeon

Hyde · 11-24-2006, 10:21 AM

dragon ball is good, more fun then PS2 version

superstylin · 11-24-2006, 10:51 AM

yeh well i mean in terms of graphics... dbz on the wii is almost identical to the ps2 version. its the style of gameplay that makes it a winner

DAmn..

tatz wat i thought

GUess i wont be getting it than.

IS the Ultimate of alliance out yet for Wii? i play it on the ps2 version already..itz ok~ wondering if the Wii looks any different

U see, im a graphic guy yet i dont enjoy ps2 nor either will i enjoy ps3 tat much, becuz a lot of their games on ps2 takes hr to figure out. WIth my past gamecube i can just turn it on and bang im into the game , for example Resident evil 4

I know a lot of u are gonna tell me if im into graphics than Wii isnt the right console for me, i should go for 360/ps3. The thing is i love my Wii's gameplay in every sort of aspect, itz just tat why cant i have both? if Ninetdo would concentrate on the graphics as well as gameplay they would be no.1 on top of all 3 for sure..

EDIT: with the next generation console, i mean we all would EXPECT a little bit different/better than the previous consoles, which in terms includes the graphics for sure. Or else no point buying a brand new console, just keep on developing wat we had.

superstylin · 11-24-2006, 11:06 AM

yeh i agree with you there man.

mmm maybe if you purchased the wii component cables that would help abit? anyways.. yeh i guess give it a year, and see what nintendo brings to the table in terms of games. as with all consoles, the best games are yet to come.

marvel alliance is out i think.

YA the EB is doing pre-order on the component cable , going to be released on the 28th of this month. $49.99 but dont know wat brand, the guy from EB wasnt sure if itz OEM product or not.

And itz kind of weird how nintendo defends itz console for lack of HDMI cables because they said itz NOT NEEDED. I mean come on, we rather have more outlets than not enough. THe system still has a lot of potential, considering Wii is about 4-6 times faster than gamecube, while PS3 is 40 times faster and better than the previous PS2.

My point of view is this console is going to stay in the market at least for 5-7 years just like all consoles have been until they go out of date. So within this timeline im sure a lot of ppl will be throwing out their old tv and getting new HDTV. So meanwhile why would nintendo limite their machine with so less potential compare to the others? U do have to stay in the market to compete with 360/ps3 in some sort of way, not just relying on the gameplay. What are u going to do when u max out ur console? how much more can u develop? if 99% they care about is gameplay they might as well as slap on the gamecube with Wii's controller and see how far they can develope...not very far i tell u. And same thing with the Wii, the console is going to stay in the market for awhile...im sure 3-4 years down the road they will max out their console, while ps3 is probably half way there.

EDIT: NVM guess i wont be getting the Marvel alliance for the Wii, just read the review on gamespot. THey were sayin about clumsy control and blah blah..sigh...guess i will stick with my zelda and after tat not much great games left until next year

WHy does nintendo always have the same problem over and over again....LACK OF GAMES!! watever 360 have, ps3 has it. Why cant nintendo do the same? and than come out with some of their special games like mario, but still come out the same game other consoles are coming out. For example, why the hell doesnt Wii have WWE raw vs smackdown 2007? 360 has it, PS3 has it...so why the fuck Wii doesnt? And NO NBA!! NO NHL! wat th hell! these are the basics...even better...where is our FIght night round 3??? both consoles have it, and again Wii dont. Resident Evil 5 will be released on both 360/PS3, Ugh.. so where is Wii??

Hyde · 11-24-2006, 12:03 PM

is the console really connected?

anyone know how to get other ppl's Mii to show up?

honda_h2o · 11-24-2006, 03:23 PM

Create a new Mii to have other Mii's to show up
I dont think the Mii Channel thing lets u connect to other Wii Consoles who is also int he Mii Channel.

The Mii is only to personlize your gameplay so that for example if your playing Wii Sports all your records and saves will be saved into that particular Mii

superstylin · 11-24-2006, 03:29 PM

yeh the mii can be saved to the wii remote and taken over to a friends house i believe.

meepmeepdeath · 11-24-2006, 03:37 PM

anyone who wants to try the email thing my wii number is

4573 9613 0513 2600

honda_h2o · 11-24-2006, 03:44 PM

hAhaha cool i will try and send you a email when i come home from work.

You are asking way too much. You want REALLY fun gameplay, new fancy motion sensing technology AND the best graphics. Nintendo probably could have done that and put out a system that costed $900, but then honestly how many would buy it?

If you cannot accept that the graphics will never be as good as an XBOX 360 or a PS3, a Wii is just NOT for you. It's designed to be cheap and fun. You aren't going to buy an Acura RSX and complain that it's not as good as a Lamborghini Gallardo.

honda_h2o · 11-24-2006, 06:47 PM

I just picked up Need For Speed Carbon. This game is tight I recommend it to all driving fans for the Wii.

3540 4235 9624 8849

I understand wat u mean, but hey IMO i really dont mind paying $900 for tat console if i can have everything from gameplay to decent graphics and crazy control.

Sure we cant compare RSX with a Lambo, but u gotta know tat today we are comparing apple to apple. All three consoles/company should all be in the same league, therefore Ninentdo has to find a way to compete with the other 2, and in order to do tat is to stay close with their specs...not like wayyyyy off by a gazzilion years..

honda_h2o · 11-25-2006, 12:10 AM

I think Nintendo's point of sale is in their unique game play and never the graphics, and also Nintendo's target market is for the younger audience as well as the people who aren't familiar with video games who wants to get into video games that why there is a lack of buttons u will need to play a game.

I really dont know why you are comparing the 3 units when each unit has a different target market. You surely wont see a 360 person playing a Wii or a ps3 player playing the Wii.

360 is more the online gaming experience and the PS3 is for the ultimate gamer who has too much money to spend.

I'd go for the 360 over the ps3 any day because of price and online experience. ps3 is capable of doing better with the provided technology but their games are not necessarily any better then 360 game thus far ive been hearing reviews.
