| *OFFICIAL* RS - Nintendo Wii Thread
- i'll follow in BennyBoy's example and start a Nintendo Wii thread 
look here for some quick reviews of games, inital reactions you guys might have, or just wanna talk about it.
-me personally i haven't bought a game yet.. thought i'd try out the Wii Sports just to get the hang of things and i've find it very fun! boxing is so cool.. albeit a little hard to control sometimes, but it reminds me of punchout for NES.. ahhh little mac lol.
-i'll prolly grab a copy of twilight princess tmr or something.... i'm kinda on the fence about picking up Red Steal due to the fact that it got a 5.5/10 on gamespot. but what do you guys think about it? games that you guys have bought? and have they started to sell the wii classic style remote? or is it better to just grab a old GC controller?
i can't wait for the virtual console to expand even more to include Starfox 64. that game was intense!!
go! go! go!

I really liked bowling. Creating the Mii's were fun. I thought the slide show worked really well as well.
Anyone try the email thing yet?

graphics for redsteel sucks so bad...I didn't even want to try it.
zelda is pretty cool. but overall.. feels like they made it for gamecube then added the new shit for wii.
wii Sports, good to play with group of friends. but golf part is kind of weak.

I'm in love with Zelda, awesome game. Using the Wii remote to aim is SO much easier than a thumbstick! If you're having trouble aiming your Wii remote, open up the calibration tool in options inside Zelda. Since I got it all calibrated up it's been PERFECT.
I also got GT Pro Series which I havent spent much time with, but for the short duration I did play it I had a lot of fun steering with the wheel.
Wii Sports is obviously just a demonstration tool for the motion sensing capabilities the Wii has. It's a LOT of fun to play with friends, but there's not much to the games. When developers start releasing fullsize games featuring each individual sport, I can see them being awesome.
EDIT: Yes, the Wii Classic remotes are available.

Edit: hmm the link doesn't seem to work. just search it on nintendo.com online store.

snap.. $35.99 cad for the component cables.. ill just wait a bit aha.
and in terms of the classic controllers.. i know you can use the old GC controllers with the Wii. now is it fully compatible? if you already have GC controllers.. are you just buying the Wii controller for novelty?

| You mean the Wii classic? They're two totally different layouts, some may prefer the new one, some may prefer the old one. It doesn't matter which you choose.
In terms of Wii remotes though, you must have them for most games.

w00t! picked up a wii today from TRU (metro). funny, because they had signs plastered throughout the store saying they were sold out, but i saw one woman buying one, so I asked the clerk if that was a pre-sale, and he said that he had "several" in the back! went over to zellers to get raving rabbids (sold out at toys r us).
what other games should i get (not a fan of zelda, so don't recommend that)? having a blast with wii sports so far.

man just finished playing some DBZ.. overall it a good game for sure. i like the whole control scheme with the nunchuck/remote, however i feel that the game would be better played with the classic controller. dam i should rented it first aha.. wanna try out to many other games now.

I just got myself a Wii today and bought 3 games, Zelda, GT Pro Series, Red Steel.
Zelda no need to say anything its indeed the best launch game at the moment.
Red Steel I actually found it quite good, I picked up the controller function pretty fast and started whipping through the levels. The graphics are not too bad at all, basically most of the game graphics u see on the Wii would be a enhanced version of the original Xbox.
GT Pro Series dont look at the back of the game box, you might think this is the shittiest game ever made, but when you play it it is a whole new experience. the graphics are actually not too bad because the style of graphics is similar to what you see in Animatrix, all the cars are in japanese style cartoon. The racing wheel which came with it was pretty cool. There is still 1 copy of this game at Metro Zellers.
I am loving this machine, its so small and mobile. I used my Ds wifi connector and easily connected my Wii to the internet. Got everything updated easily with no break ups. The wifi has alot wider range then the DS.
My USB connector is in my room while the Wii is in my Living downstairs. At the same time if I turned on both my Ds lite and Wii my Wii will have a 3 bar strongest signal compared to my Ds with only 1 - 2 bars max.
I have alot tried out the photo album which comes with the Wii Channels. Man reminds you of a sticker photo machine. Very nice you can play your own mp3 music during a slide show or thematic mood songs that is defaulted in the system. Great tool I love this quick n easy way of viewing photos with family. The Video function works great as well as it was playing videos from the camera I recorded from.
All in All I rate this system a 9.5/10
My parents are even enjoying this machine.
My setup
