Official Wii Thread

Played around with a demo kiosk today. Made a Mii, played Excite Truck and left some off-color memos on the message board.

The remote is really sensitive. You can change the settings but I was really impressed at how accurate and quick the cursor is. Making a Mii and messing around with the parade and such was fun for a few minutes, but I really wanted to get into Excite Truck.

The controls were, again, more sensitive than I'd imagined, but treating the remote like a steering wheel was easy and I got the hang of things pretty quickly. The game itself is fun, but not as impressive looking as some of the other games for launch. I'm pretty sure it was hooked up via composite.

Lastly, you have to see the remote to believe it. It's much smaller than I thought it would be, but really easy to use.

All I can say is that I'm looking forward to this.

Or they could charge six hundred motherfucking dollars and throw in the component cable. Either way.

cos-playing. My girl thought she worked for Nintendo but she wasnt. She came from NJ to try out the Wii. When she got there, they cut off the line. She got there too late.

she's definitely hardcore and its too bad she didn't get there in time to try out the wii.

When we were waiting in line, there was a kid dressed with a mario hat, mustache and white gloves. There was a guy passing by wearing a green luigi hat.

A target about 20 minutes away is getting 120.

if you don't mind me asking, where is this target?

I've seen lesbians chicks in that hairdo. Probably why it turns me on.
