Jeesh guys, just wait until Nintendo releases a core system and starts selling Wii Sports separately for $50. Trade in the pack-in version for $4 credit at EB/GS and you're all set.

LOL I fucking quit. I'm gonna play my Wii.
It's three dollars and fifty cents for 10. Use the rest for DVDs or something.Quote:

Yeah, I guess. I only mentioned it in this thread for humor purposes -- didn't want to turn it into the Giltch Gets Disgruntled and Quits EB thread.

I could have sworn you just posted that 10 minutes ago.
He did. I saw it too.
Yeah in the Zelda thread, I had two tabs open and thought I was posting here.
Dont need it for DVDs when I dont even buy much to begin withQuote:

If you work, or have a friend that works at EB Games, or Gamestop, just see if you can get one from them. We got a whole box full of the white DVD cases, so I'm going to see if I can get one for Wii Sports.
Lost contact with my old EB co-workers. So no go for me. Hopefully James can come through for me.Quote:

What a barrel of gay. No online shit besides Virtual Console at launch.
Oh noes, wherever will you get your up to the minute weather now?
Honestly, though, I know it's kinda lame, but it's not that surprising considering there won't be only online Wii games until January or so, and we were told that months ago.
The weather's always sunnier when it comes from my Wii. :(
Walmart had their wiimotes out on the shelf tonight. I tried to buy one but they wouldnt sell it to me. Oh wellz. It's tiny and the buttons are identical to the DSlite.
What launch games are TNL'ers picking up with their Wii's?
For me it's:
Zelda TP
Maybe Red Steel
I'll jump on Excite Truck when the price drops to $30, same with Rayman.
Buy Wii because dog$ hates it, or don't buy Wii because Spodaddy likes it. Shit, tough. Maybe i'll buy it and then sell it.
But first, Zelda and Trauma Center. Everyone says Rayman is awesome, but i just can't imagine it. Had to cancel Metal Slug because i'm moving at the end of the month, but i'll get it eventually.
I'm kind of tempted by Excite Truck eventually, because I like big stupid racers. If we ever get a demo unit in this state I'll find out first-hand if I care.
James
I already bought Rayman and I'm picking up Zelda at launch. I'm gonna try to rent Red Steel and Excite Truck as soon as I can.
You won't be let down! Man, I was pretty skeptical about the demo but it had me grinning like an idiot within minutes.Quote:

Zelda and Trauma Center!!
Red Steel is going to be crap, we all know it.
It keeps going back and forth, I don't know what to think anymore. One place says awesome, one place says crap, one says awesome, one says crap, and so on and so forth.
I'm surprised that more people are willing to try unknown successes/failures like Red Steel and Rayman over the new Monkey Ball game, which according to all of the reviews thus far, seems to represent a return to the series' past level of excellence.
When I think Super Monkey Ball, I think anus.com
for now it's just Zelda for me, in a few months I'll be grabbing Red Steel, trauma center and MSA.
Ditto.Quote:

If people are going to buy Wario Ware for the Wii, then why not Rayman?
If there's one thing the Wii should excel at, its party games.
I wouldn't pay anywhere near $50 for WarioWare either, so your point may be valid.
Super Monkey Ball FTW imo.
As soon as I hear that music and voice over I get giddy.

Zelda review
It must be easy as hell is Jeremy Parrish liked it.
Let it go Yoshi. Just let it go.
Updated my image of the cover.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3..._watermark.jpg
Removed the Mii character and added Ninty logo on spine. Also fixed the text to make it more clearer as well as the red boxes in the IMPORTANT and WARNING. Just waiting for the gf to bring back the printed versions before i post it.
Not to mention, it will be PDF file (less than 1MB), 200 dpi and will have crop marks to let you know where to cut (you'll need to draw lines..in pencil so you can follow it)
So, I assume the Wii is still on track to have millions on shelves between launch and year's end? Any news on missed production quantities?
The 'net is so full of PS3 news these days...
Well, the long anticipated PS3 DID LAUNCH TODAY!Quote:

WTF? People already on line for the Wii. I called the Walmart in Westbury LI to find out what time they open (thinking of swinging by to get accessories if they have) and the person said that there are people on line already!
FUCK!!!! GS only have wiimotes for reserves. Come on Johnpv!

Fuck. I was gonna go one hour before opening on Sunday, no more.
I "camped out" for ten hours (12AM-10AM) in front of TRU last Sunday to secure my Wii and a copy of Zelda. I was planning on just showing up a few hours or so before they opened, but I drove by at around 11PM Saturday night and saw that there were already a few people out there. Knowing they only had 20 pre-orders, it was before midnight and heads were already in attendance, I said fuck it lets get this over with, called my friend and we did the damn thing. 30 something people showed up before 7AM.
Now all I need are some fairly decent third party component cables...
Fuck it, if I can't get a spot by midnight tomorrow I'm not getting it at launch.
The EB Games near Korly's work told me the same.Quote:

I just got my first paycheck from my new job, and I'm really fucking tempted to buy a Wii. New console fever is getting to me just like it did last year with 360, which I ended up with. :sweat:
Bandit, awesome cover man. I approve!
Yep, final version will have no watermark. I just posted an image of the final look above.Quote:

so some dudes go to buy a ps3 at a Sears...only to be turned down and offered a Wii instead...so they buy the Wii.

Let me know what yout think. Its best if you print on legal sized paper (8.5x14). If you print on normal 8.5x11, it might get cut off a little? I dont know for sure since I had the gf print from her job on legal paper.
The actual art is about 10.75x7.25. So with normal paper, it might get cut off a little.

For those who work at EB/GS. Is it true that these shirts are for those who preordered the Wii?
"me no bastaad, me bwuce wii!"
That almost looks like Reggie.
I like the art Bandit. Very nice.
What's the big deal with the Wii Sports insert?
I stopped by the local Walmart to check on the status of Wii-age. They have tons of accessories there, already out on the shelf, but but they said they only got 20 systems. TWENTY! I'm gonna stop there around six or so tomorrow to make sure there isn't some huge line for it like the PS3. If there is, then fuck it, I'll get one on the next shipment, I'm not waiting more than a few hours. I figure I can last about as long as the batteries in my DS and TurboExpress combined.
Bandit, your cover is awesome, big thanks. I'm not sure where you got your artwork from, but it looks much better than what I was putting together.
Because it comes in a cardboard sleeve. Some people prefer to put the game into an actual DVD case.Quote:

Thanks. Someone made a insert as well but their images was better quality then what I found on the web. I downloaded their 56MB PDF and just took the images.Quote:

Well, my Walmart has more Wimotes/Nunchucks and classic controllers than they have systems, so if the supply runs dry and I can find them here I'll hook anyone up for the cost of shipping.
Go to stores that don't normally selll games. WHerehouse Music, Sears, etc...Quote:

I'll let you know but I dont think it would do me any good if I cant get it by Thanksgiving (having a party with the gfs family). Johnpv is going to try and help me out with getting one at NWS. I'm going to hit up Walmart in Westbury before they open (7am). Hopefully they have and let me in. Once I get it or not, I'm heading straight to GS to pick up my 3 Wii'sQuote:

Fuck that noise, if it's anything like GC I'll be very ridiculously happy. Gamecube had a shit ton of games that I really enjoyed playing and got a lot of good time out of.Quote:

I really did felt like I was bowling (albeit abit easier), spinning the ball isn't easy (I tend to overspin). I can see my wife and I play many games of bowling.
The tennis game isn't so hot, same thing with baseball. Boxing is kinda mindless fun. I can't wait to see what talented devs can come up with.
I do wish the graphics is abit stronger, Excite Truck looks like a first gen xbox game. Hopefully, the system can pump out better stuff in 2nd/3rd gen lineup.
