The **Official** Nintendo Wii Thread

Has anyone else thrown out their arm using this sytem? Seriously, my arm is pretty f'd up from that bowling game. I think I must have been getting carried away trying to throw the ball down the lane super fast. Playing Zelda everything is fine, but now if I swing my arm forward for the bowling game there is a sharp pain down my entire arm when I stop the forward motion.

Why are you calling me a dumbass again? I declared you a fanboy and I was right, if anything I deserve a f*cking cookie.

I'm bashing the Wii? How so? Did you not read the last sentence of my post?

Don't abruptly stop, follow through. I don't have my Wii yet, just assuming it won't hurt as much if you follow through.

I played it in EB Games, it really wasn't my cup of tea.

They must have a Mario Kart title in development.

I GOT MY WIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!

I searched for about 3 hours and finally found one at Gamestop. I went to Bestbuy, Toys R Us, Circuit City, Sams, 2 EB Games, Sears, and when I hit up the second EB they told me that they just got off the phone with Gamestop that had them. WIIII!!!!!

Anyone get Madden 07? I saw an EA developer video highlighting it on Joystiq a while back and it looked really cool.

It's funny, my fiancee has never played games but when I showed her Wii Sports I couldn't get her to stop playing! I had to run around to three stores before I found another Wiimote so we could play together, lol.

I'm interested in thoughts about Madden 07, too. I don't normally like football games, but the interaction might sell me.

 

[codeyf]

I bought Madden, but haven't opened it yet. Will be tough to give it a shot tonight. Depends on how MNF goes, but I'm not gonna miss Heroes...

 

[merlocka]

1) Yes, my arm hurts. I think I broke my rotator cuff
2) I can't believe Nintendo isn't going to get sued for injuries. You put 4 hyper kids in a room with 4 Wiimotes and someone is going home with black eye or sans tooth.
3) This sh!t is fun.
4) Yes, Zelda is good.
5) I want my component cables, dammit.

I got mine at Costco. They didn't have it at my local one, I had to rush over to the next town over and luckily they had 48. I was number 29. Overall it wasn't a bad experience, I left the house at 8:15am and was playing by 11am. Excite truck was fun, it takes a lot of practice though. Sports is awesome, i'm a bit sore today from boxing, they is quite a workout I must say.

I am stuck in Zelda trying to save that damn cat, anyone know what to do with that?

Here is the answer, because it was such a huge PITA for me, too.

Get the cradle from the monkey by blowing on a piece of grass. Remember, the location of the grass is within sight of the monkey. Get the fishing rod from the thankful mother and go catch a fish, it took me awhile to find the fish, til someone mentioned that he watches them all day

LOL... I must have spent 10 minutes trying to grab the cat before moving on to try something else. I even sent the hawk to try and pick it up... I also sent to hawk into the water to see if it could grab fish.

Trying to turn and ambulate patients at the hospital today......was not fun after all my time with Wii sports...

But I iced my shoulder and elbow, took 800 of Motrin and I'm about to fire it back up!

No luck at the Toys R Us in Newark, CA. They did however have plenty of games (Zelda, Red steel etc) and a box full of remotes and nunchucks. I picked up a remote and nunchuck and also Zelda.

I had troubles connecting at all when I first set the system up. But once I did the manual set-up of the wireless connection I got connected and it has been working perfectly since. My router is upstairs, so it is farther away than yours and the signal is going through a floor/ceiling. Not sure what your issue could be.

Try setting it up with your wireless security turned off. Once it is connected, go back in and turn the wireless security back on and add the password to the Wii settings.

Anyone having the same problem I have? with the overly bright/washed out screens?

picked up my wii today. I love the system! The wii sports are fun especially boxing. So far i hate Zelda it seems boring and too much running back and worth and i am stuck at a spot only 30 mins into the game and dunno what to do. Tomorrow i will try Red Steel and COD 3.

also i thought the wii was supposed to have an opera web browser? how do i browse the net with it, it is connected wirelessly but i do not see a way to check my myspace from it

from what i heard, the first 45 minutes of zelda sucks......it gets better though.

I was completely lost since there isn't any help out there, so it took me 1.5 hours to figure out Link's village. No spoliers, but once I noticed something in the village it dawned on me.

And today I feel like I worked out for hours.

screw spoilers this isn't a movie it is a game! knowing something won't take away the joy of playing it (or lack of)
tell me!

No. Is it every game? Have you tried another Coposite input on your TV, or perhaps a new Composite cable?
