The **Official** Nintendo Wii Thread

[Crucial]

All the targets in my area said they got a shipment in on tuesday and don't know when they would be getting more. The lack of availability sucks. You can't even find controllers around here. One target had 4 wiimotes but no nunchucks. I don't even have a wii yet but I picked up Zelda and the wiimote so I wouldn't have to look later.

Now...I gotta sell the damn thing to try to get my money back...at least I got to try it out!

sell it to an atoter. i'm sure someone here would be willing to buy it from you.

Yeah, I'll see if I can post it on the FS/FT forum and get away with it.

Well...since I can't do that (per forum rules)...if anyone wants this Wii bundle let me know....I'm not looking to get any extra $$$ out of the deal....just looking to get what I paid for it.

can't do what? you can't sell your Wii per forum rules?
just PM one of the people that are looking for one.

Yeah dude, go look at the stickies in the FS/FT forum...I guess the mods aren't allowing PS3 and Wii sales due to price gouging.

While I wouldn't be selling the bundle I got @ cost...I would sell it for what I paid for it...so I wouldn't be gouging....but I don't want to upset the mods.

just pm someone that wants one. thats how i got mine. another member pmed me and said he got 2 and wanted to sell one at cost.

Seriously, I've been trying to get one of these since release... and yes... for me, not ebay. I'll even send you a picture of me and my 4 kids playing it Heck, I'll mark it up so it wouldn't sell on ebay... whatever you want

Anyone playing Zelda disappointed by how easy the bosses are? What happened to tougher bosses like in NES and SNES days? I hope Nintendo did not gimping the game to please less hardcore crowd.

Good Call on picking those up.

I am hoping to 'run into' some wiimotes and nunchucks. I would be happy in just picking a wiimote or two, and worrying about the nunchucks later.

If anyone is looking for a Wii, someone that works at Target told me that they will have some on Sunday. It will be on the Sunday Target ad. At the store he works at they already got delivered but won't sell them till Sunday.

is this only in the LI area or the entire tri-state?

At least its harder than wind waker.

 

[codeyf]

I too am a bit surprised at the ease of Zelda so far...without getting in to detail...

But i'm loving it none the less.

I think that was one of the bigger complaints. But some reviewers didn't mind because they still enjoyed the game as a whole.

I've only done one dungeon, so I can't say. But I suck at games too... apparently after two tries of breaking a windows... i didn't hit it exactly right and wasted a lot of time wondering WTF i did wrong... hahaha

Yeah, I just finished that last weekend (figured I'd finally do so before getting the new one)... and I was like "WTF, it's over already?"
Has Ganon ever been that easy to beat before?

On Tuesday I was able to pick up the 2 nunchuks I needed from a local Target. They were putting everything out (Wiis included) as they apparently just got a shipment in. First time I'd seen any of the hardware on the shelves. I hurriedly bought my nunchuks and got the hell out. Not 10 minutes later they pulled everything and put it all back in the back in order to save it for Sunday.

Circuit City is giving away 1 Wii a day for 24 days; for those, including me, who want a Wii. :'(

but how does one go about asking for someone to pm them if it's not allowed? I can't find one of the dam things anywhere and would buy one from here but not for the $400+ they are asking on ebay.

Maybe put something in your sig that says "Got an extra Wii? PM me!"
I dunno if that would be frowned upon or not. Maybe you should PM a mod first. I won't be held responsible if you get banned

I am the grand master. After at least 100 tries, I have finally beaten stage 7-4 in monkey ball. I honestly can't imagine it getting any harder. Anyone else got this game?

 

[randay]

I thought Ocarina of Time was easier, and if you bother to collect all the masks in Majoras Mask - there isn't any easier boss fight when using the Fierce Deity mask, talk about opening a can of whoopass

Sounds like there's a few people in this thread who wouldn't mind buying it.

 

[pontifex]

make a post saying you want a wii. that way if someone has one to sell, they can pm you.
my comment was directed to a person who had one he wanted to sell, not a person who wants to buy one.


got red steel tonight but not a controller could be found. the wii sections in all 4 stores i went to were pretty much picked bare.

is excite truck any good? what about NFS: Carbon?

Excite Truck is not so great. Shame on them for trying to sell the game on the Excite name alone.

I thought it was fun. Polarized view on this game.

I'm thinking about starting a Wii Sports bowling high game thread... What do you guys think? An ATOT leaderboard for bowling?

 

[Cabages]

Anyone else getting error codes trying to access the wii shop channel, and agreeing to that license agreement thing? I keep getting error code 220602.

BTW: Is the opera web browser available yet?
