no one?

my guess is that nintendo is making regular weekly shipments. youre just going to have to figure out how to be in the right place at the right time to get one.

so many mixed reviews for COD3 and red steel. I picked up COD3 and haven't played, but it doesn't seem too bad graphically. It's not stunning, but alright.

and I ordered nunchucks on the 3rd. I GOT THEM TODAY (paid for the $7 shipping)!!!!!!!!!! what sucks is I also acquired a 4th remote but I had already put in the order for the nunchucks.

Non-Nintendo USB to Ethernet Adapter that works with the Wii. Got mine today and it works flawlessly. So for those of you who don't want to go wireless and don't want to wait till Jan for the Nintendo one, there is at least one that works.

I'm stuck on one of the bosses.

In the Time Palace. How do you kill that piece of ****** Giant Spider that's on the ceiling

so does anyone have any suggestions for carrying cases that aren't too expensive? I was thinking of getting a messenger bag... I've found myself traveling w/ my Wii often (my place isn't very ideal). Not sure if I should factor in gamecube controllers too.. haha. just seeing if anyone else is looking too...

I'm using my Shuttle XPC case for my Wii.

I'm holding out for Wii Play before I buy my fourth remote.

3 times in a row I got 9 Home Runs in a row and f'ning fouled off the 10th pitch! AHHHHH I will get 10 home runs in the home run derby if my right arm falls off.

:disgust: :|

I brought mine into work today, and I was playing with one of the other Miis on my system (not my own), and I hit 9 out of 10. I would have been PISSED if I hit 10 out of 10 and it wasn't with my Mii

Ok well not actually in stock but they are atleast taking orders!!

Anyone willing to lay down $700 should definitely go for it! Although I'm just wanting COD3, Madden 07, and Red Steel and don't really need any other games right now.

I have COD3. it sucks.
graphics suck, control sucks etc

I'm stuck in the beggining of COD3. The part where the German knocks you over, and you wrestle with his rifle. Everytime it breaks loose, he hits me in the head with the rifle.

 

[Quasmo]

Finally took my system over to a friends house to play, got some 3 player action going on. I bowled a 246 when I was drunk, with Capsulor, glad to know I can throw a ball at a bunch of virtual pins better than reality.

I'd think so.

Go my Wii this AM with an extra controller/nunchuck, Zelda, Red Steel and it came with Wii sports and Wii Play.

Sports is a hoot. Me and the GF love it. Red steel is pretty cool when you get used to the control method. Not tried Zelda or Wii Play yet. (Wii play was in the extra controller box.)

I'm in the UK, BTW and all stores appear to be out of stock already in 1.5 days! GO WII!

 

[DivideBYZero]

Do we have a Wii Numbers thread? Here is mine: 1303 9169 1959 0478

Is Wii Play good? Bastards aren't releasing it in the US until January 15.

Got an extra Wiimote at EB Games at the Irvine Spectrum. Of course, they are out of nunchucks.

 

[Crucial]

Got my extra nunchuck from nintendo.com on Friday. It came in a plastic bag with a cardboard top. Said official Nintendo spare part on it. Looks new though so who's complaining. They should price it as oem and give you a small break though.

A gold medal and a dang good feeling....not as easy as it looks/sounds.

 

[Skyye]

respect and admiration of your peers....no wait, a dollar?? no thats not it.....I'm not sure what you get, perhaps satisfaction??

So DeathBUA what exactly did you get??? I bet it was a golden wii-mote right??? Oooooh I so badly want one of those!

 

[Skyye]
