I'm already kinda tired of mine. I've had it since launch...played a lot of Wii Sports and some Zelda but I can't get into it. Now, after spending $450 (2 games/component cables/2gb SD Card), it's starting to collect dust.

Is it a sign that I'm getting too old for games? I dunno...

heh...i know what you mean. im just waiting for smash bros brawl to come out (playing zelda TP, gamecube games i never got to play, and VC games), and im willing to bet that mostly everyone that has it will be playing it nonstop online.

no i think its the same reason i didnt buy one...I feel its very gimicky and the controller will only be "cool" for so long.


To each his own.

I keep going back and forth between my PC and my Wii

I think with the Wii I'm waiting for some more engaging titles at the moment...

I'm getting Madden for X-mas from relatives so that will help some. It's just some days I dont wanna be swinging around with my Wiimote(wii sports) or doing surgery(trauma center) I just wanna sit on my computer and either nef here or play something simple

It's a keeper tho, I'm very excited for the new Smash Bros game.

Finally, some decent stuff on VC:


On Christmas morning, Wii owners will be treated to a surprise visit from Mario himself in the form of Super Mario Bros. for the NES, which can be downloaded for a mere 500 Wii Points. If Mario is not your thing -- although that would make owning a Wii pretty strange -- then there are plenty of other ways to sate your thirst for classic gaming on the Wii. Street Fighter II from the SNES is also slapping its way onto Nintendo's download service for 800 Wii Points. Players looking to vent their Christmas morning frustrations on the legions of the undead can do so with Super Castlevania IV, going for 800 Wii Points. Satisfying the desires of every child of the 90s, SEGA has saw fit to offer up the much-beloved Genesis title, ToeJam & Earl for 800 Wii Points. Finally, R-Type for the TurboGrafx-16 makes its return for 800 Wii Points.

I finally was able to find one online at Wal-Mart, probably won't see it until late next week if I'm lucky. But finally got one!

 

[DanTMWTMP]

download the browser now! i`m posting from my wii!!! woooo!

edit: does this make me the first user in AT to post from a wii?! wjooooooo!

 

[pontifex]

so my wii's blue light is on and going through the update motions but my wireless router is not doing anything. the transmit light is not blinking. if i turn on the wii, it seems to interrupt the update.

or as long as it blinks on the wii, it should be ok?

 

[Eeezee]

So how long until the shortage ends?

 

[eelw]

The WII Opera browser is pretty slick.

What's you guys' best score on the golf 9-hole? My friend did -4 and I got -2 today. I could have gotten -4 too but I messed up putting in one hole. He did two eagles during his run.
And did anyone get Super Swing Golf? Is it comparable?

I got a -3 under on 9 hole the other day. Though that was mostly from the Hole in One I got on the 3rd hole(i think)

[purbeast0]

I thought the blinking light just meant you have a message. It is probably just the message from Nintendo telling you that Opera is up now.

 

[SoulAssassin]

anyone who has pulled down opera have you tried playing games on wiicade.com or any ROM sites? How well does it work?
