Well, actually the Wii is my bro's; but the point is, I found one. Here's the story, I went to EBX and asked. They said they had them but it wasn't in the system. I had to wait ten minutes for the supervisor to come. The supervisor said it wasn't their shipment, it was Funcoland's. So I followed him over to Funcoland and finally purchased a Wii. It was only one box with three Wii's in it. Insane. I've heard that people only get a Wii just as the delivery arrives, but I didn't know how true it was. There was already someone on the phone who also knew that the packages had come in. So at least two were gone.
For all that said there was... there is NO calibration setting on the Wii. I don't know wtf you guys were talking about. Sensitivity, screen position and all that jazz is not calibration.
So I played 2 games, Wii Sports, Boxing & Twilight Princess. The Boxing game wasn't very responsive to my movements. The reason is that you can't do anything but punch forward. You can't uppercut, you can crouch. All you can do is dodge left, dodge right, punch low and punch high. This is really disappointing. I expected something much better, than non-responsive simple controls like this. The game could've been so much more satisfying.
The graphics for Zelda TP look pretty good. They don't try to be realistic, but it's one of the most detailed Zelda game ever. Wind Waker is a little fuzzy in my head though, so I can't really say; but at least the 2nd most detailed Zelda. This game has no problem communicating what it wants and at times can even be impressive. If only my bro had a good TV, it would have been better. I still think the Wii should have gone for 720p. At least they put out progressive.
I got stuck in Zelda. I can't believe it was on the first mission too. And I mean the very first. I looked at an guide and I still can't figure out what I did wrong. Getting the bulls to go into the barn. Hard. I tried to round them up one by one - do you know how many times they ran across or turned away from the front of the doorway of the barn? Many. One even looked like it went in, only to be spit out again. This is tough. I didn't know rounding cattle would be this hard. Anyway, I gave up due to frustration. I didn't know how to get them in. Fado just said round them in. What was I doing wrong?
Update:
To comment on the noise of the Wii. Remember that guy that tested the noises and said the Wii was the loudest of the bunch. What a crack smoking liar! The Wii, while playing a game with the CD spinning is a little lower than the 360 when you first turn it on without a DVD inside. The loudest noise that the Wii makes is when it's spitting or swallowing the CD, which is irrelevant.
