That would be cool.

I just got my Wii yesterday morning. For anyone still trying to find one, Toys R Us told me they get shipments Sunday morning of 40-50 consoles, and they open at 10am. That's how I got mine.
My arms are sore from the boxing game that came with it, I must have played for 3 hours last night. There's something really fun about beating the crap out of a guy with glasses on. I also got Zelda: TP but I've already beat it on GC so I'm going to wait until I get bored with the other games to start on that. Excite Truck was ok, but I wasn't blown away by it.
OOooh, try to see if you can gives us your comparison between the GC and Wii versions of Zelda then.
I guess I can someday when I actually get time to play it on the Wii. So far all I've done is start the game and herd some goats into the barn. I never really felt like anything was missing on the GC as far as controls except maybe fishing, which was obviously designed for the new controller - but then I only fished twice to beat the game.

Wii is outselling PS3 4:1 in Japan. The slight game drought can be attributed to developer's wait-and-see attitude.
If a developer isn't on board yet, they will be soon. You can't really ignore such a large installed base when considering sales for a new game.

I agree that the wii is stagnating. It just proves that games can make or break a system. I never owned a gamecube, however, so I'm playing a few gamecube games that I would highly recommend: Tales of Symphonia, Resident Evil 4, Paper Mario Thousand Year Door are all fun games.
Didn't really get into any Wii games except Zelda. Wii sports is fun, but loses playability. Too bad they don't have tournament modes or seasons to track stats and rankings.
The only game on the horizon that I am looking forward to is Mario Galaxy. Hopefully we'll be suprised with some fun FPS or RPGs... but you never know.
I think Nintendo needs to start pushing hard to release some better titles, or the Wii will be forgotten by Summer.

No, I mean in the future when there is big news about the Wii, put it in the OP of this thread. But yeah, Dug should put a link to this thread in his OP too.![]()

they need internet play stat too.
And unfortunately, I don't see Nintendo making good on it. Disappointing, but certainly not a deal breaker for me. But if they don't get online play working, that will be a huge blow to Nintendo for the hardcore fans.Originally posted by: potato28

My Wii is turning in to a party system. I haven't played Zelda in about a month now and am waiting for any other fun single player games to come out. Seems like a bunch of great party games have come out (Rayman, Warioware, etc) but very few compelling single player games.
I think that's where its greatest weakness is. No doubt it's a great system when you have people over, but for single player (along with online), I'm still playing my 360 probably on a 10:1 ratio.
EDIT for adding that I have big hopes for Metroid as a great single player game.

They really need the online. Almost like everyone says Wii Sports should be updated with more sports, maybe online when they finally get to implementing it(when MP3 due?).

So I installed my Wiinja Deluxe last night.
Taking the Wii apart is definitely a process. The thing about the deluxe chip is that is has an extra wire that must be soldered to the motherboard, where as the other 5 wires (and most chips only have these 5 wires) are soldered to the dvdrom.
And let me tell you. It's very tediuos to take the wii apart to the motherboard, and even at that point, the 1 wire that I Had to solder to the motherboard was a PITA to actually get soldered, but I eventually did it.
After about 2 hours of taking apart/soldering/putting back together my Wii it was time to test it out, and right away I booted up with a back-up of zelda that I made of my copy.
And sure enough, it loaded up just fine
Now I have to grab some of the homebrew stuff, and apparently there is a DVD player out there (or in the works atleast).

thanks for the update...I was waiting until you got your chip. Sounds like a pain but could be worth it.

I have some questions and concerns regarding the Wii. I now understand how truly popular this console is and I was originally thinking of going the PS3 route however lack of games and an astronomical price of $499.99 had deterred me. I am very interested in buying a Wii but I have a few questions.....
1) How have most people adapted to the controller, I know its different than past traditional controllers and I am a big fan of the PS2 controller.
2) How are the current games out right now compared to the PS3? How does Madden look? Does it play just as well on the Wii? Does the Wii controller make the game any less fun?
3) Is Nintendo going to start coming out with adult(and by adult I mean fighting, FPS, and others) type games?
4) Are there ANY disadvantages or issues with owning a Wii?
Thanks guys!
