Seems quite likely, although for me the simplicity of the Wii sports tennis is what makes it fun to play. I don't really want to have to leanr how to play a sliced backhand with top spin

 

[Calaen]

but... but... that would rock

 

[Trem]

How much?

You Fucking Beauty!!!

Phoned Asda on a whim at 11:55am. Was told they had just got the shipment in. Drove down at the speed of light, got in line and got the last of 15 units that arrived!!!

Makes up for my first one being broken

 

[Calaen]

phoned mine at 12:30 nothing had arrived yet, phoned again 20 minutes ago the delivery had been and they received 5 which went immediately!!!!! I am now taking the day off tomorrow to camp a supermarket. F**k me silly.

 

[Earl]

Ah I was right then but have no car to drive there so couldnt get 1 aww.

 

[Tilda]

Thing is, you gotta be queuing before the shipment comes.
I rang, 3 local asdas were getting in 5 each. 1 alreday had a queue larger than 5, one was doing tickets and had 3 in the queue, the 3rd had nobody in the queue.
I went there at 10:30 and was first in the queue. Shipment was due to arrive between 12 and 4, it arrived at 3:30, however there were only 2 wii's. Thankfully I got one, however I felt so sorry for the folks behind me who waited on the assurance that they were getting 5 and wasted most of their day.

wii's rock The Tank game is so fun

 

[Calaen]

Woo FUCKING HOO!!!!!!

At Last

 

[Tilda]

Nice Cal, congrats!

I came home today, already had my parents playing tennis and golf.
Then we had dinner and after that my mum nearly wet herself playing cow racing. Her and my dad were racing and were taking it in turns to jump up and down on the start like laughing like kids.
Its going to be a hit.

 

[Calaen]

Cow racing wtf game is that

 

[Samaroon|Terracotta]

Am i the only one here who wants nothing at all to do with a Wii? :|

 

[Calaen]

No Throd hates them

 

[Ch3tan]

Throd hates anything he doesn't understand, mainly things that are after his time. Mirrors, sliced bread, electric lights.

 

[Tilda]

lol chet

Cal, on wii play, theres a cow racing game, its quite simple, but the noices are just comedy. The tank game on that is awesome too.
Wii sports and play are the only games I have atm cause of christmas.

Yeah stuck play on this morning and found the Cow game its fucking dumb but hilarious. The tank game is rox aswell. I also like Pool!!!!!!!

Played Zelda for a couple of hours, Rayman for about 20 minutes (which is hilarious aswell) not touched Red Steel or NFSC.

 

[PLightstar]

Picked up Rayman ravin Rabbits on Sat, that game is insane, its full of mini games using different ways to use the wii-mote and its just insane but really fun.

Still can not find any wii-motes or nunchuks anywhere so glad i got WiiPlay that came with a controller.

 

[Aada]

I keep getting tempted by Red Steel but when i read the user reviews the game is shocking.

 

[Starman]

Aye red steel does seem rather rushed to meet release. Shame really but oh well

 

[Tilda]

From what I've read people dislike it due to the control system. However then other people are saying that it just takes 20-30 mins to get used to. *shrug* I'll either get it or borrow it, I dont see how a control system that takes getting used to, is a problem.

And yes Cal, the tank one rocks, furthest I've got is lvl 12, then you get the gay tanks with fast missiles who bounce them off two walls at you.

Two small bits of Wii News today -

Today, I finally understand WiiConnect24's greatness. Waking up to see the blue neon light of joy pulsating at me in that alluring, sexual manner and then, to my surprise, switching on my console to find a new message from Nintendo. Slowly opening it with intrigue, i'm delightfully informed that the Wii's Forecast Channel has now launched and that I can update straight away. This is what WiiConnect24 is all about - waking up to find something new.

So, in brief - update your console today, internet users, and delve into the world of atmospheric phenomenon, hemispheres and...stuff. Or you could just check the weather for Bognor Regis. Its your call.

Free Opera Internet Browser Connects The World To Wii

Starting Dec. 22, Trial Version Lets Users Surf from the Comfort of their Couches

Dec. 19, 2006 – Nintendo’s wildly popular Wii™ home video game system not only revolutionizes how people play games, but it also entices new people into the world of gaming. On Dec. 22, Nintendo and Opera Software bring the Internet to the living room couch with a free trial version of the Opera Web browser. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can download a free trial Opera browser to activate the Internet Channel of the Wii Menu and begin surfing the Web.

“In addition to providing innovative and exciting new ways to play, Wii also offers further services and entertainment for all the family. This newest Wii Menu Channel is just the latest example of how we are doing this” says Nintendo of Europe Marketing Director, Laurent Fischer. “Wii is the perfect console for everyone to enjoy and this is being reflected in the phenomenal sales across Europe. ”

“Our software brings the power and reach of the Internet to the hottest video game system available,” says Scott Hedrick, Executive Vice President, Devices at Opera Software. “Wii’s unique interface adds a new dimension to our browser, making it a useful tool that the whole family will enjoy operating with ease.”

The final version of the Opera browser will be available at the end of March 2007, and will be free for all Wii owners to download through the end of June. After June 2007, the browser will be available for download in the Wii Shop Channel for 500 Wii Points.

The Internet Channel provides an optimal Web browsing experience on people’s home television. The Adobe Flash-enabled trial version of the Opera browser puts the Internet right onto owners’ television screens and lets them browse with ease, enabling them to check sports scores, plot maps or visit their favorite Web sites. Multiple family members can gather around the television to plan a holiday or make online purchases. The pointing abilities of the Wii Remote allow users to click on links they want to see or to zoom into any part of the screen through the motion of the controller. In addition, the Wii Remote can be used with an on-screen keyboard to make text entry as easy as point and click.

The Forecast Channel, provided by Weathernews which allows users to check out weather information for anywhere in the world using a 3-D globe, is available from 19th December.

The Internet Channel joins the four channels which have been available since launch: Disc Channel, Photo Channel, Mii™ Channel and Wii Shop Channel as well as the newly available Forecast Channel. The Internet Channel, Forecast Channel and Wii Shop Channel are available at no charge, though they require Wii owners to have a high-speed Internet connection.

BooHoo I can't find a damn Nunchuk anywhere, I've been in 2 Games, Gamestation, HMV, Virgin Megastore & Woolworths and nowhere has them round my way - on the plus side I did find a pre-owned copy of Resident Evil 4 in Gamestation.

 

[Ch3tan]

I have the nunchuk but no remote to go with it. We have had 6 wii consoles in this week, but no bloody accessories since launch day :/

 

[elvaanknight]

I got my Wii on luanch and have no regrets so far!

 

[Aada]

Game and Gamestation round Nottingham are full of them.

 

[Noc0de]

Well can't get the remotes for love nor money in Manchester.

Went out at lunch yesterday and hit 2 HMV's, Virgin, 2 Games & a GameStation and none have the remotes. The HMV's have the nunchuks but thats about it.

 

[Ono]

Wii is great fun. The non-games playing members of the family had a right laugh and loved it.

I think 360 will win the console wars this time round though. PS3 is just not going to shift.
