UN Spacy Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 So you're saying the Wii has no ADULT games? Rockstart just announced they're releasing Manhunt 2 for Nintendo's latest system. http://kotaku.com/gaming/manhunt/manhunt-2...-psp-234409.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I saw about 10 Wii at Best Buy today. Are they still rare? I can't find one to save my life in central Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstart just announced they're releasing Manhunt 2 for Nintendo's latest system. http://kotaku.com/gaming/manhunt/manhunt-2...-psp-234409.php Manhunt is a big "No thank you" but if it means there could be a GTA on Wii then I'm pleased. Since this is just a ageneral Wii throwdown thread, whose getting Sonic and the Secret Rings? I was as sceptical as anyone else when yet another new generation Sonic game was announced but this one actually looks very, very appealing.

bandit29 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I can't find one to save my life in central Ohio. I've seen the Wii once at Target. There were about 10-12 units. About half of them were gone by the time I left the store. Prepare to rock on your Wii and DS Guitar Hero for the Wii & DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Leader Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 I've seen the Wii once at Target. There were about 10-12 units. About half of them were gone by the time I left the store. Almost 3 months after launch, I have yet to see a Wii on display at a store that I can physically pick up and go buy. When I got my Premium 360 back in November 2005, I would not see another Premium 360 on a store shelf until well into the spring of 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN Spacy Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 In a press release from Nintendo, comes the news that the Wii version of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has just marked one million sales. Note that we are talking units sold, games in the hands of gamers, not units shipped, as some companies like to wave around like it means something. According to the release, Twilight Princess has now garnered the coveted position of "the fastest-selling launch title for any new video game system since Super Mario 64 for Nintendo 64 some 10 years ago." pretty impressive considering this isn't even including the Gamecube version sales. Just goes to show you what the power of a really strong 21 year old franchise can do. Go team Zelda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwinges Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 So someone at a store finally let me in why they horde the Wii's until sundays. I was told that Nintendo has a deal with most retailers that on weeks where Nintendo buys an add in their Sunday ad the store chain must hold the wii's until that sunday morning. So that's why Target didn't sell theirs until today. I picked two up for my in-laws. Anyway for those still trying to find them try best buy tomarrow. Nintendo didn't buy an add and the best buy people said they will sell them monday. At least here in Minnesota. It's kind of funny but I've now purchased 7 wii's for myself and others and have waited a whopping 15 minutes in line total for them, never buying more than 1 per time. BTW, I finally got to play the wario game...fun but I must say its onlly a rental since we finished everything in the game in 2 hours. Fun for parties but the trading off of the wii-mote gets a little sickening. For the life of us we could get a 2nd wii-mote to work on that game.

Hikuro Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Funny how it's still sort of hard to get a Wii in many areas, and I find PS3's in piles in any big retail store like Target or Bestbuys....it makes me laugh how SONY goes on saying "We're selling 100,000 units per week!" and "The Wii is just a fad, ppl will buy it on impulse then they'll be tired of it" Well, 2 months down the road, I'm still playing mine. I got 12 free rentals from GC cause I bought a new PS2, and I spent that getting DBZ for the Wii, the controls are creative I must say, but the game is difficult for me cause I don't play DBZ games that often. I need to really figure out how this game really works so I can enjoy it for what it is. I also got RedSteel coming in from Gamefly, tell ya, it's been a real benefit having that for my rentals.

ARKARY Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I should look into Gamefly, as there are quite a few games that I'd never want to buy but still want to try out anyway. Speaking of Red Steel, I got that with Zelda on launch day, and I definitely have to say that the best way to sum it up in two words is "launch title." It's a mildly interesting concept that, while better than the "total crap" I've heard elsewhere, has quite a number of apparent flaws that make it obvious that the controller's design was still new to the developers and they had to rush to get it out by launch. I've encountered a few bugs, as well as clipping issues that have enabled me to escape into the inky void outside the game's levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiriK Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 i want to pick up Wii Play.... but i heard Gamestop sold out of their preorders already.... and the Wii-Mote will only come with the pre-ordered ones.... but i'm not sure if that's true....

I picked up 7 copies of Wii play today. Went to target and got 4 copies when it opened this morning (1 for me and 3 for relatives)...then decided to try best buy since I could get reward points and they had 40 coming in. So I bought 3 there (1 for me and 2 for relatives, My bro-in-law showed up at the same time so I didn't pick him one up since he bought it himslef). Then I find out that my other brother-in-law lucked out and got one last night when he bought a new TV. Now I have 5 extra copies of Wii-play. So anybody desperate for a copy? Either that or I'm taking the target one's back and putting the 2 from best buy on evil bay. I'm betting in a week they be going for a nice chunk of change. If your interested, pm me, I'm not looking to make a profit but will need money for shipping and a couple of bucks for my time. BTW the wii play games are pretty fun. I especially like the tank battle game and the shooting game. My wife really likes the find the mii game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiriK Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 i got a copy of Wii Play from Best Buy this morning.... as i got there..... 5 people were already waiting and asking for it.... there was a fresh shipment that just came in from UPS that had the games in it... they popped open the cases in front of us but limited only 1 per customer.... sooo YAY!!! i'm happy i got my last and final Wii-mote... plus i stopped by a local target and they had a fresh supply of Nunchucks so i picked one up to really complete my set of controllers... so now i have 4 wii motes, 4 chucks, and 2 classic controllers... does anyone know of any reason to pick up any more than 2 classic controllers????

The only reason I can think of is if you're a Mario cart 64 addict. I still need to find another nunchuk and probably one more classic controller. BYW those sleeves for the wii-mote are pretty cool. I bought 2 when they were on sale for $4.99 at circuit city. I doctored mine a bit so its easier for us folks with fat fingers. But they are a total pain in the ass when you take your wii-mote to play on someone else's wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoneWolf Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Sounds like Nintendo's servers are getting hammered. Either that or the software on their servers isn't stable. Considering this is Nintendo's first serious venture into the online world, I can't say that I'm surprised. Hopefully they can take care of it in time.
