Will people be camping out for this? I have no idea how reliable this is - http//wii.clambert.org/ - , but it says my Target is getting 51 Wiis in. I was at Target today and I asked the electronics guy and he said they won't know until probably the day before, and even then they probably won't tell you.

At first I was thinking of going to Target at midnight... Am I wasting my time getting there to early or am I not going to get one because I got there too late? What do you guys think?

preorders are going for $500+ now, so you could definately make some profit.

06-11-2006 18:04:45

only a fool would buy that.

NOA plans to release 4 million console units by the end of 2006.

Compare that to the 900,000 360's released in 2005.

I don't think you will have too much trouble waking up at 10 am and walking into a best buy to buy one, and if you don't you can rest assured they will keep getting more in as the weeks pass.

Compare that to the 400,000 PS3's being released. Those are the real money makers if you can manage to snag one.

BD2006BD

06-11-2006 18:41:01

well it looks like they are going around the $400-500 range right now.. and it will cost $250. I am probably still going to pick up 2 of them at Target to resell on ebay. And if they aren't selling, not a big deal.. I will return them.

If u get tired then just use the normal controller

BD2006BD

17-11-2006 10:38:29

seeing as how these are going for at least $500 on ebay right now, i'm guessing there will be a line and you won't be able to just pick one up Sunday morning. I could be wrong, but that is just my guess. But the price for a controller is kinda high. It is $39.99 for the controller and $19.99 for the nunchuck controller that attaches to that controller... so $60 for a controller. Does anyone know whats included in the Wii box? Is it one regular controller AND the nunchuck attachment or no nunchuck?

also, what looks like the best launch game to get?

justinag06

17-11-2006 10:46:08

zelda, and it comes with wii sports, that should be good enough.

emoney

17-11-2006 12:13:33

you get 1 controller and 1 nunchuck in the box. And the wii sports that justin mentioned. Picking my preorder up sat midnight. )

JPeeper

17-11-2006 12:15:40

My stores are supposed to get more than 60 Wii's per store. For Futureshop they advertised the Wii like crazy, probably because they actually have stock in, while they never once advertised the PS3, because they knew it would sell out before the store opened. Wii's will be easy to get.

[quotedb435340ba]Important News For Amazon.com Video Games Customers

The Nintendo Wii will be available for purchase on Amazon.com on 11/19, Sunday morning (PST). We will be limiting purchases to one per household and we anticipate that we will sell through our inventory very quickly as we've received [bdb435340ba]100 times more Wii email sign-ups than consoles we'll have available for sale[/bdb435340ba] (i.e., for every Nintendo Wii we'll have for sale, over 100 people have signed up to be notified).

We expect to receive periodic shipments of the Wii from Nintendo throughout the holidays and we will post availability updates on the product detail page as well as in the customer discussions on the Nintendo Wii product page

I just called my local WM and they said they weren't allowed to say how many they got / are getting. They said it wouldn't be fair because someone could just go in and buy 3 and others wouldn't have a chance.. lol I don't really know what that means but I asked him if he thought I could just walk in on Sunday at midnight and get one and he said he thinks I would be able to. I am going at 10pm when I get off work, so I hope to get one!

edit I just called another one and they said "I know we have 20 something right now, but I don't know if we are getting anymore." I'll test my luck ).

Excite Truck [8.0/10] didn't get the best of reviews. I'm following what IGN reccomends...because GameSpot is tending to be a Wii-putter-downer.

IGN loved Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess [9.5/10], and Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz [8.4/10]. I'm getting those two games. Plus it comes with Wii Sports, which IGN liked as well, especially the bowling. I love bowling. P

Just because there's no line doesn't mean it's weak. Nintendo decided it's not that important about hardware, graphics, sound, etc., causing consoles to become pricey. Nintendo takes innovation very seriously. The Nintendo Wii is NOT a weak console.

18-11-2006 14:30:59

I believe it's gameplay over graphics. For Madden '07, Wii got higher than PS3 while PS3 pwnt Wii in graphics.

Gameplay>Graphics

And also, no lines at most places due to 1.1M Wiis initially vs. 400k? PS3s.

As of 530PM-no line at my Target. )

Nintendo is not innovative at all. They're ideas of "innovation" are simply gimmicks because they know they can't compete with Sony and Microsoft anymore. Stop thinking Nintendo wants to make a cheap console because they care. They're making massive profit on each Wii, which was originally intended to be <$100. They ported Zelda over to the Wii, gave it shoddy, gimmicky controls, then delayed the GCN version a month in order to sell more Wiis. Believe it or not, Nintendo is the greediest video game company out there. Take a look at Pokemon. They release two version of every single damn game because they know that little kids will bitch until they get both. Nintendo used to be amazing, and I used to be a fanboy, but nowadays, their pathetic gimmicks just don't work on me. I give the Wii about two years before Nintendo pulls another GCN No third (hardly any first) party support, countless gimmicks, and just empty promises, but once again they'll say, "We're not losing, we're making the most profit," just like they did with the GCN. Also, it was not necessary to stick to 7 year old graphics technology. At the sacrifice of that much horsepower, the Wii should not sell for anywhere near $200. The majority of games look marginally better than the GCN (Some worse), and the gimmicky controller serves only for extremely casual gamers. Personally, I think the Wii is going to be a big flop in the eyes of hopeful gamers.

This is just my opinion. If you have one, feel free to retort. Just don't be an ass.

Agreed. The Nintendo Wii has its Pros and Cons just like the PS3 and 360. Some people like the content of their games more than the graphics. The Wii lets you buy Super Nintendo, N64, Gamecube, etc. games so you can play those as well. For people who like to play games maybe once a week or so, this is great because the games are only $5-10, as compared to 360 and PS3 games which are $50-60+.

it is the hardware inside is cheap why do you think they can make alot at one time even the creator of marion said the wii was suppose to cost 100 bux. to me this is being cheap vs quality the ripe off to me is the wii the same hardwar inside the xbox and ps2 for 250 with a new controller.

There was a small line for circuit city around 10 people at most then I went to a Supertarget where supposedly 90 wii were going to be there according to ps3seeker and there were about 20 people there none in tents all in chairs. Then I went to a regular Target pretty close to my house and there were about 15 people there with a few tents. So I'm going to check in about 4 hours to get one (they are handing out tickets at target at 7am they open at 8am)

oh yeah and best buy was terrible there were way too many people there

Pretty much same thing here. I was a little surprised though to see ~20ppl at the SuperTarget near my house. 42deg. outside they were all in chairs with lots of coats and blankets )

Well, shit. After playing Red Steel for a good 10 minutes, I've figured out that the reviews are being generous for giving it a 5.5 rating. The controls are horrible. The storyline at the beginning is just weird and half of it is japanese! When I say the controls are horrible, I mean it. I can withstand most controls for games but you seriously cannot even shoot anyone with the crosshairs because you are constantly looking into a wall or shooting in the air. Even while locking on, I found myself shooting walls right next to me or tables. Maybe because I'm tired I had such a rough time but I'm going to try to take it back. (

On another note though, I give the Wii two thumbs up. The interface is sweet, I'm going to download the browser tomorrow. The Wii Sports package is the shit especially boxing. I thought the tennis was kind of boring but the boxing is really good. You can build up your character and stuff. The baseball was decent but I had trouble hitting the ball. The remote really is cool and you will find yourself saying wow as soon as you boot up your Wii and click English with it. Anyone else get any games besides Red Steel? I guess I'll go pick up Zelda even though I'm really not into that kind of stuff.

I did that, I got to Target at about quarter of 8, and there were 24 people there, for 24 systems. ( (

I thought I still have a chance to score one so I got online but at 830 a guy from Best Buy started giving out tickets. Turns out Target already gave out tickets and ppl already brought theirs or are already inside(target did confirmed they got 120) Oh well

I went there 45 minutes ago and there were about 30 people waiting because I guess they're releasing 27 other then the preorders, and then who knows how many preorders they gave out (I'm thinking 20 or so) so at noon it'll be a massive mess of 50/60 people trying to get a Wii.....

Oh well, I'm going with someone, so we'll probably just chill in the car until the crowd dies down. I know I don't have to pick it up right at noon, but I want to lol

Hope to make between $100 - $150 on the Elmos.

I paid my buddy $700 to wait with me in line, so the PS3's really cost me about $2,000, hopeing one auction with just PS3 will go $1,500 and the one bundled with controller and game will go $2,000.

The Wii bundled with the games I'm hoping will go for $600 - $700.

Hoping to profit about $2,500 or so?

I'm not much of an RPG'er (only real RPG I've played is Star Wars KOTOR - and I'm not that far along in it), but from what I know Zelda isn't really a true RPG. Probably why you like it.

And I just realized that the only Zelda I've played was the original shock Actually, I think I might have played Zelda 2 once, but it was rented from the video store and I had no idea what I was doing so I didn't like it. I'm really looking forward to Wii Zelda though.

I hope Peter sends the free4me Wiis soon....

My friend at the Best Buy geek squad says they'll have more in this week, so I'm probably going to keep the wii if it works today and get another one later in the week. The reason I have two is because my sister wants one for Christmas, and I wanted one.

Yea, it's offered.

I find it funny that a system that stresses innovation and revolution in gaming has one of its biggest draws being the fact that it offers old games. Also, those prices suck.

At last year's E3, Reggie Fils-Aime, President of NOA, talked about how Nintendo stresses originality and innovation and games, but just minutes before he introduced the 12 new Mario games being released that year. lol

Ah, Nintendo. Always good for a laugh.

Holy fuck. I'm the luckiest person alive. My dad, he went to Best Buy today at 8 AM (it opens at 10 AM), because on Sunday, stores aren't open by me. He went to attempt to pick me up a Wii, The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, an extra Wii-Mote, and an extra Wii-Nunchuk. He got there, got a number. His number was 95. People were camping out since last night. Someone had an electric heater with them, my dad told me. The Best Buy manager came out, and said they had 95 - 100 Wiis, which pretty much guaranteed my dad to get one. My dad stood out there for 30 - 45 minutes at Best Buy alone, and froze his ass off. Toys R Us is right next to the Best Buy. This woman was talking to my dad, and said there were people on line at Toys R Us. She said they had them. My dad was hesitant to leave the line, but there were only ten people at Toys R Us. My dad ran over there, and the Toys R Us manager gave him a ticket. The manager told them if he got the ticket, he was guaranteed a Wii. The store opened at 9 AM. My dad ran in to the back, gathering the other games and accessories I wanted. There were two Monkey Ball games left, he snagged one. Then at the corner of his eye, the last Zelda game was taken. He felt bad. Then some woman yelled..."Does anyone need a Zelda game? I have two, and I really don't need two." My dad ran up to her and got it! The extra Wii-Mote and Wii-Nunchuk accessories were gone. Then he went up to the counter, and someone told him he could ask them for the accessories, because they would have stash behind the counter. He did, and they had them. They gave him the Wii. He paid for it. Went out. Put it in his car. And I officially have my Wii!

$438.65 after taxes. P [I payed for it, obviously.]

Wolfe, I'm playing mine on a 50" HDTV panny plasma. Compared to playing Gears for the past 2 weeks, the graphics suck. Compared to the GC, its looks awesome. Some of the cut scenes on Zelda look HD, but most shows its true 480 form.

Thats why I'm weary of getting the Wii. My living room window is wide open to the world and people are always walking by. I feel dorky enough playing Gears of War let alone jumping around swinging a controller.

It moves when I move the wiimote, but it moves all over the place. It makes locking on 4 different things with the boomerang on Zelda quite challenging. Either its a bug, or there is some interference coming from the entertainment center in my mom's living room.

you want to wait for Wario Ware. Aside from zelda it is going to be the most fun game for the wii. It comes out early january I think. It will be a bunch of mini games, and tons of fun I bet.

also there is wii play coming out sometime, it is like wii sports but with different games. The only reason i might buy this is because it comes bundled with a free wiimote/nunchuck I believe.

the next is metroid. Nintendo should have plenty of time to polish this one, and get the controls perfect. The game is made to be played with a wiimote/nunchuck.

and then smash bros.

A GameStop employee told me they'd have 3 Wiis on Black Friday. I was there at 430AM on line, first in line, to be told at 730 (the guy opened the store then) that they had none in stock.

hehehhehe

04-12-2006 13:45:23

I just got one from TRU, they also had PS3s (20G) so people in line were able to get both if they wanted. I would've gotten one too if the ebay margins were higher.

For those of u in the NYC area, ppl on slickdeals confirmed that TRU in Times Square got about 8500 in stock this sunday. There are still probably a good half amount left.

Hey and a great idea that works!

Go to www.alluc.org on your Wii. (formerly known as allfg.org) and you can WATCH TV SHOWS on your Wii! It will let you stream them. I'm watching the simpsons on my big screen now 8).

so how does the scam work. i dont get it? ?

hehehhehe

29-12-2006 22:55:14

No, actually it's just that the seller didn't understand that he could just cancel the auction. He tried to cancel all the bids. That guy is not going to sell his wii for $100.

In the bid retraction scam that I heard of, the seller shill bids to figure out how high someone bid, retracts his bid, then puts in another bid so the real bidder ends up at his max amount. I don't know what happened with the ps3s though.

GCY

30-12-2006 07:49:51

From what I heard, its the buyer who bid with 2 accounts. One account bidding extremely low while another account bidding high? A few seconds before the auction ends, he'll retract his high bid so the account that he bid low on wins. Thats what I been reading, pretty confusing and I still can't figure out if that actually works.

Eventually. Sometime early this year I heard games will be online. And it will be free, unlike Xbox. I know for a fact that Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be able to be played online, which totally pwns everything. D

keith, you have the coolest girlfriend ever.

As for wii code sharing, I don't know exactly what people do with it either, but it would be cool to beat up some fipgers in wii-boxing. Wii-play is coming out next month so you should hold out on buying a second wiimote until then since it'll come bundled.

I'm definatly getting Wario Ware when I get mine. If it is as good as past incarnations(for the GBA, and DS) it will be one of the most fun games on the system.

It is simple, intuative, quick and fun for anyone to pick up and showcases all of the wii's capabilities.

http//www.gamespot.com/wii/puzzle/wariowaresmoothmoves/review.html?sid=6164180

and yeah no online for a while. Nintendo obviously rushed getting the wii out, and didn't have a true online gaming plan laid out yet.

Yeah I'm gonna convince my little brother (who has a Wii) to buy Wario Ware. He just blew the $600 he got from Christmas on a PS3. |

Oh well, it's his money. Now he has a Wii and a PS3. I'm sticking with my 360 though. P
