Title: Wii Rollcall! You getting one, list what you're getting!
Post by: Don Seer on October 17, 2006, 04:05:33 AM
ok.. so here's a post for us wii-people to collect and discuss what we're getting!

Wii - pre-ordered from gamestation, i'm #15 on the list. argos is launching a "guaranteed" thing soon.. might do both (and skip argos if gamestation has mine.. and theres no penalty)

extras..

Zelda
Red Steel
Wii Play (for the wii-mote and few more games..)
nunchuck (since it doesnt come with wii play)
Ethernet adapter (god i hope they have these, my shit is wired in, if not i'll use my sisters wireless net connection)

i've put the tony hawks game on my xmas list... anything else will get added here based on feedback from the US


i've invited people from work etc over to play on the friday to try and get them hooked  ;D

Went into a local Gamestation last weekend to see about the pre-order, but the guy was being a bit of twat and wouldn't even tell me where in the queue for that store I would be if I pre-ordered now. I know he couldn't confirm to me whether or not I would definitely get one at launch but at least if I know where I am in the list I can see if it's at all realistic. If I can find one to pre-order somewhere I'll probably just get the standard Wii sports package, Wii Play, another nunchuck and probably Red Steel.

I bought F355 Challenge for the Dreamcast while I was there and he was muttering away "yeah challenge impossible", I so felt like saying "yeah if you're shit at racing games", but I just about managed to hold back.

you download them from the console (need internet connection of course) each game will cost between 5-10 bucks i think?

I went to Target today to get the new Hulk Hogan DVD set, and the new Rob Zombie greatest hits cd.  Anyways, while I was there, I noticed that the Wii has officially invaded Target.  They had a display case decked out with the "wii" logo at the top all official like, and cardboard displays filling the entire display with pictures of people playing the Wii, and it said "coming november".  No ps3 signs or anything though, that was strange.

Yes, I'm getting one, but I've always been a little leery of the pre-order thing.  I'll just go out first day and try my chances, I think I'll be alright.  I'll probably pick up Zelda and maybe Red Steel.

Went to Toys R Us today and saw a few people camped out in front,m I guess waiting in line for PS3 and/or Wii shit.  Saw a couple Wii boxes on display on a shelf but no tags or nothin.  Just 4 boxes.  Weird.  I'm skeptical of getting one just yet. I don't have much time to play as it is... so it has got to definitely be worth my while.

The toys r us I went to said they were pre-selling 5 60 gig ps3's, 1 20 gig ps3, and Nintendo was preselling 15 wii's.  So it looks like they'll be about twice as many wii's to find.
