Title: Who's getting a Wii at launch?
Post by: Ruzbeh on October 04, 2006, 02:49:44 PM: I know I am.

With Twilight Princess of course. Red Steel and some other games will come later. But for now Twilight Princess should satisfy my needs perfectly. Being the best game ever and stuff. ;)

It will be truly amazing.

the only color we have seen since e3 05 other than dev kits is white. There is no other wii color that exists right now.

Why does it matter?

I unfortunately live a stone's throw away from NOA and Digipen, so there are some ferocious ninthings in the area. They may still be scarce.

There's already tons of great games coming out this fall/winter for systems I already own, so I can wait.

Post by: ToxicAdam on October 04, 2006, 03:25:26 PM: Anyone that buys a Nintendo product on the frontside of their lifespan is delusional.

Wait a few years for their titles to accumulate and the price to drop. You'll be able to pick up all the "awesome" launch titles for 10 bucks and the system for half price.

Really it's true of any platform, but even moreso for the Nintendo.

were did you get one?

I traded in a bunch of old stuff to Gamestop and have $999.19 in credit that I am saving for a Wii and PS3 :D

As soon as they start preorders I am paying them off in full.

The Nintendo World Store in NYC is taking pre-orders. I think it came out to $379 for the system + Zelda + ExciteTruck + tax.

GayGamer rules!

I'd LIKE to get a Wii at launch - but no one wants to take preorders or sell it online.
Title: Re: Who's getting a Wii at launch?
Post by: Mondain on October 04, 2006, 09:29:01 PM: it's pre-ordered, and some titles like Metal Slug Anthology and Excite Truck sound like they could be fun, but I guess the console will run out of steam fast, and ultimately I'll probably feel more fun while trashing the system and its games online than actually playing them

I have a gamecube for Zelda, nothing interests me on the Wii. Sorry, roms, and over simplified games aren't for me.

Same here, minus the Zelda part. I really don't care about the game either way; whenever (knowing me, I'll get one sooner or later if I don't get one at launch for something that will come along) I get a Wii though, I'll probably get Zelda and then play it for 10 minutes like always. :-\

I just find that right now nothing on the system interests me, I don't care about the gimmicky controller part, and really have no interest in the virtual console at all. If the VC games had online play, like Live Arcade, or if they also brought out actual arcade games, then I might be interested. Without all that, there are very few VC games I could think of that I'd bother buying on the Wii, when I can just download them for free on my PC anyway.

Now, if Nintendo came up with a method to store and play virtual console games on the DS, I'd be all over it.

But also since the system comes out in Japan a few weeks after the U.S., I can sit back and see what everyone else thinks about the system and the launch games before making up my mind.
