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.

oh dear god, whoever authorized Ruzghey made a huge mistake

that being said, I will probably get a Wii at launch or at least by Christmas.

What colors will be out at launch?

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

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.

I'll wait for Nintendo to get their online straight (COD3 without online is like a porn star without fake tits - incomplete), and for a spring price drop to the $199 sweet spot. There's already tons of great games coming out this fall/winter for systems I already own, so I can wait.

Who the fuck would buy a Wii? I just got a Gamecube a week ago.

As for Zelda, the difference between flipping my wrist and pressing a button is completely academic, outside of the fact that I AM A REAL DUDE AND MY WRISTS ARE LOCKED LIKE STEEL PINIONS.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #18 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.

I'm not sold on the Wiimote, and I think it's complete garbage that they barely upgraded the horsepower of the machine, but the Wii is cheap enough that I'll pick one up at launch even if I only play Zelda and my current GC games on it.

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

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.

Not me. Only game that I want at launch is Metal Slug Anthology...MAYBE Excitetruck. Zelda is a Gamecube game.

I'll get it when SMG or SSBB comes out.

I'd LIKE to get a Wii at launch - but no one wants to take preorders or sell it online.

Mondain · « **Reply #42 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

Wii is an aborted mess of a console. I'd rather pick up a second X360 or spend more on the PS3 launch.

Prost · « **Reply #47 on:** October 04, 2006, 11:09:27 PM »

I will be. I like how nintendo games have an incredibly high framerate and don't skip much at all. That will be a lot of fun to see what different kinds of creative ideas they can come up with for that controller.

Why do you get angry when people "troll" Nintendo? You have to admit that it's not a console for everybody. It alienates many gamers because of it's kiddy image and lack of certain games.

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.
