I got to playtest the Wii over last weekend. I enjoyed it, although I only got to try out Wii Sports. Has anyone else tried the Wii yet?

want to, but haven't yet
were did you test it out?

Trust me, you don't want to. I've used the Wii's menus and games at a local EB, and it is shit, total shit.

ignore him...

lucky you lappy. so this means you believe it works? get zelda asap, i want to hear your oppinion on it.

Was the motion sensing smooth or bad?

Tried Excite Truck at EB/GS, just the same 'ole same 'ole (refering to the steering wheels)

Another example of you trying to drown out the truth again. You can't do this for your whole life man, so better start acting like a man while you can.

hey, i never got temp banned for being immature, so stop the hypocrisy.

so fury, is excite truck not to your liking then?

the game i want to try is red steel, i heard the sword play rocked, but i want to see for myself

Qlumpa has the Wii.


I don't have the Wii; Qlumpa has it, but he has not yet signed up for the new KL Forums, as Myscrnnm has returned.


It was fairly smooth, although some movements were incorrectly detected as movements that I wanted to do, and when I did use it as a pointer (mouse or something), it was slightly shaky, but that's also because people can't really hold objects without shaking them. The good thing is that the pointer "stuck" to buttons a bit so it wasn't too difficult to use.

sounds good to me.


i've heard mixed reactions from it. it seems like gun play is too slow and hard to aim. a real shame, that title held so much promise. IGN gave it a 6 i think... anyway the swordplay sounds alright, but cod3 seems to be the better choice for a shooter.

Whoever told you that was a fucking idiot. Everyone I know who's played Red Steel has said that the sword fighting feature cannot accurately interpret your movements and feels like a tacked-on feature. One that stands out the most is Electronic Gaming Monthly, which was very disappointed with Red Steel after having high expectations.

well, you took what i said, and changed to try and hurt me, well, it aint easy to do that
all i care about is if i like a game or not, i just take what other people say as PURE opinion

It doesn't matter that I cleaned up the quote, because my response would have been the same either way. Just you looking at thing from one side again.

^^good point. but its always nice to expect what might come that you weren't aware of and didn't want in there. but hey, i have views similar to yours so i respect that.

anyway
lappy, what was your favorite game in wii sports?

I'll try to get/rent one more game next time.

i guess we just found out who he tested it out with

I'm sure you'll get to see it sometime.

stephen colbert used the wii in a good, yet funny sense
click here for it, you also have to click on toys for tot one, then wait for it to load, refrence is near end

Saw that one yesterday, here's a link to a shorter version.

And feel free to ask me any Wii related questions.

lol i saw that. i loved his enthusiasm.

yeah, and now i want to try the wii out even more

lol that guy really got into the game. At my local Game Stop, they had a guitar hero 2 battle and a Wii demonstration, The one guy broke it and owes the workers a lot of money. He dropped it and then stepped on it. But this guy was like 400lbs so obviously it would get damaged or brake.

Come on, stop. I too prefer Sony, but the Wii is fun to play. The PS3 looks great, but the cost is just too much.

you see, here we have someone who can reason. i respect that.

on a side not, gameclaw got a wii yesterday (i'm p***ed), but it sounds like i might get to try it soon. then i'll know for sure.

i'll probably get a wii by next year.

Okay, I got to play Gameclaw's Wii. I put my impressions in my blog, so check it out there.

lol I was watching a show on VH1 yesturday and they had clips of people getting hurt while using the Wii. The one guy busted his hand through a cieling fan and got all cut up. The other problem is that if you don't have the best grip on it, it can just fly out of your hand and maybe brake, but I've heard that they had hand gloves or something like that I'm not sure.

wrist straps, but people are swinging them so crazy a good deal of them are snapping.

to stop it from flying out of your hand, all you have to do is stop playing when your hand starts to get sweaty

There are grip accessories (comes packaged with the SD cards) that you can buy. They keep the Wii-mote in your hand unless you just don't have a hold on it.

you should be able to hold on to it already though. come on, videogames aren't that exciting that they give you sweaty palms, are they?

Holding a chunk of slick plastic for an extended amount of time in a hot room will give you sweaty palms.

you could just wipe of the sweat.

Sweat is greasy. You need something that gets rid of oil and most people aren't willing to walk away from their games to clean it off.

well... fine wear a rubber glove or something.

Or, buy the Wii-mote grip that comes with an SD card. You could also make a more sturdy wrist strap.

rubber gloves are cooler duh

well i don't own any rubber gloves, and i don't know anyone that does in my neighborhood

plus, how weird would it be to go over to your friends house, plop down on the couch to play some games and he goes, "wait, we gotta wear rubber gloves". screway...

yeah, it would be really weird

Since we're on the topic of Wii safety right now, I have some links...

Informative Japanese Wii manual.


Listing of the Wii damage toll so far.

Yet another Link.

...so, have fun and play safe...or something...

But of course, my freind has one and I hung out with him the day after the Wii came out.

who was it? i'm jealous.

I now proclaim that anyone with a Wii is lucky and should sell it to me over ebay for $5.00. lol just kidding.

i think that i saw some at the target near me, but were taken really fast, so they are bein shipped to stores fast, but taken fast at the same time

no kidding. it was lucky my mom found one.

My brothers are trying to get one, but they're always sold out

because its really popular, what would you expect
