Nintendo Wii

[zero]

So what's everyone going to get on release? Wii Sports comes bundled over here, not sure about the other regions. I'm getting Zelda and Red Steel as my main two, and maybe Wii Play if I decide I want it closer to the time.

I still stand by my theory that Red Steel is going to be one of the biggest disappointments in a console's launch, ever.

Anyway, I'll be getting Zelda, without a doubt. Wii Sports is packed in here I'm pretty sure and I'll pick up Wario Ware and Wii Play as well.

I am not so sure about Red Steel sucking...I mean, at IGN they have a preview of Call of Duty 3 for the Wii and how good the game handles with the weird controller. If COD pulls it off, I am hopeful that Red Steel will too.

But now I am very confused since I have become very interested in the 360 thanks to my cousin getting it and making me(Yes...making me..*cough*) play Perfect Dark all afternoon. Oh well...maybe I will just wait until Christmas after the Wii games are out before making a decision. Funny how 24 hours ago I was willing to put my money down on a Wii at lunch.

Red Steel's going to suck because it just doesn't look good. Apparently the AI is so bad it's funny and the game plays more like those light-gun games on a rail ala Time Crisis rather than a FPS.

I just pre-ordered my Wii

hopefully, Ill be able to pick up Wario Ware Smooth Moves, Red Steel and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on release since I didnt think to pre-order any software

[EWRFan]

So I read in gamepro magazine that Nintendo will reveal a final "secret" regarding the Wii shortly before launch. What is your guess? I hope for free Wii points or free Wii Console games for a period of time. Or even just a free Wii Console game with purchase. I dont know what to expect, so what do you think it will be?

[Buford Ripley]

I don't know the secret but I am fond of the idea that some racing games will provide a plastic accessory to hold the two wii-mote parts together to form an impromptu steering wheel.

My guess is the secret is that it'll still suck.

SO WHAT IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE I'M A CYNIC.

Final secret:

"Haha fuckers, you really thought that remote was the controller? Here's the real one."

How do you miss the fucking pre-release topic when it's pinned? Jesus.

[EWRFan]

Come on Benji, easy with the hate.....

Anyway, after thinking for a while, it might end up being the "Buy a $50 Wii Console card and get a free classic controller" deal that is rumored to happen in Japan. Either that or they changed their views on region lock outs. *crosses fingers*

Meh list so far, but I know it will keep growing. I can't wait for games like Super Mario 3, Super Metroid, more of Legend of Zelda, and hopefully Chrono Trigger and Goldeneye 007 with online play. Oh and Super Smash Brothers with Online play. If that happens, my 360 will start to collect dust.
