katabing store clerk, nag ask na sa kanila ng stock ng xbox, ps3 and wii, may buyer na naghihintay sa kanila...

I have one, but I have only played Wii Sports, although I do have Zelda. The graphics are not next generation, they are not on par with my 360 or PS3, but the games, because of the controllers, are more fun. I've actually pulled a muscle in my shoulder playing baseball and worked up a sweat playing boxing. I think Nintendo has hit their mark with this console, this console is for everyone. My parents and their friends even enjoyed bowling on the Wii.

I am still waiting for the component cables, hopefully they will arrive on Monday. The Wii can only display 480i or 480p with the component cables. Both my 360 and PS3 both display 1080p on my LCD TV.

Kids + Wii = Goodbye living room!

I still think Wii is a stupid name. They should've just called it the Revolution.

[laklak]

any news on the virtual console offerings? last i heard its not yet up and the selections are crap (no castlevania series)

[bluntman]

The only interesting one is Super Mario 64 because they've enhanced the graphics on the game. No Castlevania just yet.

[empy]

hmmm....i might get one then.

going to wait until the holiday craziness dies down...and a killer app to come out. i bought the xbox for halo and the ps2 for grand theft auto....what will be the big thing for wii....a new metroid prime? pokemon?

[bluntman]

For me, it was Wii Sports and Zelda. Super Mario Galaxy is coming this spring.

For the PS3, it is supposed to (and still is) Killzone 2, MGS 4 and Assasins Creed. I'm just playing Resistance to tie me over until that one is finally released.

For the 360, Call of Duty 2 wasn't bad (I bought it back in May), but I would definitely say that Gears of War is its killer app for 2006...and until Halo 3 comes out.

wii injuries...

If you thought all those TVs getting damaged by errant Wiimotes were bad, take a look at the woman above. Here's how it happened. A guy comes home drunk and sees his girlfriend fighting a Zelda boss. He grabs the controllers to help her out, but when she approached from a 4 o'clock vector, he swung back and gave her an eye-full of Nintendo goodness. Classy.

We're not really sure that there's much more to say about the Wiimote that we (har) haven't said before, other than it can cause damage to anything valuable in your gaming arena, such as your television, window, beer glass, or PDA -- did we miss anything? Well, let's record little Jacob here as the very first Wii-related injury into the record books. According to the account provided on Wii Damage, a new site devoted to all things getting busted due to the faulty Wiimote strap, Jacob was among a trio of kids in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina settling down to a nice, pleasant game of Wii Baseball over Thanksgiving weekend. Jacob's cousin Abby was settling into the batter's box, and as the pitch came down she gave it a Bondsian swing, sending the Wiimote flying straight at her cousin, who was standing nearby -- sustaining a pretty good-lookin' welt to the face. Now if you'll excuse us, we need to go find our high school football helmet so we can get our Wii on safely.

hmm gotta get myself one of those Wii...maybe 2yrs from now :hihihi:

[NazQ]

hahaha! todo black-eye yung babae.. di bale after a few months mag iimprove na yung motor skills ng mga Wii users.

if ever nintendo and konami comes out with a castlevania game, wherein you would use the wiimote as a whip, i would sell everything i own just to get my hands on the wii

Red Steel is a good game to start if you want an action game. You control your sword and gun thru the wiimote and nunchuks.

I played the Wii sports, my nephew has one.

I'm a bit disappointed on the graphics. Akala ko din medyo may paka-reality ang paglalaro. Example, sa baseball you dont have to throw it that hard to pitch 94mph. You can literally just move your wrist and it goes to 94mph. Sa tennis naman, iwasiwas mo lang ang nunchuk at tatamaan mo na ang bola lagi.

The advertisements of Wii in the US is geared toward adults. As an adult, I was easily bored playing it after trying all the Wii sports games (bowling, baseball, golf, boxing, tennis).

Its a very good console for kids who are sedentary or may physical disability sa sports. With Wii console, its the closest to reality that they could play with.

In my opinion, its fun to play with (for an hour) but not worthy to own. Its ideal for kids I believe.

I'm glad I didnt buy one, Id rather borrow my nephew's DS lite :evillaugh

Now, EB Games store offers a 50% off on X360 if I trade my PS2, hmmmm

Wii Sports is one of those titles you pick up and play for an hour, and then put it down. And then in week, you pick it up again, and play it for another hour...it's not like Zelda.

Yes, you can make small movements to achieve the same actions as with a small flick of the wrist, but where's the fun in that?

Wii Sports is a lot of fun with up to 3 other players (tennis and bowling)...but it's not bad for a free game that shows off what the Wii is capable of. Give Red Steel or Madden 07 a try on the Wii.
