Did YOU get a Wii, though?

I assume you did, considering you are posting when there are only hours left till ithe Wii is officially released.

As for me, I won't expect a Wii till Christmas (or in the worst case scenario, sometime next year), so no WIIGET for me :\ .

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #2 on:** November 18, 2006, 03:00:02 PM »

I have the Wal-Mart ticket to get one in my pocket at this moment. I need to head back to the store around 11:45ish to actually GET the damn thing, though.

Still, figured we needed a thread about this.

A little under 4 hrs left until I pick up the Wii.

We should use this as the thread as to what everybody picked up at launch.

I'm too old to be out and about at midnight; I'll pick mine up at eleven tomorrow morning.

I spent some time explaining to mothers about the Wii and what they'd need for their kids in the line inside Wal-Mart.

Thankfully, they let us wait inside.

decoyman · « **Reply #7 on:** November 18, 2006, 05:18:45 PM »

Dang, if I still lived in Nebraska, I COULD HAVE MY WII RIGHT NOW. I've got a friend in Des Moines who's been calling me and updating the situation as he waits for his

(it's DrewMG, actually)

P.S. - Hate you, Zach. HATE.

This will be my last post for awhile.

I got 3 weeks to wait yet. Grrrrrr.

Wii GET!!!!

I had to wait since 3:00 am to get my hands on this Wii at 12:01.

I got:

Wii
RRR
TP
Wiimote
Nunchuck
Blue Glove

The component cable is coming because Nintendo messed me over on next day. Something about Next day being the NEXT day doesn't register with UPS.

BiLdItUp1 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 18, 2006, 06:21:23 PM »

I just got back from the main launch at the ToysRUs in Times Square. Got extra controller, nunchuck, zelda. Update soon.

BiLdItUp1 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 18, 2006, 06:50:32 PM »

This just in: Wii Sports comes in crappy cardboard sleeve, not full-blown box. Not that I care that much...

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #13 on:** November 18, 2006, 07:03:43 PM »

THDJ is pretty fun, but I know there's so much more to the game since I'm passing by all these grinding rails and shortcuts at all times. Seriously, some of these courses are VERY diverse and have a slew of paths to take.

Red Steel is pretty good so far, with the swordfights being VERY enjoyable. Getting used to the aim takes time, but once you do, you'll prowl the halls like a professional killer. Magnum, FTW!

FYI, only posting this now because a friend and I are swapping off levels in Red Steel.

Also, my Wii is now my GC: I attached 4 wavebird sensors to the top and plugged in the memory cards. The top of the Wii IS a GC.

Someone hid the accessories at Wal-mart, so I could only get Zelda and Excite Truck!

Oh that posting that pic is soooo low. Well all you lucky americans, enjoy your new peices of awesomeness whilst us unfortunates agonize through another 3 or so weeks.

*cries*

Three weeks to gooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO (o). No BIG DAMN TRUCKS, Smash? Pfft, that's no Wii get. That's no Wii get at all!

MilkManX · « **Reply #18 on:** November 18, 2006, 09:48:15 PM »

Got mine also. Damn Wii Sports is sooo fun. Fired up Zelda but I want to wait for my Component Cable to come in before I dive into that.

ThePerm · « **Reply #19 on:** November 18, 2006, 10:01:55 PM »

Lack of 4 player made me shy away from it...for now.

I'll need to try it tomorrow at Gamestop (when I wake up after my 6 AM Wii binge...).

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #21 on:** November 18, 2006, 10:09:27 PM »

I had to drive 20 miles, wait in line at 3:30pm and walked out the 69th person with a Wii in hand. Toys'R'Us had 160 of em.

I had to drive 20 miles because I live in a very small area that only has like 1 Bestbuy, Target, and Walmart all of which were spoken for since yesterday apparently (stupid geeks with no life).

I got:

Zelda
RRR
Red Steel

extra set of controllers
classic controller

Wow, its been a long night. Played a little Wii Sports and Zelda. Zelda is amazing, I can't wait to dive into this game during the holidays. I haven't opened Monkey Ball yet and might return it because of the awesomeness of Zelda. I messed around w/ the Mii channel and checked out the Wii Store. I had a huge smile on my face throughout. This thing is f*ckin' awesome !!!

I'll have to head out tomorrow morning because Gamestop didn't get any extra Wiimotes or Nunchuks. All in all, I am very happy with Nintendo. The revolution has begun !!!

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #23 on:** November 18, 2006, 10:26:55 PM »

Hey Kairon, where is your sensor bar at?

Svevan · « **Reply #24 on:** November 18, 2006, 10:33:13 PM »

I have to go wait in line AGAIN tomorrow morning to get Zelda. I am tracking down a copy if it kills me.
