If only Mario Strikers Charged was launch game. I'll choose ExciteTruck too, the game just looks fun, big jumps, cool locations, Turbo speed, etc. The more i think about the whole concept of Wii as "we" strategy i think Nintendo is gonna really live up to it.

Just look at all the multiplayer driven games that are in the pipeline. BWii, Mario Strikers, potential Mario Kart, Smash Bros Brawl, etc. I think the Wii Generation will be the Multiplayer generation, i know i won't be spending so much time playing single player.

u know if anyone used that as an arguement against you all you would have to say is Wii+Controllers=$430>PS3+Controllers=$750. However i too wish the Wii controllers were cheaper......

Wii + Four Fully Operating Controllers (Including Classic Controller)
$510.00 Estimated.

Xbox 360 + Four Wireless Controllers (Premium Package)
$550.00 Estimated

Playstation 3 + Four Controllers
$650.00 or $750.00

I think the Wii has a much better price point for multiplayer gaming. And you can even drop the price by $80.00 by not getting the classic Controllers.

Now that I'm actually considering a Wii quasi-launch party, someone remind me when WarioWare: Smooth Moves is coming out? Maybe I'll wait for that if it's not much later.

Day one? I think I'd wait until there's a deeper collection of games out for it.

I could easily see a launch party with Wii Tennis, Wii Boxing, Red Steel, Monkey Ball/Rayman, Excite Truck, and Trauma Center.

The more I see RRR, the more I think I want it.

I'm still worried about Red Steel, there hasn't been anything solid that makes me think they got the controls, grahpics, or gameplay down.

I'm not saying graphics are bad but some of the character models make the game look like one of those arcade shooters (Area 51). Granted I haven't played the game myself, there still hasn't been a hands on preview that has not said "controls need a little work". The gameplay, whether swordplay or multiplay hasn't been talked about much. Multiplay was announced recently which makes me assume it is tacked on, which would be sad...

I have high hopes though, which probably will doom this game.

Yeah, this game has gone from must-buy at launch to rent-first. But I still have high hopes.

"Sure, we could go to the midnight premiere of the Lord of the Rings, but why do that when we could just wait for the DVD with all the special features?"

The latest word on the street is that Red Steel's been vastly improved since the last time anybody's seen it. Graphics, controls, etc. At least NintendoWiiFanboy.com, GoNintendo.com, and other places are saying so. Is it more than wishful thinking? I would think that if it is improved, we should see something of it soon - no point not showing off how good it really is, if it is better now.

I just had to BUMP this up...

Response to a possible Wii launch party at my place is abysmal, and the answers that I did receive were not very enthusiastic. (And this is even after showing people the first Wii Experience video with the hot girl!)

There are still doubters. There are still people who don't get it. And apparently they don't even want to make time to give it a try.

What is wrong with them? What should wow the PlayStation fanboys?

couchmonkey · « **Reply #39 on:** November 16, 2006, 07:28:33 AM »

Maybe the issue is focusing on Wii too much? I mean, I'm planning to try and have a party but it's not going to be "EVERYONE MUST CONVERT TO WII AT MY PARTY." (little exagerration there

) I find just getting people together is a huge chore nowdays, my friends are all getting married and becoming domesticated. Blah.

Edit: but my point was, getting people together should be first priority, with Wii as the centrepiece for the get-together? Maybe?

Without really thinking about it I had slipped something similar in the email I sent out...something like "you really have to play it to believe it". Apparently that's not enticing enough, nor is the prospect of a free opportunity to play a Wii with other people for as long as they want. You'd think a Wii party would be good for the fence-sitters. >_<

I mean, geez, I'd go to a PS3 party to try it out 'cause I sure don't think I want to buy my own one anytime soon. That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to play games on someone else's PS3 if they offered an opportunity to do so. I'm not a snob...like they seem to be. >_<

couchmonkey · « **Reply #42 on:** November 16, 2006, 09:09:51 AM »

Ha ha, that's for sure, I'd go play a PS3 if someone was offering me the chance.

JonLeung · « **Reply #43 on:** November 16, 2006, 09:40:26 AM »

But I thought you pre-ordered a PS3, couchmonkey. o_0

Or were you just going to scalp it?

Well, did you promise booze?
