I don't think a Wii review will be up until 12 AM on the 19th. Isn't that how they handled the first DS review? As far as them having a Wii, I'm pretty sure they posted pictures of a debug until a few weeks ago, but not a retail Wii.

I saw it at N-philes, I think. Not too keen on the music they used for it.

At 2 minutes, that was either an extended cut of the commercial, or Nintendo will be paying some hefty fees to the networks for taking up the space of 4 spots. It's not bad. It's certainly different. The music is fitting considering the "stars" of the this ad. It's an Asian-American fusion. Perhaps this is a new angle they are trying to market the Wii as? At least it shows the Wii in action with actual in-game footage, plus I think it conveys the true meaning of what "Wii" is supposed to mean. It's a million times better than the creepy PS3 doll baby.

That was the debug unit (with the green faceplate).

I have to say that after seeing that I understand the bowing i's. That would be cool if Nintendo actually did that.
Personally I think that is meant to go in front of a Movie more then on TV.

That must be the name of the Wii.
I'm jealous you guys are getting it. Though I'm glad because that means you can have reviews up.

Monkey Ball looks awesome... my list of wanted lauch games continue to increase.
No Amaray case for Wii Sports though? Bah...
EDIT: These guys really didn't know that you couldn't control the players in Wii Tennis until now? That you could only swing the racket? ...wow...

-Monkey Ball looks like amazing multiplayer fun
-I had Excite Truck as my secondary launch purchase, but I'm bumping that down to a rental
-Wii Sports looks MUCH more fun than I anticipated; golf looks especially great
-Zelda is Zelda
-Must buy Charlie's Angels for GC before I die
-Either the Gamespot editors are good actors, or are the most uninformed professionals ever concerning anything Wii related
-Gotta make sure I keep quality batteries on hand for the remotes if they're gonna crap out that easily

I just thought they'd be a bit more well informed. *shrug*
