Wii!

I got one. Sadly no Madden as it ain't out for another fortnight here... So I just got CoD3 instead.

More to come as I play.

You bought CoD3 ... on the Wii?

It looks like total ass. It's CoD, not some remarkably original shooter that will fully take advantage of the Wii's control scheme.

I'm a freaking whore, what can I say. And I sure as hell wasn't getting Cars or that shitty racing game (GTR) and wanted to get something as Madden isn't there.

I hear that CoD3 on Wii is decent except for lack of multiplayer, which is a big lack.

Why not Zelda?

Not really interested in Zelda.

Shit, man, Wii Sports should keep you entertained until fucking football comes out.

Agree. Everytime I've tried to play a Zelda game I've just found it exceedingly uninteresting.

Rayman and Trauma Centre are awesome. Excite Truck is pretty fun.

Rampage and Red Steel are pretty meh.

No Trauma Centre love for us Aussies. ;_;

I object to Aussieland getting the Wii one whole day before Europe!
And all the stores near me are already sold out on preorders.

I'm sure you can deal with the DS version for now. I still can't get past that bloody op where you first use healing touch.

Damn, i´ll have to get up early tomorrow. I so hope that i can get one.

Faram · Post by **Faram** » 2006-12-07 01:12pm

Well I preordered one, but I am at spot 30 and the store only got 10 so....

Ahh well no harm done I will buy one later.

We have NO Trauma Centre in Australia, not even for the DS... Though we could order it in, but fucking BS all the same.

And CoD3 is shit. Controls are very twitchy and the Wii cannot handle what they want it to do leading to a lot of unfortunate glitches.

They never released that here either, and I've been too busy playing Fire Emblem and Pokémon Diamond to import it.

As for Red Steel, I'm finding that it's quite enjoyable. Perhaps it's simply because I'm an FPS novice, and thus don't have pre-learned habits to unlearn, but I'm finding turning and aiming using the wiimote to be very painless. Turning around while standing still is a bit slow, but otherwise, it's more than responsive enough for my needs.

Trauma Centre DS rules. It's a shame Wii is region-locked.

Call me crazy, but Zelda looks like ass and Red Steel is silly. Seriously, both games look significantly worse than the 'screenshots' released earlier. Maybe when Nintendo bothers to release component AV leads it'll look better?

The gameplay in Zelda is pretty good, though. Plus certain aspects of the graphics (like the bosses) are well drawn.

ExciteTruck is pretty freaking awesome (since you steer with the controller by actually turning the controller like a steering wheel).

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2006-12-07 06:26pm

Does Zelda look better in progressive? Because seriously, the terrain textures make my eyes bleed. The game is fine (get this, it's Ocarina of Time 4), and the characters are fine... but the areas look AWFUL.

Suck it down, Wind Waker-haters. Cel-shader smoothness is better than horribly pixellated, stretched, washed-out jaggy 'realistic'.

Sadly no ExiteTruck for us either.

Got mine at the midnight launch on Wednesday. About 80-90 turned up to the store, which only had about 40 Wiis available. I was 22nd in the pre-order line. Ended up getting the Wii, Wii Play, 2 extra Wiimotes, an extra Nunchuck and 2 Classic Controllers. I'd also ordered GT Pro, but was told that it won't be in until Thursday next week.

For all the Americans who can't find nunchucks or remotes, I think we got 'em all. The store I went to literally had dozens upon dozens upon dozens, far more than needed.

Something I find most amusing is that I bought all that for much less than what the PS3 console alone will cost when it finally gets here.

Oh, and I'm not interested in Zelda either.

I know exactly where all the Wiimotes are. They're in the Wii Play boxes, and we'll see them in Jan.

ExciteTruck is coming in January: it at least has a release date.

Apparently so. Component cables are the first priority of my Wii owning life.

Hurm. I'd love to know the reason behind 'shipping component leads a week after launch everywhere'.
