Wii - Arriving on American Shores November 19th - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Nathander · 11-06-2006, 11:26 AM

I just wanted to take the time to tell everyone that the Wii's American release date is the 19th of this month. I'm doing this due to the fact that this is one of the most important things to happen ever. EVER.

I plan to buy one as soon as I've got the scratch. What about the rest of you?

I can't say yes or no as I have no idea what a "Wii" is.

Nintendo's newest console.

I'll make a more detailed post later. For now, I'll just say that I'm hoping to own it by Christmas. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is at the top of my list.

I know and I can't wait until it comes out! I want to buy both the Wii and the PS3, but the problem is that the PS3 is SO DANG EXPENSIVE!! I mean, 500-600 dollars?! Who the heck has that kind of money?!

I'll definitely be buying a Wii first for Zelda and SSBB AND because of the fact that it's so much cheaper than the PS3, but I still want to get both in time.

The Xbox 360 isn't even on my list because I am not really interested in any of the games for it.

there need to be some killer games coming, or I'll be sitting on the sidelines for another generation of consoles.

The haWiian needs more games that use the non-nunchuck controller.
SpiderStation needs a new controller and a new pricetag
XCircle needs to die
Sega needs to get back in the game

Hey, I'm WAY behind you guys.

I just want a PS2. I have a PS1, and they don't make anything for it anymore.

I play my Gameboy Advance SP all the time, though... And even that's a little dated!

I want a PS3, but those things are so expensive.

I dislike the name "Wii". Nintendo should have stuck with "Revolution" (which was it's codename). Wii sounds like something little kids say when they drink too much.

billytheskink · 11-07-2006, 08:31 AM

^ Wii isn't a very good name. Revolution is awful generic, though (like most code names are, ex: Dolphin, Project Reality). Nintendo never should have stopped including their name in the console's title, but I guess they figured a "HyperNintendo" or somesuch wouldn't sell...

Last machine I bought was a Sega Saturn. Everytime I have gotten a new system it has gotten discontinued about a year or less later...

I won't deny that 'Wii' REALLY baffled me at first, but I like it now. It's meant to emphasize the "we" in gaming, as in, attracting both non-gamers and diehards.

With all due respect, people shouldn't be bashing the Wii until they've actually tried it, because those who actually have have given it almost unanimous praise. Nintendo is trying for something completely different, which I appreciate, because the novelty of "uber-awesome and realistic graphics" has long worn off on me.
