Wii!

[Mexican Coke]

Cool. I think this may only apply to Japan though. They didn't mention any US prices, and that Virtual Console bundle would be sweet.

I just found this link with pics of the Wii assesories. I expect Nintendo to announce the US prices soon so stay tuned!

[Scott]

sounds cool.whats the link?

[Mexican Coke]

Sorry, here's the link. IGN was being a pain when I was on earlier...

FINALLY! You can start pre-ordering a Wii at an EB or Gamestop!

im gonna preorder one the moment i have the money.im gonna get the console plus twilight princess.and probably a wii point card.though that means il need the classic controller as well

[Mexican Coke]

Good idea, Scott. I just heard the IGN game podcast, and I agree with then that Nintendo will deliver with living up to its promise to provide an ample sum available at launch that it may not be necessary to preorder. I'm not saying I wouldn't or that people don't want Wiis, because I'm planning to get one at launch. I'm not exactly planning to camp out at Best Buy or something, but c'mon. College students need their sleep.... ;D There SHOULD be plenty Wii to go around on Nov. 19. "Should" being the key word there. I'm optimistic.

I also found this awesome link with many pics of a Wiimote used for televisions and not for the Wii or its games, just designed to look like the Wii's remote controller. I'm not sure if they will be available here in the States, but I'd get one.

omg i love one of them!id probably take it to school and pretend id to a wii early

[benxtaron]

I am gonna probably buy mine on opening day. At our EB Games/Gamestop, they split the number of systems they are gonna get down the middle, using half of them for preorders and the other half for walkins. That means only one thing: CAMPOUT!

[supersaltine]

I usualy wait at Meijers from 8pm to midnight to get systems. I guess that's what I'm doin for the Wii as well... if I can get transportation.

I really don't think camping out is necessary, I could alreaday imagine the mounds of Wii's stacked high at any store....ah....I need to find a way to get to any store to get one!

Wow, that's cool! I could see it getting really confusing if you had that and an actual Wii-mote.

Kids in my Algebra class were talking about how they got their moms to line up for them to get a pre-order. Pretty hard-core fans.

it looks pretty sweet...but thats kinda weird dont yout think?
is it just a novelty/teaser thing, rather than an item seriously built to control a tv.
ah, what i mean is...well, like how a football phone is supposed to look cool (though im not sure id buy one)

I dont know if that makes sense

[mbison]

Yeah, it doesn't do alot of stuff that a real remote will do. Kinda like the lightsaber remote that my dad bought a long time ago.
