Wii have something for you

11:19 PM on 11.10.2006   |   World Famous


I'm going to be showing you videos all week of Zelda and of course, more of the Wii itself. But, here's what I want: I want you, the faithful reader, to tell me what you want to see. Tell me what you are most curious about and I will make a video of it. Either make your suggestions here, or create a forum post about it and I will do my best to address every question.

Ok, Summa is offically a BadAss!!! Thats great that you got hooked up early!! But you know that running low on sleep is like being drunk! So that could possible effect your high scoring ability. I can't wait to see vids of the new Zelda...( wait let me predict the future) Summa doesn't like it and it has all kinda of motion tracking problems...am I right?? lets wait and see!

This is the reason why we all want your job, Summa. No matter how much people sling crap, its all because of jealousy. In other words, you are a lucky son of a bitch.

Is it a firmware disc? I never read anywhere that actually said what it did precisely.

Jelster, I just looked, no firmware disc included. Sorry. I'm literaly about to pass out.

As you asked.

Whats the communication suite like. I know you can send email and messages out but what about incoming?

Online portal working yet?

USB functions keyboards, mice, thumbdrives, hard drives etc

SD cards and media. How does it rack up compared to the reports that the PS3 requires a folder system to recognise different media.

Sunlight test.

I'm out for the moment

Just some vid of the dashboard features would be cool. Seen enough vids of Zelda and other games. And I don't really wanna see a bunch of spoilers for a game I know I will play.

I'd like to see the calibration process for the remote. I've just been wondering how the actual setup would work. Also, show us whether or not ExciteTruck is following through with the good or bad stories.

We really need <br> in here. :)........... You mention the firmware/setup disc a few times, perhaps this was just WiiSports. I'm kinda interested that if this isn't a firmware or software tutorial what its function is.

Well, Aussie here. We are so sad to have to wait until DEc 7th for this AWESOME gaming device. As part of a promotion we have here, me and a mate have reserved our Wii's about a fortnight ago. We found out today that we do not get Pro Series 2 as advertised but we are now getting Pro Series with the free wheel.....What you think of that?? Anyway, still cant wait! Love to chat with others who have got it......

I think Europe is 7th also, its not such a long time although made all the worse by seeing everyone jumping around like monkeys for two weeks. :)

And may I say it is a pity to hear that you have to download an update as soon as you hook up. Some people/writers who have it cant get onto the network......

US gets it Nov. 19th cmart7. Also the PS3 is supposed to have an update to download for launch.

Robert you lucky bastard. Thanks for taking the time to show us some videos. I'd like to see everything you can show us about the interface.

Startup screen and actually setting up the Wii (plugging it in, etc.) vid coming shortly (It's just over 11 minutes long). I'm gonna test online now (I accidendly unplugged the modem plug when I plugged in my Wii for the vid that's coming). I'll do a seperate online one now as well.

I just got doing a round of Wii tennis and Wii boxing with the girlfriend. She loves the Wii so far and is creating her Mii character right now and is giggling as she does it.

I'm eating crow right now. I think we have a hit on our hands boys.

Online doesn't work yet. Video coming shortly.

Also, GF won't let me play the Wii. All she wants to do is sit on the couch and make Miis. At least two more vids coming your way tonight.

What I am actually most interested in knowing is whether the Gamecube Freeloader works on the wii so you can play Japanese imports :). Not sure if you have a Freeloader though, so it might make it difficult, but, you said you'd do the best to answer our questions, so lets see what happens.

Thanks dude, you rock! :)

I'm really interested in trying the Wii on my wife. LOL. She's pretty much anti gaming short of solitare on my Axim. Right now she's kindly acting all stoked about the midnight runs we'll be doing next weekend.

Seems Nintendo have maintained their pull on their traditional audience and look set on securing a whole new league of gamers.

@Cmart7........ Guess the IGN Article is just saying the net channels aren't live yet. Kinda find it funny that they think many "normal" people will be securing a Wii prior to Nov 19th....... Still I suppose the disc could load in some server settings for the region, perhaps they weren't set when the roms were being flashed.

If it's online already, I'd like to see the sales interface and use of any N64 game (anyone know what the games will cost?).. I may get a Wii for that alone.

I haven't even been able to really play yet. GF is hogging it. She's now playing Excite Truck. Oh well, at least it's letting me get these vids to you. I'm definitely gonna play some Zelda before the night is done.

Is your GF a gamer in general or is this thing really a hit with everyone?
