Nintendo Wii Console

anyone seen the stories of people getting so into playing with their Wii that the controller flies out of their hands and into windows and TV sets breaking/cracking the glass?  Absolutely hyseterical.  People are also complaining numbness and pain/soreness from playing too much hahahah.

I've heard the stories and seen the pictures.  That's why the wrist strap (and some freaking restraint when swinging the controller) are your friends!

As for the numbness and pain....it's like any repetitive motion: Do it for long enough and it's gonna hurt.  Do it for too long, over too long a period of time, and you'll get Repetitive Motion Injury (or carpel tunnel).

 The key is: Don't spend 12 hours a day playing with your wii or you'll get sore (Yes, bad joke completely intended).

the Wii does look like a good physical exercise. Maybe its to turn couch potatoes into more active people.

Give me a break, i hate how people are trying to say this is exercise.  yeah you move around more then you would playing a regular video game, but its not like you're going to the gym.  I guess its better then just sitting on the couch but you're not going to lose weight playing Wii

Thought you'd all like that.

Today the Nintendo Wii was finally released over here in the UK.

And I was finally able to get it along with ?The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess?.
Although there one problem that being that I haven?t gotten anything else for it, considering there was nothing out there that I could find that would interest me, although I can?t be sure cause I haven?t bought anything else for it.

So is there anybody here that already has a Wii that can recommend some other good games for me to get for it other than Zelda?

[Captain P?l]

i dont own one myself (but i sold like 6 Wii's today! gone in 2 minutes!!)


but Red Steel or what it is called looks sick! with all the swords and shooting!

but Red Steel or what it is called looks sick! with all the swords and shooting!

I heard it wasn't that great, all the reviews I read for it, were pretty negative, but I'll try it anyway.

[pilferk]

Red Steel is a great idea with sub par executions.  I've heard some say once you get used to the flaky control scheme it's not as bad, but...I'll pass.

Trauma Center is fun, but then again it's close to "home" froma a professional standpoint so that might be why I like it so much.  It has gotten good reviews.

They Rayman:Rabbits (or whatever it's called) is LOTS of fun, though be forewarned it's essentially a collection of mini-games.

Elebits, once it comes out, looks like it will be  pretty good.  ExciteTruck is good, but not great.

Is there anything you're thinking of specifically?

SSB: Brawl

From the looks of things, yes.

But it won't be out til mid-March...

As i said

I like how :
- they make the Black People dance
- they make the asian girl do zen/spiritual stuff ..

man, nintendo may do amazing games, they're stuck in stereotypes like it's their job .... 

apart from that, this tool opens for amazing game design possibilities ...

Wow, that was the most boring looking game I've ever seen. At least I had Coma going in the background...

Nothing is coming to mind, really.

You'd rather have a fat white man dancing badly and a muslim guy getting some zen action?

Why do you think something gets to be a stereotype anyway? ... why the bitchin?

[-Jack-]

When I saw that I definitely thought it was cool. While I don't always agree with some of the stuff Nintendo is doing, I think this is awesome and has great potential.

Lets please keep this conversation away from stereotypes and instead towards the game.

yes,

i can totally see a SKIING game, and with the two remotes being the Ski poles ...

same thing with any FPS game, you could play standing and the pressure you apply to the board can have impact on the game (dodging bullets, crouching ...)

[stolat]

You mentioned the magic words Whatever!

Dodging bullets, crouching......bring on the WW2 game! or, a Bond!
