OT-Nintendo Wii Feedback

Are they available yet? Are there decent games available? Has the initial entertainment factor worn off?

got it for Fathers Day. Very Cool and the kids love it. Price should be around $250 with games around $50. The games included with the machine are great especially bowling. My kids love the Big Brain and Mario Party 8. I bought Tiger Woods 08. Haven't played it much but looks cool. Tough to get the swing down, but still neat.

Ninetendo was floored at the response and the other makers were suprised as well. Many of the EA sports games are currently under modifications now to make theirs compatible with the WII. They too thought it would flop. They have yoga and boxing etc etc. I actually tried the boxing and was in a full sweat by end of round 1 (ok not in the best shape). I love it for the kids as it makes the kids get off their ass to play.

I highly recommend the WII and the games yet to come are really going to be cool. Tough to buy because of a backlog. Go to Circuit City get a voucher and it will be in your house soon. Post again once you get it. :thumbsup:

It's awesome and I actually clowned it before it came out! It doesn't matter if it's you, you and the guys or the family. Everyone will enjoy it!

It is great. It will only get better as more games are designed specifically for the unique controller system.

I fully expect next year's Tiger Woods Golf to be 10x better than this year's (which is still fun). Cant wait to see what they do with an MLB baseball game.

FYI: I bought mine as a package with like 5 games at WalMart online. I got the package, then returned the 4 of the 5 games to the store, then bought the ones I wanted. Don't be scared off by the package pricing, you can return the shit you dont want.

I bowled a 268.

Anybody beat that?

It took me a month.

Great feedback. Thanks!

I will go searching this weekend and post after I play it.

259 is my best. i was on fire so you must have really been strokin it. ha.
the spare shooting is much like real bowling imo but seems the first ball is sometimes inconsistent. i'm a pro at bowling but if i have been drinking heavily ill wake up in the morning and find out my pro status is gone. im horrible hammered.

love the wii get you and your buddies over several beers and wii go good together.

anyone ever do the training where you do homerun derby or try to knock down 91 pins at a time? good shit.

warning: wear shoes or no socks when doing homerun derby i had just socks on once it hurt hitting the tile floor in my house.

Hilarious about the shoes...My high was 247 my 6yr old daughter..251 what the f?
