We are 7 days from Nintendo Wii launch (on Nov. 19th).

Just wanted to know who's buying the console, which games, etc. Even if Nintendo produced a huge quantity of consoles, the demand seems extremely high. (hopes it won't sold out too fast :) )

Will try to get the console on the first day, what about you guys?


NOTE: This is not a Wii vs. Console war topic. So Xbox and PS fanboys, post somewhere else. Wii only.

not getting a wii they seem kinda crap cos they can play snes games and that when you could just download emulators and the remote thing is weird would be hard to get used to, i would buy a ps3 if they were the same price as a wii lol

I hate video games
nothing is better then a soccer match with friends.

In my opinion Wii is something I could never understand. I think that video games are for people who wanna have fun sit on the sofa or laid on the bed, a more calm activity.

But using wii you have to move, well, if you want to move, why not go out and pratice real stuff?

Because I seriously doubt you can start shooting at people in real life for fun or reproduce a SuperSmash game...

Thats definitly a good idea, maybe not a forum but some page for this would be nice.
We won't see online games until Q1 2007 though... :laugh:

The developers said your Miis could "walk" to other consoles. Which possibly means you could see your friends' Miis in your games while you play.

It's still something to be seen...
