We can't get our Wii network up and running.
And I haven't played anything yet. Brian loves Zelda though.
I have been too involved in the Xbox and my Pinata farm.
The Wii is so cute though

I can tell you Brian loves it.
I fiddled with it for a second last night writing something, and the cursor moves with your hand, pretty neat.

I won't mess with it until I can get marketplace up and running to play Sim City.

Whooooa. The Wiimote makes noises. Its extra. in zelda, it makes the sword swinging sound and something laughs at you.

I think people underestimated how well it would sell....

Amazing though, good for nintendo...

I think it will be THE hot item this year

I remember waiting in line for the GameCube and it was NOWHERE near this

I think even Nintendo was guilty of this. I can't give you a precise number of units sold off the top of my head, but I know it was over 445,000 units last I saw.

And it'll CONTINUE to sell into xmas

So far... the controls...are AWSOME... VERY TIGHT

Red Steel doesn't LOOK like its a Wii game though, it handles like it.
Zelda has better graphics... and its basically the same for the Wii/Cube...
so we'll see better stuff down the line, guarentee it!
But it plays really cool!

The Speaker in the Controller... wow...what a COOL little device.
Zelda and Red Steel use it a lot...I assume other games do too...
Scares the crap outta ya sometimes.

Its REALLY comfy not having to have both hands on the same controller in a confined space. The ability to have them separated means you can relax
Takes some getting used to..but the precision is gnarly.
Basically like a mousewand...

I love this system

I am guessing with the Wii, you won't get Xbox hand?

No, you'll just get repetative motion injuries on your right hand from moving it constantly all over the place

2 hours into Zelda, and I haven't even touched anything....
Its a VERY cool game

I just hope they can keep up with the potential and ideas with this system.
A couple developers basically said... in order to take advantage of the motion etc, you need a programmer/designer whos on the ball/smart

So far so good
