Anyone planning on buying the Wii?

[TheSSNintendo]

I sure am. Probably will pre-order it as well. And lately, I heard of a rumor of the Wii being possibly $230.

It's still a great price, considering how awesome the games sound, and plus, you can DOWNLOAD old games! Heck, I'd buy the system just for that feature alone. And, for the games, they're making a much easier to use controller! How can you go wrong?

[TheSSNintendo]

There's also going to be Virtual Console exclusive games, which means developers might make new 8 and 16-bit games for it. Or something like that.. And while I would like to download some Genesis games, there's going to be a PS2 game that has 30-some Genesis games, including Phantasy Star IV.

[Doc]

Bah, that doesn't matter...NES GAMES!!!

[TheSSNintendo]

And that means I'll finally have my own Earthbound, without having to deal with overpaying numbnuts on Ebay.

LOL, that has become SUCH a problem for that and Chrono Trigger...

[TheSSNintendo]

Yeah. People list the game as rare, yet one time I saw at least 30 auctions for the SNES version.. And I know for sure that somebody was dumb enough to plop down $380(!) for a complete copy w/everything.

I sure as hell am going to try to get a Wii on launch, along with a copy of Zelda TP.  Unless I have something important (class, work) conflicting with the Wii launch date, I am going to wait in line at Wal-Mart for around 12 hours.  Myself, brother, and friend have this planned and another kid may join in as well.  I waited in line for hours duing the X360 launch and it was actually a fun experience so I know what I'm getting into.

I am also going to try to reserve another Wii and resell it immediately because I'm such a stingy bastard.

[Doc]

Haha, I was going to try to, but I heard that it's going to be jam packed, so I'm going to wait until Christmas or something...

I'm hoping for some Super Smash Bros. fun myself.

[TheSSNintendo]

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is what I'm all about.

Yeah, that looks nice...I'm also interested in Super Mario Galaxy.

I'll admit the Revolutions new name wii is a little weard,but Nintendo has always been the weard Guy on the block.Wii as in we all well have 1 if you ask me with PS3 at the $600 mark for there cheepest package I trully think that this is going to be NINTENDO'S generation putting them back at the top of the mountain were they were in the NES/FAMICOM days #1.A revolution in gaming is O so true they revolutionised video gaming back 20 some years ago with the + D pad & a&b buttons.Since that time all these other game companys have done nothing but tweek that system buy adding bits of grafix,more buttons and a higher $ tag.


Mark these words folks.As I creep up on 32 yrs of age I've seen them come and go.Just when you think your to old and theres to many buttons Nintendo changes the whole game again,reinventing it's whole core for the 2nd time.Future systems and generation 6 developers will all copy the Wii's motion controller and technalogy and beat them out in sales at that time.But for now gen 5 2006 let it be known that Wii shall inheart the earth changing the way we play for ever.

[Doc]

Well said, my thoughts exactly.
