I (worryingly) had withdrawal syptoms from my Wii today. A whole day at work and all I wanted to do was hit some home runs and blow up some tanks etc.
Never felt like that about games before. I see quite a few articles have already cropped up about possible longevity, for single player gaming...
Yup 29th is right Lee for Probotector, that and Gunstar Heroes will be my other purchases this year...
2006 VC Line-Up

Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)

Taking a day off from the Wii tomorrow (ok, that's the plan, probably not though), my arm aches like crazy.
I stupidly went for a marathon effort of trying to get gold on the Wii Sports Baseball Home Run training game. So far I've got 7 home runs totalling 1050 yards, no gold yet though...
You can play Bowling on one remote, and Golf for that matter. We had 4 player games of both last night and that was before I got my second remote this morning.
Must...not...spend...any...more!
By the way, if anyone is struggling to get accessories try your local Woolworths. I couldn't get stuff from Play or anywhere else online, or in GAME, Gamestation, ePlay etc, but I popped into Woolies and they had every single launch game and all the...
Yep it's been a good week, I took it back to the store and they gave me a brand new one!
Anyhows, as Nintendo kindly email you to tell you how much of your life you've been wasting every day:
Wii Sports: 3:59
Call of Duty 3: 0:47
Sonic the Hedgehog: 0:20
It's incredibly small, look at my pic above, smaller and not much thicker than 2 or 3 DVD cases.
Even the box it comes in is tiny, just over a foot long and 10" wide...
I just had the most entertaining gaming hour of my life (seriously, and this from someone who grew up with Sega ;))
Wii Sports is incredible for a free game, so responsive. Wii Tennis is frighteningly addictive. Packing it up to take it over the missus' place now, shame I couldn't get a...
Last night around 7:15pm, followed you all the way from Trowbridge to Bath, however I was in a new Vectra SRi so you wouldn't have noticed me!
Car was sounding nice anyhow.
Get a D50 quick before they dry up, I think they are actually cheaper than the D40 at the moment.
The D40 has to be used in manual focus mode to use the 50mm f1.8 (the best lens money can buy) as it's AF-S only. That along would be reason enough for me to get a D50.
I have it in writing that they will deliver to me on the 8th, and last night I phoned to confirm as I have booked the day off. Yet apparently now anything said prior to today is redundant, and it all depends on which call you get.
As I have it in writing do I have any grounds for a swift...
I've heard several stories now that at the last minute Argos have had their allocation changed and won't be delivering Wii's to those that were guaranteed a Wii on the 8th when they ordered. Unfortunately for them they were quite vocal about guaranteeing people a delivered Wii on launch day...
This playground banter is getting a little dull now.
Facing facts, those that don't like the Wii won't be converted by words alone (or screenshots/vids for that matter) and those who are really excited about it are hardly going to be talked out of it.
Most importantly there is now some...
Just called Argos and they confirmed delivery for Friday, woo hoo!
Play haven't posted my Nunchuk, Classic Controller and Wii Play yet, hope they do soon!
Whilst not as relevant to the UK market, Madden NFL on the Wii looks nothing like the 360 version (as would be expected), however it is apparently the best version by far due to the control method employed....

So whilst I would never...
Ah right, will give them a call tomorrow.
Wii-Play looks quite reasonable for a fiver, I'm sure I will play it a few times in multiplayer so well worth it.
Did they phone you? I ordered about a month ago and haven't heard anything yet.
As for what I'm getting...
Wii
Wii Play (with remote)
Call of Duty 3
Nunchuk
Classic Controller
2000 Wii Points
Really want Rayman too, might have to put an order in with Play soon.

Lets just hope they actually make a decent game this time. The last efforts have been Pokemon with cars with nothing constructive to do but beat yourself around a lap because the AI was too stupid to actually race.
Sportlines...
Before:
After (still settling):
Hardly noticeable on their own, but put them against a standard Cup and the difference was quite obvious (especially after a week or so), the curve of the arch matched the wheel much better with the Sportlines on and...
I'm liking them, nice to see something a little different on a Vee, even if I do love them standard.
Are they much lighter or noticeably different when driving?
