New Title for Wii: SqWiish

Why pay $250 for a gym membership, when you can play at home for $50?

They can come play with my Wii anytime.

But is it worth a darn!?

Right. Because kids these days have been totally unsuccessful in finding ways to stop getting exercise.

I think the reality is that instead of kids sitting around on couches getting carpal tunnel they might get up every once and a while and break a sweat. There's actually been studies out there involving getting kids to exercise more by playing video games (DDR) that have been successful.

Going out side and getting exercise is good, and the social aspects of outdoor play are critical and shouldn't be ignored. But getting exercise inside playing a video game can be a good thing too.

I'll skip outside i'll take 2 Wii's pls!

its not the kids, its the parents. fat parents 9 out of 10 == fat kids.

Good call, I agree.

FPS will be cool, but there are going to be a lot of tired arms out there. I wonder how long it will be before they design a moving brace to hold your arm up so you can play for more then 15 minutes without arm pain.

IMO one of the best things about video games is you don't have to move.

Revolutionary will be when you can get a system that read brainwaves and then controllers will be obsolete.. the wii controller is a modified light gun

I wish that EBGames had a better game than Excite Truck to show off the Wii power.

I've played it a few times now and think it's horribly boring and the controller isn't all that interesting. They should have at least had Twilight Princess or Wii Sports. Then I'd be more excited.

Wii has no power it just has innovation

That's not what I meant. I meant the coolness of the remote, the interestingness, the willingness to go back and use it as a viable control scheme.

So far, with the one game I've played on it, all the buzz I had has gone out the door, and I'm not interested in the system at all. I am still interested in Zelda, however. I'll just have to hope one of my friends picks up the system so I can play a better game than Excite Truck.

I find myself hoarding a bunch of cheap SD cards for the Wii lately

My only concern is if I can get a component cable ... gamestop didn't have that sku on preorder list, and it'll suck bad if I'm stuck playing Zelda on composite

You said it, I had to see it for myself...




WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Motion blur on the controller and everything - excellent!

Its all about downloads man :P

Slow. Clap.

what game was on the commercial for the wii that had shooting and swordfighting?

Im thinking the new Marvel allience game?

No. That was probably red steel.

I'm thinking more and more that I may get a Wii, too. I've got the 360 and a PC...but the Wii is something completely different, and I'm thinking even my gf could get into some of the Wii games.

my fiance loves to play video games, but often opts out of playing 2player with me because of the fact that i'm so much better. the new control will take some getting used to, so i think it would be great to get for us so that we can play games together.

<----my fiance used to school me at tekken on ps2...i subsequently threw away tekken.

All WHY threads must have this:


wee WEE WEE WEE WEE WEEEEEEE! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
