Now, everyone post theirs too! If you don't know where it is, go to your messages, then to your address book. From there you should be able to find your systems Wii Code. Then we can send messages and, eventually, play online!
I only played it for a few minutes yesterday because I wanted to save it for a time when I could devote at least an hour or so to really get into it. That time has now come and I've put slightly over an hour into it now.
Aside from a few minor complaints about a somewhat noticeable blurriness present in the background [something which will probably be fixed with some composite cables], they look really reall good. It's not "ZOMG better than Gears of War!!11!!" or anything of that sort, so don't even bother placing it besides those kinds of games, but there's a lot of detail in the world and just the way it's made is great.
Sword combat with the Wiimote is awesome, Gamespot is stupid and foolish for trying to say otherwise. There's these trolls guys that come at you and you just put some beat down on them with a few quick slices of the 'Mote. It's incredibly satisfying and doesn't feel nearly as tacked on as some have said.
Initial reaction: This is Zelda at it's finest. Do not miss it for any reason.
Man, Excite Truck is all kinds of awesome. It's got some really good graphics, some insane jumps, huge wrecks, high speeds, crashing through trees, everything you want in an arcade racer. I've already gotten through the first two cups on Excite mode and I cannot get enough of this game!!
The only thing I would dock it for is the multiplayer. It's 2 player max with no online mode, that hurts it in my opinion. Other than that, it's sweet-tastic.
I had previous engagements until about 10 pm. Then I came home and putzed around a bit before deciding to check out the midnight launch at Wal-Mart. I get there about 11 and find that every Wii had been spoken for as of 4 that afternoon.
Disappointed, I left and headed home, when suddenly it hit me:
"I REALLY WANT THIS GODDAMN SYSTEM"
So, I headed home and grabbed an extra layer of clothes, a folding chair, a heavy sleeping bag, and my DS, and set out for Circuit City to wait like the dumbasses I always laugh at. I pull up to find a mere 5 people out front of the store. I get my chair lai out, coccoon myself in my sleeping bag and began the waiting game. Fortunately, the people I was with were great company, we had fun (we tried to lob empty cheeseburger wrappers into the lighted sign, toss Coke bottles onto the roof, and went searching for an opossum we'd spotted). So, around rolls 7 am and the CC employees begin to appear to our fanfare.
We wait about ten more minutes and the guy comes out of the store (I swear he had a halo) and begins handing out the vouchers. The store doesn't open until 10, but now that we had our vouchers, we were free to leave.
So here I am, waiting an excrutiating 2 more hours before I can get my Wii.
I'll keep you posted. Right now I need to warm up.
The Wii Reviews forum is now open for business. If you can pull yourself away from that blasted Wii-mote (or if the batteries die and you need to wiat and recharge them), do yourself and all of us a favor and post a review or two about what you've been playing.
Quote:* Donkey Kong (NES)
* Legend of Zelda (NES)
* Mario Bros. (NES) -- that's not "Super"
* Soccer (NES)
* Pinball (NES)
* Wario's Woods (NES)
* Solomon's Key (NES)
* F-Zero (SNES)
* Sim City (SNES)
* Altered Beast (GEN)
* Sonic (GEN)
* Super Mario 64 (64)
I have some version of all of those except Soccer, Pinball, Wario's Woods, and Solomon's Key, and those aren't exactly system sellers... we will be steadily getting more though, so the list should quickly grow. And even though I own them if the prices were a bit lower I'm sure I'd re-purchase some of the games I own already anyway... :)
