Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

it will be interesting to see how easy or hard it is to crack the secruity on Wii - in my opinion a games console isnt worth buying until u can start to tinker with it, but saying that the wii does look fun if only u could buy one in this country some time this year (unless u pre ordered in 2004)

i have never been interested in nintendo before - a bit childish for me (imo) but they do make some great games.

I think Nintendo have produced enough consoles to avoid the Xbox style delays

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

i had my doubts when pre-orderes were first given..and now pre-order sites all say they cant promise launch day delivery. not a big problem just goes to show how popular it is if the 4million made are snapped up this quickly

I think they are just saying that because of the troubles they had with the xbox. Wii will have a lot more consoles produced than the 360 did.

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

i dont think so - some stores have an idea of how much stock they will be getting of the initial 4 million units - in fact i doubt they know how many europe will get until the release in a few weeks in the US.

xbox 360 is well on its way to selling 10 million units and the ps3 shortage stories have been on the net for some time and nintendo may have a problem as well - while the wii is easier to make and they ahve made loads of them it seems its very popular

personally im waiting to see what amazon.co.uk say and if they can promise launch day (they are one of the few major retailers to not offer pre-order yet simply because they dont know how many they get) i will buy from them - if nto i take my chances in the high street

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

I might keep an eye out for amazon. And then cancel either game or amazon depending which can give me one on release day.

Will try my local high street Game as well....

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

I was toying with the Idea of getting a Wii, untill I read up on the spec & backwards compatibility.

Now, I soooooo want one, with the price at £180 including 5 games, this knocks the PS3 & 360 into a cocked hat.

Retro gaming as well as al the latest games, I can't wait

You only get one game, Wii Sports.

I recommend Zelda is a must get though, really should be considers as part of the cost!

The Virtual Console sounds fun!
Supper Mario 64 will be there from day one!

What about GoldenEye?

No point playing N64 games if there's no GoldenEye.




The Wii looks so damn cool.

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)

if u try ur local game they will probably say that u will have to wait for the second shipment of units - at least thats the case round my part of the world.
i did find a woolies offering pre-orders and they said they didnt have anyone sign up yet so i put my name down first on the list and they said when they get one it will be mine first .

---------- Post added at 09:42 ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 ----------

Nintendo said this:
Quote:
“In Europe Nintendo is maximising all its resources to ensure that there is a good quantity of stock available in Europe at launch and a regular supply of Wii consoles coming into the market from launch through 2007.”
“However due to the phenomenal pace of pre-orders over recent weeks, it is likely that demand will outstrip supply at launch.”
