Re: Where can I get a Wii before Jan 4th
I played Red Steel on the Wii and was very disappointed. The wiimote was way too sensitive and made shooting people in the extremely difficult. I found it almost impossible to do just the bloody fish-tank calibration bit at the beginning.The graphics were dire (it was a big screen TV, but even so...)
Was going to get one, but probably won't unless things dramatically improve.

Re: Where can I get a Wii before Jan 4th
I almost bought one yesterday...
My local GAME had one in stock.
Bundle only though.
I really don't want to be forced to pay extra for Monkey Ball & Red Steel.

I'm with you Gav - not that impressed with what little I've seen tbh. Mind you, when you bear in mind the PS2, XBoc and 360 in my little games corner, do I really need another console anyway

Agree. Wii Sports is more of a social thing. Good fun though.
The more serious games will hopefully have more staying power.

Re: Where can I get a Wii before Jan 4th
Yeah, one of the magazines (ONM I think) said that if you had friends round and you wanted to show them how the Wii works as quickly as possible then this would be the game you'd choose.
It's not gonna be something you play for months on end, but it's still good fun whilst we're waiting for the next batch to be released.

That wont change anytime soon. It's a beefy gfx chip on board, but not anywhere near 360 or PS3's gpu power. Its more a party console with the odd 1 or 2 serious title, but if your looking for a serious gamers console then the other 2 are the way to go.

I agree with what the people said above although 'Serious games' makes it sound like the Wii games are 'My first games console' type thing. Zelda is a very good game but the wii is more aimed at socials or at blasts of fun.
Nintendo still make some of the best games around. I would say you should try Zelda to show the wiis more in=depth games and Wii Sports to try the 'fun' and social games.
I too am looking to get a 360 now though, just because they have a wider range of games.

Completely agree, the Wii complements the 360 and PS3 but it doesn't compete with them. This is what Nintendo intended all along, judging by the price they're selling them at. If anything, it really complements the 360, as you can get one of those and a Wii for less than the price of a PS3!
Also, if you're into playing online then you'll be disappointed in the Wii's online capabilities compared to XBox Live, as it's strengths lie in getting people up off the sofa and moving around... playing against people in the same room is different to playing against people online, especially playing against the non-traditional gamers. It'll be interesting to see how the online experience with the Wii does play out in the coming months.

Re: Where can I get a Wii before Jan 4th
im not interested in playing online anymore myself. Ive lost a lot of the buzz I got from gaming online. I need a new buzz and when I finally get hold of a Wii I hopefully will get it. As ive said before the controllers of the xbox and xbox 360 and playstation 2 just puts me off from the start I find them fiddly and inaccurate specially in first person shooters which is my game type of choice. The other point of the Wii is the console is fairly priced . I still say you cant beat a good pc for first person shooters

You're right it is. But if you want one you need to play the game. I did and I got one.
