So, have any of you guys actually got a Wii?

Wii Launch I’m feeling like a total outcast right now. Everyone is talking about their shiny new Wiis, posting amusing videos on YouTube, sharing talk about Twilight Princess, and generally having an excellent time. I, on the other hand, can’t even think about getting a Wii until they launch here on December 8th, and considering it’s not pay day until the 9th I won’t even have a shot at the launch queues.

Since I’m trying very hard to avoid discussions about Twilight Princess and such due to the risk of spoilers, I ask: do any of you guys brave enough to comment have a Wii? And if so, what do you think? Does it knacker you out playing for extended periods? Is the interface nice? Is Twilight Princess really as good as it looks and sounds? Any other thoughts?

I suppose this is probably a daft set of questions to ask as a large portion of you guys are in the UK, but man do I want to get this limbo period over with and start playing some Wii. It’s really killing me having to wait like this.

Yes it is a truly amazing game. The best I have ever played.

You lucky git. :)

Is Hyrule really as big as the earlier rumours implied? Some said it’d take over half an hour to get from one end to the other, but I suspect exaggeration was at play there. What’s the real deal?

Dude, we can start a support group together. I probably won’t have the money to get one for Christmas. Probably in February with my tax check.

I am in fact a failure at playing video games so I haven’t got to Hyrule proper yet, but the game is damn fun and solid. I think Chris Remo summed up the game pretty much perfectly in his Twilight Princess impressions article over at Shack.

Also of note: Valve’s headcrab plushies are back in stock.

I enjoy that your comments system says “html allowed” but A HREFs are in fact fucking stripped out.

Heh, really? That’s bizarre — they even appear properly in the preview. Something to work on when the TECHNOLOGY is inherited by Folded I guess (hee :~).

Anyway, yay! Plushies! Better still be there when the 9th rolls around. I’m also glad Twilight Princess has the Jake seal of approval, and I really hope I can grab it in a week or so. I’ll check out the Shack article soon.

Yes, I got my Wii. I got the second to last one at Toys R Us, which at that point was probably the second to last one in the whole city.

It’s grand.

I’m the only one in the Raptor Hideout with one. Lame idiots. When you get yours, my Wii code is: 7696 5750 9980 8540.

Unfortunately not Random J, despite regularly checking out shops and whatnot for any signs of a new shipment. :(

Hopefully I’ll luck out by the end of the month.

Jeez! There are like ALOT of exaggerations on Zelda, by the way Ryan, that was a lie. It doesn’t take half an hour! Sure Hyrule is big but still, the game editors wouldn’t do something stupid like that! If you walk, it’ll probably take 10-15 minutes. If you use Epona (Link’s horse) it’ll take less than 5. And if you warp, it’ll take 5 seconds! Lol! If you have any questions just ask me! I am a Zelda FREAK! (at least about Twilight Princess!). But it’s been a while since I’ve posted on this wordpress/blog! But that’s not the point… Either way, I still don’t have the Wii. But I’m trying to get one by June 22 ( that’s my B-day). But hopefully my parents will come through and they’ll buy me one (doubtfully)! But I gotta go! I’m going to watch Pirates of the Caribbbean 2 on my laptop! :)

P.S: I;ve noticed I’m typing ALOT! I have no idea why… I guess I just LOVE typing… I don’t know why I said that… Lol! :P
