Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: April 28 2008, 10:06 We've had ours since Xmas 07 (one of those wait in a queue from 4:00 in the morning affairs to get the damn thing! ). Gets fairly regular play - especially tennis in Wii Sports which is still fun. Got Wii Fit last Friday and been having great fun on that over the weekend. Slalom skiing a particular fave. So, any other Wii owners here at tb.net? Some of you must surely have one (I don't imagine many of you as GTAIV sorts but I could be wrong). Whats your favourite game? If there are enough of you here a friend code swap could be fun once we finally get Mario Kart ('twas sold out when I tried to get it today). Posting this in Meet&Greet as I can't think of much of a link to Mike here except to ponder if he has one and to think which MO tracks I could use as backing for Excite truck! I also remember thinking and posting a while back that MusicVR could make a good Wii port (WiiWare even! ), sort of like Endless Ocean but with even better music Happy Wii-ing... -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: April 28 2008, 16:18 I don't own a Wii, but I've played "Cooking Mama" on one. I don't really recommend the game, as the remote motion control isn't exact, which can cause frustration when performing the chopping, grating, stirring, etc. IGN only rated it 5.8. Still, it's fun with cute graphics, and for a foodie like me it's irresistible. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

I've never really liked video games and seldom play them, however PES is great. How else could Finland beat Brazil 10 - 0.   Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: April 29 2008, 22:16 Is Guitar Hero wii? I am feeling sooooo out of touch! I vote for one of the Amarok riffs. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top

Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: April 30 2008, 02:51 My youngest son Jack is getting a wii for his 7th birthday tomorrow.Normally we would`nt spend anywhere near that amount on a birthday present.But we were over at a friends house a few weeks ago where he got a chance to have a go on one and he absolutely loved it.We`ve told him any money he gets in his cards will have to go towards it.Which he seems to be completely fine with really as he`s that excited about getting one.Besides which, anything else he could possibly recieve would pale into insignificance anyway. He`s a bit of a demon on the old ten pin bowling,and completely wiped the floor with his brother who is five years older than him.He`s not too shabby on the boxing either,and he throws a pretty mean curveball on the baseball already.I might plug it in myself later today just to make sure it`s working properly of course..   Back to top

I prefer bowling or tennis, where one doesn't have to exert so much energy. Or maybe I was just playing it wrong? -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

I prefer bowling or tennis, where one doesn't have to exert so much energy. Or maybe I was just playing it wrong? Yeah the boxing wears me out as well,but it`s the only one I`m really any good at.Must be something to do with my whole southpaw style and some of the frustrations I`m bringing home from work at the moment.I`m ok on the tennis and baseball,but the bowling just winds me up.Just when I think I`ve got one to go breakneck speed straight down the middle.It veers off right at the end there taking about 2 pins out.Of course my youngest is very much aware of this now so it`s bowling almost every time when I get to play him.I don`t know whose the worst loser either,me or him?I dare say I`ll improve on the losing front with all the practise I`m getting at the moment.Yeah I`ll show him.

Both are fun, but they'd probably be better if I had someone else here to play with! -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?
