        All you played was the pack-in game?

          Football have you tried the bowling? That game it a heck of alot of fun, plus Madden Zelda Red Steel and a few other games i have for it and i'm really liking the system the only thing i need is the component cables just to sharpen things up.You should try the bowling(if you didn't already) it my change your mind about the system

            Re: Official Wii Impressions

            Has anyone used the Wii on a LCD HDTV? How do games look on it?

            I have the Sammy LN-R238W(the one used on 360 kiosks) and I remember how bad the original Xbox games looked on it, even 480p games using component cables.

            I fairly interested on the Wii, but I'm worried I'm going to have the same experience I had with 480p games even with component cables.

              it looked fine on a samsung 32 hdtv. I got the component cables earlier in the week, and it now looks incredible, widescreen and all.


              again though, it didnt look bad at all with the regular cables.

                yeah thats all I played, and yes I know In only played the games in the pack, I know there will be many more game to come out and I'm sure they will be good, I just don't like the system, I think it's more or less for children or a family machine who have yougsters. I just would never buy one or really care to play it again. This is just my opinion guys.

                  That's a pretty narrow minded opinion on thinking it's 'more or less for children'.

                  But as you said its your opinion. Now i am gonna hold you to that during this generation of gaming. If you pick up a wii i will be forced to make fun of you.

                    Bacardi, I will never pick up a Wii, trust me, Like I told EG, I haven't played a Nintendo product since the SNES. I think the controller is cool, but the system just seems more twoards kids, that all. Yes I know there are a lot of adult gamers who love some of Nintendo's games, but I just don't like the system, just not my taste.

                          Re: Official Wii Impressions

                          Just got a Wii and Zelda today gentleman. A friend of mine picked this up for me this morning at gamestop. They opened at 7 am and she was there at 5:30 am. There was already one person waiting outside. When they were about to open the manager comes out and says we were supposed to get 8 wii's in today but only received 3. Luckily I was able to get one.

                          After briefly playing wii sports and Zelda for an hour so the control scheme takes a little getting used to but it is quite fun. In wii sports my favorites so far is bowling and boxing. Bowling seems to work perfectly with controller. Now I'm on the hunt for component cables and trying to figure out why my wii won't connect with my wireless router. Graphically in standard def the graphics look ok but nothing to write home about. It seems like the wii has a lot of potential to be quite fun and thats really what its all about. I'm sure component cables will spruce the picture up a bit.

                            Pretty much the same story for me. I went and purchased a Wii, Zelda and an extra controller at Gamestop this morning for $340. Plus I got a 1GB SD card at Staples for $20. Now I just need to find another nunchuck. I'm so happy I was able to get one less than a week after launch.

                            At Gamestop they got shipments on Tuesday but weren't supposed to sell them until today. However one of the girls who works there sold 6 of the 9 leaving 3 for today. I got to the store at 5:30 and was 2nd in line.

                              of course I played Golden eye, I played it everyday with a bunch of friends after school. just because I didn't own it doesn't mean I didn't play one of the best games ever. I'm sorry EG I don't buy everything that comes out.:wink:

                                My brother has a ten year old daughter but he wants to get something he likes too. Could someone who has the Wii give me your impressions of the system and the games?
