Re: Official Wii Discussion

Some Targets have them in now, you might want to call first.

Plus other stores should have them for sale this Sunday. You might want to be there when they first open.

hopefully i can find on easily around 1/15. I just have other things to take care of that I didn't due to the holidays. Other priorities right now.

Re: Official Wii Discussion

I went to my girls' cousin's house last night were I played the Wii on thanksgiving and I played it again and watched her husband play for a while, we were playing Wii sports again and the he was playing Zelda and Steel blade or whatever that game is called, and he played madden too, and man I really don't like the Wii at all, I really don't see what all the fuss is about, the system to me is cool if your a kid or in your early teens, I just don't like the system at all, I just see the system as an minor upgrade over the game cube, another system I never had or care for, all well to each is own, I tried it again and nothing.

Re: Official Wii Discussion

If you don't like Nintendo developed games you wouldn't like the Wii. My friends and I played bowling for hours the one night. I've been playing Zelda and having a blast. I had a PS3 but I sold it, heh, the Wii was a lot more fun for me and I already have a 360.

your problem is you don't like the graphics, period. If the wii was the most powerful system out there and had all the blood and violence that its competitors have, you'd be all over it.

So from what you have said, its not about the game play, its about the look and artistic path that Nintendo has taken which you feel is 'kiddy' and/or not powerful enough.

BTW, reading all the posts here, and seeing who has decided to pick up a Nintendo machine, its pretty insulting to say that the system would be cool if you were a kid or a pre-teen, as apparently that is not the case. Yes its your opinion, but that opinion seems more to justify the systems you do have than anything else.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

I traded in Madden 360 for Madden Wii. The 360 version kills it in graphics, do I care? Nope. Madden Wii is easily the most fun Madden I've ever played. I've had more fun in the last week with the Wii than any system in a long time.

I hear ya, and you probaly are right, and it is my opinion, I just don't like it.

no worries. I am not trying to call you out or anything, just adding my bias to the conversation as well.

Re: Official Wii Discussion

I was finally able to score one yesterday at a local Target. I used that itrackr website and it sort of worked. They told me the Target by my work had them in stock so I rushed over there. I got there and was told they didn't have any but one 2 towns over did. I headed over there convinced that they'd be sold out or the person in front of me would buy the last one but they still had 5 left so I lucked out. I picked up Zelda and bought Super Mario Brothers and Ice Hockey on the shopping channel. It makes the perfect complimentary system for my 360. I had a blast with it yesterday and my daughter loved it too.

Well I couldn't resist and opened the Madden for 360 I received as a gift
(had already played it once) and I'll be giving it to my nephews or trading it in. The Wii Madden is just flat out fun to play. I just have to watch my "attitude". The other day me and my nephews were playing (on the same team...another thing 360 version doesn't allow) and my youngest nephew forgot to put his arms up to catch a sure TD which would have won the game. We lost by 4. I said "next time you might want to raise your arms to catch the freaking ball!"

How long did you given Madden 360 this time? LOL I actually was playing it a ton lately, BUT, it started to get reallllll old. Madden Wii is a completely new breath of fresh air for the series.

lol 2 days. It looks great and I love that part about it but it just still feels blah. Nothing that makes me want to keep playing it. Hard to describe.
I guess the 3 biggest things are 1: No co-op and 2: No cameras. 3: The been there done that feeling.

Your right about the Wii version as it does bring a new experience to the game.

Re: Official Wii Discussion

I have a half day off today, my goal is to find a Wii. If I don't I will not be happy.

Re: Official Wii Discussion

I traded in Madden for the 360, too, It was pretty boring after a while, and after winning every freaking game on the highest level. Maybe I'll have to pick it up for the Wii..

What exactly didn't you like? The system is innovative and intuitive. It's ideal for the family, as just about anyone of any age can pick up the wiimote and get the hang of it.
