Fierce_LiNk Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Thread Suggested by UltraJamie ITV news will be doing a special feature on the Wii. I have no idea when they will be showing it. (whether its at the beginning of the show or at the end) So, one to watch out for. I'll be tuning in.
ultrajamie Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 sorry... ITV news!!! DOH!!!! the news is on now Thread Suggested by UltraJamie ITV news will be doing a special feature on the Wii. I have no idea when they will be showing it. (whether its at the beginning of the show or at the end) So, one to watch out for. I'll be tuning in. LMAO.... phew
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 Haha, i've edited it now. Turned on ITV now to watch.
ultrajamie Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 my hopes suddenly aren;t high... they introduced it as "space invaders it isn't"
ThePigMarcher Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I did try to post this but for some reason couldn't so I stuck it in the general discussion thread (naughty I know).
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 I dunno, i remain hopeful. They opened with that sentence, and then cut to people playing the Wii, and a voice over saying "why Nintendo hopes to change gaming (i think thats what it said)"
ultrajamie Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 we'll see..... it's amazing coverage... don't recall seeing 360 on itv news during it's launch week.
Goron_3 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I just put the channel on...I hope I haven't missed it :S
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 It hasn't been on yet. It should be on any minute now. And, btw, i originally posted this as channel 4, but have since edited it to ITV, as a mistake was made.
ultrajamie Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I just put the channel on...I hope I haven't missed it :S no it's after the radiation piece.
david.dakota Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Since my girlfreind is watching Hollyoaks (that'll not be happening Friday, I can assure you), i've just poped the PVR to record!
ultrajamie Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 (that'll not be happening Friday, I can assure you), LOL my flatmate told me he's got friday off work... i was like, well, it's best you go out... till monday when i go back to work... "AN INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL REALITY SYSTEM" oh... dear.... the wii is as small as an xmas card on the fireplace.... HEEEEEEE!!!!
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 I think they showed it off in a good light. Especially the demo of Wii Tennis with Pat Cash and that reporter bloke. Did anyone else laugh when the newswoman said "Wiiiiii"?

Did anyone else laugh when the newswoman said "Wiiiiii"? i was a bit let down she said it with such a smirk... it's not funny anymore
Charlie Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I think they showed it off in a good light. Especially the demo of Wii Tennis with Pat Cash and that reporter bloke. Did anyone else laugh when the newswoman said "Wiiiiii"? She did, anyway. It was apretty good report, hopefully lots of parents saw it.
Sooj Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Was it just me or did I hear that presenter say that Wii is trailing behind Ps3 and 360? I know 360 is miles ahead for obvious reasons but PS3, what the fuck?
Samdecahedron Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I thought it made it look very good. They seemed to think it was more a fitness machine than videogames, but to see the Wii on ITV really is something.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 Yeah, they did slip up in some places. Also, when they said it was expensive, but i think that was just for humour. Overall, i think they did pretty well. It wasn't half as bad as i thought it was going to be.
Goron_3 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Nice to see that they reckon it's gonna sell loads :P
Sooj Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Yeah, I just caught it when the presenter and the other guy was playing Tennis, it was pretty decent.
Stocka Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 That was about as positive as a UK News Channel mentioning a Nintendo console is going to be. Good stuff.
triforce_keeper Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Yeh my mum and I just watched it and my mum said, " I'm actually excited about this Wii thing, can't wait to play bowling." lol fuck off. Its mine bitch.

I know 360 is miles ahead for obvious reasons but PS3, what the fuck? No she just said 'sonys playstation' I thought it made it look very good. They seemed to think it was more a fitness machine than videogames, but to see the Wii on ITV really is something. yeah... they made out that the whole point was to get people moving... the point is to do something different. Nice to see that they reckon it's gonna sell loads :P what is this? hear what you want on the news? they said it remains to be seen if it will sell well over here - which is true because it's not out, but also false, because on preorders alone it's sold out
Crazyreyn Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Yeh my mum and I just watched it and my mum said, " I'm actually excited about this Wii thing, can't wait to play bowling." lol fuck off. Its mine bitch. XDXDXDXDXD
