Charlie Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I've been talking to some people about their Wii Launch plans, what games they're getting, how many controllers, which Virtual Console games, where they're buying it from, how much they expect it to cost etc. I'm stuck between 2 minds about what I'm going to get. I think I'm going to have to limit myself to 3 games, although there are so many I want, I really can't afford anymore than 3. Virgin Megastores in Glasgow opened at midnight for the DS launch, so I expect it will do the same for the Wii, I'll either be going there or GAME in Glasgow. I might put a preorder in for both, and then go the one with the shortest queue as preorders will only be £5. Yes, I'm that sad and want to get home that much quicker. Obviously I'll only be able to do that if I've passed my driving test by then, otherwise I'll have to get a lift from someone (CVD?)... Games, as I said before, I want at 3 if I can afford that many. I'm hoping that WiiSports will be included with the Wii for free, I don't want to shell out £30 (or £20 if its a budget title) for it, although I would play it if it was free. I think I'm going to get: Red Steel Zelda OR Metroid Excite Truck OR Monkey Ball I haven't decided yet though, if Red Steel doesn't have a good online multiplayer I probably wont bother about it at launch and pick it up later, instead going for a game with good online multiplayer instead. Zelda OR Metroid, I feel that 1 deep, immersive single player game is enough for me, I've always prefered multiplayer games. Excite Truck OR Monkey Ball, I love racing games, arcade games are so much fun, I would actually like to try this out to see what controlling its like before I choose, but I don't think I'll get a chance to do so. I got Marble Blast Ultra from the Xbox Live Arcade and loved it, I'm hoping for another game like that from Monkey Ball, but I can't decide between them. I would like to get 2 controllers, but monetery issues are here again, I don't have all that much money to spend. Nintendo have said that it will look good whatever you play it on, they haven't said whether it will connect to a CRT VGA monitor out of the box or not, if it can't I'll buy something to let it do that. What are you getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Red Steel Metroid Excite truck 2 controllers avec nunchuk, dvd attachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acidyl Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Definetly zelda for me, but besides that, I'm not sure. Prime 3 seems like must-have title (I loved the first two) but might be a big much to combine with zelda, I'll probably go for something lighter, maybe red steel or excitetruck, but that might completely change once the launch list is out.

Zell Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Zelda, Metroid and 1 multiplayer game, probably either Red Steel or Wii Sports, but since I have no idea how good the launch games will be, I'm obviously not 100% certain of what I will get.

Hero-of-Time Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I will be preordering my machine from Gameplay. Games wise though I will be getting all the 1st/2nd party titles along with Monkey Ball and possibly Red Steel. I will probably pick up another wand and a retro controller aswell.

EchoDesiato Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Zelda and Metroid Prime 3. I'd also love to get Rayman and Red Steel (if they're any good), but that'd be very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan88 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 ill probably get a white wii and extra wiimote Zelda,red steel,metroid and wii sports if its not bundled with the wii cant be 100% as we dont know the full launch line up i reckon ill play wii sports first as it looks like a quick pick up and play game and multi player as if i put zelda on first i probably wouldnt be able to turn it off to try the other games and hopefully theyll bring out a HD component lead at launch. What game do you think you will play first? Edit: and wario ware if its out at launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letty Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I believe I am getting zelda and red steel at launch, along with 1 controller. Cant spend too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightendo Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 retro-lover, the wii is gonna play dvds straight outta the box, is that not what has been said for this past while...? anyhoo, a white wii it is for me! now there were rumours that it might come with two wii-motes and one nunchuck, so that should do to begin with, though if multi-coloured wii-motes are available at launch i might get enough for four players for wii sports :D defintootely getting both zelda and metroid, as i can't choose between the two of them!! zelda because, hey, it's zelda(!) and metroid because unlike ZTP it's been built from the ground up for the wii, so they are definites. i need at least one multiplayer tho, so that'll be wii sports without a shadow of a doubt, and if it IS bundled then i'll get wario ware as it looks like a riot! i won't bother with the classic controller just yet, as the first game i'm gonna buy on VC is solstice (NES) if it's available (unlikely but hey i can dream!) i LOVED that when i was a teenager and stayed at my sister's in scotland during the summer months, and all i'll have to do to play them is turn my wii-mote on its side = sweet. sonic, red steel (and wario if i have to buy wii sports) won't be too far behind either!!

Zell Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think Nintendo said themselves that Wii wouldn't play DVDs, although this may have been quite a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightendo Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think Nintendo said themselves that Wii wouldn't play DVDs, although this may have been quite a while ago. they ended up confirming it would, but that you'd need a dongle that would slip inside the wii outta view. but some of the magazines that have had hands-on with it (EDGE for example) have stated that it'll play DVD's straight outta the box now.... not sure either way to be honest, but it will defo play them... somehow lol.

Charlie Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think you still do need to buy a DVD dongle. The console would cost a lot more if you didn't have to buy one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightendo Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 a lot of dvd players cost next to nothing now tho, and a dongle is only gonna cost the same, maybe £20 to £30. either way, i hope there isn't a seperate remote, i'd love to fast forward and rewind by twisting the wii-mote lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not everyone wants it to be able to play DVD's. I'm not bothered about it, my DVD player and computer can already play DVD's so I don't want to buy the dongle for £20 or pay £20 extra for something I'm not going to use. What would happen when you put the controller down? Have to have a very steady hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Wii - probably Black Extra Controller - probably White Zelda Twilight Princess Multiplayer game and Wii Sports if it's not included There are so many great games, I don't know what to get as the second game! Excitetruck, Super Monkey Ball, Red Steel, Rayman, Wario Ware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would happen when you put the controller down? Have to have a very steady hand hehe, true true. maybe it'd work while you press the 'A' button to activate it, so press it down and a sharp flick to the left or right would skip a chapter, or a twist of the wrist would fast forward or rewind, the speed depending on how far you twist it. hehe, i know it's sad for me to say but i'd find that fun and there's quite a few "stylish" dvd players going for about £150, simply because of how they look, so maybe anyone who doesn't have one could buy a stylish dvd player in the wii, with all the added nintendo goodness too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
