E3 - 2006 : LIVE :: Massive Wii hands-on

[trashcanmonkey]

humm, will it be enough to lure me away from my pc tho?

I have far too much spare time on my hands. I just did a little re-write of American Pie. Let me know what you think

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How Nintendo used to make me smile.
And I knew if Wii had a chance
That Wii could make those people dance
And, maybe, Wii’d be happy for a while.

But Playstation made me shiver
With every pricetag they’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn’t take one more step.

I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about Sony's suicide,
But something touched me deep inside
The day that next gen died.

So bye-bye, Mr Katuragi,
Though your Blu Ray does sound heavy,
It's just too much for me.
And them good old boys were playin' Metroid on Wii,
Singin’, "Wii'll be the one that I buy.
"Wii'll be the one that I buy."

Even Don MacLean would be proud!

If there's enough demand, I may even have an attempt at a second verse hehe

did you REALLY write that?

It's amazing

[Barkotron]

Wow.

For the first time in, well, ever, I'm actually quite excited about a console. I may even buy it .

Cant wait to get my hands on the Wii now - I wasnt all that bothered for it but reading all the rave E3 stuff has totally changed my perspective! Just how much fun will it be waving your hands around in the front room of an evening! If I want fancy graphics and all that I have an expensive PC with 7.1 sound and the rest of it upstairs, if I want to have a bit of a laugh with me mates then its Wii in the front room.

Anyone know if it supports dolby digital or owt like that? I'd love to rig this up to my AV setup.

I was trying to see if there were any Wii commercials on the web yet and came across this commercial for the NES

The good old days.

It is a speaker apparently. Have a search on google for the E3 Wii video. It appears to 'ping' when Mario grabs a coin for example

Ok, that might really piss me off, hope there's an option to turn it off and on

[koocha]

I can't wait for a Wii

now there's a thought to make me drool.... ....hastily signs up to amazon for email notification of preorder allowed on wii

A new landmark mario game will be worth the purchase price alone.
