lol Play is ok, as long as you have friends and more wiimotes. The duckhunt game is really nice, as well as the cowrace :) Some of the games are not so great of course, but overall, since you're paying 10 euro for the game (it includes a wiimote, which is 40 euro, and the whole play game costs 50 euro) its a great investment.

wii play is bundled with a wiimote, and 9 stupid games, and since there is no nunchuk pictogram on the box, only wiimotes are needed for players. this is not true for other games. in wii sports, tennis/baseball/bowling/golf don't require a nunchuk, whereas boxing requires both players to have a nunchuk... so don't forget to order a 2nd nunchuk ! you can play it alone though. anyway, that game is so unresponsive :( about the wii play games : tanks look cheap, billiards is very hard to play (just like regular billiards...), the funniest is find mii, table tennis and laser hockey have a good gameplay. I bought rayman, it's very funny, especially the dancing game where you have to beat you controllers to the rythmn, like playing drums on DDR. the shooting game looks like virtua cop : predefined ride, reload with a fast movement of the nunchuk, aim and shoot with wiimote. the other games are absurd, like slapping toilets doors into rabbits faces.

i dont like the baseball game, it get's very boring, there's no real difference in the way you pitch, and you hit a faul very very fast. my friend is on his way with monkeyball. with the main game and 50 minigames, i'm anxious to see what it's like. zelda seems a little too easy to me. i'm at a point where i dont really bother fighting anymore, unless i'm required to. but i guess that's no different from other zelda games. it just was never so apparant to me.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the "wave the wii remote to slash" thing in Zelda? It works, but I would honestly prefer pressing a button. It feels slightly slowish and even clunky at times. The nunshuck is also slightly picky about what counts as a shake and what doesn't. I often shake it without triggering a quickspin. I suppose I'll get used to it and figure out exactly how to move those things. I just want them to be totally sensitive and consider the slightest movement to be a slash/quickspin. Bleech....

Well, 14 hours into zelda and I've come across a few comments myself... But I don't really want to spoil anything so I'll keep m to myself. I don't really mind the slashing (altough a button would not be a terrible waste...) but I agree on the nunchucks. I find myself annoyed when I want to do a quickspin. Even though the wii remains good, it certainly has a couple of weak spots imo. Like my batteries being almost empty after just a weekend of play... Oh yeah and the wii crashed twice already, failing to read a new disc. You have to re-connect additional remotes EVERY DAMN TIME you want to play monkeyball with more then one player. This goes for Play as well. Very frustrating. The remote that is not number one will go into searchmode when the wii is on standby (which, my best guess, would waste a huge amount of batteries...). I'm playing on a beamer, which requires a certain distance between teh wall and my beamer. I hook the wii up to the beamer, but the IR sensor has to be near the wall. Where does my Wii go? The IR sensor seems absolete, why does it require IR when it has BT? If it can detect movement, why can't it calibrate and determine aim that way? Why does monkeyball calibrate before every single partygame that uses IR, and do other games not calibrate at all? (Monkeyball should just calibrate once, preferably from a config screen, but once per default is fine too. other games should allow calibration) Why can the remote not be put to a lower sensitivity? Etc...

Yeah, I was kinda under the impresson that there would be a stand that came with the Wii that you would plug the Wii remotes in when not in use, and it would recharge the batteries and keep them in sync. :/ I guess they could later release a USB device that does that. By the way, you can build your own "wireless" sensor bar. (instructions are on the internet) But it is a bit of a hassle... Edit. Okay, I have now played Zelda some more, and I think I'm getting used to the sword swinging thing. It still feels less precise than a button, though, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. This game is sooo sweet. I love it.

There are pro's and con's to zelda. It's a nice game overall and I'll post my complaints (and my pro's) in a seperate "spoilers ahead" zelda thread when I'm done (Because I don't want to read other spoilers i n the process ;).

Anyone get Elebits? It looks like a cross between Katamari Damacy and Gary's Mod for HL2 and it's supposed to be awesome.

the number of games available to the virtual console is pathetic... i like the fact that you can email your wii now... (w<wiinumber>@wii.com, that wii needs to add your address first) i like the mii-internet thing, but i would've liked it to be a little bit extended (like, where has a certain mii been so far? and to let mii's go to random wii's online...) oh yeah and the virtual games never reset unless you want it to. i guess it saves the state when you return to the wii-menu. this rox for score-games that don't have the save ram thing (like pinball). the news and that other channel wont show until i updated the wii, but when i update the wii it says i have the latest update. so whats up with that. not that i care for the news on my wii much, but i was just curious :p oh yeah and the virtual console games are frigin expensive. i payed 20 euro for 2000 points (so 1 cent per point) and the nes games cost 500 points, snes/sega was 600, n64 was 800. 5 dollars for the nes pinball game is really a ripoff... (i just bought the points to see what it was like so it wasnt a big problem). i got me zelda, pinball and fzero.

The news and weather channels aren't available yet.

I have one, but also only Wii Sports & Wii Play, so not very much. I have to wait for Wario Ware, Metroid Prime 3 and SSBB. But it's a very nice console.

well tony hawk isnt very great (i was just hoping on more of the same myself). monkeyball is good for multiplayer, but the singleplayer gets really boring really fast like the previous titles, as far as i'm concerned. i'm in doubt whether to buy rayman for the minigames, i wouldn't buy it for the "adventure" part. i'm probably gonna buy the monstertruck game, for the sake of getting a steeringwheel :p the other games dont interest me much

the "adventure" mode to rayman is minimal, you just play the games 5 by 5 until you finish the 15 days (total : 75 mini games). once you've done the 14th day, all games are unlocked in the other (free) modes. hopefully, there is a challenge mode where you must finish groups of games to unlock new challenges; and a score mode where you must score good enough everywhere to unlock every bonus. all games are very fun, except too many of them cannot be played at the same time by several players (hot seat...) the ddr game is very well done (looks a bit like donkey konga, you strike the commands like drumsticks), gameplay is always nice except the games where you have to hit radios to make rabbits dance ; those are unresponsive. worth buying but don't forget to get a nunchuk for each player !

Well since lik-sang went belly-up there's no real point anymore. I don't know where to get importgames elsewhere really.

Not if you don't put the tags in. qFox: try the Internet I already posted a link in this thread to a place where you can order imports.

unfortunately, Wii isn't HD so you get only 350-ish lines to display the browser. so you can't read anything and you end up using the zoom and scrolling a lot. moreover, if you have a net access for your Wii, most chances are that you didn't get it only for the console but you already have a computer not far, hence browsing from there. so it's just a unuseful gadget. but yeah, it works and it looks nice. I hope we will be able to download free stuff from there, such as freeware, etc.

I tried posting a message in this thread using my Wii. I was able to log in, and 'type' a message, but when I pressed submit, nothing at all happened. Then the browser stopped doing anything meaningful. It's a nice novelty, but not for actual browsing.
