I'll be getting one eventually, even if it's only for Twilight Princess. Don't have the funds right now though. Post impressions when you can guys!

Come on GeN, I'm waiting for a full review!

It's pretty much the coolest thing since life itself. I even spent hours playing Wii Sports, leaving a little frustrated after getting screwed in baseball, it was still rather enjoyable. I haven't really played Legend of Zelda yet. That is the type of game you want to be able to play. I got home at one, and didn't want to be up for the rest of the morning, so I popped it in, watched intro movie and stuff, then played Wii sports for a bit. More on Zelda later though. The controller is so good. A lot of times with stuff like this it'd be something you'd need to calibrate to your specifications. But as soon as I started the movement speed of the icon on screen just felt perfect. It's a small detail, but I love how long the sensor bar cable is.

So far, the only thing I don't like about the Wii is how the DVD slot doesn't glow blue all the time :[. I only see it glow blue when I stick a game in or take one out, and it's only for a split second. Also the News and Weather "channels" don't exactly work yet, but I didn't need them to tell me how cold it was outside last night. I stood in it for 10 hours :[.

So yeah...pretty much have a Wii by Christmas, Nintendo is supposed to have 4 million shipped by then.

Sounds cool, but I don't think I can get one this Xmas. Had to buy a new car a week ago, so that's Xmas for me and the wife this year. How long is the sensor bar cable, Joystiq said it was short?

GeN · 11-19-2006, 02:06 PM

Looking at it, I'd say about 20 ft. I think the Xbox controller cable is like 10 ft.? This cable looks to be about two of them put together.

*Gronar* · 11-19-2006, 02:08 PM

Wow, that's not short at all.

GeN · 11-19-2006, 02:10 PM

Yeah 20 ft. is just an estimate, it may be a lot shorter. But it's not short at all.

watched a review about Red Steel,,and the general impression I got from that is that the game was abit of a let down,,,complicated control "moves" and pre scriped sword attacks you could perform...which is a bummer if it's true.
