yea, buddy, i dont think so...u think u can just foul-mouth ur way, but saying things that arent even tru is just f***in retarded. First of all, no one got hurt, but i cant say the same about the PS3 launch. 2nd, ive seen videos of ur brits gettin the wii in stores, and compared to the good ol' U.S of A., u guys went through hell and back, and back again. maybe next time u say somethin, u get ur facts straight. people were jumping and pushing while over here, people waited patiently, and if it ran out, they would know when there will be more. besides, more Nintendo Wiis came out here than in Britain, so u better know wat 2 say b4 sayin it. Bcz damn it, im gettin tired of this crap, people bad-mouthin and thinkin that wat they say is tru. Reality check, U BRITISH SUFFERED A LOT MORE THAN US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im not sayin it as a good thing, im just sayin the truth. and trust me, im a very avid gamer, and i know a lot about videogames. people were literally running just to get their hands on the Wii, while here, people walked in, thats right, WALKED in and calmly got their Nintendo Wiis, went to the register to buy it, and just left. End of discussion.....enough said, enough said.............

That guy in the Luigi hat... o_O he's stylin' hahah

Agree with DAmore_117. Nintendo PWNS!!!!!!!

This is exactly what I pictured would happen when they revealed the wii-mote at the TGS. Nintendo PWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay Reggie!

I know some one who waited in line since 6:00 AM. The crappy part some people bought two. He said he saw siblings buying two some people do not know how to share. Now me and him have to wait like 2-3 days, to buy a Wii!

This lady i work with was trying to get one for her kid, and went everywhere on launch day, but lines were out the door on sunday moning, then she passed by costco and only saw like 5 people, so she got in line, they said they had 43 on hand, and she was number 6, guess u were just at the wrong store...lol

It seems like a good launch

I had mine preordered for a while so I didn't have to sleep out, but man does that seem like it was fun. And lol at the random stupid passing woman.

I waited in line and got it. It was crazy!

I've waited in line for a Wii two times in the last week ( one on launch day and one on black friday) and I haven't got one yet!!!!!!!!! So what do I do? Ehh they say third time is the charm, I'll see what I can do this week!

Hey, anything that'll get grandma(they say it will bring us all together) to stop talking about the good ol' days and pick up a controller....there just may something good here..... good job and good luck Nintendo...we all owe you at least a nod for helping shape the industry we all claim to love.

The wii didn't do so well in my city. i mean it eventually sold out later on in the day, but there were people selling them in the stores for like $175.00-$200.00 and had no one buy them.

The poor little wii, has so few games that has at leas a 8.7... so so sad

Dang. I want a Wii signed by Reggie... Man... that Johnson dude is so freakin lucky! Although waiting in line PROBABLY helped. Can we still get those Wii caps? I really want one yall. Maybe they sell them on the nintendo website?

I WANT THE WII

to skatrbub54

What do I call Zelda? An excellent title...for the Game Cube! Isn't it curious that the Game Cube version has been postponed? The Wii has already been launched in the US, it is going to launch in Japan on December 2nd and in Europe on December 8th. And when is the Game Cube version of Zelda coming out? On December 13th! How convenient! Even the press was puzzeled when they learnt that there would be a Wii version in the first place, and that it would be available before the Cube version. What do I call the other games currently available? Not good reason enough to buy a Wii. As far as I'm concerned, I am going to play The Twilight Princess on the Game Cube where it belongs. I totally agree there is no reason for buying a PS3 right now given the lack of worthy titles, but I can't see why you couldn't say the same thing about the Wii.

One woman walking by Toys "R" Us after the launch asked her friend what everyone was milling around for, then realized it was for the Wii. "Oh, it's for that dumb game thing," she said. Apparently Nintendo's quest to make gamers out of everyone still has a way to go.

"Just another ploy for Gamespot to hate up on Nintendo" GO GAMESPOT!!!

I want that wii hat.

Damn, I wish Reggie would sell me a Wii!

maverickexe :

ps3 cost a bomb, just because of its blue ray,
for a blue ray player alone will cost you $1500 bucks...
if you ask me, ps3 + blue ray, just for $600, thats a steal...

nintendonerd101 :

the reason people sell ps3 at e-bay,
is just because, its hard to get, not many of them out there,
compare to wii....
and wii is cheap, with a lot of stock, why the hell people wanna
sell it at ebay for...? if the cost is the same and the stock is limited,
Im sure its gonna be the same like ps3.... make sense to you...?

think before y'all say something... bashing a console (any console) is just childish...

I can't wait to get my hands on a Wii

I'll personally wait until next year to buy a Wii. That's when the truly awesome games will come out.

Issachar said "Now just bring on a killer Mario game and we'll be all set." there has not been a good classic Mario game since Mario 64. I don't count RPG or sport Mario games.

Id say Nintendo at least had the best launch of the 3. Now just bring on a killer Mario game and we'll be all set.

Wii Rocks over all Consoles!!!!!!!!

way to go .

to siafni:

no core gamer games? wtf do you call zelda? wtf do you call monkey ball and DBZ? and then theyre comin out with brawl, corruption, galaxy, warioware, resident evil, all the virtual console games, and all teh other games that are coming out that look good. wii is for BOTH categories. also are you kidding wii is in its own gen above the ps3 and 360. its not even a battle between wii and any other because wii is so much better. its only between the ps3 and 360 now. those people who bought a ps3 were no hardcore but stupid for paying 600 for a machine that has no games. wii will dominate

the lady who said, "Oh it's for that dumb game thing" is probly a b*tch

RE: maverickexe and nintendonedr101

Do not get me wrong guys, I really do sympathize with your passion for Nintendo and your loyalty, and that Reggie guy is a real show men, but despite people selling their brand new ps3 on ebay or the 600 bucks for a ps3 or an xbox360 (assuming one wants the xbox360 also to be able to play hi def movies), we'll see at the end of the day how many hard core gamers were willing to spend thair 600 big ones to properly enter the next gen...I guess you'll eventually have to prise yourselves for being part of an elite...already been there?

People are saying that Nintendo fans aren't the hardcore gamers, but look at what happened in my local town: At the Wal-Mart I work at, we recieved 8 Playstation 3's with which most of the people who got one were waiting for about 15 hours for (along with about at total of 29 people for the day), and all of the consols but one went on ebay. For the Wii's launch, we got 20 consols and a total of 27 people showed up that day (of which I was one for 14 hours) and everyone who bought the Wii bought it to own and play it, and not a single one was slated for ebay. You tell me who the hardcore gamers here are.

RE: "siafni
...well...it seems to me Nintedo is trying to avoid competition with both Micorsoft and Sony and focusing on casual gamers...I don't see a lot of attention for hard core gamers here...it they had been braver and had built a console as powerful as a ps3 or an xbox adding the new control system...well...that would have been the one to get...too bad...I am really happy with my DS, but I'm kinda disappointed with the wii..."

Dude, do you even know what your saying? So, more or less you want nintendo to pretty much be like sony and just try to outdo and slighty copy everyone else, so you can attract the less than 15% of the "Hardcore" gaming community thats willing to pay $600? It's a good thing sony's hiring, they could use another "Smart guy" like yourself with them.

"Oh, it's for that dumb game thing," "Just like my parents... "

oh man...exactly!!

I hope that they will get along with the Wii...

"Oh, it's for that dumb game thing."

Just like my parents...

Go nintendo!

I agree the wii looks ace. We havent got the wii here in england yet but i know what u can and cant do even though we havent played it yet. For example how can you give a classic franchise like zelda 8.8 disgraceful.
