So I've been sick of not being able to find a Wii anywhere. Talking with my dad this weekend, it occurs to me to simply go to the source: the Nintendo World Store in Manhattan. So, this morning, I zipped on up to Midtown and waited in line for an hour.

But, I got the Wii, an extra Remote and Nunchuk, and Excite Truck. So it's good. If you live in the tri-state area and want the Wii, get to the Nintendo Store at Rockafeller center by 8:30 AM, and you'll be set. They seem to have about 100 available each day, from what I saw.

Good idea. I didn't know Nintendo had retail stores. We got lucky and found a shipment at a local Target. If not for that we would still be waiting. And we still can't find any extra remotes.

Wii Sports is hella fun, but I already knew that. Excite Truck is fun, as well. Since I have cash to burn, what game should I look at next? Zelda? DBZ? Warioware?

DBZ is a lark. It ceased to be fun about a half hour in.

Maybe for you.

That game's hilarious two-player with Gamecube controllers. You'd be retarded to use a wiimote with it.

Get DBZ if you want a fighting game to play by yourself and like unlocking stuff. Multiplayer = combo whoring/super move whoring = no fun = anime game.

Get Super Swing Golf if you want a balls hard mix between a standard golf game and Gunbound.

I will tell you whether or not to get Wario Ware in a couple minutes when I boot up my copy.

Get Zelda.

Do not get Red Steel or Excite Truck

Edit - Holy fuck, get Wario Ware.

Bear in mind that the main story game is extremely short. Like less than 2 hours short.

It's just a game to fuck around with.

That's the kind of game I need, at this point. I've got, like, no time in the evenings as it is, so a game that I can play for 20 minutes at a stretch is ideal. Hopefully Wii Play will be similar.

So, what's the highest score you've gotten in bowling? I pulled off a 277 the other day. With golf I suck out loud. I managed to break even in a 9-hole game once, but to be fair, I was pretty drunk.

Bowlings Strength Test (with the massive number of pins) is the coolest thing ever.

Ever.

I really hope they make a stand alone boxing game, because everything in Wii Sports plays like a really fun demo for a much better game, well, baseball and tennis suck, but the other 3 rock.

I've only bowled once or twice at a friend's place, and I have never been shown this.

I'll have to hijack some kid's Wii and give this a try.

I managed to hit the red button on the side of the wall on the last frame in Power Throws which makes all 91 pins fall over.

Is it the on the same side as your bowling hand, or the opposite side?

FYI to the Wiitards.

Link to the Past is now on the Virtual Console, Mario Kart 64 will soon join it, and the News Channel goes live on the 27th.

All of this is good news.

The Virtual Console game or Super Mario Galaxy?

I don't think the VC game has been announced, but it was just released for the UK's VC. Galaxy is Q4, iirc.
