Ummmmm.......no, not readily available (at least in North America anyways) Waiting for Super Metroid myself

Alright I'm a total hypocrite as I bought the Wii last week. I bowed down to the constant media hype and of people saying how much fun it is...and you know what?? It's wicked fun. I bought this in the hopes of getting my wife interested in gaming as it was something that I loved doing (I now own all 3 next-gen systems). The beauty of it is that she is really enjoying it. I ended up buying that game "Trauma Centre" where you play a surgeon who has to perform operations on patients using the Wii remote (and Nunchuk). It's a great game and is a novel way to showcase the innovation of the system. I think that's obviously going to the be the key to the Wii's success which is making games that are fun and make creative use of the controls. I can't say right now if it will become gimmicky as it's still a lot of fun to play. I suppose one good argument is that the Nintendo DS has been able to go from strength to strength in utilizing the touchscreen. I still maintain the need for traditional style gaming but if you want the little woman and yourself to have a good laugh together than the Wii will deliver.

Oh haha! You're talking about the ill-fated "Power Glove". It was a controller that came out during the NES years. Apparently old ideas are new again and Nintendo decided to use the idea for the "Wii" Power Glove

My sig is heapbag. Video games have killed my imagination

Well as Kamy said, it's official now: European Launch 1 million units set to be shipped with an expected 300,000 units available for the UK. Add me when you get the black beauty guys!! PSN ID: heapbag

In that case I have to ask myself if that doesn't defeat the whole purpose of the Wii. If you use a conventional controller than really don't you just have a more expensive Nintendo Gamecube? I see the Wii being a hit at parties, but looking less charming when you are alone with her.

I haven't bought any Blu-Ray films as of yet, but I hope to purchase some in the New Year. I've been a bit naughty getting the PS3 as I'm supposed to be saving up for a wedding in May (if she left me would she get half my PS3 I wonder??) My issue with the cable was really due to the fact that here is a product that Sony is touting as the next level in gaming/movies and they package it with a cable that is non-HD. Seemed kind of lame to me that's all. But I will definately post an update on any new games I pick up. Lair is tops on my list as the next game I want.

Just a quick update on the PS3 if anyone is interested. I got home, opened up the box and found the console itself to be smart looking. However, I was greatly disappointed to find that they supply you with a composite (A/V) cable instead of at the very least a component cable. I mean I did get the 60Gb PS3 so you're shelling out some serious cash so they could have thrown in a better cable. Even the Xbox 360 gives you a 2-in-1 component/composite cable. Secondly, the wireless controller needs charging via a USB cable connected from the controller to the front of the PS3 itself. Like the 360 plug 'n play charger, you can still play while having the USB cable attached but the problem is: 1) the PS3 needs to be kept on while the controller charges and 2) the USB cable is only 3ft long which is hardly long enough I found the menu system on the PS3 to be simplistic, yet very functional and easy to use. I bought Resistance: Fall of Man and am already hooked, but I'm not totally blown away cos of the crap cable they provided!

I got my hands on a PS3 today at Wal-mart. Can't wait to play it tonight. Problem was I was so excited to get my hands on one that I forgot to buy a game with it..have to make another stop after work.

Just looked up Okami on the net and realized that it's not out for you guys till Feb./07. Maybe it can be a Chinese New Year present to yourselves.

All I want for Christmas is my Okami.

Ok I was looking to see if there was a Wii thread and found this one buried. I just wanted to know if anybody has bought one or have tried it out. I've been hearing a lot of positive reviews on it. If anything I applaud Nintendo for creating a console that's different.

Sadly the game is not on T.V. for me so I am sure it will be a fantastically scrappy hard fought game. If we can pull this one off then I will really feel that Hughes has his men in good physical shape especially after coming off a European win. Going to pull a Lawro and go for a 1-1 scoreline though.

I hate to be one of those types that disses a topic for its utter uselessness, but who cares!?! He's gone to a weaker league and he will never get another chance in England again. I guess I feel strongly about this due to the fact that his impact here was marginal at best and the likes of Hakan Suker stand out more in my mind. I remember when Barry first came to Rovers that there were a lot of defenders of his name, but I think we can all agree that since then even though we have not found a true replacement for Tugay we are still better off. Ferguson is the type of player that makes me feel like he thought little of us but a cheap f**k. We offer more than that you know...we have personality!!
