I don't think he is hating on it but observing that Sony is going it alone once again. That has not been a recipe for success for them in the past.

NOt hating on them at all. The only thing I hate is the pricetag. I have no problem with them trying to push Bluray. I just don't think it will win the war.

What happened to being able to have an opinion.

My son and I just finished playing all of Wii sports. We both had a lot of fun. Baseball is tougher than it looked as you do have to get the timing down. I also have a feeling that the taller you are the less likely it is you can throw an effective fastball too. My 52" tall son could whip it at 92 MPH while I could never top 65 no matter how hard I tried. Maybe just aproblem with my delivery.

Golf was very fun too. You really need to follow swing mechanics.

Boxing was fun for me to watch but the opponents seemed very easy too. I didn't play this one but watched my son play it.

Bowling is also very mechanics oriented. If you simulate a real throw you will throw a fairly accurate ball. If you just whip the remote around like some lazy asses then it will not look good at all.

Tennis was by far the most fun game we played. Other then the fact you don't move around the room the swing mechanics were very close to the real thing. The more I simulated a real swing the more accurate my shot got. Timing is very relevant in this game too. I had a lot of bad hits to start off but got the hang of it fairly quickly.

Very happy with the purchase.

Somebody at a store I called told me to call back next week.

I was up at Best Buy tonight checking out what I want to try and grab on black friday, and there were three tents set up outside with a couple kids waiting... I forgot Wii was coming out and thought they were already there for BF

Headed over to the 24 hour WalMart afterwards (~9ish) and they were starting to put up a Wii display in electronics and there was absolutely no one around. If I remembered it was coming out, I probably would've stuck around

Wasn't disagreeing with your opinion or denying you the opportunity to have one, just wondered what made you have it, like previous experiences or whatever.

Doesn't really have an effect on me either way at this point since I don't have HD anything. I would prefer the cheaper option prevail though.

I got my pre-ordered Wii last night. Played it alot with my kid today before the game. Wii Sports is alot of fun and I am going to start playing Zelda sometime today or tomorrow

Pitt Gorilla · 11-19-2006, 02:54 PM

The Wii looks badass. Madden and Zelda look really cool.

Well after playing the TURD known as NCAA 2006 for the XBox for 3 days and then taking it back, I can say with 100% assuredness that the gameplay HAS changed.

NCAA 2007 for the XBox 360 is the best football game simulation ever made. It lacks depth, like the early iterations of the XBox version (not all teams have fight songs or stadiums, etc.) but the gameplay is the best football ever, bar none.
