The Revolution is here! Nintendo released today the "Wii". Will you get one?

From Neowin

Nintendo released their own next generation system, the Wii, earlier this morning. While the system wasn't as hotly anticipated as Sony's Playstation 3 (meaning there were no armed robberies and riots involved), there are many gaming fans excited to get their hands on the Nunchuk controller and, for a comparably measly $250, who can blame them?

The launch event took place at the Toys 'R Us in Times Square in New York City. While the line of eager gamers was long enough to completely circle the block, there were no issues in terms of crowd control. In fact, Engadget even has shots of people calmly enjoying some wireless MarioKart DS fun while waiting in line. To keep everyone entertained, Nintendo retrofitted a Segway with a fully functioning Wii kiosk and moved it along the line in order to let people get a few minutes of play time in. Along with that, there were small giveaways including free t-shirts and the like.

As for the console itself, Nintendo took a very different approach to their next generation system when compared to the PS3 and Xbox 360. Besides the fact that they actually make a profit on each unit sold (the horror), Nintendo decided to focus more on game play instead of graphics and early reports show that it may have been a risk worth taking. The previously mentioned Nunchuk controller is definitely different and will take some time to get used to, but Nintendo has you covered. Besides including a tutorial in the Wii packaging, Nintendo also threw in a free game. "Wii Sports" isn't going to blow your mind with over the top graphics, but what better way to get used to the Nunchuk than by playing a free full version game? Crazy Nintendo.

In preparation for the release, Nintendo also set the Wii store to live. Through the store, you can purchase credits to use towards the download of games,from earlier Nintendo systems, to play on the Wii. Each credit is valued at $0.01 US, so a full thousand credits will set you back $10. Those 1,000 credits, though, can garner you on N64 game, one SNES game, or two NES or Sega Genesis games.
 
There sold out everywhere! I plan on getting one on Boxing Day here in Canada. I hope the Wii does really well! It would look good on Sony and there over priced machine and xbox 360 with there need to control all things in the world!!
 
i think i'll probably get one...even though i really don't like the look of the controller...since i've been a nintendo fan forever. the only system i HAVEN'T owned was the SNES, but that was from lack of funds

the Wii isn't a priority, but it something to think about

i still have my original gameboy and it works fine, thank you very much;)

Take the Wii Controller and turn it 90 degrees..........and if you look at it....you have the NES controller!!! :D

It's Wii amazing!!
 
They actually have a lot of them here at the Wal Mart in California, they said they have them in stock. Not sure if that is true or not. I'm broke and I have nothing, plus I don't plan to sell my soul to Nintendo any time soon.
 
Sadly I think the PS3 has shown the biggest disappointment in Video game history.



 
PS3 may have better graphics, but Wii will definately have better games. Nintendo is known for making the most addicting games.

I plan to buy one, just not anytime soon.

That's just because of the limited number produced, they wanted to get something out before the christmas rush to be competitive. There are supposed to be 500,000 more released before christmas, and another 500,000 after the holiday season.
 
I got it and its amazing. Seriously. The remote is wonderful, it just feels so natural to play with it and go thru the menus with it. Call it whatever you want, but you wont understand anything until you actually try it out yourself. It works.

Even if they get 1 million consoles put out after the Holiday Season chances are Wii will be at 2 to 3 million.
 
The PS3 is just too expansive. I really wouldn't pay the 600€, if i can have next generation gaming for 300€ or 400€
 
I waited outside Target to get my Wii on the release day! Thank goodness I live in a warm place. hehe

But yeah, I really really love it. A few of my friends have gotten it too...and we spent a whoooooooooooole lot of time yesterday playing Wii Sports and Trauma Center. The graphics may not be as amazing as the PS3..but like others have said, it's not always about graphis...gameplay has to be taken into account as well. And damn...the gameplay on the Wii is really cool because it's so different. Zelda: TP is quite a different experience from any other Zelda game I've played.

OK..enough dorking out. I need to finish a take home test!
 
I want a WII too! i lov Nintendo since childhood and i am going to have WII too!

Ehi guys, write your opinion and comments about your wxperience with this new console, I am so curious!!!!

P.s. Do you know a good forum recarding videogames in Canada?

Thanks a lot guys.
 
I got a wii on launch day, and I love it. I picked up rayman and red steel. So far I haven't had anything negative to say about the system. I love how you can send email to your wii and get messages from other wii consoles. I haven't downloaded any of the virtual console games yet but I'm getting Mario 64 soon.
 
I can't wait to paly Super Mario Galaxy!

I love Mario's games.
