Woohoo we got a Wii kiosk up!

Yay weve got a Wii kiosk up and going at the store I work at...mmm break time is gonna be so much more entertaining. And since I work overnight I wont have to deal with customers.

Dunno if its playable yet as I only saw a demonstration of all things the wii can do running.

....... is it playable? did you find out yet?

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Seen my score of the wii?

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

I was only there while they were setting it up I dont go back in for work til friday...tho I could just stop in during the day and see whats up.

I' m going to a 5 hour Ninentendo event this weekend in South Beach. I' m not sure what to expcet other than Wiis everywhere. Maybe this time I' ll have some fun with it compared to E3.

Do me a favor and check out Red Steel. If it sucks then i may just blow Wii off and focus on 360 this Christmas. Obviously i want Twilight Princess but if there' s nothing else decent on the platform until next year then i' d get the Gamecube version instead.

I really want Red Steel to be good...

Aren' t you forgeting Excite Truck Majik. And isn' t Twilight Princess enough of a reason to get a Wii at launch!

Did you watch the newest episode of the 1up show? It discusse Halo3, Zelda TP, Gears of War, Yoshi' s Island DS, and Red Steel. What they show doesnt impress. The aim looks sloppy and the graphics look about as good as N64 GoldenEye.

Im sorta losing my respect for 1up though, as 2 of their people bashed Yoshis Island DS over nothing, and they seemed like they were trying to push Red Steel dispite it being mediocre, I mean for Christs sake, they brushed aside hard to aim as a " minor annoyance" in a FPS!

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Betcha' money it is. My brother (Die_Hounderdoggen) & I had the distinct pleasure of being the first customers to try the one out in my local EB. They asked for a Govt. ID of some kind. (Social Security/Drivers Liscence) & I traded that in for a Wiimote. When I was done, I traded it back.

My first impressions with the Wii:

First off, it' s a little strange being one of the first people to actually try out the Wii on the forums, just thought I' d get that out of the way.

The Wiimote: I' d heard complaints about it being a little too heavy, but I thought the size/weight was absolutely perfect. I don' t have huge hands & it accomidated me nicely. The rumble was actually better than I thought, I' ll touch more on this later. I found NO PROBLEMS I' ll say that again, NO PROBLEMS With lighting & the sensor bar/Wiimote. My brother & I both shone bright LED flashlights into the sensor bar at the same time, & we still had almost no problems. Rumour debunked.

The Wii Console: The Wii was suprisingly quite quiet. I expected the fans to have to compensate pretty badly for the space issues, but it was pretty dang quiet. The interface was smooth & easy to navigate once I toned down the sensitivity. You' d have to be on serious amounts of dope to not jitter with the default settings. Mii channel was working & I have to say, I' m pretty impressed, I spent as much time on the little character creator as I did Excite Truck.

Excite Truck: I started up the Wii & got my first taste of the new control scheme. My first reaction was to overexaggerate every single movement, but I found myself spinning out of control, into trees, & off of cliffs. It requred only subtle wrist movements to control my truck. The visuals had their ups & downs. The actual earth portion was quite nice, & the textures were crisp. But the tree' s branches in the Dublin map were X-shaped. You don' t notice it from the ground, but it looks kinda ugly from the air. Running through one icon gave you a huge speed boost, & running into another shot a huge mound of dirt up from the ground for you to jump over. The single player was entertaining, but it was the multiplayer that really shone.

That' s all I can think of at the moment. I' m heading back there a little later today.

Does anyone know if there are any Wii kiosks up in London?

Thanks for the insight Eddie, look forward to more info regarding your hands on exprience with Wii. Have you tried Wii sports yet?

Nope, all I could try was Excite Truck, which was disappointing, because if the console was already out, I' m not sure I' d touch it. But, something made me spend another hour up there today putzing around on Mii channel again.

I might post further tomorrow.

I saw a booth with a Wii but it wasn' t playing any games and there wasn' t any controllers connected to it, on the screen above was a video being played, in the video a nitendo girl named susan pretty much explains what the wii is about and all that.

Ya thats about all I saw...:( A friggin wii just sitting there but cant do a dman thing but watch te video over and over again...

They don' t have the ' motes attatched to the console. I had to get ' em from behind the counter.

I' d tap Susan.
