Apparently the problem is that the controllers you hold have a wrist strap of some sorts and people have been stood in front of the tv and waving these things about and the wrist support snaps and the controllers have been flying through peoples television screeens ;D :laugh:

I went to pick up a copy of the new Zelda game "Twilight Princess" for my gamecube this past week and the store I went to had Wii's on Wii's availible!
I think the Wii has some serious potential for boxing games. Still, it can't compare with the near life-like graphics that 360 and PS3 have for Fight Night Round 3
yeah got fightnight round 3 for the kids ;DQuote:

I didn't think that was going to be available on GC...
It was originally made for GC but they ported it to Wii. Then to encourage Wii sales they launched it with Wii and postponed the GC release until Dec. 12.Quote:

**btw that's just for the US. Im pretty sure its coming out for GC in UK as well but probably after a month or two delay
saddo you see it in the sun
some fella was playing on his, some beat em up game and his missus walked in front on him
he twatted her in the eye, not on purpose!!
biggest black eye ever! closed over with 1 punch.
she wont do it again though ;)
Was reading that earlier ;D
Im pretty intrigued with how the boxing one is gonna be because if the tennis one is anything to go by it's gonna be brilliant and the controllers very responsive to your movements.
Missus Smash has been Ordered to make a purchase for my Birthday 8)
re: things getting broken/people getting hit...
It just shows you how uncoordinated and unaware of their surroundings that sheeple are... and how weak their grips are... people are launching these things as hard as they can (for no good reason... it detects speed, not momentum) but with a weak grip... and are surprised when it goes flying out of their hands.
The general public really are retarded... has any one tried walking throw a shopping center.. it's awful especially round this time of year, it likes a mix between that lemmings game (retarded little creatures need to be guided to safety and march forwards oblivous to everything around them... ;D) and Dead Rising (1000s or mindless Zombies in a Mall ;D)
Speaking of which... I couldn't get a hold of a Wii till after christmas (it was ment to be me and my twin's Christmas/20th Birthday present but HMV welched on our Pre-Order and denied giving us the games they advertised in the bundle...) so I paid the different and we got an Xbox 360 instead.
Glad I did... when you look outside of Zelda (which is a Gamecube game anyway... they just tacked on Wii controls) theres only really a few party games like Wii Sports, Madden and Rayman... everything else looks and plays horrible from what I am hearing.
I'm getting Zelda for my Gamecube for christmas now... I played a Wii in GAME, pretty fun but I can wait till they come down in price tbh... other than Zelda theres nothing up coming that I HAVE to have... ;D
I got Dead Rising, PGR3 and Double agent and FNR3, getting Gears of War for Christmas.
The Wii will be fun for party games... but they've made it weak... really weak, despite it's fancy Shmancy controller... there are things that it can't do... Nintendo say that it's all about gameplay... and have said that teh Xbox 360 and PS3 are only about pretty colours and bells and whistles... not true.
You'll never see a game like dead rising with 1000s of Zombies on screen at a time, you'll never have the detail that fight night has... you can tell how damaged your fighter is and how tired they are just by looking at them.
Till I got my Xbox 360 (which I was gonna get any way at some point because games like Resident evil 5 and grand theft auto 4 won't be coming to the Wii... at least not properly... it'll just get crappy ports... like how splinter cell was fugly on the gamecube) I bought into what Nintendo where saying... but it's not true... they should of made the hardware more powerfull (it barely beats the gamecube, or so I am told) and given it an original controller... there is still a lot that a powerful machine can do... not just fancy graphics. Giant worlds... physics etc...
I've always had a Nintendo and will get a Wii, but in the long run I think they may have fucked up here, outside of party games like Warioware etc I can't see them doing to well.
hate to break it to you Smash but I heard that the boxing is the worst on that Wii sports thing... :/ Once you've brought all the spare controllers and Nunchuch add ons, you'll have probably paid what it would cost you for a hard drive, an Xbox and a copy of FNR3 ;)
Jesus ^that was a long post... what a fucking nerd :P
Always like to research these things before I buy them you see... ;) Currently wasting my time looking for an HDTV... gonna sell my old one and get an HD one... reckon I might be able to sell my TV for 150 and then buy a cheap one off ebay I am watching for £200.
Then I can buy the HD DVD player for the Xbox at some point (possibly... the fan is LOUD), might just wait to see which DVD format wins and wait for the players to become cheap.
tell ur kids to be careful saddo see something in the paper where 100s have got injured by the strap on controller or something so tell them to be careful when u get them it
I'm sure Twilight Princess is a much better game on the Cube than it is on Wii. Swinging that controller around is bullshit.
12 year old children suffer with carpal tunnel syndrome... that's the next years headline.
ALl I don't like about Twighlight princess on the Wii is that the only control you have over the camera is by pulling the trigger on the Wiimote and making it go behind you...
If I'm riding through a giant feild with canyons... mountains and rolling hills etc... I want to be able to look around.
Did any one play the Ocarina of time or Majora's mask? great 3D zeldas... would have been loads better if you had had a second analouge stick like the gamecube... one for moving and one for the camera...
The Wind Waker wasn't as good but having control over the camera was great for fighting, looking around dungeons or just enjoying the scenery.
I'm sure they could of managed to get two analouge sticks onto the Wii some how.
OK got one joined the massive que at toys r us this morning at 7.00 the joker of a manager came out at 7.10 to give what tickets he had and intead of just ging through the que first to last to give out the tickets he got everyone to gather around him thus losing the order of the que that i was at the back of but his speech didnt sound like he had alot i was at the end of the que thus at the back of the surrounding crowd so i walked around to his side and said giz one of them mate ive been here for F****** hours so he did hahahaha there was tons told that was it and had to F*** off after quing for ages with F*** all the dummys :o
i now have a Wii and am well made up still feel abit guilty but F*** them suvivel of the fittest i say ;D
got 4 games with it and an extra controler from another shop 8)
