Wii thread

Eric's sister gave us her Wii fit.  I rock at the hula hoop. 

We also had to make a list for his dad of what we wanted for Christmas, we asked for the Wii Resort game.  My bff has it and we played it the other week.  It was fun.  I was pretty good at wake boarding.  Otherwise we don't really play Wii.  So hopefully if we get the Wii Resort we'll use it more.  I like the Fit, but, only for the games.  I'm not about to try to do the strength training stuff on there.  Oh, and I'm 40 in Wii fit years.  I just turned 31.  :lol:

I remember reading that you're working there for the holiday, but I think Toys R Us was one of the places that had the Wii Resort with the 2 motion controllers for $65.  I think that's how much it was.  That's where my friend got hers from.  That's a freaking steal.

Yes we did but i dont have Wii so unfortunately that deal didnt pertain to me. :-(

If you do have DS though they have select games that are 2 for $40 and theyre pretty new games too, not old shit ones.

Guitar Hero World Tour comes with all that too.

I'm rather fond of Wii Archery (and quite proficient now, too). :2smiley:

Anybody else playing Super Mario Bros. Wii?

We just got it for the family room and pretty much all of us are addicted.

I'm pretty shitty myself at it but Cake is kicking ass. He is so awesome at video games. It's so hot watching him beat the castles

All Cake talk right there. I caught him crying over the damn game around 330am. Don't let him fool you. He keeps waking up me up to beat levels for him.

I havent played it but that game sold like motherfucking hotcakes from the day it dropped a month plus ago through yesterday.  All ive heard and read were great fucking things about it.  From overlistening to other employees and customers, its along the lines of the original Mario Bros game with insanely better graphics, 4 player mode and different side activites you can do.  Yea we naturally sold out for the better part of the week leading up to X-Mas.  Then we got a last batch of like 100 of them two days before Christmas and they were all gone within the next 24 hours, lol.

my sister got this game for me for Christmas. she said she had the hardest time finding it. Bitch kept killing me by throwing me off the ledges and stuff. by world two, I had used like 80 lives. And in the first world, a goomba killed my yoshi and i got pissed and threw the remote at the tv.

it's actually my favorite game at the moment.

My husband is calling around looking for a Wii. There is not ONE to be found in Flag. He called GameStop and the guy was a total dick. He said, "I'm busy, now do you have an important question?"

My husband told me to call back and ask for BattleToads.  :lol:

I know the Flag GameStop has one, too. I took a pic of it when I was there. It's not for sale, though.

[/quote]I don't ever play it, but I actually have to send it in.  It can read what the game is on the home channel, but when I click on it the screen goes black.  I had pretty good success yesterday with Microsoft on the phone so I may have to talk to Nintendo this next week.  I've got 8 games and 20 something downloaded games, yet I'm always on my 360.

All of my kids are gamers. I am just an Atari kind of girl.

My younger ones play the Funkeys. That shit is pretty cool. It's for the pc, but has this thing that plugs into the usb. They like to stay on that thing as long as I will let them.

[/quote]I'm a little bit of an achievement whore on 360 and the online play is great.  I've played all the major games on Wii and even though Mario Galaxy 2 comes out in May followed by the new Metroid game I still don't have much interest in it.

We got big brain academy. I got so frustrated at it I almost put the wiimote thru my TV.  :2angry:

Resurrecting this thread to ask: have any of you Wii owners got any of the fitness games/packages and if so do you actually use them or think they're value for money?

I haven't personally bought them, but I have had friends and roommates that have. Basically you'll buy it, use it for maybe a week then it will sit around unused until someone comes over and wants to give it a try. It will go unused again after that. It's much more easy to just go out and go for a walk.
