I got a WiiDecember 8th, 2006 |
First impressions:
My arm hurt as much after playing for an hour as it does after playing racquetball for an hour.
They should have included a real case for the Wii Sports game.
Setting up the network was a pain in the ass. Various errors between 52000-52099, plus 320-whatever-it-was. I ended up having to manually enter all DNS, MTU, gateway, etc info, manually assign an IP, and change the router’s channel to 11.
Miis are excellent. Really, really excellent.
On the other hand, friend codes are stupid. Why not an alphanumeric name?
Wii Sports is the only game I have. It’s a lot of fun, and feels surprisingly “real.”
How many channels do they intend to have? When you go look at the front page, there’s six channels there now, and THREE PAGES of channels to be added. Yikes.
There’s nothing on the Virtual Console that I feel the urge to buy.
All in all, it rocks. But I also then went and booted up the 360 afterwards to see what was new on Live Arcade. I think I need some more games for the Wii.
