Needless to say, I won't be posting from Novemeber 19 till ... whenever. Most of this gaming will be done naked, because that's how Nintendo is supposed to be played. Who else is in besides elpmis?
 
I might have to check it out...is there a new mario game or kart game in the 1st out titles? if so, I'm sold
 
This forum can pretty much assume as of November 19th I'm officially retiring from 'frequent' forum activity.

Nope.

As far as big name Nintendo icon game coming with the launch there is only Zelda.

The first Wii Mario game (Super Mario Galaxy) won't be out till 2007

zelda might be enough to sell me...haven't been too keen on the last couple though...have to look into it first
 
is this going to be something that will sell out nationwide the first day? should I buy 20 of them and make a zillion $'s on ebay?

I think there will be initial issues

Microsoft shipped 350,000 Xbox 360s to North America at launch. So Wii will be about as hard to get as a 360 on launch day (no doubt Nintendo will be much better at getting retailers restocked). Wii is also launching on a weekend... which means more people will able to get in line earlier.

Perhaps you missed the 4M units delievered between launch and Dec. 31. I don't think it'll be a problem to get one.

My post was more specifically directed towards launch date, but you're right, I didn't read about 4 million in a month and a half

doubt there will be ebay sales like with the 360

kinda looks like oblivion :confused:
Sure, but it's gonna play like Zelda. Plus it has the big fucking "NINTENDO" seal on it. That guarantees immediate liquid explosion in pants.
