Wii

For the first time I finally saw some Wiis in a store (Walmart). I think it actually took longer last year before I ever saw an Xbox 360. I'm curious enough to probably go back to Walmart tonight and see if any are left or if they still get gobbled up quickly.

Must...resist...the siren's call...of Wiis in Wal-Mart...

Luckily there are like NO Wal-Marts arond here, the nearest one is like fifteen miles away or something. We're an anamoly.

As if Wal-Mart is less evil than Gamestop/EB...

I went to about five stores in Lexington today to try to find a Wii. No luck :(

 

Too bad for them because I planned on buying the system, 1 or 2 of the nunchucks, Wii Play, Zelda, & maybe the classic controller. But alas...

How is it that there isn't enough stock for this system.. still? I'm starting to wonder why Nintendo doesn't just offer the ability to order the console online directly from them.

I rented Wii Play today and they forgot to put the game into the damn case. (since they lock up the video games)

 

Renting game cases, the business venture of the future!

I picked up a Classic Controller over the weekend. Does anyone know why it looks like it can snap onto something? The button on the top middle looks to release it from whatever it may or may not connect to..

Use itrackr.

 

Wait until Target/Circuit City gets any (EB and Gamestop's inventory is wrong and useless, don't bother with them).

 

They'll usually put them on the shelves 15-30 minutes later, so you don't even have to hurry.

:) I have it open on my browser right now so...

 

Sadly 1/23 stores "have" Wii's, the 1 being a EB in Wheaton that has "had" one all weekend, despite not having it on Friday.

 

I'm tryin'!

Is New Adventure Island more like NES Adventure Island 1, or more like NES Adventure Island 2&3?

 

Edit: Looks like its similiar to Adventure Island 1. Boo. I'll still probably buy it when I get home.

I'm guessing soon we're getting Donkey Kong Country

 

Yeeeeeeeeah, who called it?

 

Make sure to have your umbrellas ready while browsing game websites this week, to protect you from the collective pissing and moaning about DKC from the gaming press.

 

In case you didn't get the memo, you're not allowed to like the game, since Miyamoto once expressed disgust over it.

So here's the story:

 

I hear that an FYE in Wheaton, MD has one.

 

I am in College park, MD.

 

Basically if DC is a clock, I have to go from say Two o clock to One o clock, maybe Twelve thirty.

 

Maybe eight miles.

 

Took about an hour. Missed the unit by half an hour. Should never have tried :(

 

Tried all kinds of stores in the local mall, BBuy in the area.

 

Nothing.

 

Oh well, I had to try.

I've already seen the game described as varying degrees of overrated in three seperate stories.

yeah, I recently gave it another whirl on my emulator and I'm just not feeling it like I did back in the day...I spent hours upon hours trying to get all those damn DK coins, I think I ended up 3 short.
