Sarcasm, apparently, doesn't reach those who practice it.

standard line of defense when confronted, but we know people like you aren't really been sarcastic. Just disingenious.

Just put down my Wii preorder... 7th of December for us Aussies. Ah well, it could be worse, like March 2007.
 
I'm really glad Nintendo is starting to get their Internet stuff down. The messaging, and universal codes and the online play relaunch will be hot. I cant wait to play FF:CC on this sucker, the prequel was my favorite console co-op game ever.

Yes, but I don't troll against Sony. At least not that I know of...

:lol With Phil Harrison's reluctance to commit Sony to March 2007, don't be surprised if 2007 is the Summer of Sony in Europe and the rest of PAL land...
 
Its so close to launch now. Hopefully I can get one a launch. I dont have the money, so im going to have to ask my parents to lend me some so that I can buy it. Im not spending too much, Im just planning to buy a wii, a classic controller, an extra nun-chuck controller and Zelda: TP.
 
the reason i haven't stickied this thread is because there are fifty stickies... i am trying to see which is best to remove. Unfortunately, they ALL seem relevant in some way :lol

well, what's the point of having the zelda one up there if it's locked anyway?

It's there for a reason, although I'm not sure I'm allowed to say. You can probably figure it out pretty easily when you read the post :D
 
oh i see, the thread will start off with the first review scores which will probably hit today or tomorrow.

Amir0x said:
hahahaha. No! It's pretty obvious guys just read the post and look at the images carefully ;)
zelda tp is cel-shaded now
 
Amir0x said:
Zelda:TP is cel-shaded (in that one awesome dimension where Zelda:TP is cel-shaded)
yeah that would be way too awesome. i thought you were yessing to the score part of my reply.

maybe the gc version is cel-shaded and that's why we're not getting any new media ZOMG!!

that would be so, so awesome. i would love to see a GAF where this happened :lol
 
i'll try again: new media for zelda gc, since link is still left-handed in the pics?

noooo... it's nothing like this. It's just
a joke because of the hubbub over the official Zelda thread

yeah i wasn't being serious. except for the scores thing. that would have made sense i guess.
 
So what games is everyone buying at launch?

Im just buying zelda. There would be no point of buying any other games because Im not too interested in them and if i did buy them they would be sitting on the shelf for ages because i will be too busyu with zelda.

As Seen on TV

Wii Would Like to Play: Wii's central ad campaign follows two friendly Japanese men who bring Wii to people's homes to demonstrate how easy and fun it is for everyone to play. Stephen Gaghan, who wrote the screenplay for and directed Syriana and won a best screenplay Oscar for writing Traffic, directed the four spots. The director of photography is John Seale, who won an Oscar for best cinematography on The English Patient and was nominated for Oscars for Rain Man, Cold Mountain and Witness. The spots begin airing the week of Nov. 13.

Nick @ Nite: Wii will be featured on the Nov. 24 Nick@Nite episode of Road Crew. The spots feature a family from Long Island that finally finds something they can all enjoy together - playing Wii.

Nickelodeon: A Wii ad begins Nov. 20. The 60-second spot shows a dad mistaking the Wii Remote for his television remote control. Dad becomes immersed in the fun, and soon the whole family joins in.

TeleFutura: Nintendo will be at November auditions in New York for the highly successful international singing competition show Objetivo Fama (Objective: Fame) to allow contestants to sample the Wii console and calm their pre-audition jitters.

Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and Discovery Kids Network: A feature scheduled to air in December showcases kids, parents and teachers sampling Wii at a school event and sharing their experiences.

I'm just getting Trauma Center and Zelda. I want to play a couple more but probably won't have the time.
 
Reserves in Spain are being cut, it seems that we're gonna get less units than before, some shops (game) have 150+ reserves, and are getting only 20 Wiis.

Edit: It seems that Game has canned all the reserves, they're gonna sell the units to the firstcomers, night-camping FTW.

Shoot, Im looking at 80 hours or more for Zelda:TP alone. I was very interested in Red Steel, Monkey Ball, and Trauma Center, but I dont really know too much about those games outside of comments here and there
