Batteries the CRISIS!
Do they tether the remotes to the kiosks or are there Yamauchi ninjas standing guard at each one?

The new generation of gaming has arrived, and you can experience it at Nintendo World on November 4, 2006!

Wii, Nintendo’s revolutionary new console, launches on Nov. 19, but we’ve set up 12 stations where you can get a sneak peek of some of the coolest games for Wii, including the enormously fun Wii Sports and Excite Truck!

To celebrate, we’re throwing a Wii party Nov. 4 from 9a.m. - 9 p.m. Come check out the newest innovation in gaming and enter to win some great prizes! The Wii demo stations are here to stay, but the Wii giveaway is on Nov. 4 only, so take the day and come join the party!

So likely more games than Excite Truck and Wii Sports but probably not TP, MP3. I have no idea. But 12 stations is awesome.

thanks for the laugh
Yeh, but then people started dicking it around. If you try more than once to post a new thread before you've hit the 1000 mark you get a permaban now too.

No, after the year was up, you'd have to square off with another junior member in a knife fight. Winner gets topic priveleges.

Ainnem, I'll be seeing you in the ring.

I meant to post this earlier but I was @ gamestop today when a man came in pushing a large rectangular box on a pulley with the words Nintendo on the side... it was obviously the kiosk..the store errupted in YESSH!! by the manager and some bystanders.
Sadly the unit didnt have controllers so the manager there said that the Nin rep would have to put it together... :)

I would have taken pics but i didnt have my damn cell phone... curses!!

Mine said they'll have it up by next week and PS3 by the 14th. I ain't going to play them till launch though, its like looking at the spoilers to a game for me.(But if Galaxy is somehow demo'd I will have to play it)

The controllers are also not going to be tethered to the system. An EB/GS employee has to hand them to you and demonstrate. Basically, it's going to be tough to try and play the thing. Not too many employees are going to want to show the thing off to every single customer.

lol why would you go scouting for demo wii units

To see if the system is worth buying? I plan on buying one, but I would like to test it out first to see if the control is actually worth a crap.

"the enormously fun Wii Sports and Excite Truck"

:lol

I'm not saying the games aren't fun; I've played both, and they are.

But wow, just wow, on the PR speak.

I don't think people realize how much GameStop and BestBuy actually helped the original Xbox.
