Still like your wii?

For those of you who have had your wii for a wiile (couldn't help it), I was wondering if you still play it a lot and still think highly of it. I am thinking of getting one because I played wii sports Bowling over the weekend and had a blast. Are you all still thinking it is awesome, or has the initial thrill worn off?

i got my wii from launch day and i'm STILL trying to beat zelda. it's so frustrating and fun at the same time. and when i need to take a break from that game, i got excite truck, wii sports, and elebits to keep me occupied.

so yes, i'm still playing.

Still Good. I'd play more if I didn't have a 6 month old puppy to take care of.

Wow really? I got my Wii less then 2 weeks ago. I'm on the last dungeon. Got there lastnight. One more to go and it's done. Will be the first game I have played to completion... Ever.

We got ours on launch day.

I found the other night I suck at Zelda. I hate goblin/green dudes riding on pigs.

We still love it. Rayman, sports and even rampage get played alot here.

Wii's back in stock

You might want to try a Meijer's if you have them in your area. My buddy and I went looking for a Wii for him over the weekend. Last place we went was to a local Meijer's. They had none on display, but when asked, they said yes and he finally got one.

As for still playing our Wii. Yes, my kids play it every night after homework is done. At this time, Super Monkey Ball is the preferred game for the kids. I like Zelda and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Madden was just too complex for me and my 6 y/o to enjoy.

Thank you tgjohns and welcome to G|A. I don't have a Meijer's in my hood but thanks for the advice. I just have to be diligent I suppose.

Meijer's seem to be the place to find them. I had a co-worker get one there last week.

after beating Zelda, I haven't touched my wii ( ) for weeks. its a great party machine, but not so much for single player fun (well, until Metroid is released...)

i DO still like my wii - and i havent even opened the box yet!

ive been playing with a bunch of friends from work after hours. complete with beer, chips, wings, and pizza!

grown men playing video games...

damn, that little thing's fun!

i plan on opening it AFTER i move in to my house. just no room in my tiny apartment right now. hook it up to a cheapass projector, aim it at one of my walls, and VOILA! i got a hugeass screen to play with, and no expensive TV to damage if the controller slips out of my (or other people's!) hands.

my little housewarming gift to myself.

In about 4-5 hours I'm going to be standing outside of Target before they open. Said to have at least 24 units at my location. 7am they'll hand out tickets.

Awesome. Hope you get one. They are worth it. The only complaint I have right now is that they don't have a ton of games that I want to play. Although I looked at their coming up titles and there are a few that I hope are cool. Although I liked Zelda a lot, and Rayman is fun in a group.

SCORE!

Got there at 4am with about 3 other cars already there. Someone decided to get out of their car around 5am so we all booked it for spots at the door. My bro and I then sat in folding chairs wrapped in blankets wearing coats, hats, and facemasks until they finally passed out tickets at around 7am. Went in as the doors opened at 8am and picked my beloved Wii up.

congrats!!!!

i got mine at a Gamestop last monday. they had 5.
one of my buddies at work calls me up on his dayoff and tells me he JUST got his at a gamestop close to his apartment. this was 30 mins before i was off the clock. As soon as was out, i got there in 10 minutes, went in and in under 5 mins, got out with a Wii in a bag. Talk about FAST transaction!

SCORE!!!!

I just happened upon a Wii today. My and the Fiance just had Dim Sum and after went to a Target in HB. Walked around and then came to the electronic area. Well I could not believe my eyes. 8 Wiis. While we figured out if we wanted it or not, some kid also saw it, and hyper ventilated. His mom bought him one and he was still breathing fast and hard.... sheesh. So we ended up getting the Wii.

Part two. We started the great Wiimote and Nunchuck hunt. Three different targets nothing. Toys R Us, nothing. Games 4 less. Well I got there, but some bastard (lucky) infront of me picked up the last two remote and nunchuck (he paid 45 for the wiimotes and 30 for the chucks). I thought I was out of luck. Called the closest Blockbuster to me and the girl said that they only had chucks (30 bucks). With this stuff being hard to find I figured why nto, might as well pick up the chucks. Got there, no chucks. What they actually had were two WiiMotes. Picked em up for 40 a pop. Now I can play Wii sports with the Fiance .... umm after I set it up and what not... yawn

Is this the Greatlands target near the BMW or some fancy car place and near best buys? Sorry been to Columbus once and only two one of the targets. But I did pass another one that was near a post office.
