Sucks.

So first opinions on the console? Saw all the news reports about the console selling out completely in the first few hours right across the UK. Looks like Nintendo are onto a winner with this one.

Only played for a bit yesterday (was out friday night and today)

Wii Play: great introduction to "how to use the controller"
Wii Sports: fun games. Tennis/Bowling are good two player. Boxing is fun 1 player but weird 2 player you cant really see whats going on.
Rayman: hilarious

I can't wait for the first lawsuit:

"I threw my controller and hit my wife in the head so Nintendo should give me eleventy billion dollars"

Every game starts with a big screen saying make sure its strapped on and no ones around you and you are interrupted quite a bit on loading screens if playing for a while to go take a break. Any strap faults should obviously be sorted but if someone has played for 4 hours and the controller flies 3 inches out of their sweaty hands and breaks a glass then its their own fault.

Edit:
Seeing the furore over Sonys viral marketing campaign for the PSP someone pointed out this Wii ad as an actual attempt to sell a console

That link is a belter, some of the comments are classic.

This shit is stupid, humans are humans, shit is gonna happen no matter what you sell to them. if its a XBOX 360, well one kid might use the remote to SMASH his brothers face cuz he is teasing him.... wtf does that have to do with the manufacturer???

@ the fucking media...
Use your air time to talk about shit we care, like the thousands being raped and killed in sudan, palestine, chechenya, Iraq, the numerous social injustices in the u.s. canada and around the whole fucking world... tsk tsk...puppets.

Had a shot, the gimmick got boring quickly. Not played the Zelda game yet though.

I'd rather sit down to play a game, to be honest.
