Played Wii last night

[skdr]

... and it was awesome!

Seriously, the controller feels so good, it's very sensitive, smooth, easy to use, easy to handle etc.

Played Wii Sports, Wii play, that Mario soccer game. Saw Metroid, Mario, Zelda (Zelda looks soooo good even with Wii's "low res" gfx display).

No doubt, definitely getting this one! Few pics from the event:

nice, thanks for the pics

is every game with motions, or can you just sit and relax and play like with an old controler

[atrocity]

wow thats awesome, nice pics by the way. Mario still living up to him self?

Mario Galaxy definitely is designed for the Wii, with the Wii controller in mind. It's already a great game and it's not even finished.

There are some games that will only require you to play as with a "normal" controller, save you still can tilt the controller forward or sidewise to control your character (Tony Hawk comes to mind).

The Wii booths are the same everywhere it seems, the event in Paris this past week end had the exact same columns upon which the Wii was displayed

I was looking forward to play Red Steel but it wasnt there.

One of the Metroid's boss battle looks just awesome. I can't wait to play these games with our Sony Bravia HD display

it might just be the grainy photo, but the guy with the wii shirt in the last picture has a striking resemblance to... me

[ReNo]

Ahahahaha, I was just about to comment that he looks ultra-camp with that pose, facial expression, and Wii-shirt combo

How good is the Wii gonna look on HD screens by the way? I only ask, because the PS2 and Xbox games I tested on mine looked really poor, and I don't want the Wii to suffer the same fate. Will component cables make a big difference? Would they also make a big difference for my old consoles?

Zelda looked absolutely fantastic on a VERY big screen (third pic) and it was a HD display.

[Bic-B@ll]

Helsinki, Finland.

I just played Excite Truck on one of the two Wii kiosks in the local GameStop at the mall. The controls were really cool. It took me about 15 seconds to get the hang of it. The game feels very much like Burnout. I generally don't like racing games that much, but this was fun.

For all you GBXers, that's Collin Creek Mall.

Cool~only one month left for us Euro folks too ~

[Steppenwolf]

hahahaha

Actualy i didn't liked the controls when i played it at the games convention

It felt like it was made for kids and on the other hand i thought it would be really physicaly strenous to play with that for hours.

Well at least we will see less fat gaming kids in the future.
