Nintendo Wii News | We Got Wii

By James Temperton 02.12.2006 44

The Wii is, put simply, lovely. It looks great, it sounds great, it does all these cute little things and it is just so utterly adorable that we want to look after it until it is big enough and strong enough to look after itself. That said, the Wii is also a beast of engineering and innovation. We've had our unit since 10am today and we've been smiling ever since. We'll have a full review of the hardware along with a video report tomorrow, but for now join us for some photography (some of which you'll have to tilt your head to look at, enjoy...

Stay tuned to C3 as we review the Wii hardware, Wii Sports, Wii Play and Zelda in the coming days!

Still angry......grrrrrrr
did you get it for free or did you have to pay!?!?!?

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Good luck finding me, even people with Satellite Navigation have failed. We get Wii Sports with the Wii, but unlike in the USA we get a proper box for it Smilie Nice to know someone else has my impeccable taste in bedding! Moving swiftly on...

Awesome! Being a PAL Wii,does it ask you about 50/60hz nonsense?

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

When you place the disks in, does the console suck it in, or do you have to push it in all the way??

What did you actually get with it altogether?

You just kind of offer the disk up to the slot and then it slides itself in, very neat, you don't have tom push at all. Nicely made disk mechanism really. I got Wii Sports, Wii Play and Zelda with the review unit, more than enough to keep me entertained!

Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

This is the exact bundle i am also getting.

Hey tempo, do you think that you could get more shots of the Gamecube ports on top when a Wavebird Receiver is plugged in. Does it stick out weirdly and can you lie it down with the Gamecube stuff in there.

Thanks Smilie

Also u lucky CUNT!
