awsome mate!!! hooray!
Waiting for Wii was scary with hobos, drunks and fanboys but making the trip home was inevitably even scarier knowing I my precious Wii could have been taken by a mugger hiding in the darker areas. However more people were interested in the free 15
According to IGN about the first 1-2 hours of Twilight princess isn't that good...but after that it becomes like "ZOMG teh beast!!!!!111"
So far i've had 5 mins on wii tennis....and thats it
I want a WII!!!!!!!!
i hate everyone who already has a wii.
...yew bastard?
Awesome write-up, Flynnie.
And what's dissapointing about Zelda?
Yup, nice one Flynnie.

I got Wii yesterday, I wasn't lucky enough to get one at midnight however, I woke up at 5AM in the morning & then left to go to Truro (the local city) at 6AM, then I arrived at 6:45 & spent 15 mins in the rain, but OH WAS IT WORTH IT. They only had 40 Nunchucks in stock, & you couldn't preorder them, so queing was worth it, to think that if I had gone any later, I wouldn't have gotten a Nunchuck!? The horror! So I left the shop with:
A Wii
Wii Play
2 Wiimotes
2 Nunchucks
Wii Sports
Zelda
Yoshi's Island DS
Also, I won the raffle! So I got a copy of NSMB signed by Charles Martinet! (I already have the game so I'm giving my old box away with the new game )
Jammy sod superlink.
My gamestation only had 1 Wiimote per customer, so I have to get mine today.
Other than that It's been amazing.
So, you couldn't even get Wii Play?
I didn't buy any extra controllers, it was one Wiimote & Nunchuck per person, but I just got an extra Wiimote with Wii Play

No really.
For a tenner?
Actually, I was thinking of giving it to a friend for free
Thinking you say? It's an overrated pastime. Allow me -
Tenner from artmonkey+artmonkey's newfound friendship and respect>nothing from no-one+kicking self when 'friend' ebays copy of NSMB.
The sums speak for themselves.
On topic, nice one Flynnie. Any pics of the Nintendo reps? I want to compare them to Sega ones.
All I have to say is that I got a Wii, Wii Play and Monkey Ball, for queuing only 2 hours at midnight, with NO PREORDER.
*giggles* ^^

Yea i had hoped that the Wii Tennis would be a bit better but it doesnt seem to offer much. Its quite annoying. However the other Wii sports are great. If anything Wii Tennis is the worst of Wii Sports

It just doesnt feel magical....albeit i have not given it enough time. I think my expectations far surpass the actual game. It could still be good. Infact you get a good treat in the first couple of mins.

How lucky, i went back into Gamestation on friday daytime to look for another game , perhaps Call of Duty or Red Steel. Perhaps some one who has both could tell me which is better? I wanted a nunchuck but they sold out of pretty much everything. Wii motes, TV cables, Nunchucks etc. They still had Zelda in stock though...
I got to meet Charles Martinet! So

Unfortunately i never thought about writing up until later on in the morning. So i didnt snap any pics. I should have talked to GOD before i left and taken my Digi Cam. Shame i know. Let me tell you though there was one or two fitties, the others were meh.

Me too No preorder. Although double that waiting time, Ohh well still same result!
I'm waiting in my nice warm house for a whoop-off stupid Parcelforce van to pull up. I reckon it wont come till Tuesday now. They really are the worst company in the world.
awww unlucky mate! from where did you order your Wiiiiiiii

Amazon, but it's not thier fault because they dispatched it on time. It's Parcelforce fault and they haven't even tryed to attempt to deliver it, it's just been sitting in the depot since 5:00am Friday mornig and hasn't moved since. It was ment to come last Friday (8th launch day of the Wii) as well, but now it's looking more like Tuesday.
