- SpanishBrowne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10wow, sarcasm, wow
- DjOverEZ, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12It may be because I get new information about it almost every day, but does it seem like there is a buzz about the Wii that hasn't been seen since Nintendo announced a system to replace the NES?
The buzz could also be my carbon monoxide detector going off but I highly dou........ - Gustomucho, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Shotgun!
- mbaguy4000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8If anyone here goes, bring back some pics.
- SpanishBrowne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Unfortunately the US wins.. cause they get it 2 weeks before us
- gage006, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6When will EB/Gamestop have their's up? I need my fix!
*twitch* - ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Holy crap, I wish I could digg your comment down multiple times...
- thedazman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The Nintendo people aren't very fond of cameras. They made me put mine up at the fusion tour, and ever yelled at people with camera phones to put them away. But good luck to those who bring cameras in hopes of scoring some pictures!

(since we're ~16h ahead of the US!) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Sure, I'll take pictures, submit my story, and get told how worthless my submission is.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6dammit, i thought this might have been for gamestops and EB's
oh well, something's better than nothing, eh? - auhsor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Normally I can let a few spelling mistakes slide, but seriously...
dose -> does
dident -> didn't
among others.
And the fact that you are quite off topic and I don't really know what you are trying to get at. I'm sorry but I'm going to bury :( - squelart, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Shhhh, you ruined my effect!
But yeah, that will be a loooong time to wait... I suppose in a way it's good, it will give us good 'real-world' reviews of the console and major games, before running to the store and maxing out the credit card. - NorCal702, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you went to the Nintendo Fusion tour Featuring Hawthorne heights the wii was playable there.
- guitarh3ro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I work for GameStop...unfortunately, I haven't heard a peep out of my boss about kiosk debut dates, but I personally expect to see some with in the next week and a half; if they didn't by then, I'd be shocked ;_;
Luckily, I already played the Wii! You guys, please check out this extremely detailed review of the Wii. It's actually very detailed, and not biased. It reviews 5 Wii games I was able to get my hands on, and goes over every thing from graphics to controller feel and much more. Here's the link:

Anyways, is there any news when there will be playable consoles at stores? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1EBGames said some stores sold out of pre-orders within the first hour! :o

- olskool88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hi, I'm a reporter with the Toronto Star. Really. I'm doing a story on Wii-related injuries or damage to household furniture/appliances. You've probably seen the stories, which I'll drop links to below, but I'm looking for someone in Toronto or surrounding area who has felt sore the next morning after playing the Wii, busted up their hand or knocked over a lamp, for example. If this is you, and this is open to pretty much anyone in Ontario, though the closer to Toronto the better, can you email me at mchung@thestar.ca? The story is due Thursday so I'd have to hear from you soon.

I was looking forward to being able to play before much of the public. :P - lucas448, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2your right i have bad spelling... the price to pay when you try to type too fast... its random and i don't really care+ I'm 15 so i have the right to do that... um what else... I've played every system almost (since 1991) and good graphics don't = good game. ps i know this is probably going to get burred... deep :(
