Is anybody going to the DigiExpo (3. - 5.11.) this year? I watched Tilt.tv on wednesday evening and it mentioned that you could try PS3 (and very likely Nintendo Wii) games over there...

I'm working there every day, for Amo/Nintendo.


I believe PS3 hands-on would take a lot of waiting, there are only a few of them there, in a closed booth or something.


But there are 12 Wiis there, with 2 Zeldas, 2 Marios, Metroid Prime 3, ExciteTruck, Wii Play, Wii Sports and Wario Ware.

There are some technical difficulties with the environment, but you'll get the idea behind Wii...

Did everyone buy a Wii already? I sure did 8)
Congratulations! :) Was it worth the long wait? Could you tell us some more impressions about the Wii and it's games?

I was intrested in the Wii a while ago, but after giving it some more thought I decided to be patient and not to buy it yet. There are still a few AES games that I want to buy in the near future and for me the Wii doesn't yet have the "must-have" game. I hope that the next SNKP arcade games (KoF XII, Samurai Shodown 3D) will be released for the Wii. The virtual console would be great for me since I don't have any of the VC's supported consoles. How much do the Wii points cost if you buy them online?

1000 Wii Points for 10€. I don't find that nice though, because I wanted to buy one PC Engine game and they cost 600 points, but you can't buy 600 points, you have to buy a thousand so you'll have 400 extra points left. And you can only use those points if you buy a thousand more points, as the cheapest games are NES games for 500 points. Also there's the PAL issue of VC, which means games will be as sweet as we remember them to be, in their 50 hz slowliness and black borders, and we'll never get games that haven't been released in our region. Some games are supposedly as good as the NTSC versions but not most.

I'm really enjoying the Wii, as I play it with my family (Wii Sports) and Zelda is a really great game. Then again, Zelda is available for Gamecube too. Might be better to wait for a lot more games to arrive and the price is sure to drop at some point to 199 or less. Worth the wait? Hell yes, I've been salivating over it as soon as the controller was revealed ^^ And the controller at least sure doesn't disappoint. We just need more games now!

The Wii Points seem to be cheaper if you buy them online. Wii Points Cards (2000 Wii Points) cost 24,90€ at Stockmann and 22,90€ at Verkkokauppa.com.

I hope the difference isn't too bad... I'll have to see that for myself.

Is there any delay when you use the Wii Remote to for example aim at something? Can you use the Wii Remote to play Virtual Console games?

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I got a Wii :D Happy Me!!

I walked into a Tilt (while waiting for one buddy to come back from another shop) and just asked the shop keeper, out of curiosity, what the wait time for getting a Wii was... he walked behind the counter and said 'well, not so very long', and pulled out a Wii... needless to say I bought it on the spot with Wii Play and an extra nun-chuck.
