Who's got a Wii?
Archive: 80 posts
| Hi all! One day i went to McDonalds and they were doing the Monoply game thingy where you peel off labels to win food and prizes. Well one day i peeled a label off my chips and it said "Instant win, Wii and 3 EA Games". I screamed and was like OMG is this real lol. Well it was and i have just received my Wii in the post today  I was wondering if anyone else had one because i have a question! I know that you can play online with the Wii and you can give your friends/family your code to add so that you can play together. But say if i added one of my friends from America, how would i know when their online to play? Is there a messaging system like psn messaging? I will look more into it when i get home from work and set it up but i was wondering if anyone had some information. Thanks in advance  <3 | 2010-05-25 14:59:00 Author: Fenderjt  Posts: 1969 |
I do, but I've never really bothered to set up the online thing because I almost never play it. I mean, it's obviously a cool thing to have (especially if you didn't pay for it  ) but it's not super fun unless you're playing with friends. | 2010-05-25 16:24:00 Author: thekevinexpress  Posts: 256 |
| I gotz one, never played online tho | 2010-05-25 16:32:00 Author: springs86  Posts: 785 |
I've got one, gathering dust like it has been for probably over a year now. Honestly the thing just doesn't excite me at all, the games I find boring. Maybe I'm just not a fan of waving my arms around. Majority of the games you do that. I've played mario kart online and it was fun while it lasted, I think you can see when friends are online from whatever game it is say mario kart there is an online menu with maybe a bit saying friends online can't vouch for it. Messaging there is a message box.. you get messages to yourself like how long you played etc and you can send yourself messages.. so why on earth you wouldn't be able to receive messages from other users is beyond me so I'd imagine the answer is yes. But again I can't say, I wouldn't be surprised if your only allowed to communicate with yourself.. Somehow I have to be wired online these days when gaming, it's just not as fun otherwise, it's very strange.. but I think the wii is the weakest for me in terms of online so I don't bother with it. It just doesn't have any games that made me say wow. It is more of a multiplayer console and requires a certain level of fun within oneself to enjoy it. As you call yourself a funky fun gal I think you will have a blast with it even if only maybe for 5 mins lol  I mope around most of the time so it REALLY is not up my street lol | 2010-05-25 16:38:00 Author: OneEyedBanshee  Posts: 1370 |
| Fender, that is incredibly awesome that you won a wii. Unfortunately, the online leaves a lot to be desired. It certainly doesn't work like psn or xbox live. I've never successfully played online with anyone. Mine is mostly sitting in my cabinet collecting dust. Wii sports was fun for about a month. So was wario ware. | 2010-05-25 16:43:00 Author: xkappax  Posts: 2569 |
| Yes, wii got one. hardly use it though, but when I do it's for things I'd rather not mention | 2010-05-25 16:46:00 Author: oldage  Posts: 2824 |
| honestly, my advice is to sell it and buy a dsi (if you don't already own one) | 2010-05-25 16:54:00 Author: flamingemu  Posts: 1872 |
| I own one, though I mainly use it for retro games. (Mega Man) Though I plan to sell it off to relative to buy a PS3. | 2010-05-25 17:08:00 Author: Fastbro  Posts: 1277 |
Well erm lol reading all of your responses i dont feel excited about going home and playing it now!  The thing is i only go on my ps3 weekends so i want something to use in the week. I have a ps2 and a dsi etc but i thought the Wii would be good. Ive got the game animal crossing and im guessing you dont have to swing your arms about with that much so thats cool. Im also going to get the dance matt game and dance about with my sister to lose weight HA! Ive always thought of the Wii not to be as good as any other console but now that ive won it im interested. So il give it a go! Oh and it will keep my younger sis n brother amused anyway! | 2010-05-25 17:09:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |

(also, hate to say it but going on the wii does not make you fit. get her to try swimming!) | 2010-05-25 17:12:00 Author: flamingemu Posts: 1872 |

| LOL i won an apple pie, a drink, a big mac, a chicke sandwich, a fruit bag etc etc You can tell i like my McDonalds It all paid off though!I love animal crossing on the DS so im hoping its as good on the Wii. I also love cartoon racing games like Mario Kart etc so im sure itll be fun! | 2010-05-25 17:19:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |
| Wii's are ok, the friends system is a bit weird. Basically, you have to exchange your unique Wii friend code, both of you have to enter each other's codes before you can message each other and stuffs. Then, playing online gets even more complicated, well I think the only online game I have is Animal Crossing (Which is a really good game, even if it is for children!! ). To play online on Animal Crossing you then have an in game friend code  which you must exchange with a friend. I think to play online you must have them added both with the Wii's friend code and the in game code (could be wrong though).I don't have any other friends with Animal Crossing though, so maybe sometime I could get my Wii out, clean the dust off, and we could play Animal Crossing? I might not be bothered though... LBP is sooo much better... Oh, and that's amazing you won a free Wii! Those things are usually scams.... | 2010-05-25 19:08:00 Author: Doopz  Posts: 5592 |
| Well one day i peeled a label off my chips and it said "Instant win, Wii Aww, sorry to hear that m8  Better luck next time. (Heh Wii jokes ftw! )lol, no but seriously, grats m8, my bro has a Wii actually, but i haven't played it much tho, i only played the Metroi Prime Trilogy on it, but finished it in like 4 days, so i didn't mess around with the online much. I'll have to ask my bro later as he seems to play onlie kinda often. | 2010-05-25 19:45:00 Author: Silverleon  Posts: 6707 |
| I'm tempted to buy a Wii for 1 game...Monster Hunter Tri. I would be thrilled to win one because then I could play one of my favorite franchises without directly supporting the evil Nintendo money printing machine. I don't know if Monster Hunter would appeal to you or your siblings, it's not your typically Wii game and is best played with the standard controller. I've heard that the online for this game is great...I know I've had a blast playing the PSP version online. | 2010-05-25 20:06:00 Author: fullofwin  Posts: 1214 |
| I had a Wii before I got a PS3, with internet. I know few games with online play, but all the games with online play have separate friend codes. (i.e. Animal Crossing: City Folk and Super Smash Bros. Brawl). Online play is also quite boring, too. | 2010-05-25 21:16:00 Author: Phosphorus15  Posts: 463 |

Thanks in advance <3If you're talking about being idle at the main menu, no there's no PMing, or any notifications of online friends, certain games you'll be able to chat (Animal Crossing) And it may also show you who's on if you're looking to play with someone, but other then that, no PMing, no notifications. ...I think | 2010-05-25 21:22:00 Author: Thunderstruck  Posts: 296 |
| Monster Hunter Tri online play is absolutely fantastic. Capcom set up their own servers so it lacks the quibbles of Nintendo's (i.e. no friend codes, Voice Chat w/ strangers, random matchups). I highly recommend it. | 2010-05-25 21:41:00 Author: monstahr  Posts: 1361 |
| The Wii's best part is the offline games. The online is weak. If you had to buy any really good games I'd suggest Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Galaxy (2 soon out!) The wii has a lot of great Mario games now that i look at this XD Rayman and the Raving Rabbids is hilarious Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon are good too. You know, playing alone is good too | 2010-05-25 22:17:00 Author: Chump  Posts: 1712 |

If you haven't heard it before it's actually got nothing to do with Rayman AT ALL (Except the fact Rayman is in it a little) It's basically a load of crazy rabbid rabbits running round shooting plungers going BWAAA!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKMufNi68bs&feature=channel | 2010-05-25 22:24:00 Author: Doopz Posts: 5592 |

| All of you never playing your Wii should really give one to me. Give it to you for free...? I can SELL you mine if you want ! Yes I have one too, but since I bought my PS3 and LBP, I never touched it again...more than 1 year now My favourite games were Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart. The online is not perfect, but playing mario kart with my brother (who don't live with me) was really fun! Anyway congrats Tia, and have fun with your Wii! But don't forget about your PS3 and LBP... | 2010-05-25 23:13:00 Author: dajdaj03  Posts: 1486 |

| Aw, a lot of wii dissenters. It doesn't get a lot of play out of me, but I just picked up Super Mario Galaxy 2, and it's a blast. I would check out either that one or the first one. | 2010-05-25 23:40:00 Author: comphermc  Posts: 5338 |

| Thank you all for your info, its helped me lol I got home and found out it was the Sports Resort Package one. So i got more then what i thought i was getting! Anyway i went on it for 5 mins and then went out lol so i didnt really get a chance to play around on it! I will tonight though. Oh and i had a letter with it saying that i will be contacted by phone soon as McDonalds want a photo of me with my Wii for their restaurants and TV adverts for this year and next year. OMG how embarrasing lmao! Should i do it?? Il have a big grin and my thumbs up going YAY!......  lol | 2010-05-26 09:44:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |

| Hidy Ho Fenderjt! I've spoken to you a bunch of times through VM's, but this is the first time I have wandered into one of your threads Anyway, the Wii is not a system to be used online really. Even if the online functionality does work, there are still many balance issues with Nintendo's online games in my opinion. I just hate playing Wii games online But that is not to say that I hate the Wii! I absolutely love some of the best games on the Wii. Games like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy, Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 3, Boom Blox, and many more are just fantastic. Though the games may not look as beautiful as PS3 games, they make up for it with incredible gameplay. I would make sure to check out game reviews before picking up any Wii games, though, because it is also cursed with the very worst games available. I hope that you enjoy your Wii, and don't let the haters get you down, because there are plenty of reasons to love your newfound toy! | 2010-05-26 10:14:00 Author: amazingflyingpoo  Posts: 1515 |

I love Zelda games! I must look into getting one for the Wii The games i currently have are: -Sports Resort -Family Night Out Vol 2 -Sims Racing -The Sims -Animal Crossing -Monopoly Im sure id get addicted to atleast one of them for now I will still be going on my PS3 at the weekends. Nothing can overtake LBP! | 2010-05-26 10:23:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |
| If you want great games get Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. Those games blew my mind when i first played them. Congrats on winning a Wii! The only thing I ever won was a free Coke. | 2010-05-26 12:23:00 Author: austimerr  Posts: 385 |

| Some friends of ours got one and really enjoy the Wii sports games. The graphics are pretty dorky on that, but last weekend we were over there and really had a good time playing Frisbee golf and the table tennis as well as a few others we tried. We've been thinking of getting one. | 2010-05-26 12:40:00 Author: jwwphotos  Posts: 11383 |

We've been thinking of getting one. It is known to be fun when you have people over so its worth getting one! Ive still gotta try out the sports ones, ive tried a few before like bowling. I have a feeling im gonna throw the controller across the room even with the safety band on lol! | 2010-05-26 12:42:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |
| Congrats on the win, that's awesome! Nice to know they really do give out prizes other than buy one get one free vouchers lol. I have a Wii too, It doesn't get as much play as my other consoles, but it's still worth having. There's some superb exclusives and Virtual Console is excellent! Totally recommend: Monster Hunter Tri Endless Ocean Super Mario Galaxy Super Paper Mario Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess You should start a friends code exchange thread. | 2010-05-26 13:37:00 Author: Kiminski  Posts: 545 |
| You should start a friends code exchange thread. Thanks Kiminski! Yeah thats a great idea! Ok when i start getting used to some of the games i will | 2010-05-26 13:43:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |
| Congrats on the wii! I love to play wii with my friends but playing it alone is kind of boring, in my opinion. I have a wii but never use it anymore since I got LBP. I think you will get addicted to your wii for some months before you get bored of it | 2010-05-26 13:53:00 Author: Alec  Posts: 3871 |
| i have a wii, but i use it for world of goo and GC games...and LoZ Twilight Princess. and go for it! i'm sure it will be fun... | 2010-05-26 15:41:00 Author: theswweet  Posts: 2468 |
| I've never been much impressed with the online multi-player, but a few awesome WII games that are phenominal: Wii sports and wii sports resort - GREAT 5 minute experiences. Boom Blox - one of the best multi-player games EVER. Not exaggerating - imagine playing a perfect representation of Jenga by virtually pulling blocks out, or throwing bowling balls at the other player's forts to break them apart. Incredible stuff. Zelda: Twilight princess - I played this from beginning to end. One of the most incredible game experiences I've ever had. Super Mario Galaxy - quite possibly one of the best platforming games ever made. I just got Super Mario Galaxy 2 yesterday, which by the ratings looks like it's one of the top critic reviewed games ever so far. I can count on 1 hand the great Wii experiences I've had..... but the ones that are there are fantastic. The Wii is so different from PS3 it's definately worth owning both. | 2010-05-26 17:27:00 Author: CCubbage  Posts: 4430 |
| Cool... thanks for the tip! Makes me think I might get one and pick up a few of those. | 2010-05-26 17:32:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |
| Oh, another thing, if you aren't satisfied with the current games, you can always browse some of the classic games they have at the Wii Shop channel. if you haven't already known that of course. | 2010-05-26 20:44:00 Author: Thunderstruck Posts: 296 |
| Get Sin & Punishment on VC. I think it might be the only way to get it in English? It's sooooo gooddddddd On WiiWare: The Bit.Trip series of games is addicting, and World of Goo is fantastic as well. Also LostWinds 1 and 2, and NyxQuest. | 2010-05-26 20:46:00 Author: monstahr Posts: 1361 |
Am I the only one that doesn't have a Wii? | 2010-05-27 00:04:00 Author: Shockwave4  Posts: 200 |
| Another thing "okami"..... lesser known game, but it's a masterpiece. | 2010-05-27 00:44:00 Author: CCubbage Posts: 4430 |
| Another thing "okami"..... lesser known game, but it's a masterpiece. I think it would've been mentioned already but it's a port. Not knocking the quality! If you like arcade shooter stuff, get House of the Dead Overkill. It is outrageous. | 2010-05-27 01:28:00 Author: monstahr Posts: 1361 |
| I think it would've been mentioned already but it's a port. Not knocking the quality! True... I originally played it on the PS2. However, the mechanics of the game work really well on the Wii (battles where you 'draw' symbols on the screen as your weapons). And the visuals are unlike anything else I've seen.... it's like playing in a 3D watercolor painting with a beautiful story surrounding it. I would recommend anyone who hasn't played "Okami" to pick it up on the discount shelf. | 2010-05-27 15:00:00 Author: CCubbage Posts: 4430 |
| When Okami came out, I wanted it really bad, it looked great, but I never found the time or the money to get it. I might get it sometime, see what it's like. I've got a wii, but I haven't played it for months. Btw, fender, if you're in an ad, then I'll see you on teh televisions... You better accept the offer, that would be weird. | 2010-05-27 19:32:00 Author: resistance1  Posts: 812 |
| I highly recommend Okami as well (played the PS2 version). You can easily spend 60 hours trying to unlock everything. | 2010-05-27 19:42:00 Author: fullofwin Posts: 1214 |
| Congrats on your lucky win Fenderjit. I have a Wii and my kids love it, but there's only a few games which I can honestly say I've liked. Zak and Wiki, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and...erm...well, that about it really. Actually, no...to be fair there's quite a few WiiWare games that are worth playing too, like Tombi, Tales From Monkey Island and World of Goo for instance, plus all the old classics like Super Metroid if you're into retro gaming. | 2010-05-27 21:42:00 Author: Ungreth  Posts: 2130 |
| Btw, fender, if you're in an ad, then I'll see you on teh televisions... You better accept the offer, that would be weird. LOL yeah il let u know if i am and to look out for it :blush: how embarrassing! | 2010-05-27 22:10:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |
| You better do or I'll find you and rip your arms off... Metaphorically. | 2010-05-28 16:34:00 Author: resistance1 Posts: 812 |
| You better do or I'll find you and rip your arms off... Metaphorically. Noooooo! Then i wont be able to play the Wii!!!! lol | 2010-05-28 16:39:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |
| You could always play it by making your nose twitch. | 2010-05-29 14:00:00 Author: resistance1 Posts: 812 |
| You could always play it by making your nose twitch. I just imagined someone playing Wii with a Wii remote attached to their nose, pointing by moving their head, and using their tongue to press buttons. | 2010-05-30 10:11:00 Author: Doopz Posts: 5592 |
| Wowzers, that might actually work... I'll give you a million for the idea! | 2010-05-30 21:17:00 Author: resistance1 Posts: 812 |
| Paha I'm planning to buy a wii just for the awesome mario games! Super mario galaxy 2,can't wait! | 2010-05-30 21:43:00 Author: Mnniska  Posts: 531 |
| Yup, I've been playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 for several days now.... it's FANTASTIC! I can't believe the variety in gameplay they've packed in there. | 2010-05-31 02:06:00 Author: CCubbage Posts: 4430 |
| Yup, I've been playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 for several days now.... it's FANTASTIC! I can't believe the variety in gameplay they've packed in there. Im excited about getting this as so many people have mentioned how good it is. Should i get 1 AND 2? | 2010-06-01 08:34:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |
| Should i get 1 AND 2? Absolutely. Both are fantastic. I don't think it even matters which one you play through first. They are both identical quality - just a different story with different challenges and bosses. The Super Mario Galaxy levels are also a great showcase for the Wii controllers. After playing for a while, the Controller in one hand/nunchuck in the other hand starts to feel like an extension of your arms, and doing complex things feels natural - much better than trying to remember a whole bunch of little buttons for different purposes. | 2010-06-01 13:55:00 Author: CCubbage Posts: 4430 |

Yeah i have to admit the two controllers feel weird as your using both hands for seperate movements. I will have to get used to it, cant wait to buy these 2 games, i might start off with number 1 first. | 2010-06-01 13:58:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |
| Hey Tia! Just happened to stumble upon you thread Congrats on the win! I have a Wii, I actually had it before the ps3. We can exchange codes sometime and attempt online but I have heard it is not that great :/ When it comes to playing a game alone, the ps3 is the better option 9x out of 10. I noticed a few people said mentioned the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess... I have to say I have never been so into a game ( other than LBP lol ) it was very good! At first it is a bit strange having two controllers, but once you get used to it you should have no problem at all. Right now the Wii is packed up (for my move) but I will look at my games when I get it back out and give you some suggestions. I have found that it is a GREAT thing to have at parties! Again, Congrats!! | 2010-06-09 23:58:00 Author: Unknown User  |

I will look into getting that game then XD and yes when you get back we can exchange codes and give it a go! lol | 2010-06-10 00:35:00 Author: Fenderjt Posts: 1969 |
| Good to see you won one, i got mine like 2 years ago, and just use it to play very occasionally, mainly metroid prime III, super smash bros, and wario ware inc with my bro, but the online is very laggy (it was for me), make sure to get the necessary updates on the console system settings, as well make sure to set your city on the weather channel and to download the picture channel (and others if there are) newest version on the wii store, on the wii ware section (in case your new system dont include it) | 2010-06-10 03:22:00 Author: Ragnarok  Posts: 898 |

| In my opinion, the best Wii game, is the first one I ever got, the simple Wii Sport, awesome game to play with friends. | 2010-06-10 09:18:00 Author: Boomy Posts: 3701 |

| My Wii doesn't get much play time. That will all change when Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword comes out. | 2010-10-04 21:31:00 Author: trip090  Posts: 1562 |

| i find the wii is only fun when you have friends around, and only a few games are fun for any amount of time. And as i got aa PS3, i havent used since i got the ps3. It is good to entertain friends who dont own one themselves. | 2010-10-06 22:49:00 Author: AA_BATTERY  Posts: 1117 |

I personaly have a wii and I belive that AA_BATTERY is absolutely correct, its good fun for friends who don't have one to pass about 1-2 hours/ | 2010-10-06 22:57:00 Author: huntedstorm  Posts: 488 |
| I personaly have a wii and I belive that AA_BATTERY is absolutely correct, its good fun for friends who don't have one to pass about 1-2 hours/ Yeah i know its only fun as a party machine to occasionally play (just play brawl, wario ware inc, and mario party 8 sometimes), nintendo stood behind on this generation, why? the wii could had been much more better with HD support (A metroid game in full HD would have been awesome!) and a better online gaming support! (really the online gaming on the Wii sucks, its too laggy), they even forgot of some of their most successful franchises like F-Zero (I love F-zero and i expected to have one in the Wii!, so I have to at-least replace it with Wipeout HD, which in my opinion goes nothing as close as in excitement as F-zero but its good) and Starfox (I wanted to see Fox Mc Cloud again!, and a Starfox wii would have been awesome!). | 2010-10-07 05:48:00 Author: Ragnarok Posts: 898 |
| I barely ever play my Wii anymore... compared to PS3 the games are just ugly and full of non-responsive, gimmicky controls. I'll take a gamepad to that. ... thing, any day. I think it was kind of intended to be primarily a party machine but even then the novelty wears off. Last time I played Wii sports it was.... boring. And my company found it boring as well. Very rarely are the motion controls used for anything meaningful and the graphics suck, is it me or did gamecube have better graphics? And online play, just forget it. Total after thought. Not like Sony or MS who fully embraced it even since the PS2 and Xbox days, Nintendo seems totally against it. To this day I haven't added a single friend to my Wii, and I don't think I'd even know how if I'd find one. Imagine the instant longevity to tons of Wii titles if they had online play. Wii's internet play seems limited to that ridiculous rate my Mii spam I get every day. | 2010-10-07 05:57:00 Author: Foofles  Posts: 2278 |
| I think my bro added some of his friends, but, you are adding the console as a friend, not the person!, Things that the wii lacks are: -Individual user accounts -Better graphics -More classic franchises remade -Better online support -Better media support I think that Nintendo is successful now just because the console seems to be very popular with kids and people that cant afford any expensive gaming system (ie. xbox 360, PS3 or a good computer), but not with hardcore gamers, seriously, i don't know anyone that is a hardcore gamer that plays Wii unless it is a Nintendo fanboy. Nintendo tried to stay traditional and that is making it fall back (in my opinion they just got lazy and tried to impress just by the controls and that's it!, now it only stands popular because of the franchises it handles, the huge amount of useless games that it has, and their hand-held systems) if for the next generation of consoles Nintendo doesn't come up with an up-to date system its going to be their doom. | 2010-10-07 06:09:00 Author: Ragnarok Posts: 898 |
| another post here- the wiis controllers seem unsensitive, even with the $50 "wii motion plus". The playstation move has taken the wiis limited system and greatly improved it. | 2010-10-07 06:25:00 Author: AA_BATTERY Posts: 1117 |
| I have a Wii and the only thing i use it for is Monster Hunter Tri.. But that game has a build in friendlist so i use the MH one instead of the Wii code-list. I have to say that the matchmaking is superfast, dindn't expect that for the Wii. | 2010-10-07 06:49:00 Author: TjoxYorro  Posts: 220 |

Oh wow, but sadly that is only for that game, try playing brawl, its very laggy (I don't know if at the moment they have fixed that, but i believe that most Nintendo games online support is peer to peer, which sets the game speed to the lowest of the players, probably Monster Hunter uses dedicated servers) | 2010-10-07 18:03:00 Author: Ragnarok Posts: 898 |

I do have some more games for the Wii but not as many as for the PS3.. i think i have 6 Wii games :l Brawl, SMG, Mario Kart, New Super mario brothers and monster hunter tri. In case you didn't notice, i love mario games I think MH3 uses dedicated servers indeed. P.S. i'm going away to prague now so i won't post for some days ;P | 2010-10-10 17:43:00 Author: TjoxYorro Posts: 220 |
