Bummer.. keep calling around... they're bound to pop up somewhere.

The wii is well worth the money.. and I've only played the Wii sports. I bought NFS Carbon today... Zelda is just as hard to find as the Wii, so that was my second choice. I'll let you all know what it's like.

Dude, it's so much fun. It's a good game to sit down with , you just use the wii remote vertically and use it as a steering wheel. It's pretty damn accurate, too.

Going to start Zelda today. Just reading up on the wifi connection , I guess you can send text messages to other Wii people by adding them .

finally found myself one, at the rogers on 17th, they had 3 when i called, got there, bought one, then another guy got 2. picked up zelda + need for speed, and one extra controller... this machine is soo much fun, the graphics are not the greatest, especially on a high def tv, oh well, i new that was the case (need to get the component cables now, for 480p)... All the wii sports games are great (tennis and golf are my favorite). Zelda is awsome as well (no surprise there)... Need for speed is REALLY hard, the controls are super sensitive, has anyone got the hang of it yet? definatley worth it...

I think the thing is with this unit, is that the fun outweighs the graphics. I tend to not even care at this point. Having said that, I don't find the graphics all that bad.

How much for a second controller? Did it come with the nunchuck, too?

Tennis and Golf are my fav's as well. Zelda is going to be good, just as you said.. no surprise there. NFS is not that hard after an hour or so of playing. I'm really starting to get the hang of it. You honestly have to use the controller as a real steering wheel. You gotta straighten out , etc.. I find on corners, ease off the gas until you hit the sharpest point of the corner then hti the gas again.

You'll get it soon enough...

PS: If you find NFS hard, do not bother with call of duty 3.. it seems very tough. Marvel Ultimate Alliance is boring also, not what I was expecting. Glad I rented those two.

Cool that you found one... prepare to nerd it up.. it's addicting.

Found the controller + nunchuck at walmart (westbrook mall).. think it was about $70 for both, kinda pricey, but to be expected... i can't wait for a tiger woods type golf game, and a hockey game, that'll be sweet, slap shots, you could even be the goalie...
