Gaming Just picked up my Wii!!

[Deleted User]

Could someone please tell me how easy it is to set up the wireless connection. Does the Wii have better than MAC address and/or WEP encryption? I was hoping it would have WPA or something similar.

I have 2 questions for who has a wii already.

Have you tried saving games with a sd card?
Does a tf card with an sd adapter work also?

Any of you have bought a component cable ?
I'm really curious about the Zelda TP in progressive mode!

I think everyone who has picked up their Wii's are too busy playing to answer our questions, at least I know that's what I'd be doing.

 

[Opium]

I have a n00bish question: is a SD included with the Wii? And if not, has the Wii an internal Memory?

Well it's just for information, because i already preordered it (Dec 7th here).

You'll need to supply your own SD card.

Wii has 512MB of internal memory for Virtual Console games and Wii game saves. You can use a SD card to expand that memory and also to play pics and videos on your wii.

I got my Wii tonight as well.. been playing it for the last 5 hours lol. I also got another wiimote/chuck and Red Steel, Zelda, Excite Truck, Madden, and Trauma Center.

I made a Mii or two first, and checked out the photo channel since there was like 400 pics on my SD card already... Wii Sports was a fun warmup. I played against my sister. And Zelda fucking owns me. Anyone who has considered getting the GCN version instead only need to try out a friend's Wii version and you will be sold. Aiming is a breeze and you dont need your arms up and out all the time. You can just sit back in a chair and game like you always do, really.

@maduin: yeah you could probably fit it into an average size backpack, but I seriously doubt a laptop case. It's a bit thick.

@bigreus: the only thing I can answer there is that I have put in an SD card, but it doesn't seem to give me the option to save to it specifically. Perhaps theres some options for that in the Memory Management or whatever it was called.

How is Red Steel and how good are the controls?

Have to wait 19 more days :'(

 

[Deletable_Man]

No idea. I've only played Wii Sports and Zelda. Haven't even taken the wrap off the other games yet. Need some sleep.

 

[enarky]

I think I know the answer to this (unfortunately)Â - but will the Wii play imported GC Discs. I'm in the UK and all my GC discs are US imports, I guess that a UK Wii won't play these.

Yeah, I'd like to know that, too... anyone with a US Wii tried playing some EUR/JPN GCN Imports yet?

Supposedly when you connect your Wii to the internet, it will update to be able to access SD cards or something like that.

I've got a small question, what is the VA rating on the power adaptor?
I am getting one imported next week and I need to know if my step-down convertor is good enough.

The wii roms were fake, it has just been confirmed @ maxconsole, thats why they're no longer up.

Huh?!? A phishing scam of some sort?

Eh, I doubt it. Most likely a "claim to fame" that never actually went anywhere.

After all, if you can't be famous, be infamous!

Hang on I thought he was talking about the Wii VM console games were a fake not the ISO's. Misunderstanding, sorry.

 

[Sc4rFac3d]

oh man, i hate you!

Can't wait for mine to arrive, luckily some retailers are selling early and I can pick mine up around dec 5. Even bought a 4gb sd card already for 60 bucks!

 

[Shiin]

Five hours and thirteen minutes till i get mine.

Damn you clock, move faster!

 

[MMMMMike]

My son has been outside in line for about 10 hours... 1 and a half to go.
Damn cold out last night... right around the freezing mark.
I stopped by at 6:30am (store opens at 10) and there were 45 people or so lined up for 42 Wii.
He said they are having a great time.

He'll just be getting an extra controller and the Wii... no games until Christmas. His dad's a hardass.

well, my attempts at securing a wii on launch day by just walking in have failed. Meijer had 8, i was 11. Target was sold out 15 minutes before i got there to wait.

 

[X-Gamer]

I see I'm not the only one having trouble getting a Wii on launch day. Right now, I'm looking for a store that still have it in stock along with Zelda:TP which is getting harder by the minute. There were already campers in front of the store I regularly go to for buying my games so the Wii was gone faster than it came.

Most likely, I might have to wait until the next shipment arrive before I can start playing on the Wii. Oh well, I guess it just can't be helped.

 

[MMMMMike]

Got the Wii ... weeeee ... vlog up by noon EST.

I`m really jealous of all of you.
We won`t be getting our Wii until the 2nd - For once they are being weird and releasing it in places other than Japan first... Which is really strangely frustrating for those of us in Japan.

Ours is reserved though, along with the games we`re getting - So we won`t have to line up or anything. Just show up and pay.
