I thought the wii classic connects to the remote and not the console?

You're correct, it does

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. Too bad, because my friend's gamecube controllers keep breaking..

OK. Just summed up all my courage (and cash) and bought a Wii yesterday for the coming myth that is SSBB.

Bought the jap version just so I could get my hands on it quicker (and to laugh at the english gaming population for a month

...hope it doesn't go out of stock on release day...)

I had a massive internal conflict. Cos Wii is region-unfriendly.

On one hand, if I bought the US Wii I'd get to play games I understand! ... but it quickly lost to the vision of kicking sonic's a*** with mario~

Also got Mario Galaxy and Wii Fit (I am now officially 37 years old... where did those 9 years go!!)

UPDATE: Just called the shop I normally buy games from, and they just received SSBB(jap) stock this afternoon! Will check tommorow to see if I can snatch a copy.

Nifty. That's real dedication.

I'll be going to be SSBB party on the North American release date on the 15th. Hopefully we'll have a copy at that point.

winner, i saw you get wii fit too, how is that game?

I've tried the soccer headbutt-game and hula hoop. I kept missing the ball. the hula hoop really made me exercise...!

Tip: Remember the receiver is on the board, I kept moving my head. Then saw the eg. pic at the bottom and found that it was sensing the movement of your body weight. baka!

I can see it being a nice end-of-day habit for me (with the body-flexing, etc...), since I'm stuck at the office desk too much.

Don't expect becoming Hulk in 3 days tough, unless you're going the buy 2 boards for weightlifting~

I'm sure there are more conventional ways to exercise. Fit just makes it fun and records the progress for you to see, so I guess it's a great thing for making kids into it too.

Note: Since you're standing for the game, the height the tv is placed is a cause of concern (especially if you're gaming room is really small).

Brawl in a few days!!!

Asmodai · « **Reply #209 on:** March 06, 2008, 06:56:55 AM »

Yep! Comes out Sunday, I pre-ordered on Amazon to make sure I get a copy (and save a trip across town), so it should be here Wednesday.

eglue · « **Reply #210 on:** March 06, 2008, 08:15:43 AM »

^ why wednesday? seems like a long wait. you wouldve been better off just picking it up at a store.

Asmodai · « **Reply #211 on:** March 06, 2008, 03:24:11 PM »

Well, that's how long it takes to ship. It doesn't matter to me particularly since I probably won't have time to play it until Saturday anyway.

chibilolli · « **Reply #212 on:** March 06, 2008, 07:54:10 PM »

I thinking of buying a US Wii purely for the fact that games get realised there before the UK. Just need to find somewhere to buy one for a good price. Any suggestions of online stores?

At least I know I can sell my UK one on because so many of my friends are still after them.

Hmm...

Well Wii's are still really hard to find in US stores. You pretty much have to get them the day they're shipped which isn't too hard to find out if you call or ask. And from what I've seen it's just as hard to find them online unless you like at ebay or amazon market.

wii is for chicks

i just saw the u.s. commercial for smash bros. is anyone else starting to get tired of the "wii would like to play" theme to ALL wii games. they're all the same just with different game footage. the concept was cool at first but its seriously getting old. they couldve made a SWEET smash bros commercial. oh well, it sell like crazy anyway.

Thanks for your answer. I didn't think they'd be harder to get hold of then the UK one's. I think I'll stick with mine then and just sit patiently (if I can) for game releases.

Sucks

ooo ooo but the new Wii Freeloader disc allows you to play imported games for 10 pounds, and is proven to work with the current Wii software updates and Smash Bros works with it!

The only thing is you'll need your Wii to be hooked up to your TV with a Scart or Composite cable, I'm having a hell of a time getting a Scart cable (but Amazon do have some official ones) I might just stop myself buying the game early because I want to pass my exam this year, haha.

chibilolli · « **Reply #219 on:** March 13, 2008, 03:17:36 PM »

^ Ahh, thanks for that info. That's so great - definitely buying one!
