    If you own a Wii post here and say how you like it. I'm a little surprised we didn't have a topic like this before. :D

    And while you're at it, I have a question regarding the Wii. Is it true that you can plug the Wii to a computer monitor? This is important to me because buying a large flat-panel monitor is cheaper then getting an actual flat-panel TV... they last longer, too.

      We've got the Wii Discussion topic...

      Anyhow, I'll have a Wii in about a month/month and a half. Hope that helped!

        True, but this is more straightforward and I have a specific question about a certain feature of the Wii. Official topics for every damn thing is monotonous and my question could be easily ignored.

          As far as I know, the only video connection on the Wii is it's A/V out port designed for the Wii's A/V cables. I don't believe there's a port for a PC monitor, though if the monitor has standard A/V ports it should work.

            The thing about Wii connecting to a computer monitor was old news; so old, in fact, that we're talking about the days when even the name "Revolution" was just catching on for Nintendo's system. One of the Nintendo hardware staff said that it could also output to a computer monitor, but that's it. No other comment has ever been made since, and the feature never materialized.

                That's what I was talking about. Oh well, I'm a little disappointed. Looks like I'll have to find a few more monies to get a real TV, then I'm going to have to get some speakers or something, too.

                  The Wii is pretty cool, but I'm not sure Zelda is all it's cracked up to be. It's only decent. It has a lot of stuff to do when your bored.

                    I haven't really gone back to Zelda that much after completing it. I just couldn't be bothered to do all the extra stuff when I'd completed it.
                    Maybe it's just not as fun on the Gamecube or something.

                      It's alright, but wait until Summer to get one. Then the good games will be out.

                        psh, TP was pretty damn awesome. Only real problems was the difficulty and, to some extent, the plot. I hate storys where there's a new bad guy but, oh wait, in the last part we will kill him off badly and omg shock the player by making them fight the series' badguy for no particular reason except we wanted to put him in and ruin the plot in the process gg.
                        The most lol example of this is Starfox Adventures. I love how you're about to fight the general and oh noes, andross takes the spirit from him and LOLOLOLOL lets fight andross in space even though he had no bearing on the plot whatsoever but he was in lylat wars right the fans will love us!!

                        At the least i'm sure they could have kept Zant evil instead of making him some nutcase whining childish screaming loonatic of annoyance.

                        edit: oh did i mention how aweosme the wii is. I only own one wii game so far (TP :3) but it plays all ye olde gcn titles (like ssbm and MP2, what more do you want!?). And you can download awesome games like lylat Wars and Donkey Kong Country 2. The Wii is pretty win tbh

                          I wasn't saying Tp is bad, I was saying it's not good enough to get a Wii just for it. Buy it with Brawl or Corruption and you'll be set.

                            Buy it with Brawl alone and you'll be set. ;)

                            I'm hoping to get Brawl, Corruption, Galaxy, FE:GoD, Heatseeker, TP, Mario Partay 8, and maybe a few others. But I think I'll get Brawl first.

                              I'm gonna be getting MP8, Corruption, Brawl and Strikers charged. Oh, and Mario Kart Wii when it comes out. I wouldn't suprised if it was called Mario Kart Wiiiiiii!

                                The games I already plan on getting are TP, Galaxy(the BIGGEST must-have for Wii, to all you non-believers), Corruption, Brawl, FE10, Bwii, Animal Crossing, Soul Calibur Legends and Crystal Chronicles if doesn't require DS's to be played and has online multiplayer, out of the games that have been already announced/released.

                                    Haven't you heard about a console's "dry season", right after it launches? Just because there are no new releases doesn't mean you should return the entire console itself.

                                    Pokemon Battle Revolution is coming out in June, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in August, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy are all coming out before the end of the year. Not to mention all the 3rd party offerings.

                                    None of those appeal to you?

                                      Nintendo's consoles normally have the dryest season during the first couple months after launch. There are only about 2-3 worthwhile games released at first, but then Nintendo releases awesome games right after another.

                                      The Wii is an amazing system. I'll have to admit, though, I haven't been playing it much for a while because all I have are Wii Sports and Twilight Princess. The games that are coming out, though, are going to keep me glued to the thing for a long time, though. >=D

                                        It's alright if you dont have anything better to play. I returned mine, it got boring after I beat TP...
                                        You returned it?! *slap* You IDIOT! Sorry, but that really pisses me off because I want one so bad, and then you have one but you returned it... omfg

                                          People like that annoy me.

                                          " Oh it was alright but I got bored so I sent it back." Wtf. I know somebody who did that with his DS, only to buy another one, his PSP, Wii and Xbox 360.

                                              That was my reaction. I'm dying to get a Wii, and I'm not sure I will be able to find one this Summer. It's not fair!

                                                I work at Target, I can buy one the second the doors open, standing by the electronics boat. If I want a new one I can get one easy. Unlike 90% of you guys, you dont pay rent and live on your own. I had to pay rent and didnt have alot of cash at the time, my wii was collecting dust, so why not return it? I have not had 1 urge to play it since I got it, I still have my copy of tp though since you cant return games. I play MapleStory 100% of my game time anyways so I dont have any interest in getting another. Waste of money.

                                                  I know that the Wal-Mart in town has Wiis in stock. They've got five in their glass case thingy, and I'm sure they have more in the back. I'd still prefer to get it from GameStop though, since they'll probably throw in something extra with it.

                                                    Wii's are starting to be in stock here. That's good news for those who have been waiting since Christmas for one.

                                                        No problem Aqua. I'll check Amazon to see if they have dates for more stock.
                                                        EDIT: Good news aqua, they're in stock in amazon.
