Scored a Wii have you? Play for a week

So what does a hardcore gamer do after securing a much sought after Wii gaming console? He’s plays that Nintendo Wii for a week straight; broadcasting the gaming live on his personal *ack* Xanga blog. Can anyone say jealous? I’ll try to keep these gaming posts down for the rest of the week… Unless of course there is something that has to be posted.

    I scored 5 Wii’s.

    Its a loooong, interesting story. But I have no time to tell it as I am to busy playing 5 Wii’s at the same time.

    I only scored one…but I only needed one. I had to wait 15 hours in 15-20 degree weather to get it too. It was a blast!

    Any reports on what classics can be downloaded for play on the Wii?

    For the Sega Genesis – Sonic the Hedgehog and Altered Beast; Nintendo 64 – Mario 64; Nintendo – Mario Brothers, The Legend of Zelda and Wario’s Woods; Super Nintendo – F-Zero and SimCity. If there are others I have not listed, it is because I don’t remember them. As it was my friend that got the Wii. Which means I don’t have immediate access to it. For those interested, we waited in line for 4 hours and were number 74th in a line of 87 units.

    Yeah, the Virtual Console offerings are pretty sparse as of yet, I’ll probably hold off on them.

    Did anyone else have a hell of a time finding an extra nunchuck? That was the hardest thing for me and my girlfiend to find!

    I ended up getting 3 Wiis, 3 zeldas, 4 nunchucks, 2 classic controllers, and 4 wiimotes. I just bought them on impulse. I only planned to get one for myself and one for the lady. So now I have an extra one. I have had some luck this weekend, I ended up getting 3 PS3′s as well. I sold one on ebay, one im using and one is sitting here.

    I was 14th in a line of 60 out of 60. 13 hour wait. With 3 hours togo the line was at 150. LOL. No body told them.

  • chad

    waiting in line for 9 hours, was 19th … scored the Wii, Zelda, Excite Truck, and Call of Duty 3 plus an extra nunchuck controller….

    was worth every minute…. what an amazing little console… what it lacks in graphics it makes up for in pure fun playability.

    Waited for an hour and a half, and I think almost everybody up till opening got one.

    The Wii Channels system and features sucks as is, the gaming is awesome though. And the miis and Wii Sports are kinda cool.

    Got 3 controllers and Nunchunks!

    I didnt get an email Derek. What, do you want a Wii?
