When you first got your wii...

What did you do when you got a wii? I got mine on Christmas last year. My dad first just handed me two small boxes and they were a wii remote and nunchuck. I was silent for a second, and then (I'm small for my age) I jumped over the couch hugging my dad SO tight and I was literally hanging from his shoulders. Ahhhh. Good times

Share your stories people!

I stood in line for about 16 hours. I was actually #2 in line. Slept in a small tent with a friend overnight(yikes) and got me a Wii at 9am on launch day. Got it with an extra controller and Nunchuck with Zelda. I then preceded by driving as fast as I could home.

It was fun as hell, I'll definitely be doing it again with Wii 2.

I got my Wii Christmas day last year. I really, really, really liked it for the first 3 months that I had it, then I sold it. And got a 360.Nick11478

Wow, that was really...dumb. Why not have both? There are way too many good games coming out for the Wii, far out numbering Xbox 360 in my opinion. To each it's own I guess...

I'd always heard people talking about how the only way to get one was to show up early in the morning right when shipments would come in (which I'm far too lazy to do), but then I found out that my Wal-Mart actually gets their shipments at 4 in the afternoon on weekdays... So I showed up and there it was, just sitting on the shelf. This was in March, and I still haven't seen another Wii on a shelf at any store. So I guess I was lucky.

How and I got a Wii:

I went to the store and it was sold out... I waited about two weeks, and the nwen to the same store, and there it was. The Wii, then I bought it and went home, and started playing for some hours... quite easy for me.

I got mine on Christmas too and for 2 weeks my parents kept saying that they couldn't find a Wii anywhere and that me and my brother would have to wait until next year to get one. But then me and my brother opened up our presents on Christmas morning and we both got Wii games (I got Twilight Princess and he got the Wii Trauma Center game) and we were both dumbstruck.

I got a little confused and said "You got us Wii games but we don't have a Wii". Then my dad went to the back room and brought out a Wii. Me and my brother just laughed with happiness. The first thing we did was make Mii's and then play Wii Sports for hours and hours at our house and over at our grandparents houses and the like.

It was one of the best Christmas' I've ever had.

Nintendo has ZERO third-party support. Therefor I would have to rely on Nintendo's (good) but childish games for the rest of the systems eternity. I really wasn't into that. I think that the 360 is 10x better overall, such as graphics, gameplay, games, online play, ect. I also think that the 360 is coming out with the better games such as, Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, All of the EA Sports games.

ZERO third-party support....then what are games like Guitar Hero 3, Resident Evil 4, Umbrella Chronicles, Spore, No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, Okami, Opoona, Monster Hunter 3, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Fatal Frame 4 doing on the Wii's current and future launch list?

And is it a proven fact that the 360 is 10X better than the Wii? Did you do some research on that one?

Graphics, yes. Online play, deifinatley. It's a matter of opinion on which system has better games. The 360 had a year head start but yet I own twice as many Wii games....hmmm. Gameplay wise, the 360 definitley does NOT beat the Wii. You're a fool to think so. The Wii has revelotionized the way we play and will be playing in the future. You really think the next Xbox and PS are going to use a traditional gamepad. I seriously doubt it. So no, I don't agree with you on that one.

My brother's first go-round with Wii Tenis was awesome! I came home from work, and my fiancee was laughing. I asked her what was going on, and she told me he was sleeping on the couch when he sat up, opened his eyes, and started swinging his (empty) hand left to right. She asked him what the hell he was doing, and he said "I'm playing tennis, but Ryan won't give me any shots" (i'm lethal up front); then proceeded to fall back down on the couch and resume sleeping. CRAZY!

It was around January-February earlier this year. Once I had enough money I tried SO hard to find a Wii since my desire to have one was very strong, but no success. I eventually went into my local GameStation and pre-ordered one, realizing it'd be harder to get one otherwise. I waited a whole month for my Wii - I tried to get one sooner, even nearly resorted to eBay - and I ended up getting a little bit jealous of my best friend who's parents found one leftin Argos and bought it with no problems or waiting.

But eventually the day came, when I was surfing the Internet in the first week of March, that I got the phonecall from GameStation saying my Wii had finally come into stock, and that I could pick it up anytime. As soon as I got off of the phone with them, I screamed with joy.:D My mum came home not long after, took me up to GameStation and I bought it. That's pretty much my story. ^^;

I told my grandma that I wanted to buy it and she took me to Gamestop. Thing is that they didn't have any so we looked for about an hour and we finally found a Meijer that had one. I ran to the game department and made sure that no one else saw it. And I've had ever since then (that was about last June.)

I got mine 3 or 4 months after launch. I showed up to work (Best Buy) about 10 minutes early one day and there was a stack of about 25 of them in the middle of the floor. So I got one and Sonic and the Secret Rings and took it out to my car. Worked my shift and then went home and played it.

Not too epic huh?

My dad got it for me on launch day!!!

I played non stop...about a month ago I decided to sell it seing as how MP3 disapointed me...but my parents wouldn't let me...I'm glad I didn't...Mario galaxy looks incredible can't wait till monday!!!

nonthe less a 360 would make me happy!

I got Twilight Princess with the Wii. I paid for the Wii with money i won from school..... I got home and went to sleep. Next day i played Wii sports for half the day and the other half with Twilight Princess. :D

(My city is pretty relaxed on Halo launch the shelves were packed with Halo 3 and stood that way for a week:| )

Well here's my story

I was at my local Wal-mart waiting in line for my Wii. Out of nowere a wal mart worker comes up and says there no more wii in stock. I was really pissed. Week after week me and my dad would got to every store Target, Toysr'us, and EB games. We were close but not close enough. Then it was Christmas moring and on X-Mas eve my parnets said we might get a wii until next summer. When me and my bro were done opening all of the presnets I saw a red wapped box at the back of the tree. I graped it and tared a pice of the wapping of and right in front of my eyes said "Wii". Right then and there I graped my parnets and gave then the biggest hug I ever gave them ( I even had tears coming out of my eyes) :oops:. Then my parnets gave me Red Steel and my bro TP.

I was by far the greatest X-Mas I ever had and will always remember:D

My first Wii got robbed.

Went with my little brother, and brough it with an extra WiiMote and Nunchuck plus 2 games (Prince of Persia & Medal of Honor) cost around £300. Walked out with happy and excited faces with springs in our steps. About 10 minutefrom home, I woke up in a hospital, I'd been knocked over the head by some theifs who ran of withthe big bag with the brand new Wii and accessories in it. My little brother - who ran home to get help - told me everything.Istill don't remember a thing.
Anyway, about 6 weeks later, I gota new shiny Wii, but brought home incar. The end.

I was just like. I think i'll get a Wii. I called EB games, they had like 5.

Drove there, got it, played it.
