my work has that link blocked, but from the looks of it, its a wiimote charger...which is what i need. i always forget to buy batteries, so i have nothing in my house with AA batteries anymore. ive taken out all the batteries from my remotes etc for the wii.

I purchased SSX Blur. When I first sat down to play, the controls definitely felt wacky. After an hour of playing, however, the controls began to feel incredibly smooth.

"So the batteries in my wiimote just kinda died on their own. It was very odd, the last time I checked they were both full and then I don't play the thing for about 2 days and the next time I go turn it on, one of them is completely dead and the other only stays on for about 15 seconds. Is there some issue with wiimotes draining batteries while the wii is on standby or something?"

this exact thing happened to me once like a week after i got the wii. 1 remember my second player wiimote being 3 or 4 battery bars and i came back to play it a couple days later (i know no one used it in that time) and it was dead... i have no idea what caused it though. thats why the rechargeable thingie is the way to go hopefully (it better hold a charge etc)

3/1/2007 7:44:09 PM

just get rechargeable AAs.. they're always useful

3/2/2007 11:28:18 PM

did any of you people read the top of the page?

i said i ordered already and it should be here soon. preorders? huh?

3/3/2007 12:51:58 AM

I am guessing Tiger and Mario Party will keep the Wii frenzy going strong through march

seems like prices are dipping ever so slightly on ebay, and there are reports of a major shipment/held shipment tomorrow at toys-r-us and target.....we shall see

3/3/2007 12:40:18 PM

bump for the sunday shipment.....anybody get one today?

prices back up to 350-360 on Amazon!

3/4/2007 3:46:17 PM

I went to Toys R Us around 1. Didn't expect to get one. I was right. The guy said 21 sold out as soon as they opened.

3/4/2007 4:24:27 PM

Mario Party has been delayed until June according to Gamestop.

3/4/2007 4:31:32 PM

^^thats fucking amazing

3/4/2007 4:37:46 PM

the wii play games are fun as shit

especially table tennis, laser hockey and battle tanks. the battle tanks one gets intense around round 14 or so and the enemies shoot rockets that bounce off the walls.

3/4/2007 6:47:38 PM

anyone know what came out for the virtual console today?

3/5/2007 10:35:11 AM

^won't be confirmed until noon, but looks like the following:
* Excitebike (NES) (looks like this one is a no-go)
* Elevator Action (NES)
* Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (SNES)
* Sword of Vermillion (Genesis)

[Edited on March 5, 2007 at 11:00 AM. Reason : no excitebike today]

WOW.

3/5/2007 12:36:53 PM

the question is, why are people still willing to pay that on ebay. seems like the market for that would have been exhausted by now. when people stop buying on ebay, folks that are looking to resell will stop waiting in line every sunday, and they will be in stores for the rest of us at retail.

3/5/2007 12:41:33 PM

people are lazy and uninformed.

they would rather pay and extra $100 then drive around for an hour.

3/5/2007 12:43:46 PM

hmm...i looked for it the other day and didn't find it (DKC). i'll check again.

3/5/2007 1:20:52 PM

I just got my tennis ranking up to 2030.

Tennis score correlates to how well you masturbate.

3/5/2007 7:09:27 PM

so i actually had to preorder Tiger 07 for next week. I talked with several guys down here and alot of stores are actually thinking they'll run out quick.

I was like wtf. so I put down $5 at Gamestop. Might as well so I can get a copy.

a) alot isn't a word.
b) gamestop/eb will always run out of popular games. Because they only get in the amount the pre-ordered plus 2-3 extras. They'll have you believe that the only way to get ANY game is to pre-order it, and that's simply not true. There will be plenty of that game, and every other game on the day it's released in any other store that sells games except for those (Best Buy, walmart, target, etc)

Don't believe the lies that they feed you.

3/6/2007 12:10:45 AM

^ ^^

I hope ya'll are right. I am not pre-ordering my copy, but I plan on grabbing one within 2-3 weeks of the release. I get the feeling that TWWii will be a trend-setter.

Anybody play that Rapala game?

3/6/2007 2:18:17 PM

go to target day of if you want to get tiger

3/6/2007 2:20:15 PM

k i've got a friend looking for one. i've checked outtastock.com, wii seeker, and buy wii online but none are available right now.

when is the next shipment to stores?

are there any bundles available online now?

3/6/2007 3:25:57 PM

FYI, I'm selling my wii in classifieds. I like it enough, I just never get around to playing it.

3/6/2007 5:27:21 PM

3/6/2007 6:50:52 PM

has anyone tried just the plain usb to ethernet connection for internet on the wii? they have the wii LAN adapter for $30. I was wondering if you could use any brand for that. This was mentioned earlier, but I saw no real answer.

[Edited on March 7, 2007 at 2:38 AM. Reason : nub]

3/7/2007 2:32:57 AM

u have to use the wii usb lan units. they have firmware u dont get from regular lan adapters. igot the wireless and iam impressed considering how shitty the wireless was on my pc. this is the longest post ive made using the wii it takes a minute to type..... kinda like text msg cellphone.... i hope they improve.....

i just got my "wiicharger" station in the mail today, its on its initial charge right now. pretty nifty. its got a blue light under each wiimote to show its charging. you have to their replacement battery covers though (theyre rubberized) because they have little holes in them for the battery terminals. i dont know anything about the charge life yet though, and probably wont since i'll just set them in there whenever i'm not playing.

3/7/2007 5:37:33 PM

today at the garner wal-mart they had 4 wii consoles and 9 wii plays
