I don't know if this has been brought up already in here but I was just wondering about the WiiCodes I've heard about. How do I get one? What are they used for? Thanks!

They're used to send messages and Mii's to other Wii owners, you need the receiving Wii's code and they need yours. You get it by clicking the mail icon on the bottom right corner of the Wii Menu, then click your address book and click to the left.

I finally got my Wii today! I've played some of Rayman Raving Rabbids and its pretty fun. I also played bowling on Wii Sports I have not tired Warioware Smooth Moves yet.

I used my wii card to download Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past and Donkey Kong Country.

Congrats! Warioware is a pretty good multiplayer game. Rayman is great as well.

I wished more online games would come out. I'm ready for online Smash Bros. and hopefully a online Mario Kart.

I can't wait for Super Smash Bros. Brawl! That game will be awesome with online play! No doubt Mario Kart will be online. I have so much fun with Mario Kart DS, online. I hope that we'll get so much more when they release Mario Kart on Wii!

I agree. If there is anything that I can find wrong with the Wii so far its the online gaming. Hopefully the rest of 2007 and 2008 will see a lot of great online titles become available.

I am also really looking forward to Smash Bros Brawl. I hope Nintendo gives a release date soon.

So apparently I've been living under a rock for the past 6 months or so, because I just tonight had my first experience on the Wii!! Holy cow is it fun! I was afraid I wouldn't be very good at it, because I kinda suck at other video game systems since I am what I call myself "3-Dimensionally Challenged". However, I thought the Wii was very fun and pretty easy to pick up on. In fact, I pretty much rock the house at bowling. We will definately be buying a Wii soon, we have the money, it's just a matter of finding one.

The Wii is great for that reason. Its very easy to pick and play. My parents who never play games had no trouble and actually enjoyed the Wii Sports game.

Mario Kart looks good!

Will each player need the wheel controller, or will you be able to use another type of controller.

No, the wheel is not necessary to play the game. It will be packaged with the game, but, players do not have to use it. In fact, from what I understand, the wheel is actually more for less experienced players, and can be used as an alternative. The speech that Reggie gave indicated that there would be multiple ways to play, so, I wouldn't be surprised to see them map the game to be played using several different controllers, like they are doing with Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Which will be cool, because we can choose which controller to use, based upon our preference.

I like the ideal of multiple controls for Brawl and Kart. Galaxy is looking amazing. I can't wait until thats available.

E3 for Nintendo overall looked good.

I think E3 for all three overall was pretty good. I found less to like on the 360, but like they said all the stuff they were showing will be playable in 2007. There just wasn't much new stuff from Microsoft this year. Halo 3 will be the Game of the Year for them.
