Wii is here!

[MadonnasManOne]

Does anyone else here, who has a Wii, have it connected online?

If so, let's exchange codes, so we can exchange messages and Mii's. My information is in my post, above.

Thanks!

i have heard the stories of the remotes crashing into the tvs. It's nice they corrected the problem. I hope I can buy a Wii for my birthday.

Alright. Do you want to exchange Wii codes? Let me know.

[Gurgi30]

I'd love to exchange codes but I'm not opening the Wii until Christmas so I'll have to wait until then.

[Loomis]

I'm waiting until next year when I will pick up a wireless router for my wired cable modem.

Between my laptop, Wii and eventual second console, I will be needing that wireless connection...

[The Merman]

I would love to exchange codes with anyone from this board!
Can you also have mii's visit eachother?

This is my Wii code information:

My Wii code is: 2007-6359-0251-6774

My nickname is: MadonnaMan

If you don't want to post your Wii code, here, you can E-mail me:

madonnasmanone@msn.com


Mii's can visit other Wii consoles, but, you must set each Mii to "Travel". Plus, you can send Mii's to other people that you've exchanged codes with. Yesterday, by exchanging Wii codes with several people, I accumulated over 20 new Mii's, plus, several that came to my Mii Parade, which you can then add to the Mii Plaza.

Just post, or E-mail your information, and I'll add you to my Wii Address Book, later this evening.

Thanks! I've just added you. We will be able to exchange Mii's and messages, as soon as our systems connect to each other.

For those in North America, the free trial version of the Wii Opera Browser is available! I am now surfing and posting on UD using my Wii!

[MadonnasManOne]

Did anyone else here who has a Wii download the browser today?

[Gurgi30]

they aren't recalling them actually, just giving out to people who want

You're right, my bad.

Here is the list of games that will be available via the virtual console in the US on Christmas Day. Happy gaming to us.

Super Mario Bros. (NES) - 500 points
Street Fighter II: the World Warriors (SNES) 800 points
Super Castlevania IV (SNES) - 800 points
Toejam & Earl (Genesis) - 800 points
R-Type (TurboGrafx16) - 800 points

The only one I don't want is SFII. I'll wait until the Turbo edition is released. Also, R-Type is more expensive than other TurboGrafx16 games because it consists of R-Type 1 & 2, or so I've been informed.

lucky you

btw, any Europeans here? I got the Official Nintendo Magazine UK Issue 12 last night and were getting Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Street Fighter II: The World Warrior in January

Man, you Europeans suck!

I want Super Mario World! In fact, that's the one game I'm waiting for, most! Oh, well. I'm assuming that, since it's being released in Europe, in January, it will be available shortly after that, in America.

On Monday, I will be downloading Super Mario Bros. for the N.E.S. and Street Fighter 2 for the Super N.E.S. I can't wait!

Also, I came home from having Christmas with my family, this evening, to find that Nintendo had sent the Wii remote replacement strap, which has a thicker cord for attaching to the Wii remote. That was fast. Although I haven't had any problems with my strap, I now have a back up, in case the one I have breaks. Since I'm not some crazy fool, flailing about when I play, I'm thinking I won't have any problems with the original one attached to the Wii remote.

For those in America, Nintendo has put the new Virtual Console games up, early!

Available today:

Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo Entertainment System)

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)

Castlevania IV (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)

ToeJam & Earl (Sega Genesis)

R-Type (TurboGrafx-16)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have already downloaded Super Mario Bros.! Oh, yeah. Classic NES games on Wii! What fun!!!

I'm also thinking I'll download Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. I haven't downloaded any games on the VC for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, so this would be my first.

[yamiiguy]

Europe's VC gets updated tonight! Still don't know what with though...

[yamiiguy]

finally! We Europeans get something more than the USA!

Owners of Nintendo’s revolutionary games console, Wii, are in for a retro treat at the start of 2007, with 36 new Virtual Console titles spanning Nintendo’s 20-year history available to download in Q1.

Gamers will be able to turn back the clock and enjoy titles which made their debut on the NES, SNES, N64, SEGA MEGA DRIVE and Turbografx (PC Engine).

Using the Wii’s Wii Shop Channel, gamers are able to download retro games to Wii’s Virtual Console. Once selected these games are saved to the Wii internal flash memory and added to the console’s Wii Channel Menu allowing them to be easily accessed at any time. The Virtual Console games that will be added to the Wii Shop Channel in Q1 include 20 Nintendo titles, 7 Turbografx (PC Engine) games and 9 classic SEGA MEGA DRIVE games. New Virtual Console titles will be added throughout 2007 creating a constantly growing library of games.

Fans of Nintendo’s classic titles will be delighted by games from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo (SNES) and Nintendo 64 (N64), including Mario Kart 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Street Fighter II: World Warrior (CAPCOM), Super Probotector and the hugely popular Super Mario World.

SEGA is treating its fans with the release of a host of popular games including Streets of Rage, Bio-Hazard Battle, Bonanza Bros. and Comix Zone. Hudson will also be entertaining gamers with a selection of its best titles from Turbografx (PC Engine) including Soldier Blade, Double Dungeons and New Adventure Island.


Wii owners can download Virtual Console games using Wii Points. Wii Points can either be purchased online via the Wii Shop Channel using a credit card or users can purchase Wii Points by buying a Wii Points card in retail stores. These points can then be redeemed against Virtual Console games via the Wii Shop Channel.

Nintendo will also be rewarding its loyal customers by adding Wii Points to the Stars Catalogue available at www.nintendo-europe.com. When gamers purchase any Nintendo product they will receive Stars which can then be redeemed against items including Wii Points on the site. What’s more, Wii owners can synchronise their Nintendo-Europe.com account with their Wii Shop Channel one to earn Stars points on all Virtual Console downloads.

Virtual Console games range in price from 500 Wii Points for NES games to 800 Wii Points for Super Nintendo games and 1000 Wii Points for Nintendo 64 games. Wii points required for titles available in 2007 may vary. Wii Points Cards are available to buy in retail stores and are estimated to retail at around €20 (£14) for 2000 Wii Points. In the Stars Catalogue smaller fractions of Wii Points will also be available.

The Wii console is available at the estimated retail price of around €249 (£179 in the UK). Included with every Wii console is one wireless Wii Remote, a Nunchuk, Wii Sports game, Stereo AV Cable and the sensor bar for Wii’s unique control system. Software is available at the estimated retail price of between 49 Euros and 59 Euros (£34 to £39 in the UK).
