Two Weeks To Go

[scubahood]

Well well well guys in two weeks time we will finally have our Wii's and will no doubt be playing like mad. So hows everyone feeling about it? What are you gonna do to kill the time?

I got that constant excited feeling about three days ago and now I can't stop thinking about it so thats gonna make the time last longer.
Really dunno how i'm gonna kill the two weeks i'm thinking lots of Rainbow Six as i've got most of next week off work but the last week should go quick cause I have a full week of work.

[blender]

xbox + 4 top games is only £50 at argos. I want to cancel my wii becasue of the price and average launch games. This xbox looks more fun as a stop gap until the 2nd gen wii games are released.

[martinist]

i'll be playing Gears of War on-line for ages and i'll probebly watch the Gamespot wii marathon again for kicks

[flameboy]

My excitement has written fever pitch now, I simply cannot wait.

But at the same time it is dulled by the fact that I'm a student so keep thinking maybe I can't afford to buy it, but I've thought sod it get some money out of the savings account!

As for what to do until then....simply put essays, got a mammoth one in for the 7th December (talk about good timing)

What time I do have for gaming is taken up with Football Manager 2007 (PC) and XIII on the xbox (please ubisoft bring us another game in this style!)

[conzer16]

I'm pretty damn hyped up. Hyuped if you will.

Although I'm not looking forward to my bank statement after purchasing the Wii. I have rent and utilities due the week beforehand, and Im debating picking up another Wii if there is sufficient suply.

[Jordan88]

I can’t wait but I haven’t preordered one so there’s a good chance I will be disappointed come December 8th.Where did you get RSV from btw.

What are these top 4 Xbox games on offer?

[Samdecahedron]

I have Gears Of War, World Of Warcraft and Guitar hero 2 to make time go fast. Before you know it, it will be Dec 8th.

[Nintendork]

Currently playing: Phoenix Wright, Killer7, Resident Evil (GC) and Ocarina of Time.

That should fill the void.. strangely I'm not playing them that hardcore though.. maybe I'm saving myself for the virginal Wii experience.

[BlueStar]

Well I'm off to Germany on Wed morning for 4 days with 7 mates to see the Uefa cup game against Frankfurt, that should keep me busy.

The annoying thing is, I've had about a month off work and the Wii comes out 3 days before I go back.

[solitanze]

In between work and social committments playing some old games and monitoring Twilight Princesses average ratio shall occupy sufficient time.

[conzer16]

Played some 42 ATCL last night on my DSl for first time in a while. Will continue using DS until I have Wii. Then I will probably forget about my DS for a short (possibly long) period of time, until a game is released that I can use the DS with.

Unless there is one at launch? Is there?

[That Guy]

I'll be playing non stop Gears of War, also got Splinter Cell: DA off Play.com for half price and Viva Pinata is out next week, plus I've recently bought Trauma Centre and Mario Kart on DS.

Got loads of games, so I'm not even that mad for Wii right now, because I'm quite busy with things anyway.

Also got to get 54,000 kills in Dead Rising.

[Tellyn]

Play RuneScape, get taunted by Americans who already have their Wiis.

[KKOB]

i had that same 'OMG only 2 weeks' thought today as well.

i'm playing Ocarina of Time (just at the start of the forest temple), Gears of War that Caris has been beating me up over cos i haven't finished it yet :'( :hehe: , then theres N3 PGR3 and CoD 3 on the 360 to keep me going and Pokemon FireRed and Ruby that i've just started again on and then theres all my uni work and japanese stuff to keep me going till next may sometime-too much for me to do :(

[Cold Fire]

I'm just taking it step by step, one day at a time. Its the only way!

[mike-zim]

World of Warcraft. i need epics so when i go to lvl up it will be easier.

[dannbrownn]

Next Week i will be playing warcraft a lot (ON Agamaggan look out for DannBrutii of the horde!)
As for the launch week:
I should be getting the wii at a midnight launch so most of Thursday will be spent sleeping to offset the lack of sleep i will get that night!
The four days before launch i will be giving my entire house a really good clean (and i mean obsessively clean!) so that my house will be worthy of containing a wii!

[Colin]

I'm also playing through Ocarina of Time. Most likely the only game I'll be playing (PES always gets played aswell) between now and 8th Dec. Also got a fair amount of Uni work that needs doing.

[Cube]

I was planning to freeze myself a week ago, but was unable to find a suitable location.

I've just finished Four Swords Adventure, and am now playing through Links Awaking DX. Other than that, the amount of uni work should keep me occupied. (and virtually everything is due in before the 8th)

[Letty]

Do work probably.. Its all good

[martinist]

i'll be re-reading through my Love Hina manga and trying to finish off the catcher in the rye by the 8th, also i've re-discovered Trauma Center which i gave up on because it got too hard (curse you Atlus)

[Stefkov]

I've got plent to keep my mind occupied.
Gears of War, get all achievements. Countless nights spent n that chainsawing people.
Call of Duty 3, get some more achievements on that.
College. Thats one to keep me occupied.
Waiting for my DSL to come back form Nintendo. I sent it yesterday, I hope I get it back next week.
Plenty og 360 games to play.
Battalion wars to play.
Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life to play.
The thing is i wont play all of these.

[Emasher]

almost -1 weeks for north america

[Platty]

I was planning to freeze myself a week ago, but was unable to find a suitable location.


I was ok, wasnt too excited until I went to the Wii house and now I just cant stop thinking about Zelda.... gahhhh

I need to freeze myself just like cartman I think.

[flameboy]

I need to freeze myself just like cartman I think.

platty in the 25th Century! yeah it's got a ring to it...

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

Ive decided to go on a killing spree, killing telemarketers and blaming it on games. Maybe I should tape some game controllers to my chest for added effect.

[trondjac]

Well, I'm going to kill the time, by building my house, maybe I can get the bedroom and bathroom ready before it gets released. Since after it's release, Im not doing anything else before Zelda TP is beaten!

[Stocka]

Time is flying, and I don't want to kill time as I need to finish some AS coursework for Dec 4th.
I'm currently playing and REALLY enjoying Gears of War and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

[The3rdChildren]

I never usually wish my life away, but in this case I'm making an exception.

COME ON THE 8TH. Sonic can only tide me over for so long.

[Yoshiking]

I thankfully have some NFS: Most Wanted to complete but seing as I'm nearly done there's no way that'll hold me for two weeks. I'm actually rather happy I have so many school assignments due next week as that's pretty much one week gone.

[Jasper]

I'll be getting my exams the seventh to the eighteenth. Wich means that there won't be a) so much Wii (parents love this one) b) not so much learning (wich I love). On the Wii day itself I'm going to have a phiolosophie-test about Kant and some of his close companions. Pretty boring stuff, but great teacher (he actually searches for points just to make you pass the test - he knows that philosophie isn't given to anyone). In the meanwhile i'll be replaying every Zelda that I have in my possession (Majora's Mask is the best. No Doubt.) and scraatch of a day every day on my countdown timer. Oh, and keep thumbs up for my local shop to have more than 13 Wii's on launch day. Else, i'm screwed.

[AshMat]

I'm getting into C&C Zero hour, and ill soon have WoW for a 10-day trial period. That'll keep me going.

[Atomic Boo]

because i haven't ordered a wii it doesnt matter

[Nintendork]

because i haven't ordered a wii it doesnt matterI don'ts got one. just think lucky.

[Kurtle Squad]

Well I just bought Yoshi's Island (GBA) & a while ago got City of Heroes & Villains Combined Edition. They should keep me going on the gaming front, and also XII which I'm going through slowly.

I'm also trying to get myself a job, finished my CV a couple of weeks ago and am currently in the process of writing a covering letter and gonna see if they'll take me in GAME or Gameplay. :)

[Atomic Boo]

I don'ts got one. just think lucky.

sorry? Im not getting one either (at the moment).
Im confused. Oh, was the a gramma error in my last post you taking the mick out of?
I dunno.
Or are you drunk?
::shrug: :wtf:

[ShadowV7]

Time has been going a bit fast for me so far,only 13 days for since me since i'm going to midnight launch (hopefully).
But on the 7th time will go so slow for me :heh:

[Hellfire]

I'm playing ffxii to kill the time. I know I'll leave it to gather dust and pick it up late, but who cares.

[/ nando /]

..I'm a lot happier now.. got my Wii preordered in GAME today so I will at least get it before Christmas (if not the 8th December).. probably gonna be playing GC, N64, SNES, DS until then.. as usual..

[Nintendork]

/me wonders why this thread was not titled 'Two Wiiks To Go'

[triforcemario]

I'll be playing Morrowind, Metal Gear Solid 2, and I'll be masturbating too...

What?

[Atomic Boo]

/me wonders why this thread was not titled 'Two Wiiks To Go'

thats a very good point actually.
i wonder why you post didnt say:
mii wonders why this thread was not titled 'Two Wiiks To Go'[/QUOTE]

[Nintendork]

Because I am a geek but I am not that much of a geek that I will bend the rules of IRC code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IRC_commands).

[Mike]

I'm playing through Yoshi's Island 2 to fill the void. With the amount of work I've got at the moment, that shoud easily take me up to the 8th, and I doubt I'll be able to finish the game 100% by then either. I'll also have the December bugs and fish to look for in Animal Crossing next weekend, too, which will no doubt take a while.

[Herr Dark Wolf]

Guys, I've got to fill the void until Christmas Day (when I get my Wii + Zelda). I've also got mocks in January, so I'm starting revising earlier. I'm playing through OoT at the moment (near the end) then I'll probably play Majora's Mask (never played it).

[Charlie]

/me wonders why this thread was not titled 'Two Wiiks To Go'

Probably because the thread creator isn't an arsehole.

[ShadowV7]

Probably because the thread creator isn't an arsehole.

Couldn't help but laugh at that.I'll have PSU arriving next week aswell and i've got Star Ocean to finish so that'll bring me up to the 7th.

[GigaPlay]

I have Christmas exams which starting next week. So I suppose I'll study to kill time.

That and play Sonic Rush again and again and again and again.

[Stefkov]

If I have more games like i just did on Gears of War then im set for the 2 weeks. That was so fun with the guys from here.
Then theres looking into maybe getting a router. that Linksys ive posted about before i now have worries that it might not work well.
Then theres the one in the ONM mags. Does that have WPA so i can have my Wii hooked up to it? is it secure enough to have WEP for the ds aswell?
questions questions questions i need to answer/find an answer.

[scubahood]

Probably because the thread creator isn't an arsehole.

Thats right i'm a nice guy not an arsehole:awesome:

[Nintendork]

Goes to show what I think of the average forumite's wit.

[Rapture1984]

I don't know about you guys but as launch day is getting closer the fear is starting to set in. The shop I've preordered from will be getting 15 Wiis in and I placed my order on 23rd Sept but I'm still paranoid that somethings going to happen to make me miss out. Guess I won't feel at ease until my Wii's safe in my hands :hmm:

To pass the time I've tried reading lots of reviews and magazines, playing all my old cube games (currently working through SSBM again), contemplated renewing my WoW subscription and even joined a gym :cry: That's how desperate I've become.

As Cartman said the closer to launch it gets the more time slows down. It's like waiting for Christmas times 1000.

[Sarka]

To pass the time, alongside the fair amount of homework I seem to have - I've been trying to complete Kingdom Hearts 2. After around 15 minutes boredom starts kicking in and it soon hurts to play. But I must complete it!

I'm also planning to finish my Ocarina game (where I'm at the Spirit Temple) and my Majoras game (Where I'm at the Stone Temple, though I only have 7 hearts...). That'll keep me going.

[Crazyreyn]

I really can't wait now. I'm trying to get all my uni work done so I can spend my last week playing the Wii and chilling out and enjoying Christmas-eque evenings with my mates, so at least that is keeping me somewhat preoccuped.

I just Amazon actually send it out on time though. =/

[Solo]

I'm holding out till Christmas Day for mine (don't have to pay for it of course, hehe). So unfortunately I have t wait a couple of weeks longer. But boy will it be one hell of a Christmas morning.

[Jordan]

I've been playing Sonic, Gears and EBA to pass the time.
Scrubs season 6 starts on Thursday night which is totally fucking awesome can't wait for that.

Then 2 weeks of Wii playing and i'm off to yee olde Shetland.

[Stefkov]

I forgot that i deleted what little i had done in OOT. So ive started again last night. I'm now up to (done it) smashed that big web in the base of the Deku Tree and gonna do that bit to finish it off.

Plus Grey's Anatomy will keep me occupied on thursday nights.

[Sparko]

My exams start on the 13th of December, so I'm studying a lot :blank: It's going to be so hard to study directly before the exams because of the Wii, so I'm trying to study as much as I can now.

[LukeLee]

the wait is getting hard, but i've just looked at some questions for a uni essay and im scared :s

[ShadowV7]

I'm happy i've got my prelims in February so I have a lot of time with the Wii :)

[demonmike04]

Play RuneScape, get taunted by Americans who already have their Wiis.

Runescapes suicide for the soul man.

[Stickman]

Well. i've been working on a little something to help everyone whos able to
get one (sigh :( ) to countdown, by making a five parter comic here...

http://www.twinmoons.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/luke/cdtw.html

[Nintendork]

Moonscape, the game for characters with no knees.
Can't believe I played that as a kid. What a retarded corrupt ass elitist community that game is.

Ultima Online was much better and rewarding socially and game-ly

I've just discovered HD versions of the 1up show, I really enjoy the show.. i'm working through the last few weeks of episodes right now.

Gah can I be arsed to play Zelda: Ocarina of Time before Twilight Princess? Part of me thinks it will lessen the experience as I've never played a 3D Zelda before besides Wind Waker.

[Strider]

Ive order my Wii from gameplay, but out of choice im saving it untill christmas to make it more exciting... it shall be torture.

[ShadowV7]

Ive order my Wii from gameplay, but out of choice im saving it untill christmas to make it more exciting... it shall be torture.

Woah,that will be torture.How can you do that,the Wii sitting in your house waiting for you,able to play it at any time with everyone else enjoying it.
Good luck to you.

[Yoochem]

Ive been hyped for the Wii for a very long time now, and the only thing that helped and still helps is just not thinking about it. To be honest, I'm not really that excited about the Wii anymore, but even when I look around in this forum I'm getting more and more excited :P Not playing many games lately anyway, but I guess that's going to change when I've got a Wii :) I'll be very lucky to get one on 8 December, because I don't think there will be a midnight launch where I live, and I've got to go to school the next day before I have time to go to the shop :(

[The-Ironflame]

Can't wait myself although hoping my parents replace the broken Widescreen CRT TV we have at the moment as it has gone, in time for the Wii release. Using a 10 year old normal TV which can't even do widescreen and does 16:9 in letterbox mode.
Going to be getting a LCD HDTV and some component cables for some extra eye candy!

[ndreamer]

hopfully i can get a wii, it's getting harder and harder to just get a dslite in town and im still undecided what games ill get beyond the ones i allready have preordered online.

[Owen]

11 days! It's out Next Week! :D

Zelda! Zelda! Zelda! : peace:

[Yoshiking]

I have so much to do this week it isn't even funny. And I love it. Next week, however, is going to be probably the worst ever.

[Owen]

I have so much to do this week it isn't even funny. And I love it. Next week, however, is going to be probably the worst ever.

Strangely enough, but i reckon next week will go quicker then this week for me.

Next-week is launch week, so from monday, i'll have to plan everything. Possibly ring-up Gameplay for more info on deliveries and whats coming and when (as i doubt it will all come in one big box like Gamecube).

I'm going out as many days as possible though, so times goes quicker as well.....:D

[killer kirby]

I had me busy week last week so now I just have to wait for the Wii to be released, which there aren't that many days left till Australians get their Wii's XD

[Librarian]

im pretty hyped but it's not killing me.. ill probably first get my Wii (if im lucky) on the 9'th.. but have taken the following monday off from work to get som playing time..

[Rummy]

I've had that constantly excited feeling for a while now, probably since I played one, although it subsided over the weekend. It came back last night though, I dreamt it was launch day already, but for some reason I was bringing my dad to buy it, and for some reason we spend ages faffing around at home, then we got half way there and I had to go back because I'd left my preorder reciept on my fridge. I don't remember actually managing to get to GAME in the end, or seeing/playing a wii. It's been featuring in my dreams over the last few days too though. Man, I must seem well sad, actually dreaming about the wii.

[Librarian]

yes just got a mail from the shop where i pre-ordred.. I wont get a Wii on release.. even though i was the first to preorder... so this probably means that the shop will get one or 2 wii's for promotion only.. what can I say

FUCK NINTENDO!!!

[Stefkov]

So I lay in bed trying to go to sleep last night and I just thought....10 days..
For some reason i got realy really excited and impatient. Not good for me while trying to get to sleep.

[Din]

Man, I must seem well sad, actually dreaming about the wii.
Ha, I had one the other night! I got my Wii home and for some reason I had to assemble the console myself. After I had put it together it didn't come out looking like a Wii at all. I had actually managed to make a blender! Stupid dreams.

[Haden]

Im getting excited again now. I really cant wait to go mental with the wiimote. Going to be awesome. Screw dissertation and family this christmas is mine!

[Rapture1984]

yes just got a mail from the shop where i pre-ordred.. I wont get a Wii on release.. even though i was the first to preorder... so this probably means that the shop will get one or 2 wii's for promotion only.. what can I say


Ouch man, that's not cool, where did you preorder? I've been panicking for a while now thinking that the shop I preordered from would just sell the Wiis to their mates even though I ordered mine in September. Managed to get the girlfriend to go and work her charms on them & they have assured her she'll get one.

Hope you don't have to wait too long :cry:

[ultrajamie]

LMAO!

Like it's nintendo's fault that the shop sold you a preorder before their allocation was confirmed.

DUH.

[Librarian]

DUH.

yes poor old nintendo who could only send 2 wii's to my shop so that they can call it a world wide launch and say "we sold out in 2 seconds... all 2 of them".. i just have to laugh at their advertisment countdown on their home page now... only so and so long until the wii arrives at your shop.. well ok.. it arrives... all 2 of them.. and then they are gone.. they should have pushed the launch if they only can manage this kind of ps3/xbox360 kinda launch

stop being so bitter.... they've sold a wii every single second of the day since the USA launch.

Just because you obviously went to some dodgey village store that didn;t place a big enough order... my local game has received more than it's initial order, so your point about nintendo deliberately limiting supply is nonsense.

I will spare a thought for you on the 8th though. :D

[Librarian]

I will spare a thought for you on the 8th though. :D

at least thanks for that...
Talked to the biggest store in my town today.. they get 14 Wii's.. far from enough to meet demand..(and he told me that they even had to fight for that gigantuan number) so even if I had ordered there.. no luck..
And fuck yes im bitter... if im very lucky the store where i ordered gets another shipment before christemas.. maybe

[ultrajamie]

1... do you live in some empty wasteland? Hull perhaps. I don't live in a big city and even the smaller of our two branches of game is getting 50+ units.

2... there will be more on sale before xmas.

3... as the wii uses old tech, nintendo can crank these out at an amazing rate you'll get one soon enough. And if you go to non-specialist retaillers like woolies, currys, tesco, or argos on launch day i reckon you'll get one.

[scubahood]

Dramatic developments: In the past 25 hours I cancelled my Wii Play pre-order with play.com and changed it to game thought i'd pay the extra £2 at Game and be able to rest easy now that I know I will have a second controller at launch. But then I stumbled across a 5 pound voucher code which is J3PW74
so i cancelled my game pre-order of wii play then re-ordered with the code

[welsh_gamer]

Speaking of dreams I had one about the Wii last week, in which, after bringing my Wii Console Box home and opening it, discovered a Gamecube inside! You can imagine my disappointment.

der.... so you're proud of putting yourself to the back of very long queue... twice in a row.

well done

:horse:

[Librarian]

Hull... that's England right... hmmmmm
No im sorry to say at the mercy of Bergsala of sweden who handle everything Nintendo here in Scandinavia... but as i said before.. if you think Nintendo is hard on europe.. try living here in scandinavia.. phew.. youll never know what hit you... and of course ill do a round to every store on the day just in case.. and get laughed at

Congratulations, your chances of getting Wii Play at launch has dramatically decreased.

Like I said

:indeed:

[scubahood]

Is there a Wii play shortage then?

[Stefkov]

I hope this doesnt become a habit. Last night I went to bed 15 minutes early, nothing was on tv. When trying to go to sleep i thought '9 days'.
This made me want the wii even more.
I hope it doesnt happen every night, need to keep my mind occupied elsewhere.

[ShadowV7]

Is there a Wii play shortage then?

Yup,that and Twilight Princess and some Wii accesories is in shortage.

[Owen]

Yup,that and Twilight Princess and some Wii accesories is in shortage.

It sometimes feels as though Europe are getting the left-overs doesn't it? :heh:

[Jackster]

It sometimes feels as though Europe are getting the left-overs doesn't it? :heh:

Who says we aren't? :laughing:

[Owen]

Who says we aren't? :laughing:

:laughing: We so are! Cheeky Nintendo. Taking the p*ss out of us Europeans! :grin:

Still love em though! I try to leave them, but always come back for more!

[Accelra]

It sometimes feels as though Europe are getting the left-overs doesn't it? :heh:

My local GAME in Wood Green in London mentioned that consoles would be scarce on the ground in the 8th but they were getting in plenty of games and accessories. Could be bollocks though.

awww 'Wood-Green'. Use to live near there! Well Enfield...but it was pretty close.

I do love all this pre-launch rumours etc..it's all so exciting!

[Smiter]

I walked into GAME today.

Bear in mind that I've been working overtime for nearly two months, and I haven't been to a single games store for at least that amount of time.

Went into my local GAME to see if there were any cheap PC games... saw the Wii display... and I promptly turned into a 10-year-old, grinning like a lunatic and drooling over all the game cases. :D Shame there were no accessories displayed, I want to see if we get Wiimote covers and dog tags.

Unbelievable that the launch is next week. We've been waiting for two years or so.

[Nintendork]

I hope those dog tags flop harder than free willy.
Stupidest marketing gimmick ever.

[Smiter]

Haha, I wouldn't buy those dog tags either. Truth be told, 90% of accessories are pointless/gimmicky/cheap crap.

But I have to admit I would take a look at other Wiimote straps. I'm not about to start flinging my arms around like a madman, but the fact that the Wiimote is only tethered to your wrist by a flimsy piece of string is a little worrying...

Especially when you know the kids (big and small) in your family will want to have a go on Wii Tennis.

[Din]

My local GAME in Wood Green in London mentioned that consoles would be scarce on the ground in the 8th but they were getting in plenty of games and accessories. Could be bollocks though.
My local GAME said there would be a shortage of games and accessories. The guy said they would be selling them on a first-come-first-served basis. So no pre ordering:mad:

I think that's total bollocks though. As I said in the pre order thread: isn't that the point of pre ordering things so you can actually get what you want? My Game=stupid.

[AshMat]

This thread title is totally wrong now, 1 WEEK TO GO GUYS!

[Strange Cookie]

Thanks to http://pressstarttoplay.net/ for building up the hype just al little more. :wink:
