The "What is your Wii Pre-order" Thread

[Brainiac 8]

This is influenced by Zenien's thread over on the PS board.

Soon we should be able to pre-order the Wii in force.

Here is where you name what you ordered along with the Wii; games, accessories, ect ect....

Have fun!t:

 

[Cold2daToucH004]

Ice is my name,
I preordered red steel, zelda, trauma center, and blazing angels
I'll be purchasing a second controller combo w/the wii-mote gloves
Component cables

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Are places even taking Pre-orders now?

 

[Brainiac 8]

I was told by Gamestop that they will probably be accepting pre-orders this coming Friday!t:

When they do start taking pre-orders....

I'm going with the system (obviously) and LoZ:Twilight Princess.

After that, I'll just pick up a spare controller at EB since I seriously doubt I'll need to reserve that. And if reviews are good, I'm picking up Red Steel too. I'm thinking of waiting for M:UA to drop in price since Raven's roster is pretty half assed.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Possibly Friday.

Wow. That is exactly what I'm going to do. I'm not kidding either, that was my exact game plan.

Already pre-ordered:

• Twilight Princess
• Red Steel
• Rayman Raving Rabbids
• Excite Truck
• Elebits
• Trauma Center: Second Opinion

Official reports have indicated that the Wii console itself will be available for pre-order this Friday, but I called my local gamestop and they say that know nothing about it.

IMPORTANT FOR Wii OWNERS:

GoNintendo.com reported that a purchase of 5000 Wii Points will come with a free VC controller.

 

[Banshee]

The Wii, Red Steel, and Ultimate Alliance. My house mate is getting a Wii, Twilight princess, Excite Truck, and an extra Wiimote and nunchuku... which means I get five games instead of 3 (including wii sports). Except he'll be hogging Twilight princess for a couple of months.

For Japan anyway. Hopefully it applies elsewhere.

VC Controller?

Also what's the $ to Wii pt ratio?

 

[TheGrayGhost]

VC Controller?

Also what's the $ to Wii pt ratio?

It's often referred to as the classic controller. You'll be able to play your Virtual Console games with it.

And I'm not positive on the $/Wii Points transfer. I think that 5000 is $50. But I'm not sure.

 

[DACrowe]

I was under the impression you could play VC games with your wii-mote though? Is that still true (it hopes so as the VC controller is a waste of money).

Anyway:

1) The Wii (obviously)
2) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
3) Red Steel
4) Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
5) A second Wii-Mote/Nun-chuck (I probably won't pre-order this but just buy it instead).

 

[Spidey-Bat]

You can play NES games with the Wii mote, but you'll need the classic one for SNES and N64 ones.

Extra controller and nunchuck
Classic Controller
Elebits

[Johnichi Chiba]

I've already pre-ordered Twilight Princess and I'm planning to Pre-order the console and maybe I'll get Excite Trucks with another remote and nunchuck.

 

[jaydawg]

Wow. That is exactly what I'm going to do. I'm not kidding either, that was my exact game plan.

Great minds, man. Great minds.

 

[XwolverineX]

I'm going to pre-order a Wii and Zelda, Asap. Red Steel, Rayman, etc will wait untill reviews. Though, I think I'll be waiting for December 25th to play it, to avoid having to pay for it.

 

[Sandman138]

I plan to preorder a Wii, LoZ, and perhaps Excite Truck.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Wii,LOZ, Red steel, MAdden, Need For speed UG, one extra controller, Component cables. And I'm set

 

[Shifty]

I was under the impression you could play VC games with your wii-mote though? Is that still true (it hopes so as the VC controller is a waste of money).

You're also going to need it for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and possibly other Wii games.

 

[ToddIsDead]

I'm not pre-ordering it. I'll probably pick it up some time in the summer. But when I do get it, I'll probably get some controllers, some games, component cables, etc.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

I have a question, when do Wii pre-orders start? I heard this friday

 

[Axid]

Yeah, tomorrow

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

^Really, thanks for telling me Axid!
