Thanks, i was talking about on this forum though, no one has a countdown yet, well at the time there wasnt one, damn code dosent work on these forums, but i will have the link to the site

Sovieto · 09-15-2006, 11:34 PM

Man, I still can't believe it, this is the final countdown. And most of us have forgot, we all think the conferences were the big last final ones, but theres still the Tokyo Gaming Show! Equal to our E3!!! Just imagine everything that will be showed there! What do you think will be showed there? If anything else is left?
And on the newspaper today (USA Today) On the frontpage is a little clip telling about the Wii (You know where it just shows a pic and quick info then you flip to the page in the newspaper) the article was pretty nice, just recapping everything we know, I think this is great beginning advertisement. But 1 funny thing, they say its going to be packaged with Wii Sports which includes: Tennis, Golf, Basketball, and Bowling, a tad off?

Well maybe they have yet to announce basketball, highly unlikley though. Anyone excited to see the first Wii commerical? I can't wait.

I am like you man! can't beleave it... but I though wii will not be on the Tokio Game Show.

Sovieto · 09-16-2006, 03:24 AM

it better be at tokyo gaming show, the most i heard confirmed is that they werent holding a keynote speech there. not being there is basicly rasing a white flag to the ps3

ABC · 09-16-2006, 04:05 AM

Oh man, I really don't think i can wait longer. I am more excited about this launch then I was about the XBox 360s.

Sovieto · 09-16-2006, 07:06 AM

64 more days, hey! Nintendo...64..lets keep this active, so lets talk about when you first got your n64 if you got one!
I remember it was about a year after it came out, first games were Body Harvest, Goldeneye, and Mario Kart, me and my dad spent hours trying to figure out how to play body harvest, then spent hours trying to figure out how to beat the first level in goldeneye, but mario kart was fine, all though my dad wasnt to into "kiddie" games, so me and my sisters played (i was like 6 or 7) and then in the future i finaly beat the goldeneye level, got so far in body harvest then just got bored, and beat mario kart 50 million times. i got more games, then sadly got rid of it about a year ago, it was good to me

I wasn't even excited about the 360, I saw it one day and played it and said... nah too expensive for buying.

nintendowiigaming.piczo · 09-16-2006, 08:36 AM

well i was freaking exited about the 360 maan

i was like super mega. i had an alarm at my phone and it counted down to christmas and sayd:
only "93" days left to u will get a 360! and then i did'nt get a 360 for
christmas and i thought it sucked. then i thought - ok i'l save up money.
2 months later i got 800$ for my birthday( i know that's sick) but i had completly forgot about the 360 cause then i was totally in to nintendo "revelution" as it was called then. and now i am even like a 100 times more into the wii ... it's completly wicked

Sovieto · 09-16-2006, 06:24 PM

haha, anyone know if their gonna charge money like for updates to games? like use wii points, that would suck, just like on the 360

in touch with the wii · 09-16-2006, 06:29 PM

i dont think so why would you do that they do it when the wii is sleeping so if that was true they would take your money and youll find out too late nintendo is not like that

Sovieto · 09-16-2006, 06:41 PM

no not like that, but like on 360 you can buy new call of duty 2 maps, for the wii, would they charge for the maps and you have to use wii points?

Sovieto · 09-17-2006, 08:53 PM

This thread is hard to keep active so i will just keep it in the shadows then come weeks before launch time i will bring it up again

Sovieto · 09-18-2006, 12:36 AM

Updated with a cool new more offical looking countdown timer site!

dbinder1987 · 09-18-2006, 10:55 PM

This post should get stikied! I have no money right now, so i gata get a job so i can save up for the wii. Im gana try to get it on launch day. As for the beloved N64, nothing shall surpass that glorious system! I think if nintendo would have stuck with the n64, and just expanded on it with mega upgrades it would rule the gaming scene! I mean even the ps2 can barely keep up with the n64. If you were going to go to the moon and had to bring one system with all the games that ever came out on it what would you bring? n64 of course!! The raw computing power of the n64 is so much better than even the next gen consoles today. it had almose 0 load time, unlike the ps2 at launch with 30+ seconds of load time. I remember playing ridge racer 5 on my new ps2 like the 2nd month it came out, and waiting like 3 min for it to load a race. I cant wait for the wii, it is going to be the next n64!!!
