Defective Wii's

Lowezt · 11-21-2006, 02:24 AM

Well, I've been watching these forums since my Wii broke, and it looks like 99% of you still have a working one, which is good news. I think if your Wii makes it past the hour mark, it's good to go, since everyone who's had theirs break on them had it happen soon after it was unpacked. I'm really glad because I don't want my new one to break too, I was just getting into it! I still love Nintendo and the Wii, I'm just pissed because I have Zelda sitting on my shelf and no Wii!

The reason we're seeing so many posts here about the defective Wii's, is that this is the best place to talk about them, and probably the biggest Wii community forum. Considering the huge number of Wii sales in America already, it's pretty good news that only a handful that we've heard of, have been defective.

^What he said. It seems that the Wii launch has been one of the most successful in years. Honeslty, if you are worried about getting a defective Wii, then just chill. The chances are very slim.

Haha pretty much. I have been playing since I got it on Sunday... so I figured I'd take a brake and see what you guys were up to.

If that's what dissapointed you, then you either A.) Should have realized that was going to happen or B.) Need to hit the gym badly.

A LONG time if you want to... I am proof of it. Hahaha. Luckily though, Zelda is a "sit down and play" type game. The only thing you have to use the Wiimote for is slashing and shooting (arrows and pellets). So when you get tired and still want to play with your Wiiwii... just pop in Zelda. But come on... how rewarding is it when you hit a homerun on Wii sports baseball? That stuff is NOT easy!
