The Official ECM Wii Channel

[Blackhawk]

Okay guys. This thread has reached a certain evolution, so I am re-writing he title topic and OP body so that everyone is on the same page. This thread originally started as me gathering a compilation of opinions on a Wii console since I was in the the market to buy one. Now that I am a happy Wii owner for 3 months, this thread is now strictly the official Wii enthusiast's thread. All Wii enthusiasts are welcomed to contribute their reviews on the latest games or simply just share useful information such as online friend codes, game tips, etc. This OP will be updated regularly on the hottest topics including new game releases, strategies on games, codes, and cheats, among others. Stay tuned to this OP and the latest posts!


UPDATE 07/17/09:

Me and DV8mAn (Jason) are putting together a team of 6 guys here on ECM to form the official The Conduit "ECM Clan". All we need is 6 guys to form a team. So far it's me, Jason, and Nwinnie. We need 3 more guys. Anyone with a Wii that likes first person shooters chime in on this thread and provide your friend code so we can add you and start playing this awesome game!

UPDATE 06/24/09:

The Conduit Comes out today!!! Don't forget to pick up a copy and spread your friend code so we can kick some alien booty together!!!

Update: 06/18/09

Me and Slipkord are trying to get an exclusive ECM Mario Kart game room just for us. Post up your user codes, and if you don't have the game yet, you should go pick it up. $50.00 at your local Wal-Mart and you get a free steering wheel remote. Let's get this this going!

Buy it! The Wii is freakin awesome especially for when you have people over. It's got everything and just about every game you play is a work out and of course there's the Wii Fit which is perfect for working out at home. It's the only game system I know of that EVERYBODY can enjoy including older folks like my grandparents. LOL!!!

I love the Wii everytime i go to my friends place down in philly we play. The Wii sports is the best, we play every game on it, golf/boxing/baseball/tennis/bowling. Its the most fun ive had excersing ever. I dont even play the conventional games on it. Id much rather play the sports related or the mario party games. There the best, and the more people the better

Dude buy it. I had my Grandparent's over last year on easter and even they were having a blast with it. It has the best assortment of "party games"

[Blackhawk]

Yeah so far I played all the Wii sports including Baseball, Golf, Bowling, Boxing, and Tennis. I'm telling you I had a blast and a pretty good workout out of it lol.

They even have games like Beer Pong! The ultimate system, I have to admit at first I wasnt on board with the Wii but after playing it at my parents house and my friends house I was hooked.  So Ashley and I got one for Christmas. I still play the Ps3 more but the Wii is definitely no slouch.

Another reason to own The Wii is if you ever feel Nostalgic, I believe most of us here are old enough to remember playing 8 bit Nintendo and all those other systems that you can download in the Nintendo store. The games are exact replicas of how we all grew up to remember playing video games, not rehashed with modern graphics and sound.

[v6sicksspeed]

yea, the wii is awesome.  i dont own any other systems (aside from a PS2 thats sitting in a closet) and i love the wii.  the sports games are pretty much the most fun and i still break a sweat boxing. and Mario Kart is pretty much the greatest thing ever

plus, like Ryann just pointed out, you can buy old school 8 bit games for the original NES, Sega, SuperNintendo, N64 and stuff.  For like $8 i downloaded the original Contra, Rad Racer and 007.  It rules.

I've had it for like 3 weeks but have been too fucking busy to play it yet.  It looks cool as hell though!

Yeah the wii is pretty badass. I have Super Smash Brothers, Super Mario Galaxy, and Guitar Hero for it. But after I beat all of those games I stopped playing it. It's really awesome at first, but it loses its cool factor after a while because the graphics are limited.

If you're a big gamer and want a system with a hard drive and amazing graphics, go with either a Xbox 360 or a PS3.

[NWINNIE34]

you want a serious work out?
get Marval Alliance.... you can pick from like 20-25 marvel characters and its a fighting / rpg game

funny thing is... the sword or weapon your character has in his/her hand reacts perfectly with how you move the Wii controller...

literally you can swing that thing 400000 miles per hour and the characters arm motion perfectly mimics yours haha
its more funny to see in person but you and 3 other friends will be swinging yur arms like a MOFO for hours

LMAO Just picked it up guys! I got the Wii (3rd gen) with 2 controllers and jackets, 2 nunchuck adaptors, Wii sports inside, and Wii Play. Can't wait to play it tonight. The guy that had it never even opened the box lol.

[Abailey4]

Sweet! What did you get it for if you dont mind me asking? Especially since it was never opened!

[wtcii]

Where the hand straps for sure. I was at a friends house and a remote got thrown through a Samsung TOC 50'' on the wall......

[driveaccord]

ahhaha talk about impulse buying   im still waiting to pick up my ps3
