I'm liking what I've seen of the Wii, but I'm in no rush to pick it up.

It's tempting but I think I'll still wait a bit. I've got plenty to play till I pick one up.

I voted yes.  I'm almost certain I will get one at launch.  I haven't been so excited about a console launch since I was a kid!

Yes, as soon as the pricing and date are revealed I'll be at the store reserving mine.

Nope. No Wii, possibly but probably not a PS3 and never a 360.

I said yes, but that will also depend on the price. Like tynstar said, 199-249 is what I would want.

I'm pretty excited about the Wii. I'll actually pre-order mine soon as they come out with a price. Prolly pay it off in full too. I imagine I'll get mine from Best Buy or Future Shop though cause EB here tends to overbook their pre-orders massively.

As soon as I hear that Gamestop and EB are accepting reservations, I'm there.  I just hope it's by the end of the month.

I was back on forth on whether or not I was going to get it at launch for a while, but the launch titles are just too much for me to ignore.

Also, I RRRREEEEAAAALLLYYY hate to admit it, but, the controller is kinda cool.  Who said that?

The way you have to shoot arrows in Zelda is beyond cool.

The new Zelda is still coming out on GC though, right?

I think it is coming out for the Gamecube, but it has special controls for the Wii.  Using the above bow example, to shoot an arrow, you have to hold one part of the controller in front of you, and then draw the other part back to pull the arrow back in the game.

It looks goofy, but that is usually a sure sign that it's going to be fun.

You can also fish in the Wii Zelda as though you were truly fishing.
