Honestly it's nothing personal I just noticed that when I'd skim threads I'd see your name with negative comments in every Wii thread and I got kind of agitated but it's not worth an e-war man. There's nothing wrong with passing the system up at launch but it's kind of silly to post in every thread about how you don't want one yet.
Honestly the anticipation for a new Zelda game at a forum where Zelda Classic was spawned is pretty low compared to what I'd expect. Maybe it's the release on GCN is dulling the novelty of the Wii version?
If you could help it, I'd invest in the Wii version of Zelda. Not that I've played the Gamecube version, but I've found that controlling Link is a lot more fun on the Wii. I played Ocarina of Time for a bit tonight after playing TP, and aiming and such with a joystick just seemed clunky.
I might get whenever I have a surplus of money in the next few years which is not likely to happen. I just don't have Wii fever (Wii-ver) apparently.
It seems posting that you're not getting a Wii is a faux pas so I'll just officially declare it in this thread and not mention it again.
I, Ryan Alexander Mulkerin a.k.a. Rainman, hereby affirm that I have no desire to purchase the Wii at this time. Furthermore, I declare this affirmation was not made because of any negative or postive opinions of the Wii.

It's only a faux pas if you make it a point to visit every Wii thread and act like a faggot in there too; that's the one that's kind of silly.
I'm going to get one by christmas, because here in finland it comes 8th of December so it's not so long waiting, my parents promised to buy it for me, I'm going to buy TP as well at 8th Dec.

You know better than to call someone a faggot, which is what you were doing. Knock it off.
I didn't get up early enough on Sunday and was too far behind in line at Best Buy to recieve a ticket to buy a Wii 😞 Originally hadn't planned to go for a Wii just yet since I only really want Zelda, but anticipation got the better of me, and I thought it'd be good to play it this holiday weekend...

If you're going for LCD, make sure you try it out very good with everything while you can still return it. LCDs have to scale lower resolution content to its native resolution, and ghosting can be bad on some models.
I'm looking at a couple of CRT HDTV models myself around 27" since they still give the best image quality for the price and plasma is too expensive. The only problem with CRTs are the weight that comes with the size. I played Phantasy Star Universe via my PC through DVI on a HDTV I had available and 480P is definitely nice. (I'd play PSU on my PC monitor but the LCD refresh rate is too low at 16ms). I'm specifically getting a new TV for that and for when I play Zelda, either on the Wii or Gamecube (which I have component cabels for).
http://www.neogaf.com/forum//thread/129885/ Looking at these screens at Neogaf of Zelda running widescreen @ 480P makes wonder if I should opt for a 30" widescreen TV and take a hit to a fullscreen size of 24".
Anyways, there isn't much besides Zelda that I want at Wii's launch, but it would have been nice to get one...
Indeed I plan to test out my entire array of consoles and such when I get the LCD. Everything from NES, SNES, Genesis, all the way to the 360.
I started camping out at 5:00pm Friday in the freezing fucking cold, and received it at 12:10AM Sunday. Totally worth it. More fun than I have ever had in my life.
I went to Target yesterday, stood in line for 15 minutes and recived ticket number 47/60. Then I had breakfast and went to work, had my brother pick it up for me before noon. I heard that the Target store on the other side of town had more people waiting than the 60-70 systems they had. It's all about scouting things out and choosing the right place. Unfortuanatly, GameCrazy did not have a copy of Zelda for me. They were "shorted." More are supposed to come in tomorrow. I don't know what other stores stock is like, but if they still don't have a copy for me, I'll drive all over the Greater Sacramento Valley untill I find one. I'm slighty upset about it not being in on time, but since I only had the minimum of $5 down, I didn't complain too much.

It was kind of like that here. I scouted stores around 10pm and there were only two in line at the Target I got mine at, so I picked that and went back around 4:45am to be 18th in line. I heard from a guy who came later that he went to the other Targets (Super Targets) and while they were all getting like 40 systems (this one got 24), there were already way more than 40 ppl in line at all of them. Somehow this one was not crazy and in fact, one guy walked up right at 7:00 (when they handed out the tickets) and got the last one :P
I got my Wii at midnight! I have played Zelda for 12 hours so far and gone through two dungeons and holy crap the game is AMAZING. Next thing I need are component cables.... Looks like my only chance will be this Friday, 7:00am at EB Games. Sigh, that's earlier than when I went to go get my Wii pre-order.
I got a Wii with Zelda and Excite Truck sitting in a bag in the floor of my room. Not really sure if I'm feeling it. I haven't played it yet, and actually thought about taking it back. Hmm, second guessing my decision I guess...
Get S-Video cables if you can't get Component. S-Video is still a huge step up from nasty Composite.

Hook it up and play Zelda NOW!!!
Well, if I do that... I can't take it back if I decide I don't want it. :tongue:
I seriously doubt that you'll decide that you don't want your Wii after playing Zelda. Besides, you could still get a good price on eBay for a repackaged, used-once Wii.
