That’s right, tomorrow Wal-Mart will be putting out some Wiis, not many though, and for those who don’t have one, camp out. They have a good service plan, so no worries with that and I doubt parents would want to sit outside of a Wal-Mart for a couple hours. This might be your last chance to experience waiting outside for the Wii, so get ready to camp out.
Before I left this morning, I saw the blue light on and I knew it was the News Channel, but I had to wait ’till lunch to check out the awesomeness that is the News Channel.
The music is a lot better than the Shop Channel and it’s really clean-cut and has amazing features, as in the video. The channel picture is really nice too and going through the slideshow is really nice to see where the story came from and the picture on the World Map.
Today Nintendo adds one of the most popular games in its library of classics to the Wii™ video game system’s Wii Shop Channel. The Legend of Zelda™: A Link to the Past™ goes live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Super NES®, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Return to an age of magic and heroes. When an evil magician named Agahnim begins kidnapping young maidens in Hyrule in a quest to break the imprisoning seal on Ganon, a young boy named Link is called upon to stop him. Link must venture into twisting mazes, dungeons, palaces and shadowy forests as he searches for the maidens and Princess Zelda. Traversing both Light and Dark Worlds, he must navigate eight dark dungeons, fighting evil enemies and huge bosses. Help our hero prevent Ganon and Agahnim from shattering Hyrule forever.
This is really nice! One of the best games ever hits the Virtual Console today! Now I wonder if it’s worth the download if I already have the original cartridge…
We got our Wii and we were first in line because we left the house at 3 in the morning. When we arrived we sat on these benches and we ooked like homeless people. All of the incoming employees ignored us, excet a coule of people who gave us these weird looks. We were the only ones there and it felt great to be first in line…for the first 2 hours. The paranoia set in and we thought every car would be another person and we would have to get out of the car and claim our spot.
Finally, this asan women comes up and asked, “The Wii, right?” Roy and I nodded and we went into a conversation about why we came so early and our first Wii line story. We both went back to our cars and sat for 2 hours until the manager of the Target comes out and all of a sudden everybody and their chinchilla come out and we ran to the door, luckily claiming our spot as first in line. Even if we hadn’t, we would’ve gotten one because they had 35 and the line stopped growing for a long time. at about 6:12, we all got out tickets, which some sold.
We all sat there in suspense and most in a deep state of depression due to being turned away with time ticking away at our fingertips at the slowest it’s ever been. When the time came we all took out our tickets and money and prepared ourselves. We all went in the most orderky fashion I’ve ever seen and I think I made some people’s ears bleed when they handed us our Wii. We walked out with a copy of WarioWare and our Wii and we were happy.
Also, we’re getting a 2nd controller, 2nd nunchuck, and all of the games we need on Friday since we didn’t have enough money for all of that this week.
