Your secret is safe with me!!

Pardon my ignorance but what the heck is a Wii. I mean I know it is some sort of gaming thing but you can get online with it?? I'm so in the dark ages [sigh]

Ya, it's the coolest gaming console ever. More active than the typical couch potato gaming systems. I MUST GET ONE! From looking at Wikipedia...
"The Internet Channel is a version of the Opera web browser for use on the Wii by Opera Software and Nintendo". It looks like you can access the internet just as you would with a P.C. (or MAC) only you have to use the controller to type the letters.

Here's a question for Jamz though.
"The final version of the browser will be available in March 2007 and will be free to download until the end of June that year. After this period the browser will cost 500 Wii Points to download"
What's a Wii point and how do you get them?

You can purchase through the Wii or gift cards.

Basically 100 points = $1.00 so 500 points if 5 bucks.

It is how you purchase the old NES, SNES, Genesis, TurboGrafix, and N64 games for the Wii

Oh ok.
Think you could play ROMs or would someone have to figure out how to mod. it first? You could probably fit just about every NES and SNES game on one DVD.

This is true. One can pick up a Wii points card [or whatever they're called] at their local Wally world for $10 [1000 points], $20 [2000 points], etc. The wifey is picking me one up now...gotta get Zelda [the original] and Mario 64. I'll download those to let everyone know how smoothe it goes. I was informed that, once you download a game and for some crazy reason you loose the game [or it's data] because the Wii's memory gets wiped or whatever ... you can 're' download the game at no cost. We'll see.

It's an addiction...

I'm on the Zora level...the twilight part was cool. I liked riding that bird thingy...

I wish I had more time to play it, but the newbie in the house (Brooklyn) is a hand full sometimes.

Why can't you people be content with playing games on your consoles?
We are content with playing games on our consoles.....

We are just taking advantage of all the options the Wii has to offer. If the Wii allowed me to make pancakes, I'd take advantage of that option too.

T-Minus 90 minutes until takeoff for VEGAS BABY!

I finished it. It wasn't hard, but some of the puzzles were a pain (when you have been playing too long). After taking a good 20-30 minute break, I coulf figure them out.

Now that I'm done, I just have to go back and do all the side missions.

BTW, In Kakariko Village, there's the MALO Mart...I have to ask, doesn't that little dude remind you of Urban Cowboy a little? Go to his store at night and try to go in. He'll say something like, "Think. Is there any reason we should be open at this hour"?

It cracks me up...I swear Nintendo read these forums, and they used UC's personality fot that dude.
