Does it have SUPER MARIO BROTHERS?
Nintendo Wii
Left work at 4pm today, to discover that about 5 people had set up camp outside. They all stopped me to ask if I knew what deals were going on, I know, but I didnt tell them.
But REALLY, how SAD are some people?
A game called Super Mario Galaxy is out in 2007, it looks FUCKING AWESOME.Originally Posted by funky
Do they JUMP INTO PIPES?
I always liked RACOON Mario. He turned into STONE
Who needs 3billion-bit graphics when you have THIS kind of playability...

Instead of jumping into pipes, Mario gets shot into space from a pipe, apparently.Originally Posted by funky
Racoon Mario was ace, but frog Mario was better. :geek:
That's far too detailed, I remember it as this:

You work in a TOY SHOP where they sell a console that is already SOLD OUT.Originally Posted by rhythmbastard
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?![]()
that's a GAMEBOY image. Not the NES.Originally Posted by Ellie
Oh, I never had a proper games console. The Amiga 500 & 1200 were the closest things we had.
And what is THIS SHIT?Originally Posted by rhythmbastard
Are you on some kind of POWER TRIP or something? I'm sure they were all in AWE of your abilities on the TILL![]()
I dont work on the till, i'm a multimedia product advisor on TeenTronics.Originally Posted by Christian
I remember getting that when about 10 years ago, I completed it in 3 hours. The end boss was TOUGH though.Originally Posted by Ellie
Well you didn't do a very good job ADVISING them about the product.
That's the kind of job description any FOOL can see through.Originally Posted by rhythmbastard
SHOP GIRL WHO WE DON'T LET NEAR THE CASH then
You're not very friendly are youOriginally Posted by rhythmbastard
These are people who are willing to spend a whole night camping to pay you good money (in case you had nintendo wii's)
cat, hat; in French, chat, chapeau in Spanish, el gato in a sombrero.
We arent allowed to tell them, because we dont know how many of the packages we will get what they will cost.Originally Posted by Ellie
The manager knows, but he hasnt said.
But in your first post you said you DID know, you just didn't say.Originally Posted by rhythmbastard
Don't tell me you're not INTEGRAL to the Wii sales promotion AFTER ALL. I'm in SHOCK![]()
Are these things available to pre-order online and pay about £20 extra to guarantee delivery on the day it's released? Surely if you're that much of a games fanatic then it might be worth paying that extra to not have to sleep in the cold & wet.
I said I knew of the packages, but didnt know what packages we'd be getting. There are about 15 different packages, we'll get 6 of them.Originally Posted by Christian
Nope, most places have sold out of pre-orders already.Originally Posted by Ellie
The only way of getting one is to camp out outside stores which haven't already sold their allocation as they didn't have a pre-order system.
Come on, Ellie, you should sympathise. Just add someone playing "Rock With You" through a portable CD player and a few banners and it could be one of your Jacko stalking sessions!
When the PS2 came out we knew the deals we would be doing a WEEK before it got released. Only passed on this info to people we liked though![]()

I remember working in Virgin when the Playstation 2 was released. They went down in price and became freely available in no time.
The Sega Dreamcast release time was amusing since it flopped so quickly. Poor manchilds.
Those things HAVE to be done at a specific place and time thoughOriginally Posted by Christian

Well done on such a sad but genius money making schemeOriginally Posted by wendy the goat
I just wonder what sort of people would have paid for the info and what they did with it afterwards.
It was mainly chavvy friends of friends who lived in Thamesmead/Abbey Wood/Plumstead sort of area and would gladly get a bus to Shooters Hill and camp outside his house.
LOONS

SO what does the Nintendo Wii do, that NOTHING ELSE CAN DO?
The remote control has a sensor on it so it emulates what you do on screen. Like if you were playing Bowling on Wii Sports and did all the moves with the remote at the TV it would emulate it on screen. Wii Sports also includes golf, boxing, tennis and baseball from what i've seen.Originally Posted by Agnetha
It looks quite impressive from what I've seen on TV. But I'd feel faintly (in fact make that VERY) embarrassed waving my arms around sat in front the TV at home.
I think they sound fun, but I will only buy one if there's a Mario Kart on it.
I want a Tetris game that you control by doing the robot to move the shapes![]()
I suppose the advantage (or not) of any Nintendo product is that all of their popular catalogue games get re-released for every console so no doubt we'll soon have Nintendogs, Trauma Centre, Mario Kart, Pikmin, etc. making their way onto it with updates.
Has there EVER been a Nintendo console without one?Originally Posted by cwej
NES and Gameboy aside that is.
