its on the remote it self? sheeze, thats a bad idea. if you hit it do u at least get an "are you sure" message??

No.

And that's how I lost half of what I played in Zelda, kids...

You need to hold it down for three seconds or so to shut it down.

Also It's almost impossible to hit it by accident, there aren't any buttons near it.

You've gotta be really, really freakin clumsy to actually shut it off by accident.

No, what happened was at first I had no clue that that turned off the system, I thought it was just the remote. So I was at this one part in Zelda that I won't name for the sake of spoilers, and my controller died, so I was all "Maybe if I just turn it off and on... but how? (?)

Oh, wait, the power button on it... I thought that turned off the system... but one time I tried it once and it didn't... so it must be for the controller..." *presses it*

*starts over from right after beating the forest temple*

And that's why you always save the game.

Man, I get criticized for how often I save...

If the remote was off, then how did it turn the system off?

I AM BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!

Ahem...
after a week long stay at my mothers, i am back to tell you of my journey in NeuWiiLand!

Well, for starters, i got my Wii. I didnt camp out, but i went at 5 am in the morning to best buy. I was 45th in line. It took 5 hours in line, two energy Drinks, a change in underwear, and lazor monkies, minus that last part, to get it. With the console, i bought Res Steel. unfortunately, I had to spend the rest of the money i had on Guitar hero 2 plus an extra controller for my sister, so i was out at least $120, and the rest i had spent on food while in line.
While i was in line, i met several weird characters. One was named Josh, who played WoW, and he actually got me into it. Another guy ,i didnt get his name, was looking all suspicious in line. Turned out he hadnt used the Rest room in a day. And one other guy was someone i had actually met in Phantasy Star Universe the other day. All in all, we went in, my mother came in, she held my place for a minute, yada, yada, yada, Got the game, and got in line to pay.

All in all, it was a great day, but i fell asleep afterwards and woke up the next day.

If my sources are correct, then early tomorrow (probbly Midnight) Nintendo Will launch the first update to the Shop Channel since launch, and will add new content every Monday.

It's like Waiting for Christmas, except I have to buy the presents for myself.

just like my keyboard. i was playing a game on my computer, and when i had just finished medium levels, i thought, "I've had this keyboard for about three months now, why haven't i pressed the big button on the top with a triangle?". i then found out it was a power button. i figured it only worked on Mac IIs.

I'm probably getting my Wii before the end of this week. I CAN'T WAIT!

Um, BTW, what games should I get for the Wii? I'm staying away from Excite Truck because I had a hard time playing it at the demo kiosk in my mall.

extremejon09 · **Joined:** Mon May 10, 2004 10:28 pm **Posts:** 4675

Zelda Warioware...

I don't know why they have Excite Truck up for Demo everywhere. It feels like it's oversensitive, doesn't sell people on the idea of the system very well.

Tennis would be a better choice.

how soon until they release Goldeneye64? It'd be cool to play that with the Wiimote.

Zelda glitch that will keep you from progessing if you save here

Also, after first dungeon, after bridge collapses go into town before saving. Or you will never progress.

I forgot where I read this, but it's most likely not going to be released because of legal issues.

I played a W- er I mean Revolution at Gamestop. Unfortuneately for me the game was some stupid racing game and the Wiimotewasn't sensitive to turn the car. BUT IT WAS STILL AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope I'm not the only person who gets annoyed whenever someone calls the Wii by its development name. :eekdance:

I haven't played it, but I really want to. However I'm thinking I'll hold out until more (better) games are released. The only game I'm currently interested in is Zelda, and it's coming out on the GCN...

haven't bought a wii yet, but when I do, I'll probably buy zelda, red steel and rayman
