rikko 20 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 The controller works really well, did feel a complete prat playing baseball and golf with it though, but it follows your movements amazingly well. Its still weird to be doing golf swings in my living room clutching nothing but a glorified tv remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with the golf, Does the harder or softer you swing make a difference in the game, or do have to select the power with a button and just swing?

rikko 20 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 nope, runs off 2 AA batterys. Claims you get 30 hours use out of them in the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Cool, tempted to invest in one of these but £180 is a bit much for a console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26363 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 £180? Thats cheap enough. The last console I owned was a Megadrive but I am tempted to get one of these due to the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Cool, tempted to invest in one of these but £180 is a bit much for a console Pretty cheap when you think how several years ago the PS2 and Xbox costed £300 initially, and the PS3 with its compenents will cost £500 (am I right?).

But there's no way I would pay out anything like that either Im not really a console person but this one looks like it could be fun, just not sure it would get enought use to justify spending £180 + extras on.

Aye, I'm thinking of getting one after Christmas and my birthday should I be prepared to fork out the cash on it. Depends if I'm willing to give another Nintendo system a go, as my Gamecube is gathering dust these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34497 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Have got 6 of these: http://www.consolepassion.co.uk/nintendo-game-and-watch.htm from when I was a kid that my mam showed me she had kept today. All in perfect working order. They're going for £60 by the look of things. Crazy geeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikko 20 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 No idea mine was preordered 2 months ago. You'll probably have to wait a week or so until they get more instock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen the price of controllers and games So tempted but there are factors against, half the games on play wont be out till march, the two things i mentioned about and i would like the thing before xmas which may be unlikely.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Wor lass has just paid £260 on e-bay for one for me. Now I'm not much of a gamer but i reckon these look class and everyone seems to be raving about them, can't wait for christmas now. Are the sports games built in to them? Sits back and waits for Sima to slag them big time, nerd style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 How good are they? Are they worth £260.00 and what accessories/games do you reckon are worth purchasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima 0 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Can't really recommend any games as I've only got Wii Sports and Wii Play atm, but Zelda's supposed to be the best game on it right now. If you buy Wii Play you get an extra remote as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Is wii play the one where you get the fishing, table tennis and the remote, £45ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
