Ghost Squad and Wii Zapper, Fun for Everyone

Ghost SquadGhost Squad is the most fun Light Gun game going for the Wii, at this point and time. Ghost Squad is easy to play and pick up, anyone who can point and click can play. The game originates from an ultra cheesy arcade shooter produced by SEGA. With Wii they added in party mode, new options to the missions, a training segment, and an option to upload scores high scores with Wii Connect. In party mode you can play with up to Four players and do not need 4 Wii Zappers. The single player mode game starts with 3 missions that grow larger with more options as you continually beat them. The levels of the Missions increase, which means more Bad Guys spawning from suitcases and couches! As you play you can unlock a large number of weapon that fire different and different Skins for your Characters.

Get the Wii Zapper and Some of those pistols and have a blast listening to the cheesiest dialog while you annihilate terrorists that spawn from chairs and suitcases. Its truly amazing how they got 150+ terrorists on airforce one without anyone noticing!... sneaky t's

Umbrella Chronicles is a great game for 2 player mode, but not to have fun with a group.

Before going out on Fridays we have Ghost Squad pre-game sessions (no more beer pong). The fun consists of Two Wii Perfect Shots (which we fight over) and Two Wii Zappers (which comes with links crossbow training). Then we make inside Ghost Squad cracks all night, chicks are into the Ghost Squad guy who can complete all three missions.

Nintendo Wii Campout and First Impressions

Wii LineWell its been a few days and everywhere online all you hear if that the Wii lines and wait were much better and less dangerous than the PS3 lines. Having so experienced it myself I'd whole-heartedly agree. The whole crowd had a good feel to it. I arrived at about 10 pm the night before and I was number 23 in line. The location I was at was rumored to have about 45 units coming in so I was confident I was in the clear. A few people I had met and myself came up with the idea to get a list going and remembering a story I saw on Digg I started asking if people would mind being branded in sharpie with their number in line. This worked out well and everyone was pretty cool with the idea. There were movies on laptops with everyone invited around, a large capture the flag game as well as a whiffle ball game during the night. I was in on a 8 person game of Mario Kart on DS with all people sitting around me. Overall everyone was nice and it was a good experience.

Wii Line

Around 530 AM lots of older parent looking types starting showing up and the last minute people starting piling on the end of the line. At about 730 we easily had 70+ people waiting outside this Best Buy. The manager of this Best Buy made an appearance shortly there after and counted out the first 45 people. After that he told all the rest that he only had 45 Wii's and everyone past that point would not be receiving one. Many of the people left but a few stubborn folk stuck around. 815 rolled around and they handed out the Wii tickets. Then at about 845 we were all let in and got to finally purchase our Wiis. The setup in the store was superb and everyone was painless. The last person to receive a Wii arrived at about 415 that morning.

Overall the wait wasn't too bad and being the first time I had camped out for anything I enjoyed it, I won't be doing it again too soon but I'm glad I got a Wii.

Now on to the Wii Review

Nintendo's Wii is very small and a deceiving package but after getting everything hooked up my roommates and myself were ready to hit some Wii Sports. The controls work very well and all the games have a really short learning curve. The graphics are disappointing but I want to see some titles that really push the Wii because thus far most of these games are pushing the envelope. Within the first night two of our girlfriends were up and playing and actually smoked me in bowling...so much for being a gamer. The game is very easy to pick up if you have never played a game before and immediately draws in non-gamers. That is the most unbelievable thing is that it really does have an immediate universal appeal. Girlfriends, parents, young kids, etc all will love this system.

The next question is will it please the more hardcore gamers? I can say that the second title I picked up being Zelda: Twilight Princess will do this ten fold. I'm only about 3 hours into this game but so far its bringing me back to the Ocarina of time days and this is a place I glad to be back in. The game is engrossing. Major reviewing sites do this way better than I can hope to but lets just say all the hype is not wrong.

Here are a few pictures from the wait...

Best Buy and the Wii

Well I have come across some information about how many Wii's each best buy will be getting. For the district near us which is a good size suburban area near a few major cities the average number was around 70 Wii's. The highest I saw a store getting was 140 and more than half the stores were in the 80's as far as a Wii count. The Lowest a store within 50 miles of here was getting was 45 Wii's. These numbers aren't exact for every store but hopefully they can give you an idea of how many your store will get. If its a small best buy bet around 50, and a large store will be well over 100. Now these numbers are what the stores "ordered" to have shipped to them, which means they could possibly end up with more/less. But the end number for launch should be damn close to the average. Most employees do NOT have this information yet.
