damn....he looks and acts like mougli!
I'm surprised no-one has commented on his sister yet.
Damn.. what do they feed him with ?
damn his sister looks hot :P
His sister is a floating head?
Too bad it wasn't a fake empty box stuffed with clothes
If you play the video in reverse, you can see that he's actually a demon. His tail and horns are a giveaway.
@Samboini:
The guy in the yellow shirt is TOTAL HOTTIE!!!
@agent
Wow dude, looks like someone got a Wii box with a sweater in it huh?
Wow... The kids reaction is similar to that of my 12 year old sister... earshattering! What's he trying to do, kill the poor people? I have gotten much better gifts than a stupid wii and I never squealed like that! Usually my reaction is, "oh my god!" whenever I recieve an awesome gift...
NINTENDO-SIXTY FOURRRRR!!!!
Wow, the kid's acting like he got a Playstation. Now that would be kind of kewl.
yeah but then at some point hed realize that there are like 3 good games for the ps3 and start crying.
@Wiigee
i wonder then what he's gonna do when he realizes there are no good games for the Wii
Do you guys have to turn every post into some sort of flaming? :\
Each console has its good and bad things..
And you can't say which console has better games, cause they aren't aimed at the same type of people.. I doubt you'd see a hardcore gamer with a Wii, or people playing a PS3 at a family reunion.. It just won't happen..
The Xbox 360 has one or two great games, but then you have to deal faulty NAT issues in Xbox Live and twelve year olds screaming in your ear. And then there's the ridiculous point system. Why the hell can't Microsoft just use real money? You have to be a math whiz to figure out what 100 points means in terms of real dollars. Even after I left the Xbox 360 after two Red Rings of Death, I couldn't cancel Xbox Live from Microsoft's website or even on the console itself. Why the heck do they have to make it so hard? I don't want to talk to those idiots. I get enough quality time with them when Windows gets deactivated by WGA after a hardware change.
My advice is, don't get an Xbox. Get a PS3 and wait for developers to make better games for it. It's obvious from masterpieces like MG4 that it has the capability of better graphics. The 360 just got released a little earlier, that's all.
@ WiiGee
Judging from your name I'd say you're a Wii owner, so I'm sure you know what it's like to not have any games to play...
Welcome to the wonderful world of downranking!
This video is a SHAM, it was staged. Look at how the kid looks at the camera for his que to go nuts. No respect from me at all. A wii, come on, this kid is going to be teased tomorrow at school. His folks should have spent the extra hundred and got him a PS3.
And for the guy bitchin about NAT issues, just set a DMZ in your router using the routers IP address or set it to have your console's IP address, either way will fix NAT issues, which on the ps3 is not an issue at all. Any Nat type will let you play, talk and compete in games, home, chat through PSN...
Judging by these comments, I have to assess that Engadget is now full of idiots who take the internet waaaaay too serious.
And for the record, @Patriks7, there was no flame war till you started it.
100 points = 1.25
@ Tom
Since you're obviously not clever enough to notice on your own, the flame war started with kingofdaberbz comment.
Although Microsoft's Xbox LIVE service is most definitely the most well put-together online service, it does kind of suck that it's a pay-to-play subscription. Also, The PS3 has some good exclusive titles, but the Halo and Gears series make up for it. The 360 is also a better console for streaming media from the home PC and has a much broader range of titles than the PS3. There are a lot more family games available for the 360 than the PS3, and just as many, if not more, action games and shooters. However, the Wii is easily the best console for the casual gamer (however terrible from a hard-core gamer's perspective)
Those damn Canadians know how to put on a show.
I stopped being wowed by the Xbox "exclusives" when I realized that just about all of them could be bought for my PC. And Halo sucks. Halo has always sucked. It's one of the most over-hyped games in gamer history. Gears of War was okay, with kind of a trash story line. You can get it for your PC. Bioshock was cool, but later available for PS3. Also available for PC.
Meanwhile, PS3 has God of War 3, Rachet and Clank, Gran Turismo 5, Little Big Planet, Motorstorm 1 & 2, Uncharted 2, Resistance 1 & 2, Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, etc, etc. Can't get that stuff for your PC.
God will you guys shut up already,
Buy the console you like and play games. Stop arguing over whos console is better, that got old in 2006.
Personally i have a PS3, Why?
Because ive had a PS1,2,PSP and the majority of my mates have PS3's
I don't care if someone prefers 360 because i have bigger things to worry about that what other people think of my console.
It's as if all you guys worked for either sony or microsoft and singlehandedly made both consoles.
Thats the only way you could justify going mental when someone says something negative about your beloved console.
Just as well, Paul. All of those games, bar LBP and God of War, are terrible.
@ zioncat
Please be aware, that not all Canadians are as spastic as this child.
Apparently Paul Chapel doesn't play video games- he just badmouths Microsoft products. Probably hasn't touched a PS3 or a Wii either.
Halo always sucked? Not true. I agree Halo 3 sucks, but that's only because it's the same thing as Halo 2. It's a solid game- just as they all have been. The only reason Halo 3 and Halo 2 were so popular were because of how revolutionary the first one was for console gaming. I dare you to find a game that compared to Halo CE back when it was released- and I'm talking about on consoles, I know there were a few PC games that could compare.
@Paul Chapel
I counted 3, maybe four games that I thought were good games. You just named all of the exclusives, not separating good ones. And BTW, you just hate on microsoft products. If you want a truly stunning game, build a gaming PC for the same amount you would've put towards that PS3 when it came out and play crysis on high or ultra-high. Not only are the visuals stunning, but the physics and originality of the storyline is out of this world.
BTW, are you the one who brags about his S550? You people who waste all of their money on a car for bragging rites. I can actually buy a car, and have enough money to fill my BMW M6 (lie, I only have an '08 528).
If you take in account that the PS3 can play PS2 games through emulation, the PS3 dwarfs the Xbox 360's library and according to the latest statistics more people still pay PS2 titles than all the other consoles. I've used about every consumer product put out by Microsoft, except for the Zune and I gotta say, I wish they would just stay away from hardware. They suck at it, but their fan base puts up with it, which enables them to continue with their shoddy business practices.
I got one Red Ring of Death with my 360 and was willing to give then another chance. But after the second one, I had to move on. If more people were willing to do the same, maybe they would clean up their act.
Well, owning all three conolses, I believe that the PS3 is the best console of tis generation. I've played al the games listed by paul, minus MGS4 and killzone 2 (obviously lol), and those are basically a list of my top favorite games, with only jak 2 missing from the list. The PlayStation brand has been around much longer, and has plenty more games worth playing than the Xbox 360. and trophies are better than achivements. done... feel free to flame or whatever, but i just state the facts, and im not coming back to see what you say...
NAT issues? Surely you must be joking.
You only have NAT issues if you don't know how to add port exceptions (for the static IP of your 360) to your router/firewall, which I assume you don't. Most of the recommended-by-salesperson (Linksys, Netgear, D-Link) broadband routers allow the 360 to talk to the internet mutually (send and receive) whereas most VPN or decent firewalls/routers will only allow the 360 to send data.
Dam...that kid seemed to be waiting a long while for it!
Yes. And now would be the ideal time to Invade Canada and get the one thing more that is more valuable than their oil, this kids Wii. Send in the troops!
he looks evil
In the future that'll be the same kid that shoots his family for not letting him play as a punishment.
Exactly, can you imagine what he would have done had he not got it? I can picture him setting fire to the place.
Should be the lead role in a new adaptation of the Excorsist.
swingin' dick hero - yeep, but only in the USA - where EVERY IDIOT can get a gun - in Poland we havo ZERO shoting psychopats, cause it's almost imposible for a normal citizen to get a gun, well if you're hunter and don't have any crime record, than you'll get a hunting gun but you have to have permission from the police, and go thru psycological tests etc., and we have LESS MURDERS IN A YEAR IN WHOLE 40 MILION POLAND THAN U HAVE IN LOS ANGELES ALONE IN A MOUNTH !!!! You gotta be an idiot to think that games, or ANYTHING else is responsible for thouse murderous raids in USA, THIS IS 100% "everybody can get a gun" policy fault !!! I repeat - 100% !
oh hell, sorry for the double
@lennox
Yes, you guys have very strict gun laws in Poland which would probably explain why you guys get invaded and occupied everytime a war breaks out in Europe. Maybe if Poles had the right to bear arms like we do in our constitution like we do Poland wouldn't be the only country with more war losses than France.
P.S. Yes, we seem to do murder quite well in the US, but at least we're smart enough not to let twin brothers who resemble Creed Bratton run our country.
@ Adam
Fully agree Adam,
A population without guns is just waiting for the next invasion.
"get" probably thinks the EU will stop the next invasion LOL !
or maybe the UN ! ROFL!!!
@ get
If Putin and the Russians ever truly go nuts and invade Eastern Europe, bringing them to Poland's border with thousands of tanks and troops, there's only one force on the planet Earth that could and would stop them. Those idiot American gun loving psychopaths.
There would be no Poland without the Americans. But maybe you're one of those Sieg-Heil loving Polish skin head bastards who would have preferred a Hitler victory.
@get/lenox, way to loose any credibility. good job there.
Hate to say it but when it comes to war it's the idiot gun lovers who save the pacifists.
@setclock, you americans did not win the war, you did not obtain the enigma machine from the germans and no body wants to invade you beacuse what do you have of value? The British did most of it, you americans just helped, pitty some of you have such a poor education that you think otherwise... hollywood isnt always right! Also It was the british who promised to protect poland... not America, the US had to be attacked before you did anything about the Axis!
@ Brittain
Ok, next time we'll let Brittain develop a new super weapon and drop it on the enemy. You guys sure woulda been fine without us.
I think the real point they were trying to make is that, contrary to that unprovoked verbal assault by that idiot polish douchebag, it is better to be a gun toting american psycho than a pushover pussy pole.
Thats all fine and dandy, Lennox. But then you would HAVE to live in POLAND.
I'd rather take a chance of some kid with a gun killing me, than live in that fucking place.
100% true!
Why are you morons going about American gun murders when this kid is a Canadian?
@Brittain
Last time I checked, the US was fighting a war on two fronts, with the japanese front being more demanding than the european front.
@americans
Last time I checked, Germany was also developing the same technologies for nuclear wess- I mean, weapons.
The british needed the US forces to help win the fight, and both fought evenly. The brits would've been defeated without american assistance, and vice versa. The RAF and USMC won the fight.
ahh yes poland. the mexico of europe.
Wow how did we go from a kid getting a Wii, to PS3 flame wars and USA gun control? Geez, people, get a fucking life, its a kid that got a Wii. Share his excitement for once.
just a question:
how does the right for citizens to bear arms (no, not those kind of arms, hehe) prevent a country from being invaded? isnt that the purpose of a government military?
@ lowdef
Lmfao. Well done.
@ sjdurfey
The US Founding Fathers gave it's citizenry the right to bear arms NOT to protect itself against a burglar entering through your bedroom window, but to protect itself against it's own government. They -the founding fathers- viewed the concept of a nation where only the government/military has arms as a system too dangerous and too prone to use it's military against it's own people. To assume that all you need is a government-controlled well armed military to protect you ignores all threats to freedom from within.
@Britain
After Germany finished bombing most of your islands airfields you were pretty much finished. Your transition to night-time air raids over Germany was to little affect other than reducing your air looses. Without the MASSIVE influx of new American supplies given to the Allied powers including thousands of vehicles to Stalin, Germany would have held most of it's occupied territories for decades and Stalin and the commies would have ended up in the Urals killing each other in droves.
Not to mention how America's continued isolationism would have provided Germany just a little more time to develop the nuclear technology they were very close to acquiring.
You guys would have been more than screwed without us, but you keep believing it's our Hollywood movies telling us so if it makes you feel better thinking Brittan could have gone it alone and saved Europe "eventually".
@Adam
I disagree with the Poland guy's comments as far as the gun violence problem in the United States. I think the problem is a societal one, involving cultural issues, poverty, inner city problems, etc. it has nothing to do with the availability of firearms. They just make the violence easier to commit. I'm a Liberal with a capital L, but I believe in the responsible ownership of firearms as a fundamental right.
That said, your "you guys have very strict gun laws in Poland which would probably explain why you guys get invaded and occupied everytime a war breaks out in Europe." is just idiotic. A bunch of citizens with hunting rifles are going to do shit in a modern war. This isn't the freaking revolutionary war!
Poland's defeats, like other small countries in europe had to do with having a smaller military, both troops and equipment. The country itself has less than 1/2 the population of Germany, and 2/3 the population of the UK.
@Adam, Lennox and the rest
Both you guys are talking like a pair of drunk ****s.
I'm a Pole, but how on earth I could say that anything's wrong with Americans, while MY OWN ****ING SOCIETY made some mentally retarted midget a president. But hey, the Poles are getting smarter (really!) and these idiots won't be in charge no more, don't you worry about that. My point is, that there are many jerk nationalists in Poland; there's too much I'd to say about stupidity of Poles to make it quick for a comment under some news on engadget, so let's get to something else.
SO:
Poland is NOT AS CRAPPY as you guys might think (that's for you, Adam). Really, try visiting silesia, not WARSAW which is the nest of the biggest morons in this country. But honestly, there is no place in Poland without any idiots.
Check out some info about the city I live in http://www.rybnik.pl/index.php?id=205 (don't worry, it's in english).
And guys... remember, we LOVE America. Some ****tards are too damn conceited to admire that, but we do. Sure thing that you're not PERFECT, but nobody is. Give up the fight guys, save your nerves.
ROTFL! Scary what Wii does to people...
I think it'd be hilarious to see his face if when he opens it is just an empty box his dad brought off eBay.
my friend bought a macbook box off ebay put some small gift (forgot what it was) and a brick in it wrapped it and gave it to someone. lol
i think it would be great to do that and put the wii in like a box from some clothing store
"Watch me superman dat ooh! Den watch me yuuuu! Watch me crank it erryday! Soulja boy in dis ooooh!" Perfect LOL.
Soulja boy in dis...."ooooh"?
Consumerism at its finest.
Yes, clearly this is a kid who has it all.
You say it like it's a bad thing.
Man! That kid acts, sounds and looks like bobcat Goldthwait from Police Academy! Damn! Well his Christmas was cool at least.
Yet not once did he say thank-you!
you're right. Maybe that was anger and not joy.
Seen that "smile" at the end? As soon as he turns his head, he says in a deep, low voice, "I'm gonna hurt you real bad for this".
@giuliop
is he the crack fox now? lols
That child is mentally deranged.
Freakin Canuckers.
@GingerFox
That's 'cause no one punched him in the... tits.
please, for the love of god, that kid does NOT represent canada
It's too late! YOU JUST GOT REPRESENTED
id much rather have that kid rep the US than a lo of people that do.
Whenever Nintendo gets these types of reactions, they deserve to win the console wars. Or maybe they just have the biggest (and youngest) fanboys. I think we've all seen the same N64 reaction video; anyone know if there's a video similar to these for the gamecube?
don't be stupid, you KNOW nobody liked the gamecube.
Hey maybe he can sell it on Ebay for 400 dollars in ten years like the n64 kid did.
I think that every time any console maker gets this type of reaction, there's a child that needs electroshock.
Or they have a very good viral Internet marketing team.
@robert pierce
I liked gamecube :(
May not have been as cool to have as the others but I still played it a ton! Anyway, here's to the next generation.
meh, looks like typical kids to me
And he's already bored of it.
Nintendo Sixty Foooooour!
Isn't this what they call a déjà vu? :)
He's a baby zombie from Thriller. Kill him. He's already gone, just do it.
Engadget is two days behind in posting this....two days behind FOX NEWS. This can only mean the world is ending.
LOL Gnoll.
Why would you name yourself after a crappy mob in Elwynn Forest?
Try 10 days, unless they celebrate xmas on jan1st in canada.
Gnoll just admitted to watching Fox News.
FAIL
My internet is eating my replies so if these comments are repeated it's my dang ISP's fault:
1) Gnolls are WAY more than WoW mobs, and
2) My PARENTS were watching Fox News, I really shouldn't have forgotten to mention that the first time, that's why it's twice as sad that Fox News reported about this before Engadget (though really it's not much of a story)
There is no doubt in my mind that the only reason there is still a Wii shortage is because Nintendo is keeping it that way. Look how everyone EXCEPT Nintendo has already dropped a price on their "newest" gaming console. If you keep the supply limited, people don't care that the price hasn't been dropped a dime... as long as they can get their hands on one. Talk about price fixing.
Who cares what Nintendo is doing with their Wii consoles? I had no problem really finding one in June or July at most consumer electronic stores. Fact remains, the Wii's high demand with smaller supply should actually put its price point higher than $249, but they've kept it there. Believe me, I don't think Nintendo knew that the demand on this thing was going to be this high for this long.
The poor kid is obviously in need of some specialized care and probably (even if unfortunately now the practice has gone out of fashion) a good lobotomy.
He's reaction though was somewhat similar of that I had when I got my first Ferrari convertible for my 17th birthday from my mom (but at least that one was a limited edition).
There are bad lobotomies?
You could miss the head altogether and remove parts of the patient's stomach.
Or, you might mistake it for a rhizotomy and paralyse them for life :P
Psh.
Yeah, right.
That kid needs a lobotomy like he needs a hole in his--
Oh, wait...
Looking at these kids gone crazy upon receiving their Wii makes me want to buy one although I've never wanted one before. =D They made me think that it's an absolutely totally awesome stuff which is the best stuff one can have. Is it?
wouldve been funnier if it was like that xbox one after all that excitement he finds nothing but sweaters inside XD
Just imagine his reaction when he gets his meal after standing in a bread line all day.
whats wrong with this kid?
