ANYONE FOR WII!!!!

yenks · Post by **yenks** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 6:26 pm

Bought this console joint with a mate.

And weve been gettin into the whole online virtual console game purchases.

So far weve bought old skool games, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, Donkey Kong country, Mario 64 and Ecco the Dolphin.

Some of the games use the wii remote which is wicked, but some need the classic controller. We only found out the other day that on top of the wii console is a panel that opens up that has 4 ports for old gamecube controllers. So weve been using the gamecube controllers to play 2 player old nes games. However i reckon were gonna buy the wii classic controllers as the layout of the buttons is alot more functional than on the gamecube controllers.

Zelda rocks, just defeated the 3rd dungeon, great game, so many different styles of play.

News for owners... http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/12/15/nintendo_wii_recall/

Nintendo has put out a voluntary recall on the Wii-mote. You can get a replacement with a beefcake strap.

Not sure if this is on in Aus yet, but it will be soon.

I tried wii-ly hard to see what the fuss was all about, watching a few mates playing with their wii whilst some one lese was mixing.
I want to know if they're planning on having a wireless controll that could interface with a tune mixing application like tractor or serato. Just seemed a bit low tech to be playing tennis with wire less and having somebody else slaving over the decks in stead of being able to sit in comfort and mix tunes whilst watchng the games of tennis.

Hopefully it looks and plays like this though!

Mad. Everyday passes I want a Wii more. I don't think I can hold the urge any longer.

Don't wii-gret not getting a wii, just wii-mind yourself that they are in wii-ally high demand, you should wait until they wii-issue and wii-stock them in the wii-tail stores.

So now everyones had their wii's for a bit, what games and stuff are people digging.

Im over red steel, its hard to control and i dont enjoy fighting games.

What games are people digging? And anyone know where the cheapest games are? Ebay's got fuckall...

Prob gonna buy Tony Hawk today or another sports game...

Post by **huge** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 10:00 am

yeah red steel is shit. gunna bung it on ebay unless hardy wants to buy it at a discounted price

best games are Rayman Raving Rabbids, Super Monkey Ball and of course Zelda if i can ever figure out how to get out of the severe stuckness i am in. huhuh. (shut up hardy

)

waiting for WarioWare and new Mario

(can you tell i enjoy mini games??)

i desperately want a wicked racing game. im all about racing games. in fact ive probably been playing mario kart double dash (cube disc) more than anything lately.

cant wait for mario kart 64 to come out pon the download.

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 10:05 am

Fuck forgot u could play game cube games....maybe i should buy some of them off ebay...does the wii mote work with game cube games H?

Also do u know when the lan adapters coming out?

Post by **huge** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 10:07 am

you need some cube controllers. C has a couple of wireless ones so its awesome.

gamecubue games are not as cheap as they should be.

lan adapter should be out later this month maybe?? maybe early feb. not sure.

i thought excite truck didnt come out till later in the month.

I think Wario Ware comes out Jan 25.

but yeah Rayman is a wicked game, so many mini games, too bad im still waitin on a 2nd nunchuck controller from pre-order (hurry up damnit)

but really its all about the virtual console games, every friday they release more.

Gunstar Heroes - wicked game - same style as Metal Slug games

Donkey Kong Country - Just clocked this game for the first time, had this as a kid but never finished it. When u fight the last boss, it makes u think uve won and starts loading the credits, then the boss comes to life and usually kills u by surprise, then u have to kill him again + more.

but yeah cant wait for wario ware and mario.

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 3:38 pm

Just orderd a wireless router.

So once in on line i just go and buy arcade games yea?

yenks · Post by **yenks** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 3:51 pm

yep, you just go to shopping, and go virtual console. (after uve added wii points)

A little trick i learned, to get access to some games (Gunstar Heroes) that arent available under an australian wii, you simply change your country to united kingdom (after u bought wii points using australia (they cheaper for australians)) and then re login to virtual console and games available in the uk will be there for u to purchase.
pretty stupid that some games are avail in uk but not aus, but very simply to get around.

djboganofbeatz · Post by **djboganofbeatz** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 4:47 pm

apparently theres a wii update that if you change country you lose all your wii points...
about the ps3 controller winning most innovative technology thats just bullS**T for generations sony has been copying nintendo and getting all the awards for it...

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 8:45 am

Brought Tony Hawk Downhill last night. Where the fuck do people get off charging $98 for a freakin game....Luckily it was worth it. Im hooked and so is my girl.

Not like normal Tony Hawk where u just skate round a park and do tricks...Its all about downhill racing and doing dope tricks. Kammo would absolutley love this game, any skater would.

The controls work perfectly too, u sort of hold the remote sideways and tilt it from left to right..

Highly recommended game 4 outta 5 stars.

There was fukall games in JBhifi to choose from tho, hurry up march 2007.

Post by **huge** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 8:51 am

yeah i tried it again last night and once you change your country the wii bugs out totally.

so very few games anywhere. can you even buy a wii at the moment?

a) Red Steel is gay. Ebay the bastard

b) You suck at Zelda

c) Warioware and Mario will own everything

d) Mario Kart in any form absolutely rules

djboganofbeatz · Post by **djboganofbeatz** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 10:39 pm

my favourite game so far would have to be zelda (obviously)
i didnt think red steel was too bad but im not edzactly the biggest fps fan out there... like yehh they cooda done better with sword fighting etc. but ey i dont mind it...

rayman is.... i dont like it all that much but eyy u get a few kicks out of it...

wii sports definetely great haha... yehh these arnt reviews so i will stop there...
finding it difficult to find an extra nunchuk in melbourne so if anyone knows how to get some please say

^ lol.

I almost finished zelda the other day, wont be playing for a while as it was my brothers. Excellent game, quite similar to Ocarina but totally awesome. i found it rather easy tho. The control is fucking next level shit, so cool walking around then drawing your sword with a flick of the remote and smiting with your shield etc. Sweet items too.

although finishing gears o war in co-op was rather smashing. yes

Post by **huge** » Tue Jan 30, 2007 11:24 am

got warioware and splinter cell.

warioware is the most bazaar game ever.

heaps of fun tho!

splinter cell is going to take a bit of getting used to the controls but looks pretty sweet!
