[Wii] Official Nintendo Wii thread

From what I've heard, the Wii version should feel slightly... I dunno, like the game was built for one control scheme (GC) and then rebuilt for Wii.

I'm going for the GC version at any rate. I'm pretty sure the game's going to be great no matter how much you jiggle your hands...

How ya doing, buddy?

Okay, back again. This thread has just exploded! =o

The european conference was pretty cool. Yes, pricewise we're getting raped (again). However, we got Satouro 'What is the time?' Iwata to talk. Awesome.

So, the games, eh? I tried a couple (Full rundown in my journal when I have the last fotos)
Twilight Princess: Not convinced. It really felt like they had made the Gamecube version first, and then bung the whole code onto the Wii instead. The Wiimote is used for aiming, but it is currently very anal about pointing at the screen. You can probably imagine that that's a bad thing. "Yea, I'l just aim at that giant lava creature there..." *Please aim at the screen* *Link's getting pasted* "Bugger!"

Excite Truck, though. Pretty solid racing. Great control. Infernal is wise to buy this from day one.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If judged by Red Steel at the press conference in London, friday, then the answer is no. Pretty horrible controls. Elebits, on the other hand, had all the FPS control I'd want from a Wii game. Red Steel was jumbled, erratic and so on...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hmm, I dunno 1.5 meters? Incidently about the same distance between my chair and my tv in my room. But surely distance shouldn't play a role when playing console games? That blows in any case...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

"Look! It's so easy EVERYONE can play it"


Seriously, it is pretty easy, though...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, from what I've tried, the boxart for Downhill Jam's pretty fitting.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I love that you guys have to stand in line for a Wii. It almost makes it worth living in Europe. I strolled into a GAME a couple of month ago and preordered it. Getting it on launch, however, that's yet to be seen.

FELIPE NO

Hmm, there're really no games on that list which appeals to me. I'm getting Zelda for GC and then? Please put Elebits there. That was my number one launchtitle.

Or...

Spongebob Squarepants: Creature from the Krusty Krab!!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The fact that Excite Truck and Elebits is nowhere the European launch makes me a sad panda. Nothing on that list looks anything like a certified classic. I'm still not convinced by Red Steel. Rayman neither. Also, the latest I've read from Edge, the control in Zelda is still not perfect, which means I get the game for GC. Fuck widescreen if that means the control is perfect...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

IGN: "If you have the means to buy Twilight Princess for Wii and you still get it for GameCube, you are a fool."

There's three more positive articles about TP for the Wii. And who the hell uses Edge as their primary source of game info? EH?! :lolsign:

I didn't say I use Edge as my primary source of game info, but I value their opinion far more than any of those websites you quoted there.
Anyway, it doesn't matter....

But I have to say that Japanese cover of Zelda rock most of my body, including my socks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow, two weeks till W-day? Seems like forever. I still don't know what games to buy, however. Which I find enormous irritating. I just knew that Red Steel was going to be so-so. Rayman... Well, I'd like a 'proper' game, not all this party-stuff. Which I guess also eliminates Wario.
God, someone help me here. (Also, don't mention Zelda. That's still a Gamecube game for me...)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I went down to GAME today. I wanted to know if I can get a Wii on launch. As I was number 6 in line, it seems like I'm in luck.
I've saved up for both machine and game(s) plus some extra tad, so I'm good I think.

So I'm getting a Wii ( $370.36 )
Zelda Wii (Because I read the review in Edge, which finally convinced me - $88.01 )
Controller plus nunchuck ( probably another 88 bucks...)

Sigh, then I'm totally broke and have to start all over again for PS3. And that's probably $917.09 for the thing alone...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You fail for buying Red Steel, though

Seriously, I really should follow in your steps. The whole package ends up being a tad expensive. Luckily I've saved up nearly $622 so I should have enough. Especially if I also trade in some games.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The fuck? Difference between Norway and Sweden and Denmark? What is this? Does Nintendo consult a demented toddler when it comes to this or what?

I'm wondering if I should get a point card from day one. We get Bonk's Adventure, but other than that, I don't know what I should get.

Is the webbrowser out yet?

FELIPE NO

I'm picking mine up around lunch tomorrow. If they have something exciting to pick up. I signed up for a Classic Controller, so I should get some points. However, can't you buy those over the 'net anyway? Then I don't have to bother buying them in the store.

But seriously, they better have almost everything I want, else I'm going to send hate mail to Bergsala again. They're such shitheels when it comes to sell Nintendo. It's like they don't want people to buy them at all. ("Nyah nyah, we want 'em all!")

How ya doing, buddy?

So I got it. (Pictures in my journal tomorrow-ish)
Tried playing Bonk's Adventure and it has some pretty heavy borders. Fun though. I'm considering buying Super Mario 64, but then I've already got it for N64 and DS. So I guess not:P

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I dunno. However, I wish I had more friends, because playing multiplayer in Bomberman is like liquid fun!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hurry up, will ya! Elebits is the FPS I have great hopes for!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've already spun the Earth around far too much. Good fun though. I'm looking forward to the Internet Channel. I want to surf on GFF on Wii!

I haven't yet bought component cables for my Wii, which makes Zelda look like shit. I never thought I would ever say something about such things, but there you are...

W00terz!

Next time, could you give a recap beside posting a link? I know I sound like a lazy bastard, but I really would like to avoid opening links unless I absolutely have to.

God, this post makes me sound like a fat asshole

No unified Wii friends list

Those of you hoping that Nintendo would implement a unified friends list for Wii online titles might want to suck on your cheeks for a bit: Wii friends lists will need to be set up for every game you play.

That's according to a GameSpy representative responding to questions about the online matchmaking technology they will be supplying for Nintendo. "The Wii friend lists are game-specific," the spokesperson told a Nintendo Wii blogger who also works as games editor for a German television station.

Disappointment is likely to be amplified, too, by the PR's revelation that "GameSpy's technology does allow for features that could span multiple games". It's just that Nintendo Wii won't be using them that way.

We asked Nintendo UK whether we were missing something; whether there was some obvious reason for going down this route rather than adopting the unified approach that has become a console gaming standard, but were simply told, "Nintendo has taken this step as we believe it's the right thing to do."

Meh. Nintendo's online service with all the numbers and whatnot couldn't be more useless to me. Or so I thought. Why must they continue to hassle people who wants to play online Nintendo games? I have around 17 Wii codes from people who wants to be on my list, and I just couldn't be assed to input these ridiculous codes.

And now you're telling me I have to bother with more of them? In the name of Finagle....
Nintendo, this isn't 'Protection of kiddies', this is downright harrasment...

Thoughts, people?

How ya doing, buddy?

Gears of Mario, am i rite guys?

It's pretty heavy metal, that cover...

On a lighter note, I got Kororinpa, which is the best Wii game I've played yet!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The fact that you can pick favorites without going back to the 'front page' maes the final version 145 times better. If they could just include Quicktime and wmv. support, I'd be a happy boyscout camper.
