Hmm...they must've made a new version then. ...Do you mean a WEP Key? Do you have a router otherwise? What's asking for it - the software or the Wii? If you don't have an actual router then the WEP Key should be in your Datel manual.
|
No, not a WEP key. And it's on the Wii. In the manual setup for WiFi, it asks for something called a Default Router and you have to type something in. I just don't know what they mean. And no, I don't have a router otherwise.
|
Then, don't use the manual setup. If the dongle creates a wireless access point then have the Wii (and the DS) search for an existing access point. I think it's either called "Access Point" or something like "AOSS".
|
That's what I was trying before, but I get error code 52030. I think it means it couldn't get an IP address. That's why I'm typing the stuff in manual setup so it knows my IP address.
|
Hmm...I'm stumped. Nintendo.com has an error code lookup. Try that and see what it tells you.
|
That's what I did. It wasn't much help.
I really appreciate you trying. |
Sorry to side step your prob (I would try to help, but I know I'd just make thinks worse XD). But.... Worldwide the Wii has sold over 3.14 mil consoles in a little under 2 months (Japan and Europe had their numbers updated on the 14th/15th of this month, where the US, Canada, and Australasia haven't said anything since the 31st of Dec). Not bad for a little white box that's said to be a kiddie system.
http://www.thewiire.com/news/604/1/Mario_Party_8_Delayed_Other_Titles_Dated I guess we'll be waiting a little longer for MP8. And I can't wait to play MK64 again (I LOVED that game, I rented it all the time along with SSB). And I also really want to play LoZ: ALttP. http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2007/01/24/super-mario-bros-goes-virtual-reality/ That's pretty funny. XD |

And by the way Trikip, first of all, congrats on your WiMAX purchase. XD Anyways, down to business: The default address is an address you type into your browser where you can access all of the device's settings, including WEP Key etc. Have you tried searching in the manual for the default address? I looked up your device on Google and it pretty much does the same thing as the Nintendo thingymabob (it acts as a wireless mini-router, powered by the computer that it's connected to). I found a review by IGN that you might want to check out here. Apparently, from what I've seen, it only reviews the DS setup, but the Wii setup must be very similar. If any of the above at the IGN review doesn't work, try re-installing the software that came with your Wi-Fi MAX. I tried looking for details on the device and all I found was a crappy official Datel site, which has only one news article related to it (hell, they even called the Virtual Console service the "Virtual Arcade"). You can try contacting Datel for any further info here but I doubt it'll be of any help, seeing as how the site is, with no product info. So, resuming, I suggest you check the manual, since the default address usually is 192.168.1.1, however I think this only applies to routers of the main industry. Tell me if you find anything in the manual, and I'll be glad to help you out a little more thoroughly. :P EDIT: Oh hang on, I guess I was being a little stupid there. Since it's a USB device, it should have absolutely no default address, and plus, to access the address, you need to be connected to it, and since the MAX is for DS, PSP, and Wii, it'll be a little hard... :P With that said, I think you should completely uninstall the software and try again by following each step very carefully. You could also try out the option of instead of making the Wii look for a wireless router, make it look for the USB connector. You can do this by going to Wii Settings -> Internet -> (New Connection, say, Connection 2) -> Wireless -> Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. Since the Wi-Fi MAX is very similar to the Nintendo USB Connector in functionality, this should work. I think that the main issue as to why it wasn't working was that you were making it look for a router, not a little dongle. :P Once again, sorry about the misleading stuff, and I hope everything turns out to be working just fine. |

I think if the Wii browser turns into a big use thing then we need to see a wireless keyboard and mouse. Because you can only do so much with the Wiimote. Sure, keep the Wiimote able to do things but if we're going to get into big stuff (posting on forums, able to sending messages, and so on) then we need more then the Wiimote.

Rockstar on Wii? :O
Does anyone know why the ball goes to the left automatically in Wii Sports Bowling? |
I loved Manhunt, totally loved it. And I think it could be awesome on the Wii, stealth kills using the Wiimote and nunchuk would just be amazing. I'd buy the game just to do those, it'd be a definite purchase if they can build upon the gameplay from the original.
And getting Rockstar on board is a huge coup for Nintendo. Here's hoping for an exclusive GTA game somewhere down the line. Trikip, it's because of how you're throwing it. Your arm is slightly curved as you throw, so the ball spins in that direction. It does the same to me, only going right instead. |

I finally have something to talk about.
Guitar Hero III is probably going to come out on the Wii and maybe even the DS although I don't know how it would work when they have double frets and double chords in the game. Anyways, I really like Guitar Hero so this is good news for me. It's also nice to see developer supporting Nintendo. I didn't really like Manhunt though, maybe if they come up with more ways to kill people then I might consider getting it if I see some average reviews. |
hehe yeah, apparently from Nintendo Power, Red octane said the guitar hero would be "rocking out on all major consoles."

AIAS Awards:
Outstanding Innovation in Gaming: Wii Sports Outstanding Achievement in Story and Character Development: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Outstanding Achievement in Game-Play Engineering: Wii Sports Outstanding Achievement in Game Design: Wii Sports Hand-Held Game of the Year: Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day Ah. Gone are the days when Zelda could walk out of there with seventeen awards. Yay for Wii Sports. However, what's with Gears of War? It won Animation, Art Direction, Male Performance, and Visual Engineering. ... That's all pretty stuff. When did gaming become about graphics over gameplay? Wii Sports won the game play awards yet GoW won the two big ones because it was a pretty game. Honestly, I know I haven't played it but it really did look like anything too spectacular. I don't even recall it having that much hype. It looked like a standard game. I'm not saying Wii Sports should've won. But...anything other than GoW. Well, AIAA is down. Next is GDC. Both are highly respectable. One you have to pay to be nominated, the other you don't. So, let's see how GDC plays out. Maybe Capcom will clean up. |

I heard something about Guitar Hero being on the Wii. I thought it was a little strange because I can't see the Wiimote being used as a guitar. But we'll see how it goes. And I can see many Sony GH fans bashing the Wii ver only because it'll be different (sort of like how you got to have a guitar to play Guitar Hero, not using a normal controller). Quote:
And yea, it sucks how not even a Zelda game now days can win top awards. Them days went by fast when a game called "Gears of War" hit the market. GoW is the new big thing in the gaming word, not playing that or giving it high marks then someone is wrong with you. To all of you wondering, no I haven't played it (I've come to this strong hate for it, mainly because that game gets top ratings and TP gets the back seat). But he has *points to Samurai X*. XD But I totally agree Triffy. It pisses me off that this single game can come along and rip apart the whole normal system. IMO TP, Red Steel, and other Wii games would have gotten a higher rating on GameSpot if everyone there wasn't too busy playing Gears of War. I'm not going to go and drag up the whole 8.8 GS rating (for all of you that want to know what I think about it, go back and read my post, it's on page 93), but it's funny how GS has some of the lowest rated Wii games out there. The average rating on Wii games is higher on most other sites. Sometimes I wonder if Halo 3 will get a higher rating then GoW (on GameSpot at least). And since we were sort of talking about TP... http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2007/02/09/zelda-tops-a-million/ Now wasn't that quick? |
Gears of War is THE most overrated game ever. Seriously. I played it at my friend's house and was bored to death by a generic third-person shooter with pretty good graphics (if you like staring at gray and black all the time). Of course, I hate shooters, so I probably shouldn't judge...but it wasn't any different from the other shooters I've tried. And Gamespot gave it Game of the Year because of the graphics, the fact there was a chainsaw in it, and (get this) the fact that it has no character development and the characters are all lunkheads that cuss at each other and have the mental capacity of twigs, basically.
The problem with the majority of "gamers" today is that if it isn't an all-out violent gore-fest with every other word being a cuss word and "ZOMG WOW TEH GRAPHICS", then it's automatically "kiddy" and "sucky". What happened to gaming being about having fun? So yeah, my little rant. >> Anyway, I made my Wii Sports case tonight. It turned out okay, but I kinda had to mess around with it to get it to work. But it works, and that's all that matters. XD |
Eh, I think Gears of War is a great game and I have nothing against it, it's awesome but it's not anywhere near better than Twilight Princess. That's my opinion anyway. Both awesome games regardless of the differences.

Nobody has said this yet, but nintendo have sent out the online dev kits!
http://www.cubed3.com/news/6789/1/Reggie_Talks_Wii_Online,_Pok%C3%A9mon_ |
Do you guys think GameStop or EB Games would let me trade in a regular DS for a used DS Lite? I doubt the would, but do they do that?
Anyway, what are your thoughts on Diddy Kong Racing DS? It got an okay review on IGN, so I was kind of dissapointed. It got a 7.1 I think. |
You could trade it in, but you'd still have to pay the difference. I think DS's only get like $30 though, so... =/
I wanted DKR, but after hearing about the crappy touchscreen stuff and the crap that they did to it, I'm not sure if I'll get it or not. |
Are you pooping serious?! $30 for a DS? I can just imagine how much you'd get for a GBA...

It's about flippen time! The 360 had online at launch, the PS3 had online at launch. Japan had to wait till PBR came out, and everyone else outside of Japan is tapping their foot Sonic style saying "I'm waiting...". They should have had the online devs out there far sooner. And now that brings me to a nice topic I would like to have a little talk on. I know most of us comment on new news things (thus making the NFC more of a info thread then a normal Nintendo club), but we never really talk about topics. So I would like to see if we can get one going (or at least see how fast it dies...). We're all big Nintendo fans, we all own a Nintendo system or two. We all hope the best for Nintendo in the console race. But the topic I would like to talk about is... What would you like Nintendo to change? What probs you see with Nintendo that you wish they would change? Maybe it be online, games for the Wii and DS, or even able to change the background on your Wii Channels menu. Anything and everything under the sun, whatever you would like to see changed (on any of their systems) start naming them out. |
Definitely the online system Nintendo has. It may be okay on the DS since handhelds aren't really optimized for online, though that could change too, but it's too restrictive for a home console. The friend codes have to go, I can see why they want them there but they can't just abandon the hardcore gamers just because they want to appeal to more people. I think Gamertags like on X-Box Live would be great and it would make things much easier. Basically what I would like to see is an X-Box Live clone, Microsoft has a really good online service and Nintendo should be happy they have a blueprint in front of them already, they would then build from there to make it better. That's the thing I want them to change the most right now.

I have a problem with my Wii.
The thing is, I connect it to my Nintendo wi-fi USB connector. The connection test was successful, however it failed to download update. Error Code: 52020 I wonder what's wrong with it. |
I think Nintendo didn't send the dev kits out in time for launch because they wanted the focus to be on the controller.
And...Nintendo.com has an error code search, Dark Heaven. Check that. |
Really, Nintendo are working hard and well to rectify the problems that I, and a lot of other people, had and that's third party support. More specifically, I wanted to see Nintendo get two developers to start supporting the Wii, Square Enix and Rockstar.
I know Rockstar games aren't for everyone, certainly not a lot of people on here anyway, but the single fact is that Rockstar sell games by the truckload. We're already getting Manhunt from them, the next step would be to get a GTA spin off from them, a la the "Stories" games on PSP. And, hopefully, even get them to bring GTA5 to the Wii. And Square Enix are already developing another Crystal Chronicles and Dragon Quest game, and while I'm happy about that, neither really have me waiting in anticipation. Dragon Quest drifts from being a normal RPG and that's not what I wanted. I really enjoyed DQVIII, and I was hoping for something like that. And I'd absolutely die if Nintendo convinced Square Enix to bring FFXIV exclusively to the Wii. But Nintendo and Square Enix seem to be bed buddies in recent times so, who knows? Regarding Wii online, I'm not really that big on online games at the moment (given how I've only played MKDS and MP:H online a handful of times) so the method that Nintendo choose to use for it won't bother me that much right now. Basically, as long as I can connect to the internet to play online whenever I want, it'll be sufficient for me. On a similar note, didn't somebody here confirm that Nintendo won't be using different friend codes for each individual game? I'm sure I read in this thread that the individual friend code was just for PBR. If so, having one ID code isn't all that bad. Even if it is ridiculously long and easy to remember. A username/password combo similar to forum memberships would've been nicer, yeah. And finally, the game I've been wanting for about 6 years, a Pokemon RPG on the Wii. No Colosseum or XD crap, an actual full sized Pokemon RPG which actually expands on the handheld games, rather than a cheap story add on. There is absolutely no reason any more why Gamefreak and Nintendo can't make this happen. I know when Pokemon first came out, it was supposed to make use of the GameBoy's linking ability to trade Pokemon and complete the Pokedex, and bringing it to the N64 or GameCube back then would've defeated the whole purpose of trading. But now we have an online console, we no longer have to physically link up two consoles and trade that way, we can just trade/battle online. So there's no real reason, other than laziness on the part of Gamefreak, why this can't happen. And you just know that the game would sell by the million, hiking up console sales too. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved. EDIT: Wow, that's nearly an Andy sized post. I dragged it out a lot considering all I initially wanted to say was "Rockstar ftw!" |
Game Freak > Genius Sorority
I also want a new Pokemon Snap. Anyway, I don't see the Final Fantasy series switching to the Wii anytime soon. Or, the main entires at least. It shall stay firmly on the PS3 unless the PS3 ends up being a total bust and not profitable for Square-Enix at all. Kingdom Hearts is up in the air at the moment. It will either land on the 360 or the Wii. I hope it's the Wii (and I hope it comes with Wii versions of the KH and KHII Final Mixes for all the stubborn Nintendo Fanboys like myself you haven't played those games XD) |
^I'd just like to add that I also agree on a new Pokémon Snap for Wii. It would be a pretty good game, and would make use of the Wii Remote in many ways, such as throwing stuff, pointing and shooting photos, etc. I would really like that to happen, since I quite liked the N64 game.
|
I'd really like a sword fighting game for Wii. That would be like the coolest game in a long time. xD Oh, oh! What about a light saber dueling game. Now that would be the stuff.
|
^You've got Red Steel for that, but as you know, it didn't really work. The sword-fighting game that would REALLY PWN would be one that would have a direct translation of your movement onto the screen, instead of just pre-assigned moves if you shake the controller like this... etc.
|
Yeah, that's what I actually meant. And it would be cool close up.
|
erm maybe a first-person Zelda? Naw that would be a bad idea XD maybe star wars or something =/
|
What works with FPS is that you see your gun. In Metroid you have a very nice HUD to look at too.
In Zelda, you don't always have your sword drawn. The other items are also too short. So, essentially, it'd be like walking around with the first person view from OoT all the time. And spin attacks would be dizzying. |
Well it's time for me to bring up more then a few things I wish Nintendo would change.
If I see any rocks flying my way after reading all this then someone is going to die. XD ~Online~ Wii: I guess this is as good a place to start as any. The 360 had online at launch (the XBox was the king of online last gen, and I would have to bet the 360 will hold that title again), the PS3 had online at launch. Now why was the online gaming for the Wii put off so far back? I know the Wii was rushed, not only to get it out there to stand up to the PS3 but also to get it out there before the Christmas season rolled around. But IMO they could have done better. It took us sometime to get the news and weather channels as well as the online web browser. They should have been there at launch sitting there waiting for everyone to use it. Just like we should have had a few online titles sitting there at launch. IMO Red Steel should have been online, WiiSports should have been online, Excite Truck should have been online, as well as others. Why didn't see we see online at launch? Why are we (ones outside of Japan) still waiting for an online game? Nintendo already tested the waters for online gaming on the DS and the reaction was big. People were playing MKDS online when it hit online, if I remember right it even overloaded a few servers (that is if my memory is right). People are playing Metroid ,and StarFox, and Diddy Kong, and others online. Now why did Nintendo shrug off online gaming for the Wii at launch? That's a question I'd like to know, and truly I wish I couldn't ask (because I couldn't ask it if we had online at launch). (Yes, most of that was just a pointless rant, because it can't change. But I wanted to get it out there anyway) DS: As much as I dislike adding friend codes, I think it works well for the DS. The thing I wish they had changed was make it one friend code per system, and you're able to transfer your FC over to a new DS (because some of us have bought a DS and then got a DSLite). I think if it was one FC per DS then it would have worked way better (and would have been more liked by people). You wouldn't have to reg a new code for each online game you get. Friend Codes on the Wii: I've already said my thoughts on DS friend codes, so I'll say a little something about the Wii FC system. I like gamertags better then FCs for the Wii. Mainly because once online gets off the ground you might want a gamertag over your name and not a bunch of numbers (not like they'll have your FC anywhere on online battles). They are easier to remember, you can come up with your own screen name, and they just look better. And I'd also like to know why it takes like 30-45 mins to reg an FC. With MKDS I added a bunch of people and I was able to race them within a min (as soon as I was able to get online and race), so why does it take ages to add friends? Another thing I wish the Wii had is groups. Like on MSN you got "Friends" and you got "Family" and you got "Coworkers" and so on. I wish the Wii had something like that. Right now the only people I got on my list is close friends, but once I get some online games I wish I was able to group PC people here, friends over there, and GS people over there. ~Wii~ Messages and Miis: One of the things I would like to change, is how long it takes for messages/Miis to go from one console to another. I send a message or a Mii and it takes ages to show up. Taking forever to add FCs is one thing, but once you have the person on your list looks like you could send messages and Miis with little to no lag time. I would like to be able to send out a few messages saying "Hey, you want to battle on SSBB?". I know I could pop on PC or MSN and it'd be just as quick. But it would be nice if messages and Miis didn't take ages to get there. Profiles: One of the things I love about the 360 is profiles. I got my profile and my brother has his own. This is also a reason why I would like gamertags. I could have messages sent to my profile and he could have messages sent to his. And this would also work great for online. I could have my friends listed on my profile and he could have his friends on his profile. No mixing, no name slip ups and so on. Everything is nice and clean. The VC games would show up on both profiles, map packs and all that stuff would be on both profiles. I think it would work out nice. Wii Channels: Another thing I like about the 360 is how you're able to customize the Dashboard. Change the colors, download themes, icons and so on. Right now we just got the normal whiteness of the Wii and you're able to move the channels around. Why can't we have something like the 360 has where you're able to customize the background the way you want it. And since you can move images from a computer to the Wii via SD card, maybe we could have something like being able to set pic as the background for the Channels. We can change the border on the DS, I don't see why we can't do it on the Wii. And since I'm on "Wii Channels" I guess I'll list a few I would like to see. Wii/DS Demo Channel Gaming News Channel (Just gaming news) Music Channel Video Channel (Via SD Card or thumb drive) Trailer Channel (You can watch game trailers from it, you stream them from a list or whatever) And I can't think of anymore ATM. Wii Connect24: One little minor thing that bugs me. Why do we got to connect to the internet if we're always online? I wish they made it where it was truly always online so we couldn't have to connect all the time (or at least speed things up where it didn't take so long). ~Other~ Third-Party: Right now the Wii has pretty good Third-Party support. You got ones like Ubisoft, EA, Sega and a good many others. But Nintendo isn't doing it's best job in keeping Third-Party fokes happy. For one, the online devkits, they totally cut them short when it came to online. I'm sure Ubi wanted Red Steel online, and I'm sure they might have got it online if they had them kits. Square is having a hard time with friend codes (I know Nintendo isn't going to change just for Square, but looks like they could work around it). And if they don't keep Third-Party happy then we'll see the Wii go the same way as the GC. The sells will go down, Third-Party will be making games only for the other two consoles, and if they do put it on the Wii it'll be some lower ver that no one cares about. If Nintendo pisses off them guys then the Wii isn't going to go as far as we all hope it to be. I know most of Nintendo's best titles comes from Nintendo, but someone has to fill in the gaps, someone has to make Madden games, someone has to make the shooters, someone has to make the other games out there. So yea, that's my ideas/views/rants on Nintendo. I'm sure I got others, but I can't think of them right now... Quote:

Quote:
You make some good points there Arcanine, I agree with pretty much everything. Third party support is tricky on a Nintendo system, it's just too hard for some of them to compete with Nintendo franchises. I forgot which developer said it but they make a good point, "When you go with Nintendo, you know you better be good because they are going to be your biggest competitor." Software sells hardware and the software people are looking for when they get a Nintendo system is more than likely going to be 1st party games from Nintendo. If you go by this then third party software will most likely not sell too well and third parties don't like that. So if you're a third party developer you look at a number of things before you make a game, first of all most developers look at installed base of a console, then they look at the demographics to see if their game would sell well on that system(and for Nintendo it's always "kiddy"). Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that if you're a third party developer looking at all of these things then Nintendo wouldn't be a very good choice because the other systems have the advantage, But I think that the Wii has a chance to change all of this and Nintendo could really get more third party support for the Wii than it did with the Gamecube, even this early you can tell that it's getting more third party support than the Cube did when it launched. That quote that I posted has another meaning besides the fact that it's hard to sell well against Mario and company. The other meaning is that third party games have to be of good quality to sell well on a Nintendo platform, there can't be any cheap ports or crappy spin-offs if they want to have success. Either that or have a good pedigree/reputation and not all of them have that. If you build it they will come...that means if they do a good job on a game then it will probably succeed regardless of the system you put it on...unless you have crappy marketing of course. So basically, even though Nintendo does have something to do with it, ultimately it's up to the developers. |
Andy, if Erica did that. I would haunt her. So, she knows better. Anyway,
I think a demo channel for the Wii and DS would be a great idea. And would truly be great for attracting non-gamers. Especially concerned parents. Try before you buy. A video channel would be clunky. With the two main Wii media ceters out at the moment (WiiCR and Wii Media Centre X) they can only play flash converted videos (aka, Google, YouTube, ect). I don't know if this is a Wii limitation or an Opera Trial limitation. But, it would be annoying for the average user to manual convert their videos. The Wii can play MP3s and I want it to have MP3 player support. It has a bloody USB port! I want iTunes Wii. Interactive media player visualizations would be cool. Personally, I just want a media centre. Kick Microsoft's but. User made ones are springing up, but they need the final version of Opera before anything great materializes. I'd rather have a gaming section implemented into the News Channel, than have a brand new channel. And I'm not for the trailer one. Wii Connect24: One little minor thing that bugs me. Why do we got to connect to the internet if we're always online? I wish they made it where it was truly always online so we couldn't have to connect all the time (or at least speed things up where it didn't take so long). What do you mean? Do you have a wireless router? Even with a computer off you should have an internet connection. My Wii is always connected to the internet. I wake up. I come down. It's glowing. It's a nice feeling knowing I have an update or message. |
I think a cool idea would be if Nintendo made a few non-online channels, they could release them on discs that you can buy at the store for a cheap price for people who don't have Wi-Fi. Just a thought.
|
ATTENTION: brand new surprise Wii channel launch! found the update on my Wii today, and i downloaded the new "everybody votes" channel for free from the shopping channel. A voting channel, boy that was one of the last things i would think Nintendo would come up with, but its still fun to use though.

Like on XBL, when you sign on you're signed on. You don't have to "connect" to go see the list of games or other online stuff. And that's what I'd like to see with the Wii, truly have "always online". Quote:
It makes me wish I could use that black interface for all the Wii stuff. XD Oh, and to add to my list up there. I wish Nintendo would take a small page out of the XBL handbook and give us some new games on the VC. New games as in original games, and not just old games that was let out on a console years ago. I love the VC, I got like 5 VC games. But I wish it would expand from just old games to new games as well. http://gonintendo.com/?p=13227 Speaking of the VC.... http://gonintendo.com/?p=13235 A lot of that I agree with. |
Oh, I get it. Yeah, it says connecting. But, I treat it like loading, even though it's not - so it doesn't bother me as much. XD

SEGA say the Six Axsis is rubbish
this made my day. |
oh yeah, i don't want to start any bashing or anything, but i have to say it was a bad idea to replace rumble with the PS3's new gyro control, i mean, can't they have both?

So how are you guys handling this drought of Wii games? I am pretty bored actually so I just decided to start a '100%' file in Twilight Princess after many speed run files. Other than that I'm playing some DS games. I'm gonna rent Sonic too, maybe it will be better than other 3-D efforts recently.
So, what would you like to see on the Wii? I think that the games will eventually come so what I want right now is new content on the VC. |
I'd just like to see some Wii games on sale... All I've got is Wii Sports (gets kind of old) and TP.
|
I haven't played an actual Wii game in a couple of weeks now, even when I did it was only a fleeting play on WarioWare. I've been using the Wii just to play my VC games recently, and I am content with that at the moment.
|
Well Sonic is out in the US Today, and SSX Blur is out soon as well, so I wouldn't call it a drought
I got Super Mario Bros and Kirby's Adventure on the VC yesterday. |
yeah, i had pre-ordered Sonic and Mario Party 8 a couple weeks ago, so i should get sonic sometime this week and Mario Party a few weeks later so i'm not really feeling a drought =)

Next Thursday I am free from university applications and portfolios. Yay! Which means I don't have to worry about distractions. So, I'm going to splurge.
Planning on picking up Wii Play and Smooth Moves. Any other suggestions? DS or Wii. Probably going to pick up Sonic a few days afterwards. Gift for my brother's birthday. |

Shooting Gallery My favorite of the games. It's pretty fun and a lot more fun if played with someone else. My only complaint is that it is fairly easy to get a gold medal in. Mind Mii This one starts out easy, but gets hard. It's one of my favorites because they find ways to make it more challenging as you progress through the levels Table tennis (Ping-Pong) Pretty much the same thing all the way through. It's pretty easy, all though since it speeds up as it goes further, it can get really hard towards the end. Pose Mii Uh... most certainly the most imaginative of the games, though the hardest IMO. It's confusing (or at least to me) on how to remember the order the poses go in. Laser Hockey This one is really only fun if played with someone else. It's pretty much a slower moving Pong. Billiards All right, let me put it this way. If you've never played actually pool or billiards, then it should be awesome. But if you have, you'll probably be frustrated with the way it works. But it can be fun. Fishing Pretty fun, no notable flaws, except that you shouldn't raise your remote to high, or it might mess up your control. Cow Racing One of the more imaginative ones, you race a cow and knock over scare crows. I thought it was fun by myself, but when I played it with someone else it turned out to be lots of laughs. Tanks It's tanks, what can I say? It's pretty fun, and no real flaws except when you die, you might get tired of working back to where you were. There, I did it. I hope that helps some when you make your decision. |
In response to the drought thing, name the last AAA game on the GC before twilight princess, that is a drought, Lego Star Wars 2 was great, but not an AAA game.
|
I know Wii Play is sub-par. I've been holding off on getting an extra remote just for that game though (it is a bargain!). I still only have one remote since the console was released.
|
I thought about getting Wii Play, but I really don't need another remote right now, and everyone says it's mediocre unless you need another controller. So I'll probably hold off on getting it.
My next Wii game will probably be either Trauma Center or maybe Sonic. Heck, I might even wait until Super Paper Mario. |
Quote:
I don't know what my next Wii game is going to be. It's probably going to be Super Paper Mario though. I already pre-ordered all the big 1st party games coming out this year. Anyways, here is a list of titles coming out from Nintendo in 07 for the Wii, I don't know if it's calendar 07 or fiscal 07. - Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Disaster Day of Crisis - Donkey Kong Barrel Blast - Animal Crossing - Forever Blue - Kirby - Mario Party 8 - Mario Strikers Charged - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Project H.A.M.M.E.R. - Super Mario Galaxy - Totsugeki Famicom Wars W - Wii Health Pack - Wii Music |
I'm curious to see if Wii Music will come with a wiimote like Wii Play. Can there really be that much to do in it?
Anyway, does anyone use a Linksys WRT54G router for their Wii? If so, how does it work? It's recommended on the Nintendo Wi-Fi site but I'd like to hear some other opinions. |
Well, Trikip, we use a NetGear rouder for our internet (6 computers), and for my Wii (and a xBox 360). It works just fine, so if your Linksys doesn't work, I'd reccomend going with NetGear.
Triforce- Alright, I just wanted to make sure you weren't going to order one from Amazon marketplace with just the game or anything... |
I don't actually have it yet. I was just thinking about buying it but I'll look into NetGear's routers.
EDIT: It's sad to say, but the good ol' cube is gone. http://gonintendo.com/?p=13619 Now we're never getting Naruto 3 and 4! ;_; Those were supposed to be really good. Ah, well. |
Quote:
Theres a new dreamcast game coming out in Japan, talk about a revival XD |
Dreamcast? o_O
Anyway, check this out. Looks like the SNES is outselling the PS3 on Amazon. Pretty amazing, eh? |
I been playing FFXII too much. XD
I think my next Wii game will likely be WarioWare (it'll likely be sometime before I get it). But that doesn't stop me from getting some VC games (which is pretty much all the use I get out of my Wii right now. I know I got games like TP, Excite Truck, Rayman and others to play. But like I said, I've been playing FFXII lately). So, has anyone got OoT for the Wii? It came out yesterday for NA, and a few days ago for Europe. And since I'm talking about OoT, here's the IGN review. http://wii.ign.com/articles/768/768111p1.html I wonder how much GS will lower it's score... http://gonintendo.com/?p=13673 A little old, but still. http://gonintendo.com/?p=13828 I said it once, and I'll say it again. I buy a game system to play games, not to listen to songs on, watch movies, surf the web and all that. So yea, if the Wii does gaming and does it right then most gamers will like the Wii. http://gonintendo.com/?p=13802 *coughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcough* This is a nice one from someone we all here at the NFC like. His name is Phil Harrison, aka Philly Cheese Steak. The reason why we all like him so much is because we all get a good laugh out of him and his all of his PHD degrees in Sonyness. Today we find good old Philly saying Nintendo should take a page right out of the Sony handbook (I am not friggen kidding...). Here is a quote "they (Nintendo) could have learned from us in terms of the high technology approach.", right on Philly. I think I said it best last night when I was talking to Robo about this, "if Nintendo wants to end up in a ditch a hair away from dead, then sure I totally agree with him.". What's funny is, yesterday I saw a PS3 at Wal-Mart, and shockingly no Wiis. And there was even this kid (I guess he was 15 or so) that walked in and his parents asked "Is this what you're looking for" (they pointed at the PS3) and he said "No, what I want is a Wii", that made me smile. So yes, Nintendo needs to listen to Sony and do things their way. Maybe then the playing field will be more level for Sony so they'll have a better chance. (Keep in mind, all this is coming from a person who will soon own a PS3. I plan on getting one, even if I really really dislike Sony) Trikip: WTF land indeed.... SNES outselling the PS3... In a way I feel bad for Sony, I mean getting beat out by a console that came out like 16 years ago. XD It is sad to see the GC go. But it just wasn't Nintendo's shining moment. And if anything it hurt Nintendo. I mean it was purple, it had a handle (as much as I liked it, I pretty much went "WTF?" when I first saw it. It is pretty much useless), the discs weren't full size, and so on. On top of that, they didn't have a strong third-party backing like the PS2 and XBox. Sure we had games like Super Smash Bros, Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil 4, and some others. But it wasn't enough to keep it running and keep it going strong. I did have a good life, and Nintendo learned a thing or two from it. So, goodbye GameCube. |

Here we go again...we've pretty much run the whole "DS is a breeding ground for pedophiles with Pictochat!!1111111" thing into the ground, so now we've got to start on the Wii being a portal to porn. And sometimes I wonder why I think 95% of the world's population has the brain capacity of a gnat and why I dislike people in general... >> And Phil Harrison can run his mouth all he wants. He's just showing how much of an arrogant, big-headed company Sony is. Nintendo knows what they're doing, and it shows. They're beating the crap out of Sony, and Phil's trying to take the heat off himself. |
Aw give me a break, you can really tell that competitors are actually trying to find ways to make the Wii look bad. They're complaining about accessing porn on the Wii, so why don't parents just not let their kids access the internet on the Wii? I mean they can do it on a computer can't they? Its not hard to figure out at all, they're just trying to make it look worse than it is.
|
I love how the article makes it sound like Nintendo has a secret plot to expose the children of the world to porn through the internet channel though. It's really funny.
But still, I'm sick of people just trying to think up ways to start a riot about stuff like this. >> |

I guess it's because of Nintendo's "kid-friendly" image. That's been so ingrained into the minds of the public and the media that whenever they take a step out and do something that has even the slightest risk of not being "kid-friendly," then they're all over top of it and running with it, making up crap.

Since I've already purchased my little brother a DS Lite, does anyone know what games are worth getting? So far I've purchased only two awesome games, New Super Mario Bros. and WarioWare Touched!

Quote:
Animal Crossing: Wild World Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright: Justice for all (depends where you live though) Metroid Prime: Hunters Starfox Command |
Btw, can anyone also tell me on how the Wi-Fi Connections actually works?

Quote:
You'll need a wireless router, and a wi-fi enabled game. you just need to find the thing in the game which will connect it to the net and once you've set the connection up, you just connect and play. |

Nintendo Keynotes tomorrow at the GDC. Anyone expecting or hoping for anything?
I want Nintendo to announce a stronger online system. New Wii channels. More info on Phantom Hourglass. NOTHING ABOUT ZELDA Wii. Zelda timeline Info on Super Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros. Brawl, and Metroid Prime 3. New characters in Brawl. Pikmin Wii. At least mention the possibility of new franchises. Sure it's just keynotes, but keynotes contain info, and Powerpoint presentations contain videos. So, I can hope. XD EDIT: NOT TOMORROW. The site I was reading wasn't very clear. :x |
Triffy...GDC's not until next week. The keynote isn't until next Thursday, not tomorrow. XD
|
I saw this article I freaked out a bit.
XD I just saw "on Thursday", so I figured it was tomorrow. Cut me some slack, I've been busy. XD Regardless, we have a week to talk about it. So...go. (I covered that up rather nicely. XD) |
I just wanna hear more about disastar and project HAMMER (I'm too lazy to put the fullstops in there
|
Wow a starcraft 2 for the DS? Dang, its at least going to be on the PC as well, i love the nintendo MMO idea the best though, i never thought of it before and it would be awesome to see something like that.
|
I have come across the first actual online game for the Wii and it comes from a third party so it'll be interesting to see how that goes, a third party going online before Nintendo. Well, the game is Blazing Angels and it's going to have up to 16 players online according to the sites I checked out. I got all of this from Amazon and Gamespot. Check it out for yourselves, I hope this is real and not some mix up or something like that.
So what do you think? Personally, I think it's great news of course. Also, I wasn't planning on getting this game but I'm going to rent it and if I like the game and the online I might buy it. |
There's actually been a lot of confusion over whether or not Blazing Angels will actually have online play, because just a week or so ago Reggie himself said that PBR would be the first online game on Wii. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see - a lot of places seem to think that they were referring to the PS3 version of Blazing Angels.
|
That's exactly what I was thinking but if two major websites say it's online and the IGN website has the box art with the Wi-Fi symbol on it I think this might be true. The information could easily be mixed up but I don't see how the pictures could be wrong because I don't think those websites would put up fake pictures. I could be wrong though.

Well, so much for that. This whole online deal is really ticking me off now. Every other console (heck, every console but the GCN had online last gen) has online now but the Wii, and Nintendo just keeps holding it back. And we all know when it finally comes, it's going to suck and be nowhere near as good as say, Xbox Live. Stupid friend codes. >> Online should have been ready at launch. Period. There's no excuse for it whatsoever. And if there was any hope of hearing what their online plans were within the near future, it's been shattered with this whole "no new information" deal that Nintendo's been put under because of the stock sale. |
Dang, that ticks me off too, oh well, i guess Nintendo will keep us occupied with surprise online Wii channels launched until the first online game finally comes out -_- (thats pokemon BR right?)
