Video Gamers Unite

I'm not a fan of the Wiimote, the Gamecube controller, or the N64 controller. I think they all feel tacky in my hands, just the layout of them physically - especially the Wiimote, which the whole motion thing isn't really a big hype to me to begin with. I'm more of a PSX/PS2 controller fan, I think, but I guess that doesn't count for all the Nintendo games since, yeah.

Wait - I thought you had to use the Wiimote with the nunchuck for Brawl. Can you play without the nunchuck? That would just feel weird as hell to me lol

Oh yeah its what I used only for Brawl since the Nuncuck is awkward for me. I have a new Wii that sadly doesn't support the GC controller.
 
I've had some great times with my Wii even though I rarely use it now though. I plan to get Skyward Sword someday, though.

Twilight Princess was probably one of the most amazing games on the Wii, lol.

Favourite Game: It's hard to choose just one! The Castlevania´s saga, Ogre Battle 64 and World of Warcraft.
Mario or Luigi? Luigi for sure.

Now with the topic: What is the most fun game you have played?
I'll go with Megaman X for the SNES. It was just so much fun going through all the stages until you reach the final battle with Sigma, not to mention the emotions generated by X and Zero in the history.

Wait what?
How does it not support it? When I had my Wii, that was the only thing I really used it for; GC games.​

Classic Controller, I'd imagine? Or do those use the same slots? (I have no idea, I never got one. xD)

I had no idea the new Wiis took out GCN controller support. :( That's really depressing.

Yeah I'm not sure about the classic controller. If it won't work either I'll just miss out on XenoBlade. Guess I can watch Let's Plays but tbh I feel there is a difference between playing it yourself and just watching it.
 
*Feeling like playing Rule of Rose again, but doesn't have enough plug ins to plug up her game systems in the new apartment.*
 
Aww man, not having enough outlets is the worst. D: We've got enough power outlets next to the TV (well, in the power bar XD) to make it work at my place but not enough inputs on the TV. We've got enough HDMI ports but only one component port so whenever we want to play Wii or PS2, we have to switch one for the other. :(

Yeah, I watched part of an LP of XenoBlade and it seemed really boring... but now that it's been released in NA too, everyone says it's really good so I figure it has to be one of those games that's fun to play but not to watch. :P
 
What is the difference in quality for HDMI and component connection to the tv. I usually play my consoles from component cables but recently starting using HDMI on my new xbox and I really havent noticed a difference, is there one??

Also taking away GCN capability sounds like a way to make people spend more money.
 
There shouldn't really be a difference--they're both HD except the HDMI cable carries sound in addition to video through the one cord. Easier to use, I guess. Otherwise, they both carry the same signals. (I believe one can be converted to the other and vice versa.)

Component isn't standard on the older consoles though--I had to buy specific cables to hook up the Wii/PS2 via component over composite. It usually makes them look crisper, though, which is nice. (With some games, though, it makes them look worse, which kinda sucks.)

A user on GBAtemp managed to reverse-engineer the Wii to the point that he re-added the GC slots to a newer Wii. Memory card slots and controller ports all work properly, and iirc GC discs also work on it still.

Yeaaah... I feel like I'd rather just dig out my old Gamecube and use that instead of going into the Wii and adding slots. XD; Or I'd just buy a used Wii.
 
Since the 30 days of gaming thread is over, I guess I'll join. ;)

Mario or Luigi? With the games that gave a you choices between the two, I usually went with Luigi.
 
I feel pretty sad about the fact that I was never able to play the GC games. When the original GC console was released, I was too young to know about video games. So when I got the Wii I tried to find some GC games but I never could, because it seems like all retailers ditched those after the Wii was released.

I really wanted to play LoZ: Wind Waker :(
