guitar hero....for the wii??? this is the best day of my life ^___^

 

[AS Juggernaut]

SCrew the internet channel, it always freezes on me.
I use it for FPS flash games on new grounds

Yea, it always freezes on me too, but I think when the full version comes out it will stop doing it. For a while I thought something was wrong with my wii cause it kept freezing on the internet.

What I think they are going to do with the full version is improve the zooming, tabbed browsing, no freezing, and i'm not really sure what else they would put in.

 

[Sensai]

Crap, did I not post about the internet channel thing?

Anyways, here's a link to some stuff concerning what all it will do, courtsey of (you guessed it) Joystiq.

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/26/details-and-pics-of-wii-internet-channel-final-version/

And here's the actual website...thing.

http://us.wii.com/story_internet.jsp

Auto-hide toolbar
Display cursors from multiple Wii remotes (though only Player 1 can actually click)
Favorites page immediately accessible
Improved website compatibility
Improved zoom leaves text crisp at all levels
New and better scroll interface
Search button on the toolbar
Start up time decreased by 5 seconds
URL text (www and com) easily accessible

 

[Volrec]

Phew, thats a relief, Sensai.
Once again, let me have your babies.

 

[FireBomb]

He will when he's ready! Give him some room!

Anyway, even though the Internet Channel will be more accessible, I'll probably still rarely use it when the majority of us have computers that operate just as well. . . and I don't want to make my Vista jealous.

WTF is going on with da wii? the last semi-good review I saw was for wario ware on IGN, the latest games have gotten bad reviews *sigh*, we need more 1st party games...

 

[Sensai]

As if in answer to his prayer, Sensai opens up the clouds and sheds light on the rumor which is NiGHTS for Wii. Behold, and be amazed!

Which is why you better get your hands on Super Paper Mario. Only 2 weeks to go! And hoo-rah for NiGHTS! This better not be their idea of an April Fools joke. And they're right... the fact that it's going to be developed by the American Sega team has me worried already.

 

[Volrec]

I think I'm holding off for a long while. I dont get games often, and the weather is FINALLY better in New York. What a blessing.

Volrec : Hiatus from Wii thread.

 

[Sensai]

Hiatus?! No! Who's going to want my babies?!

And the modern Sega team worries me too. But I think The Secret Rings was (somewhat) of a comeback for them, and Sonic Rush for the DS was just downright good, so I have a little faith.

 

[Mic_128]

Sounds good, could be worse.

 

[Volrec]

....oh god Mic, thanks for the laugh
Hahahahaha.

 

[Stryks]

I dont know, Im usually one of those that wants mutliplayer games, preferably fighting games and FPS, so im aking to get MK armageddon, I heard that on the ps2 is really good, and with the wii controls it will pwn XD, still I do make exceptions for games like LOZ, Metroid prime and others, still Im gonna wait a while and see if Super paper mario is good and buy it, which will probably will...

 

[Sensai]

Mic, that comic will always hold a special place in my heart from the first time I saw it, a few days after the launch of the almost useless channel.

I honest to God near pissed my pants reading that the first time.

 

[maelstrom218]

Well, IGN just recently posted a new hands-on with Super Paper Mario, and I'm pretty psyched about it. Aside from the relatively innovative 2D-3D mechanic, it seems as if typical Mario RPG humor is being injected into the game. See for yourself:

Peach can float and she's a "babe," as one boss describes her. (This toad-like entity is the ultimate nerd and through clever writing we learn that he has a collection of videogames and comics, records all of his favorite television shows, and so on. He reminds us of many of our sad, pathetic friends. At one point, the boss says he's going to write angry messages about videogames he's never played on the message boards - it's obvious Nintendo frequents the Internet. The sappy enemy sees Peach and nearly has a mental meltdown since he has never encountered a real, live babe before. He can only communicate with her by bringing up his laptop and pretending to engage her RPG style.)

HOLY CRAP. I AM SO BLOODY GETTING THIS GAME.

 

[Mic_128]

Good, Partners in time seemed less funny, looks like they've given the series a healthy injection.

 

[Xsyven]

So, I'm thinking about getting SSX Blur.

Anyone played it? I've looked at reviews everywhere, and they're all mixed. Some say that it ruins the franchise, and others say it's a breath of fresh air.

I'm interested in Blur as well. Anybody whose played it, please tell me how it is.

Super Paper Mario looks great, and I'm definetly gonna get it, I really hope the badge system isn't gone. I don't know for sure if they are in or not, because everything I've read on it doesn't mention the wonderful badges at all. I think it would be a huge mistake taking them out, so if anybody can relieve my fears, that'd be wonderful.

SO going back to the NiGHTS business, here's the supposed next issue of gamereactor magazine, courtesy of jeux-france, a respectable website.

Notice it actually doesn't say NiGHTS for Wii any where on the cover. It just says exclusive on NiGHTS.

But I'm praying its not an april fools photoshopped picture.

 

[Sensai]

No, ChRed, it's not like I posted a link to that picture on the page right before this. Go head, take the credit. :-D

I think it's real. My reasoning behind this is that after it was uploaded on the internet, the area where the purple guy is right there was taken out and replaced with a silhouette, except spelled correctly.

Also, for those hopeful of Sonic in Brawl, I have something that might be a slight clue to his appearence in it: another game where Mario and Sonic are side by side.

'Mario and Sonic At the Olympic Games'
http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/28/sonic-and-mario-team-up-for-the-olympics/

I don't think that's the official title, as the actual webpage lists Sonic first, but the banner says Mario first. But, you get the idea.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

and no, its not like someone else already made a thread for Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, but go ahead, take the credit. :-D

Sorry for not looking back. w/e. besides, directly posting the image is more of an attention grabber. :D. No one responded at all, even though this is a pretty big deal.

 

[Sensai]

Jeah, dunno why no one responded..../tear. Guess you people just don't love me.

I mentioned the Sonic/Mario/Olympic thing here just in order to bring it to attention to people on this thread, who might not visit other threads (I tend not to search other threads in the Light House).

It's possible in both directions...

 

[Xsyven]

A lot of people aren't freaking out about NiGHTS because not a lot of people actually had a Saturn.

I hear it's a cult classic, as well. Do you think those that didn't play it way back when would like it, or do you think those that played the first one are the only ones that will truly love it due to nostalgia?

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

I'd say its safe to say it'd be fun for most people. I haven't played it, but the friends i have who played it loved it, and from what i've seen/read of the story and gameplay, the game seems really good.

 

[Sensai]

Sega just said that they're going to be trying to make Sonic more 'contemporary' again, and are going to not release a game with him in it for a while. That's good news, so far as I'm concerning.

EBGames has a Resident Evil 4 for the Wii coming out on June 25th, for 30 bucks. I'll be picking that game up for sure...especially if it's got a (good) control scheme for the Wii specifically.

And, for those of you who enjoy the idea of DJing with your Wii remote, rumors state that the owner of Wiijing.com has been talked to by Nintendo, and the idea, along with the site, has been purchased so that a future game might come of it.

Not sure I buy the idea, though...check it out.

[ChRed2AKrisp]

NiGHTS 2 is a confirmed exclusive Wii title!

Info and screens/scans at the following thread

http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=100441

W00T!!

 

[Paranoid_Android]

Hmm... Resident Evil 4 with wii controls would be worth the cash - At least it might hold me over until some actual Wii games come out.

 

[Sensai]

****. I didn't beat him to the punch. Ah, well, I have other news (not quite as exciting...).

Here are some VC games due out sometime soon...

Bravoman 600
Bonk's Revenge
Battle Lode Runner
Shockman 600

Below are other area's VC lists. The reason I post about European and Japanese VC is in hopes that it will be here shortly, so if you're truly not interested, then don't worry about looking.

Japanese VC games for the month of April:

Punch Out
Elevator Action
Final Soldier
Milon’s Secret Castle

ALSO, a question/observation for anyone who's purchased Military Madness:

On 9. February, 2007, we released an updated version of the TurboGrafx-16 game, “Military Madness”,
which was originally released for the Wii Virtual Console on December 22, 2006.
This update was to improve some of the aspects of the game to make it even closer to the original.

Customers who have already purchased “Military Madness” for the Wii Virtual Console are able to download the updated version free of cost.
Customers are able to use their current Save Data with the updated version and will be able to continue playing where they left off.

What happened? Is there any difference at all? Or what?

[Edit:]

Oh, one more also. WalMart AND Toys 'R' Us will be having Wiis in stock this Sunday. Figured I'd include this for anyone who happens ot have not managed to grab one thus far.

It looks like every Walmart will have a minimum of 7 per store...

 

[AS Juggernaut]

I've never played the NiGHTS game before. Could anyone explain to me what the story was about and what you could do in it because I am a bit interested in this new one.

 

[Sweegy]

April Fool's

bannnnnneeedddd

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

That's absolutely disgusting. Get that the **** out of here. Mods, please?

 

[Cashed]

He's gone. My image of Pikachu is ruined, though. :C

 

[ti83pop]

Aaannyways...

Hmm...does anybody think that there will be another new adition Monday? *coughinternetchannelcough*

It's been said that it will be out in early early, because after april, it'll cost 5 USD.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

actually, it won't cost anything until june.

 

[ti83pop]

Oh yeah...duh....darn months and their mix-upness...eh.

Well, I only have 2 games for wii. What game should I get. I have a ton of VC games, but....few wii games...

 

[FireBomb]

Might I suggest Super Paper Mario? It comes out April 9th, and it looks to be a promising adventure game.

 

[ti83pop]

Oh, it's coming out the ninth?! Yeyh.

Thanks, that's my pick!

EDIT: Oh, and I just read an interview from wii.com, and internet channel (full version) is coming out around mid-april. Man.

 

[Sensai]

Jeah, I'm not expecting it for a bit.

Anybody see the AWESOME looking new Zelda show!?
