get ON that man, dang. You're missing probably the best GCN RPG of last gen.
I'd love to see Capcom place SFIV on Wii, but chances of that happening=nil, sadly.

Yes. You do Sensai.
ToS has an AMAZING story as I remember it- best I've ever heard of for a videogame. Not as cliche as things like FF.
The gameplay is really unique and interesting, and there's lots of content. I think the acual game lasted me 80 hours, while I ended up reaching 250 doing sidequests. There's just so much there, so much wonder and emotion as you talk to people and start to understand each characters past. This game is one of those special games that you just don't forget.
However, these were my thoughts 2 or 3 years ago when it came out. I doubt my opinions would change if I revisited it, but I DID happen to lend it out to a friend who didn't like it at all. Let me just say that if you do get the time to pick it up, don't put it down unless you've played a good 5 hours in and still don't like it.
Well, that's enough of my GC reviews in the Wii thread.

Casamassina and Bozon have been supporting this game from day one, and insist that it's excellent. Check it out for yourself, but I dunno...

So, I'm thinking of getting my first FE game, Radiant Dawn, but I also want to get BWii. I might just get both, but I want to know if the FE games are long ones. Since BWii has online capability I'm leaning more in their favor..
Sensai
Smash Master
Fire Emblem is definitely a longer game. I would suggest going for BWii for two reasons:
You make it sound like you don't have the time, which, if true, means you don't have enough time for FE. It's addictive and lengthy (it's like Final Fantasy Tactics [the PS one, not the bad one]).
The other reason is that it's a sequel (or sorts) to the GCN FE...which was also amazing. Go play it.
[Edit:]
And Zak and Wiki looks awesome. Don't even start...it looks amazing.

screw you, i loved FF: TA and the sequel is gonna be great.
and it's like advanced wars except you can't build new units, each unit is much more important and unique, with levels, classes, weapons, etc.
it's official, Okami is coming to the Wii

****! ChRed beat me to it.
Okami for Wii...**** yes. I can finally play the game that almost made me buy a PS2.

If you idiots had bought the game in the first place we'd be getting a nice sequel for the Wii instead of a port. I'm just bothered by the fact that not only did this game not get the attention it deserved but it's now only being looked forward to for a gimmick. Consider the way you hold the Wiimote in you hand, now think of how you hold a brush or a pen. Yeah...
This just turns a interesting game mechaninc into a "ooh waggle" selling point to me. And now any of the money made from this game won't even go to it's creators.

mm? why won't it go to the creators? and i'm not buying a ****ing PS2 for the game. Sorry, but i want to play it, just not bad enough to buy a console for it. I happen to have a wii. They'll make money on it, it's still okami, and it'll still be fun. Already played it? Don't buy it. There'll be a sequel eventually. and even if there was going to be a sequel, they still would have ported the original to wii, because it's a lot easier than making another game and will still make them plenty of money. It's a smart business move, not our fault.
Sensai
Smash Master
Wait to see how it does for the Wii, 'cause, as Chill said, there's a good chance that the guys'll **** it up by just adding senseless waggle.
That being said: Chill, I didn't own a PS2. I would've DEFINITELY picked up Okami though as it, to me, represents a breath of fresh air in a market that's becoming stagnant.
And don't be so quick to criticize the game and its developers before we've seen anything about it. Everything that Capcom's done for the Wii so far has been better then most of the other **** coming out for it (I'm pretty sure...I can't remember everything they've done for the Wii).
Also, a sequel probably would not be as good as the original as the studio that developed it has been disbanded.

If you don't own a PS2 than I wasn't talking about you. I don't know why you would buy a console for one game especially the PS2 but that's another subject entirely. The money won't go to the creators because the studio that made the game no longer exist. Why? Because it didn't sell well. If a game doesn't sell it doesn't get a sequel. Hence the port in a attmept to make more moneez.
If the game does well on the Wii I don't know if I'll happy or sad. On one hand it might mean more Okami games. On the other hand the games won't be made by the same people and I would wonder why a game with the same content would suddenly sell more copies.
Sensai
Smash Master
So...apparently Okami's going to be a direct port. Like, same exact code.

In IGN they said there's a rumor that Animal Crossing Wii will be MMO. I'd give a link, but I'm on the Wii :/
ChRed2AKrisp

that's no excuse. you could write down the extreemly long link, and then use a USB keyboard to type it in.
oh, for the love of copy/paste.

An AC MMO would be interesting. If true it might solve my biggest complaint about WW. I can't see them porting the same game and rigging it with online play.

I feel very proud, I just bought Scarface Wii and Mario Strikers for a combined total of like 75 bucks on Ebay.
I like JUST started using it on the 22nd so I don't know how noob / pro that is, but I was happy to get 2 games for pretty much the price of 2, delivered to my door. Brand new.
Looking forward to playing some Strikers with you guys

God ****...an MMO with Friend Codes? How would Nintendo accomplish that? Or would they just nix the entire FC thing....thank God?
It wasn't technically IGN who stated that, it was...some other publication that I can't remember right now. But they're known for not making **** up and only throwing in things that they're sure of.

You're thinking of Edge.
I can see AC MMO style working like one giant town everyone can go to, and have auctions / things like that. Think a main city in WoW
Lmao, imagine giving gold farmers Bells to clean up your town...oh man.

I noticed on Gamestop's site that Mario and Sonic had the Wi-fi logo on it. I also read some where that Mario Galaxy will use Wi-fi as well. Any clues for how it will work for these games?
Creo
Smash Champion
Well, Mario and Sonic should most likely be for the competition and Mario Galaxy I believe was said to have online Co-op play...which seems interesting...
Oh and god help us if Nintendo makes the dumbest move to have friend codes for an MMO title..really, maybe friend codes can be added if it was an optional on/off thing but if it is mandatory, then thats a bad move.
AND WHY DIDN'T THEY GIVE HEADSETS FOR BRAWL!!1!? Really, I am gonna hate to type out "pwnd" or not being able to scream "4 STOCK!"
Sensai

Creo: they still have time to give us the headsets.
And I didn't know either of those had WiFi play...cool.
[Edit:]
Off topic: you guys should fill this out. It's some study about competitive gaming. It'll take like...5 minutes, 10 tops.

But of course Sensai... but, what are the chances of Nintendo throwing in headsets[Sakurai actually] for Brawl..not that high.
Yeah, I can't wait to see how Mario Galaxy will deliver with online play! It seems it would be difficult to pull off, considering how that game is played.
P.S.- I filled that out..good survey that people really should attend too.

I got my Wii remote to work as a mouse (via IR pointer) on my Linux laptop. It freakin' rox.

that's awesome
of course, i think i like just using a bluetooth mouse is better. Not sure though. Where did you get the driver for it?

There are several out there. The one for my mouse control is called CWiiD. I heard another good one is WMD. I have an excellent remote test program called WMGUI. It just displays the buttons/sticks data, but it is a good starting place.
Yeah, a mouse is much more intelligent for using the computer productively. I'm just doing this as a gimmick. It's fun to show to people. What I'm working toward, however, is getting it to work as a standard input device for games and whatnot.
For Windows users out there, my neighbor downloaded a complete Wii remote drum set program. It works quite well!

Gah, didn't notice that you said linux. Poo.
Well i got a GREAT one for the mac. Is incredibly easy to use. Just open the application, hit the sync button, and you're ready to go
I'm a macbook pro user dual booting windows and mac, i wanted one for windows so i could try playing an FPS this way. That would be so hot.

Hay just a reminder that if you're talking about a specific game, POST IT IN THE TOPIC FOR THAT GAME. This topic isn't meant to just be a total Wii everything cluster**** discussion. It's for Wii hardware, System Updates, THAT SORT OF CRAP.

@ cashed So using the wimote on a PC coutns right ?
Gah, i tried a couple of the windows programs, the best i coudl get them to do was use the buttons on the remote. Like the one called WiinRemote, it would say active and be connected, but only once did the butons actually work the rest of the time even the the wiimote was connected to the PC and the program said active i wasn't getting anything, the monitor for gyro and IR activity was blank, the buttons weren't highlighting on the remote moitor. The GlovePIE applications was more consistent, but again, only the buttons worked, no IR or gyro support.

Based on what? You know how many amazing games never got a sequel due to poor sales? Beyond Good and Evil, Psychonauts, Sam and Max (it was only recently resurrected and the series isn't a sequel). But, to Chill, if you want a sequel, get people to buy the Wii version. The PS2 version may be better, or the exact same for that matter (never played it), but if they are putting money towards a port, then they are testing the market for the game.
Ew. It's going to be JUST like the Sims Online, which sucked horribly. Some games don't need to be an MMO.

I thought it's been confirmed for the Wii. The only thing that worries me is the game requires A LOT of online connectivity and feedback with no online play. To visit another galaxy, you need to connect in order to see their aliens. I wonder how they'll do that, but still cool that it's on consoles.
There is a website where a guy did this. I'll look for it soon.
Yes, my post was directed towards members like Volrec and Sensai who were talking about Mario & Sonic at the Olympics and Okami.

Well WiiConnect24 is no biggie, but I would assume they would release it a little after the PC version so they can grab some PC made characters and stick em in as default ones for people without WC24. Or maybe you have to have WC24 for it to work. *shrug*
