It's actually a pretty good game.
Not one of the best but not the worse.

It's a good game, but if you played the earlier games in the series there is very little new it brings to the table. Also, no Zelda games are RPGs.

I didn't exactly think that red steel was very epic. it was painstakingly hard to navigate through that game, i have my hopes up for the sequel, i hope they fixed the game mechanics

Yup, I'm mostly getting it because I want a classic controller, but if the game is as fun as people say, I might stick around for a few months of online play.

@Dodongo: I heard the game was really, really good. Famitsu, a site notrious for harsh reviews, gave the game an perfect score, so rest assure that it'll be amazing.

Well, it seems that my Wii's fan has stopped working, which results in it overheating after half an hour of using it.

Normally, I'd send it to Nintendo, but since I use homebrew to play Brawl+, that option is out the window. However, I've heard of some external fans that can be bought at Gamestop, Wal-Mart, etc. Unfortunately, I've heard that they can harm your Wii in the long run =/

So does anybody know or suggest a fan or method of helping me cool off my Wii?

Sometimes this happens to me
but it's very rare. Does it freeze randomly or only with specific parts of the game?

My wii has always worked fine... hm. On options it glitches sometimes for no reason, wondered if you guys know why. Also, is there a GCN thread here? I searched but nada, playing bomberman generations at the moment and it's for the win XD.

I don't know about TvC, but brawl is dual-layer. Wii drive lenses seem to get dirty easily, especially if you are a smoker, and have extra trouble reading dl discs.

You can either take it apart and clean it yourself, or try one of these

I wish I was that intelligent. I got homebrew AFTER I started having this problem (not knowing it was illegal, my friend did it himself...) But yeah, I've been having the same problem for months. I emailed Nintendo with the problem, and they told me to read the FAQ. Not much help...
Make it stand up, like an I

Prop it up on something and have a fan behind it, pointed into the hole where the fan would be.
This may have helped save my Wii gameplay just now. Thanks for the advice. But is there any possible way that I can fix it otherwise?

The hinges for the cover on top of my Wii broke off... now I like to call my Wii bald. :bee:

On the plus side, the cover no longer gets in my way.

FML.

Every disc I put into the Wii results in the same error message.
The two discs on the Disc Menu spin around, the screen goes black and says "An Error has occurred, please eject the disc, turn off the Wii, and refer to the Wii Manual for Troubleshooting".

I've tried blowing out the disc slot with a can of air. I'm leaving it unplugged for a while before starting again.
Any suggestions =(

Did you have wii connect 24 on all the time? My wii only runs wiiconnect24 when it's on, and I've red if it's on 24/7 it can ruin it.

Or maybe it's blocked (= red ring of death I believe)

I don't know D= I've never had problems with a Nintendo Console (Nintendo never makes errors apparently)

Q: How does one get the homebrew channel?
Sadly, it's against the rules to say how to get one, but I don't think it's against the rules to say... Google search. ^_^;

It shouldn't be hard as long as you follow the steps well.

I have, and I love it. It certainly is one of my favorite 3rd party games for the Wii. I still haven't beaten it due to finals, but I'll finish it over the course of the summer. I'll definitely play the second one after I finish the first (obviously).

The gameplay for the second one was overall better than the first. But for some reason I find the first game a bit more enjoyable. This is because they took out the whole, "drive your bike around town thing" And switched it to just pick a destination And you're there. Took away alot of time from the game, but I'll just let you decide when you play it. I also heard they are releasing the first game for Xbox and PS3. Its already out for those systems in japan =o

Activision GoldenEye game in November

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/activision-goldeneye-game-in-november

"Eurogamer has learned that Activision is working on a James Bond: GoldenEye title for Wii and DS that should be released this November.

The new title may be a remake of the classic Nintendo 64 first-person shooter, originally developed by Rare, and according to our source the publisher intends to unveil it at E3."

If it's the classic N64 version then I will cry tears of joy.
