Anesthesia Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I don't know if I've said this before, but I wouldn't buy one myself (don't think consoles are worth the money) - I am, however, hoping several friends get them. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clearing up all the spam loge, I know it took a good chunk of time. But a temp ban on Blue after she posts an apology? I agree it was a bit cocky at the end of the post but the first half of it was one of the most apologetic and understanding posts I have ever read on any forum, anywhere. And a temp ban for posting it? :| *shakes head sadly* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinslayer777 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'd still rather sit down with Chrono Trigger or an old PSX game, its just as compelling, haha. RARW CHRONO TRIGGER :):) Man, you know a real game :-) I hope Wii has some new gameplay orientated games though. Non of that graphics roolz crap. I want gameplay not only graphics...That's why i play Chrono :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want gameplay not only graphics...That's why i play Chrono :-) Agreed. I hope they more more real RPGs. The last few Final Fantasy games have been kinda... eh. I mean the graphics are fantastic but they seem to focus more on including more and more hot teenage girls (Yuna/Rikku anyone?) then they care about making a challenging game. Anyone remember Final Fantasy II for SNES? (aka FF IV in Japan) That game was hard. It was so fun though, I mean you had to spend hours leveling up just to barely make it past a certain tough boss. Now "RPGs" like FFX are like: -Watch cutscene with Yuna flirting with your main guy -Get though a cave, fight and easily kill two dozen random battles -Watch another cut scene -Kill the boss, you rarely loose even though you literally spent no time actually training. You only fight people if they get in your way in between cut scenes. -Boss dies, watch a cut scene with Yuna dancing and more flirting. - - - - - I mean, the games are fun to play, don't get me wrong, but they're really a completly different genre from games like Chrono Trigger or Dragon Warrior. /bought "Final Fantasy I & II" for GBA three days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam007 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Some tips I found: 1. Press the home button on the main menu. Next click on the controller image. You can adjust the wii-mote volume and rumble functions 2. Hold a and b down and you can move the windows on the main menu around. 3. In order to add someone to your friend's list you BOTH have to enter eachother's Number ID and Console Nickname to be able to send messages and Mii's 4. Want your plain-looking Wii to have some style? Add a blue light around you CD drive anytime the console is on by doing the following: Go to your email from the home menu, and add your personal computer email address to your address book. Wait ~1 hour for the email (mine took at least this long) Reply to the email from your computer. In a few minutes, you will have an email waiting for you on your Wii. Don't read it! As long as it remains new, you have a pretty blue light! 5. In wii sports bowling, you can release on the back swing and throw the ball backwards. It scares all the miis behind you. 6. Email A Wii: You can email any Wii that you know the Friend code for. The Email address will be w(Wii Number here)@wii.com. For Example: [email protected] 7. Get rid of Generic Teammates/Spectators: The Wii will automatically use the other Miis in your Plaza as teammates and spectators in certain Wii sports games. Create friends and family, and you can get rid of the generic Miis. 8. Register and Extend Warranty: Register your Console on Nintendo.com, get a free 90 day extension to your warranty. 9. Get Free Nintendo Power: Register 3 Nintendo products on Nintendo.com, and get 3 months of Nintendo Power free. 10. Extra Parts: There are two parts to the Wii in your box that you may either not find, or never know what they are. The first is a Clear Disc piece. This piece fits under your Wii stand to Stabalize it's balance. The second is a Small(1" - 1.5") plastic Piece. This piece is the stand for the Sensor bar. It puts some disntance between your TV and the bar. In theory, that should give you a better angle reception. 11. Get Miis in your parade: Setting your Miis to Mingle, and having your friends do the same thing will soon have Miis walking around in your parade. Your friends' Miis will wonder over to your console and parade around, so long as they are set to Mingle. You can then grab them and send them to your Plaza so you have a copy. 12. In Zelda, the direction Link spins when doing a spin attack depends on which way you spin your nunchuck 13. In Wii Sports Bowling, when you press up on the Directional Pad, it will zoom in on the lane. The zoom in sound is the exact same sound from Super Mario 64 anytime you moved the camera. 14. If you go to the Channel section in your menu you can choose to save VC games on a SD card.... 15. In LOZ:TP if you keep it at the start screen for an extended period of time, it plays an extremely extended trailer that they didn't show to the general public which is pretty cool. 16. On hole 3 of Wii Sports Golf, there is a small section of fairway at about a 45 degree angle to the left from the tee box. It is a small patch surrounded by Out Of Bound-ness. If you can land your ball on there, you can easily make it on the green in 2, to to Eagle the course. 17. Wii Video 9 - Wii Video Converter Wii Video 9 is a free video conversion application developed by Red Kawa. It allows you to convert your computer video files (like avi, divx, mpeg, etc.) into the specific video formats that are playable on the Wii. Wii Video 9 can also be combined with Videora, another software application, and together they can let you automatically download and convert video for your Wii using BitTorrent and RSS technology. 18. In the Wii menus, turn your wrist and the hand cursor will also turn. 19. from Varelse: I just found and confirmed a little easter egg. I'm not sure if it's already known, but while your Wii is powered down you can press any button on your Wiimote and lights will flash. The number of lights flashing is the amount of charge left in your battery (1 is least charge, 4 is most charge) 20. In Wii Bowling, if you aim right to any lane near you, you can throw your ball there, but you won't hit any pins unless you aim right. 21. Zelda. You can skip cutscenes in Zelda by hitting the - button 22. Black Ninja Wii Bowling easter egg YouTube - Wii Sports Bowling Easter Egg 23. When you purchase a virtual console title and Mario runs across the screen, if you happen to get fire flower Mario, you can shoot fireballs with the A button.

Nuhol Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I must say the Wii looks like alot of fun. But I'll have to go with my PS3 (so I can play my old ps2 games) whenever they get some more in and its a tad bit cheaper, Im in no hurry. If I get a christmas bonus I might have to think about getting a Wii though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzalord1 Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 With the European launch fast approaching this friday, i thought I'd bump this rather than create a new topic. With Wii day on the horizon, what are the European's of the board looking forward to playing? For me, on launch its Zelda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapical Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 *Room-mates Wii arrived 5 hours ago* *does a little dance* I have been playing Wii Sports nonstop... My god the Wii is awesome, it is the best social console I have ever even imagined. My throat is horse from yelling and cheering on my friends in tennis/boxing, and my palm is sore from the countless high fives we exchanged after multiple games of bowling in which we all went nuts after someone got a strike. :D I also have Zelda, and Trauma Center but were having way too much fun with 'Sports to try those, lol. Anyone played Trauma Center? The whole 'do surgery' thing sounds pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Traume center got released for DS as well, right? Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownmasterofnothing Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yes trauma center came first on the ds. But I don't find it very interesting. Thats why I didn't choose my major in that direction. I think I'm halfway through zelda or maybe more. I'll have plenty of time to play in winter vacation.

trapical Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Ha, I just started playing it., Its actually pretty intense. ItÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a 1 player, obviously, so me and my friend were just watching my other friend play. You do cuts, stitches, etc with the Wiimote and the nunchuck is used for switching tools. We got the fantastic idea that the other two people that are watching should play as the nurses. One of them holds the nunchuck and gets the instruments ready the second the surgeon needs them (and then calls them outloud) and the 2nd person keeps watch on vitals and sometimes whispers to the other nurse what they are going to need to get ready next. I mean at first it sounds kinda lame, but its actually really fun. Not to mention you get a group satisfaction after each operation :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
