The Wii is Here. - Page 47

banditcom · 12-16-2006, 06:25 PM

I'm sucking at bowling. Getting around 190-210 every time now. -___-;

I realized how incredibly gaaaay Tennis is today. It's pretty easy to do power serves but I wasn't hitting them today. On the forehand side, it's really easy to return a non-power serve for a winner. My bro beat me every time because he'd break me every time (I served most). Each return of his forehand-side were return winners. Nothing I can do other than power serve... All you do is hit it cross court fast. You can do the same with backhand but it's a little harder.

Oh and he'd wave the wiimote around and get lucky with his net guy. -_-;

omfg @ WW vid...... *dies of laughter*

****.

I woke up at 5am to get a ride to target, and waited in line for two hours. I was number 19 with an estimated 15 systems there. Hoping against hope, I waited until 7:30, when they handed out tickets. At 8 when the store opened, I was number 16 with 15 consoles, and almost all of the buyers were there. I looked around for a bit, bought a controller+nunchuck and left. The employees said that the tickets were valid until noon, so I might call and see if it's there. I know that almost all other stores were full, so there isn't much chance of finding anything.

Does anyone know of a good strategy? I don't really care about odds, I just want a way to get my hands on a console for under $300.

ps the controller is awesome and the wrist strap is thin.

pps I already have Zelda from my birthday, so all I need is the system and I'll be ready for partying.

I lose points anything below 210 now. :S

There's a rumor that Katamari is coming to Wii.

http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/katamar...bla-222488.php

The guy who made the original games said "no more" and won't be behind these if they are made. So, even if it's true, it's iffy if it's actually good news or not.

I was playing We <3 Katamari the other day and I wondered to myself "Why doesn't Nintendo just make a deal with Namco rather than making a similar yet unrelated game?"

Anyway, does it really matter if the main guy isn't behind it? They could easily make a port of the PS2 game and I'm sure it'd still be quite successful.

**Squeek** · 12-18-2006, 09:36 AM

I'm actually hoping it is a port. I wouldn't want it any other way. Not that a new game wouldn't be fun, but why spoil the franchise? Hopefully it's the two games bundled together, since individually they sold for $30 each and they are now years old, making a $50 price point not hard to swallow.

I was picturing ways they could do this, and I came up with two.

1) Just like Monkey Ball, the controls are solely handled by the Wiimote and tilt is measured in order to determine direction.

2) With the nunchuck, you act as the Prince and you push/pull/bend to push the ball.

Personally, I see #2 as being the most tiring, but the most fun BY FAR.

Afrobean · 12-18-2006, 09:42 AM

They could just do the tilt of the two halves of the wiimote in place of the direction of the two analog sticks on the dualshock.

If that's done, I'd also like to see some of the PSP game's content, as I am definitely not getting a PSP ever.

**Squeek** · 12-18-2006, 11:52 AM

In other rumored release news, while searching for a list of RPGs, I came across this:

http://www.codenamerevolution.com/?p=3276

It's a list gathered of all RPGs to be released on the Wii. You know, for people like Moogy who like lots of RPGs.

The rumor about Namco's game is that it's a Tales game, and fanboys hope Camelot's game is Golden Sun 3.

vashthestampede0987 · 12-18-2006, 01:26 PM

If it ends up being golden sun I will cry tears of happiness.

SethSquall · 12-18-2006, 02:01 PM

RPG's is where my hearts at too. I've been eagerly waiting for the RPG's on the Wii. Namco could be Baten Kaitos 2 or something. That was scheduled for release sometime soon I think. Never saw it around though. If there's going to be a Golden Sun I will be really happy too.

**Squeek** · 12-18-2006, 02:07 PM

Baten Kaitos 2 was Baten Kaitos Origins. It was released on the Gamecube.

Also, to all Elebits owners, I highly recommend Challenge mode. It's really, really fun.

SethSquall · 12-18-2006, 02:40 PM

Man! Once again a game that will never cross over here. Have you played it? I loved Baten Kaitos, despite the horrific voice acting.

**Squeek** · 12-18-2006, 03:07 PM

Don't have Origins, but Moogy says it's better than the original.

I'll be waiting until the price drops a little more. I got the original for $15 last year.

Angel Shiyue · 12-18-2006, 06:55 PM

ATTENTION:

I've just read a rumor about a new Zelda coming sometime in the near future in Game Informer's December issue. Not the one for the DS, but one for the Wii. So...yeah. They did say it was 'highly unlikely that Nintendo would release two Zelda games in such a short amount of time'. But, hey, you know how Nintendo is about Zelda. We were promised TP in late 2005 (I think) but got it in 2006. They just made it better. <3

**Squeek** · 12-18-2006, 07:12 PM

I knew about it about two weeks ago.

They said TP was just a Gamecube port with Wii controls. And it is.

They've been developing the Wii Zelda for over a year now.

It's not a rumor. It's pretty much fact.

Anyway. I got the Forecast channel today. Anyone else get it? It is fantastic. Really superb. Very accurate (going off where I live of course).

**Squeek** · 12-19-2006, 10:53 AM

Good call. Updating now.

Edit: Wow, neat. Also, the Opera browser goes in this Friday. =D

Edit 2: WOW I love this. Interactive weather maps FTW!

Is opera browser going to be part of an update like forecast channel? Yea I used to spend hours spinning the globe in Google Earth because it pleased my simple mind. Now I can do that on the Wii. This is a good day.

Ps. Squeek. If you just signed on with the Wii. Did you get like 40 messages from me?
