Re: The Wii is Here.

Resident Evil 4 for Wii (with updated controls, of course) has been priced. $29.99.

I'd get it if I didn't already own the $7 Gamecube game.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Meh. Whatever. Could just be making sure they get the servers up and running before the games hit the market.

In better news: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/27/xe...ht-by-nintendo

Nintendo buys Monolith Soft. A glorious day for RPG fans around the world.

Edit: Target is allegedly selling Wiis this Sunday. A lot. Anyone who's still looking, you might want to give it a shot.

Edit 2: Apparently you all missed out because nobody bumped the thread. Oh well.

The repair order required me to write a problem description. They have one line for you to write the whole thing. So what do I do?

Problem Description:

1) The console will occasionally lag and sputter while switching between menu screens, and the disc drive will make loud clicking noises whenever this happens.

2) The console will frequently lock up or lag for extended periods of time immediately following a System Update. Occasionally, I will be forced to hard-reset the console.

3) A somewhat minor issue, but I’ve had one or two instances of Wii Sports freezing during gameplay. This did not occur after a long gaming session. It is quite random and very hard to replicate.

4) While starting the game WarioWare Smooth Moves, it may take the console anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to finally load the splash screen with the controller strap warning. This is beginning to happen less often, but the first few plays were incredibly severe. This problem did not occur on a friend’s console. However, it was only tested twice on that system.

5) In a much more severe problem, the Konami game Elebits freezes after a “saving data” splash screen every time. After that splash screen, the disc continues to spin at the same rate until the console is hard-powered down. The controller is unresponsive but remains powered. It worked normally for roughly 50 hours of gameplay prior to this incident. This is the only one of my eight Wii discs that has this problem and it has no surface flaws. The game does not freeze in a friend’s console after similar play times.

6) The Wii Remotes I’ve included in the repair order have their own issues as well.

a) One Wii Remote (I believe it is the one I purchased separately from the console) has had the “B” button come loose. I initially thought the rattling was coming from the battery cover, but upon holding that down, it’s clear that the source of the rattling is the loose “B” button. It does not affect gameplay from what I can tell, but I figured I might as well send it in while I’m doing a repair order for the console.

b) The other Wii Remote has a very obscure problem. Occasionally, some games will cause the remote to “over-rumble”. It’s a very hard problem to describe unless you can tell the difference between what the rumble used to be, and what it is now. The rumble is very intense and seems as if it’s shaking some of the internal componentry too much. The game I’ve noted that causes this to happen the most often is Atlus’s game Trauma Center: Second Opinion, but this is not the only game that causes this problem. I can tell there’s a large difference based on the rumble output between both of the controllers as I’ve played that game in particular for quite a long time.

Sorry that I’ve turned a one-line description into a page-long essay, but I thought it was necessary to avoid a future repair order.

I write all of that instead and attach it to the back.

Re: The Wii is Here.

You should know from the last Paper Mario that your most likely not going to beat the Pit of 100 Trials until later towards the end of the game.

Also, the article I was talking about was written exactly as the following, so hopefully theres no confusion. cough cough squeak

NINTEND NIXES ONLINE FOR 07
Recently the president of SNK revealed that Nintendo is restricting companies from adding online functionality to their Wii games - whether on the Virtual Console or regular retail titles - until after 2007. Nintendo itself has only one online title announced, and that is Pokemon Battle Revolution.
-GAME INFORMER, Issue 169, Page 28

Re: The Wii is Here.

ps SPM arrived.

Unpacked the console. Playing it already.

Already great fun.

Edit: Ugh. Got the third heart (yellow) and unlocked the Pit of 100 Trials. I loved this part in Thousand Year Door, so I ventured in.

Got ten floors down. Then twenty. Thirty. Forty. Fifty. Sixty.

61 is a jerk. Wow. Lost an hour or so of gameplay because there's no saving during that and you can only leave on the tens. If I'd have known 61 was gonna be so hard, I'd have quit at 60 since I was getting cards for Pixls I didn't even have yet.

PS anyone know what those Pixl cards do?

Re: The Wii is Here.

nforcer, I ordered my free straps online pretty much right when it was announced, and I got them. I don't recall how long it took, though.

Yeah, I know I don't NEED the straps, and to be honest I haven't even put any on yet. But come on, free strap replacements!

Re: The Wii is Here.

I don't know if I need another Spider-man game. I mean, it looks great and all, but I haven't even finished Ultimate Spider-man that I got months ago. I got stuck on one mission and put it down for a few days planning to clear that mission later and I still haven't even bothered trying in months.

I don't know... maybe something new is just what I need... Hopefully there'll be some way of getting costumes that aren't the crappy movie costumes.

ps Bruce Campbell? He did the voice overs for the other Spider-man movie games I think.
