Re: The Wii is Here.

I thought it acted as if you were really fishing.

Go outside and fish.

Yeah, and Wii sports acts as though you're really doing the sport.

It's really not the same though. It can never be exactly the same.

Re: The Wii is Here.

cC@Zz, I'm one of those people who refuses to use guides for RPGs. I feel it's completely unnecassary and defeats the purpose of any type of challenge a game might present. I can stand that hour. I'm a patient man you know. =]

Well basic stuff like fishing I wouldn't look at a guide for unless for some reason it was really difficult to figure out. Still I don't know how it took so long to figure out how to fish.

There, beat Zelda. If you add the fight at the end, I 100%d it in exactly 50 hours. Good times.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I know someone mentioned this game to me before, but it's coming out really soon now so might as well mention it again.

Kororinpa: Marble Mania. Launch title in Japan. Comes out on the 23rd in Australia and the 1st of March in England (WHY ARE THEY GETTING IT FIRST ><). Comes out here sometime in March.

From IGN:

First off, players will need to take heed that Kororinpa is not some basic Monkey Ball rip-off, and thus you'll be in for a different experience (both a good and bad thing) if you decide to import. Sure both games deal with rolling, bouncing, item-grabbing, and random tomfoolery, but the two fall at opposite ends of the spectrum. Monkey Ball has always sat on the boarder of arcade maze navigation and casual party game, having a main mode that starts with basic tilt navigation and progresses into some of the most insane challenges out there. At the same time, players can also have up to three friends join in on the action and enjoy party games, vs. competitions, or hot-seat arcade bouts. In Kororinpa, you're getting a single player game with a basic two player mode added on. Players will create a file, select a marble to use, and start ripping through maze after maze, collecting a number of required gems to open up the level's exit.

...

When dealing with the specifics of the in-game levels, Kororinpa is also a bit of a different beast than its SEGA competition. Kororinpa allows players to have full control over the playfield, so rather than simply tilting the level to speed up the ball's roll or change direction, you'll find yourself actually flipping the controller upside-down, twisting it end over end, or rolling it slowly from side to side in your hands. If you want to flip the ground out from under your ball and send it dropping into the nothingness below, you've got that option. Since so much of the game deals with manipulating the world around the ball (rather than rolling the ball over a singe plane), the over-the-head view Kororinpa utilizes seems to be the only way to go about making the game work. You lose a bit of the personal feel, as you sit much farther away from the action, but you have a better overall grasp of the world around you.

Looks like a solid game for $20-$30.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Seth, are you having trouble with your Wi-Fi? Send me a PM.

[SethSquall]

Re: The Wii is Here.

Have it sorted now dude. I don't know how long it will last though as it on and off all the time. I'll PM when it next drives me mad. Thanks in advance!

PS. Sent people a picture of my skill level in boxing hehe. It's like 3004 or something. If I lose one match I lose 300 odd skill points. If I dont win via knockout in the first round I don't get more than 3 odd points lol. If I do, I get 5. Awesome.

Re: The Wii is Here.

rofl that's so ridiculous

I hate that about it though. I stomped the opposing team in a game of baseball but ended up losing like 3 points or something. It sucked.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I barely broke 1,000 in Boxing and I'm losing ranks for winning fights already.

Boxing is probably my least favorite event because it's so freakin' hard to land a punch. The punches always go off to the sides and anytime you actually manage to make it go in, they dodge or block or something and come back and hit you once for like 8 bars of health and bam you're dead.

I'm over 2,000 in bowling though. I have to get like 220 or better to get any points.

ps afro - in the baseball game that brought me to pro status, I beat the opposing team 9-0. Not only did they not score, not a single batter got on base.

I forgot to mention that If I (or you by now I think) get knocked out once and still win the fight I (or you) lose points. If get to round three or have to be judged I lose points. Also If I lose more than half my health I won't gain any points. Usually I dodge and land a three hit to the face. That takes off over half of there health. Sometimes I've taken off three quarters and knocked out people with one deadly hook to the temple. It's like the knock out button or something.

I also HATE fighting this one black guy. All he ever does is Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook.

Baseball I'm only like 1300 odd. I'm up against this underarm pitcher and she does my head in.

Re: The Wii is Here.

The first Wii Shmup has been confirmed and is to be released next month.

"Radio Allergy" is the title. It's a gamecube game, but they're trying to push it onto Wii owners.

$20 on Amazon for a pre-order.
