          It has already been mentioned that the GC Controller will be used for some Wii games. I heard from a GameStop employee that the Wavebird had been redesigned in a newer, lighter form. I have yet to see this new Wavebird, though. ALSO, SSBB is confirmed to exclusively use the GameCube-style controller, so as not to "alienate those familiar with the control scheme." Hallelujah!

              ...

              Sure.

              On the Format Wii System Memory screen, it is mentioned that channels you've backed up on an SD card will not work if the system memory is formatted. Odd. I might have to look into that.

              I mentioned before that my system was placed horizontally. However, I received quite the scare yesterday because even though it was off, the bottom was HOT. I've placed it in a vertical position to avoid a heating problem.

              Funny enough, when the front is parallel to my TV, it can't get a wireless signal. However, when the front is an inch (read: ONE INCH) in front of my TV, it receives a signal from my router. Very, very strange. What a fussy system.

                  Grandia, once you play the Wii version of Twilight Princess, you'll wonder why you ever considered the GC version.

                  The controls are supremely amazing and flawless. Everything is how it should be, and it's completely different from what they had available at E3.

                  I'm playing on my friend's save file. My save file has me still in the first village without a slingshot =/

                    Re: The Wii is Here.

                    I'm totally stuck in Twilight Princess. Lame.

                    The game is amazing. Unfortunately, I can't compare/contrast it to other Zelda games, because I've barely played any of them. This is the first Nintendo console I've owned since the NES. I'm pumped just to put another futile effort into getting past the part I'm at. It's just a blast. The controls take maybe five minutes to get used to, with exception to the occasional confusion over where the inventory button went. I should be entirely familiar with where all of the buttons are without looking in a week at most.

                    Can you play Wii Sports online with a router already? If you can, please tell me how. I have a few friends with Wiis and routers already.

                      Since I don't have a connection yet, I can't help you there.

                      What I can do is quote this blog post on Kotaku.

                      Wii:

                      - In Standby Mode: 10w
                      - Idle @ Wii menu: 17w
                      - Running a Wii Game (Test with Zelda / Trauma Center) in 480i: 17w

                      37" Sharp Aquos LCD TV:
                      - In Standby Mode: 40w
                      - Turned on: 180w

                      XBox 360:
                      - In Standby Mode: 2w
                      - Idle @ Dashboard: ~140w
                      - Running a Game: ~160w
                      - Playing a DVD: ~110w
                      Wii uses fewer watts than a light bulb when it's running a game.

                      Haha. That's amazing.

                        Re: The Wii is Here.

                        So wait, you can play it on the Wii but if you do you can only use Wii specific controls?

                        *Sigh* Nintendo always does dumb crap like that. They develop amazing games and small things like that always end up horrible. WHY, NINTENDO, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??

                        I'd rather mash a button than flail my hands for something like Zelda. Sorry Nintendo.

                        And yes, you can play Wii games with a Gamecube controller if the game was designed for it. Example: Metal Slug Anthology can use the Gamecube controller.

                          Omg, my arms are so tired from baseball. I got 7 home runs in home-run durby and didn't get a silver medal. I went WTF! But i did get Bronze medal on all levels now. Also became pro in bowling, you get a shiny ball then =). I need a new game =(.

                            yeah, that's the only bad thing about it; once the cool Wiimote gets old, Nintendo will have to make more games that use the GC controller or go the way of the zombie when people get tired of swinging that arm. I want one bad, but till more games get more familar controls then Im not giving up my PS2/N64.

                              Too bad the game is still great. You're overlooking an entire game for something that is, at the very worst, a minor feature.

                              You think it's a gimmick. It's not a gimmick.

                              Doesn't sound like you want one too badly, then. Trust me; you get used to it quickly. It's worth trying.

                                Actually, it's not that bad. No really, at first i thought that the controls seemed gimmicky and would get old fast , but they did an excellent job of incorporating the remote into the game while still keeping the Zelda feel. You can pretty much just wiggle the controller around a little and you'll be able to do consistent attacks, move around, etc. It's more effective than the huge swings those guys take in the Wii demos anyways. Maybe it's the biased fan talking, but i love the controller in general, it gives you a huge amount of room to move your hands around.

                                What's the word on that LAN cable that's coming out whenever? I'd like to at least compare the price on it to a wireless router so i can figure out which one to buy.

                                Also it took me an hour to figure out how to catch a fish. I rule.
