The Wii is Here.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I don't see what you're basing my lack of taste on, carbo. I read reviews, watch demos, and decide for myself what I think I'll enjoy. If I enjoyed it, I'll pass it along to others.

I've always said the only way to determine if you like a game is to watch gameplay videos from people, not from the company. Better yet, play the game. I'd never buy a game on name alone.

I'd say 3/7 of my Wii titles rock and are totally worth it no matter who you are. Zelda, Wii Sports, and Elebits. WarioWare is heavy on the party-mode, and Trauma Center is somewhat of a niche. Monkey Ball is great, but a little short. Red Steel was sub-par.

I have 42 Gamecube games and I don't even want to bother sifting through those... I've posted the list before. You basically need Super Smash Bros. no matter who you are. Metroid Prime is most excellent. Tales of Symphonia is gonna be the RPG you'll want. Mario Kart is the racer. Paper Mario is another good RPG for you as well.

How do I have bad taste. Just explain that to me.

Edit: Speaking of Paper Mario, Super Paper Mario is set to come out in April. Oh, and A Link to the Past is on the Virtual Console now.

Re: The Wii is Here.

ZOMG! They stoles my ideas!

[ http://www.interlinkremotecontrols.c...cktrigger.html ]

According to game informer:

"California's Interlink Electronics is suing Nintendo for patent infringement, claiming that the Wii's remote too closely resembles Interlink's trigger-operated pointing device. Interlink is seeking a restraining order on Wii sales, damages, and a reimbursement of legal fees."

What the hell? Whenever something's successful it seems all these 'great' ideas come out of the wood work to sue.

Never said you had bad taste. You don't like FF:CC and I only recall you liking like one really bad game, but we all love bad games sometimes. You're not bad.

The thing is, you settle for worse games (not bad, just not better) easier than me. That's fine and dandy and all, but I'm more stern on games that are worse, so IMHO when it comes to buying games my opinion is more valuable since I'll be more likely to suggest games that give more bang for your buck and are less of a risk 8)

Re: The Wii is Here.

Afrobean, you needs to be at least three feet (preferably more) away from the screen, and be sure that your sensor bar is set up properly. I discovered that WarioWare, with the setup I had on Saturday needed the Wii Remote to be pointed a little lower than expected. We were quite close to the TV, though.

Yeah... I was sitting on the floor about 3 feet away. I tried getting up onto the love seat I have (probably about 2 more feet and off the floor, that is to say, on level with the TV/sensor bar)and that didn't help random things like that either. I wish it just displayed a cursor on the screen for those games where if you don't point at the screen, you pretty much 100% lose.

I tried screwing around with sensitivity, but I didn't notice a difference, so I left it as it was.

blargherness, don't listen to Carbo. I haven't gotten far into Elebits, but it seems fairly good so far, and Wario Ware, despite me having random fits of it going "dur ur not pointing at the screen u lose", it's still awesome. Just check out some gameplay videos on youtube or something or see if you can get a friend to get it first to try it out haha.

You mean to tell me you enjoyed Crystal Chronicles?

HOW?!

First of all, fact is, they totally made that game to milk funds from fans of the Final Fantasy series. In order to play multiplayer you had to have the GBA->GC link. That was so lame.

Second of all, one character wasn't even able to do much of anything. They had to carry around that stupid chalice. It sucked. Oh, battle. Put it down. Battle's over. Pick it up.

Third, it ended way too quickly. A friend and I beat the game in an hour. Then it was like "oh yay year 3" WHICH WAS A REPEAT OF YEAR ONE. Same goes for year 4. Year 5. Year 6.

The game was so poorly made I cannot see how anyone enjoyed it. But that's just me.

Re: The Wii is Here.

CC was phenomenal multiplayer, 4 player. It's just having 3 friends who have what's needed. I was lucky there. Sucked single player. 2 player sucked. 3 player was meh.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Super Smash Bros. Brawls is coming out.

Re: The Wii is Here.

...thank you for that.

In other news, Ed Boon released a small demo of how MK: Armageddon works for Wii.

Personally, I was hoping for more of a Wii Boxing-type fighting game. If the Bleach game has actual swordfighting, it might be really good. Also hoping One Piece Grand Adventure is good (shut up >_>)

Then again, I haven't seen how any other fighters work on Wii. I know Jason has Budokai, so maybe he knows.

Re: The Wii is Here.

If I remember right, X-Play gave it Fighting game of 06. I'm probably wrong on that though. I do know that most of the gamefaq reviews give it (8-10)/10. Just something about the Wiimote and Dragonball Z that go together.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I have the wii now and I'm using it now to type in here with the web browser (opera).

No, I meant to say I didn't like it.

Rofl, nice waste of time with that post.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Then why are we disagreeing at all?

Sheesh. You made it seem like you hated all the game I liked and that all games I hated were stellar. Then you limited that to one example, and that one example was wrong.

Way to go.

WarioWare should be here by Thursday or Friday. If they are late, it'll be early next week. Can't wait <3

Re: The Wii is Here.

Squeek, was saving like 10 dollars really worth waiting so long?

Re: The Wii is Here.

Don't diss Carbo for that. ^^; He never said anything wrong... It was just a miscommunication. I got his meaning just fine. I'm not picking sides or anything, but he's saying that you two have the same taste in games (the disliking of FF:CC was an example of that), only he's pickier about which of those good games to recommend.

Anyway, I got my WarioWare and am happy. <3 (Although I must admit Phoenix Wright has been taking most of my time anyway in spite of that >_> )

Also, I hear they are releasing a revised Wiimote that recharges instead of using batteries....? Dangit, I already have 3 battery Wiimotes. >_>
