Title: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: Pale on October 20, 2008, 04:46:50 PM
So, I think it's officially time to retry the official NWR WiFi night concept.  My idea right now is that the first Wednesday of every month will be set aside to try and get everyone online.

Prior to that day, we will have two threads.  The first one will be for game nominations, and the second one will be for voting on which game gets played.

That way, we'll all be on the same game, regardless of what it is.  Once a game is decided on, we will have another special thread compiled of friend codes of only people participating that night

So, consider this the nomination thread.  I'm going to get things rolling with a nomination for Mario Kart Wii!

Nomination for Battalion Wars Wii

Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 20, 2008, 04:56:38 PM
I think that's an excellent choice, Pale.  Almost everybody has it and enjoys it, and as far as I know it plays well online for nearly everyone.

Wonderful idea. I'll game, and Mario Kart would've been my choice, too. I'm gonna need to double-check to make sure I've got everyone's Mario Kart code (add me if you haven't!) and let's ROLL!

Bomberman Blast.  It's cheap ($10) and anyone who doesn't have it should be able to easily purchase it within the next couple weeks.

I guess it may be too early for Guitar Hero World Tour, but I will nominate it for December.

Besides Mario Kart, I'd also nominate Brawl -- it has been months since I played it, and I'd like to see if the lag has improved (and if my skills have withered).

My idea right now is that the first Wednesday of every month will be set aside to try and get everyone online.

I'd like to suggest that the day (and even the week) shouldn't always be consistent.  People might work late on Wednesdays or they might travel for work on the first week of every month and this would prevent them from participating.  I think it would be better to hold the event every 2 or 3 weeks and to mix up the day every time.

I'm gonna buy it by then.

But if we put 15 people online the network is gonna eat it again! ;)

Mario Kart would be my number one due to the fact that the online component works really well.
As for others, I'll nominate Tetris Party and second Jonny's GH:WT nominee despite my preference to Rock band.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: Toruresu on October 20, 2008, 06:27:24 PM
I second the Bomberman Blast!

Cheap, fun, lag free (at least till now), easy to get into and hard to put down.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: TheFleece on October 20, 2008, 07:46:27 PM
This is a cool idea and I'll put my vote in for Mario Kart as well as Brawl because like Jonny I haven't played in a while and want to see the lag again. Maybe it's not so bad anymore.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: that Baby guy on October 20, 2008, 08:21:23 PM
I'm gonna go with Brawl and Pokemon.  With GH's online, there seems to be very little "character."  You can say "WOW, you're good," but that's the limit of what's shared.

Also...you might want to do some sort of freeplay thing every once in a while, just get a bunch of NWR's online, and let them pick what to play.

I liked our Mario Kart night from a while back, so I'll support that one.

Brawl, too.

Post by: BeautifulShy on October 20, 2008, 09:10:18 PM
I agree with Nickmitch.I enjoyed the matches I had with Mario Kart and Brawl.
What Wifi games does everybody have? My games are Brawl, Mario Kart and Samba De Amigo.

We will see about that Pro.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 20, 2008, 09:29:57 PM
My top picks would be Bomberman and Mario Kart, but I'm no good at one and out of practice with the other. Either way, count me in.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: Dasmos on October 20, 2008, 09:44:41 PM
I liked our Mario Kart night from a while back, so I'll support that one.

Second.

Also, you know, it has 12-player support.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: BeautifulShy on October 20, 2008, 10:08:35 PM
Yes that is another thing to consider the number of players the game allows. More people less people that has to wait.

Third. I dont know if i played the same night as you guys, but seeing the lot of you online during the first few days of MK launch was pretty sweet. I havent played that or Brawl since so either way i'll suck at a game, but MK wii will get my vote.

GH:WT will be cool too, even if its just me, Johnny, and nron10!

also, wheres the love for Mario Strikers Charged!!! You should all be ashamed of yourselves ;)

1 Vote for Mario Kart.

EasyCure I think the only people that have Strikers are Pro and Armak.Would everybody post what Wi-Fi games you have.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread

Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: Armak88 on October 21, 2008, 12:26:12 AM
i have:

Brawl
Mario Kart
Battalion wars 2
strikers

I would be up for any of those, but brawl is my favourite.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: NWR_Neal on October 21, 2008, 01:00:55 AM
Mario Strikers, Brawl, MKart, Bomberman Blast, Tetris Party, Madden 09, Mario Super Slug...wait, that last one should have it but Nintendo's stupid...
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: Gylldas on October 21, 2008, 01:40:46 AM
I have Mario Kart, Brawl, Strikers, and Endless Ocean (what an exciting wifi night that would be ;P)

Mario Kart gets my vote this time.

You're all dead meat.

Nominating Reggie Kart Wii for sheer hilarity.

Also, stupid timezones. I shake my fist at the them. And no, I'm not skipping work to beat you guys senseless at Mario Kart. Although that would be nice.

Post by: Nick DiMola on October 21, 2008, 10:09:16 AM
Mario Kart seems like the way to go to me.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread
Post by: Pale on October 21, 2008, 10:10:55 AM
Just a reminder that this is just a nomination thread... no need to fight over games yet. :)  Every game mentioned will be put in a poll sometime this weekend so we can vote on which game gets played.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread

EasyCure I think the only people that have Strikers are Pro and Armak.Would everybody post what Wi-Fi games you have.

More like the only people that STILL have it. I know i added a bunch of you when the game launched, not sure how many added me back though *shakes fist!*

I think Stevey kicked my ass once, and i know i whooped Caliban good, first online match ever (on strikers) too! :-D

Anywho, if i didnt make it clear in my last post: Mario Kart wii is a must since it might just be the easiest to play online.

Post by: Spinnzilla on October 21, 2008, 05:50:32 PM
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2.  Just adding it to the nomination block.  It's big online player support would be good.

mariokart, brawl, bomberman and battalion wars are good picks too.

you guys are forgetting about ANIMAL CROSSING.  PHISHING TOURNEY.

I agree with you Spinzilla but do we have many owners of the game here?

I hope enough.  I think games like MOHH2 and Kart are the two best solutions, for the large player support.

After downloading it last night, Tetris Party would also be great for at least one-on-one battles.

If a game gets voted for that I don't own, I plan on going to pick it up.... But I own most of these games. :)

I would also like to play brawl but worried about lag ruining the whole event. also for tyhe rest of the NWR staff next time you guys hold this try switching the day of the week every once in a while because some people might have stuff on wednsday and miss the event :P
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - November 5 - Nomination Thread

I'll do a vote for the day of the week for December then... but Wednesday sticks for November.

Post by: BeautifulShy on October 23, 2008, 10:35:42 PM
Bubba1287 it hasn't been decided yet what game we will be playing. I believe Pale said that he will make a thread for friend codes once the game has been decided.

The problem with Mario Strikers is that, while the game is amazing, it's not playable over different regions. Battalion Wars might not be either but I haven't checked.
