General Gaming / GCN Games and Widescreen/Progressive Scan

« on: March 10, 2003, 06:09:19 AM »

Hi everyone, I apologize if this has been addressed already in the past...

I'm interested in upgrading my video rig to a widescreen (16:9) HDTV running compatible games in progressive scan mode.  Now my question is, how many GCN games (rough estimate) support the 16:9 video size?  I know some games like Super Monkey Ball 2 and Eternal Darkness have options to set the screen for 16:9 dispay, but I think I've also heard that starting up some games in progressive scan mode will automatically adjust the video width to widescreen proportions.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

thanks!

Nintendo Gaming / Problem with Kirby game...seriously...

« on: February 07, 2003, 01:30:12 PM »

Hi All-

This may sound stupid but I bought Kirby: NIDL and I can't figure out how to save my progress.  I bought it used on half.com and didn't get a manual with it.  

Is there a button configuration I need to do to save?  or should it be saving automatically?  I've played it mulitple times and beaten the first level boss (the tree that spits), plus several levels of World 2, but when I turn the unit off, nothing saves.  Next time I pop the cartridge in and turn it on, all three save spots are empty.

Am I doing something wrong?  or is something wrong with my game cart?

Please help if you can...thanks!
