TalkBack / Re: Zelda 25th Anniversary Flipnote Contest Winners

« on: October 17, 2011, 04:18:14 PM »

So, these videos are all 15 of their respective winners' flipnotes all stuck together end-to-end? For those interested in the names of the creators of the original flipnotes, the official sites for the contest are:

North America: http://zelda.nintendo.com/flipnote/

Europe and Oceania: http://microsite.nintendo-europe.com/zelda_25/en_GB/flipnote.html

Japan: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/zelda25th/ugomemo/index.html

I like Vokyous' flipnote (NA) with the Cuccos the best. When Link slipped on the Red Rupee, I couldn't stop laughing. Guess that's what would happen in real life if Rupees were just left around willy-nilly like that.

Well, looks like I've got yet another problem with my system, and I've got a question about it. There is some kind of static or other graphical defect that happens in most games, usually when special effects like wind and fog happen but it shows in other places as well. It's kind of difficult for me to explain, but it looks something like the problem in this video I found:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJNMO9PALZ8

It started small and so I just let it go, but it's been getting worse and becoming distracting. I have a feeling that eventually it is going to stop working. To make sure that it is the system and not the TV, I tried it on another TV and also using a different cable, and got the same result.

From what I can gather, this is a problem with the GPU. So my question is to people who have experienced this issue themselves and sent it in for repair: did you keep all of your data? If there's a risk the data will be deleted (or if doing so is a part of the repair process), then I'll probably just ride it out and see how much longer it lasts.

I'm pretty sure they'll transfer your channels/WiiWare games, along with your save data. I've had the exact same problem, and ended up buying a replacement Wii. The Wii gets too hot and fries its own GPU or whatever. Turning off whatever it is that recieves email etcetera while it's off seems to prevent it. Was it Standby Mode I'm thinking of...? Anyways, new Wii hasn't had a problem since. If you do send it into Nintendo, you'll want Standby Mode or whatever it is off. When my first Wii was on the fritz and the whole screen got like that video (far worse) I turned off Standby Mode and it slowly got better, until it was gone except for when bullets were shot or fog drifted in etcetera, generally in an FPS.

Aren't more Mii Plaza minigames coming out soon? You could burn through a small amount on those when they are released.

Just felt the need to point out that you made a mistake. They are not PYGMIES but rather, Pigmies if iirc. They are pig creatures with wings. Pygmies, on the other hand... I'm just waiting for someone to leave a comment going "ew, you can feed pygmies and have them lay eggs? gross man."

Did you... did you... did you just call Monster Hunter Tri G, Dragon Quest Tri G? xD But aside from that, that's some pretty cool stuff.

Nintendo Gaming / Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Discussion And Details

« on: September 20, 2011, 02:59:41 PM »

I am quite excited for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, and am hoping this thread can be used to discuss the game. Note, for those interested, I have collected as much data as I could about the game, including videos, pictures and details of the gameplay here. There are bound to be factual errors and information left out, so I would appreciate comments on that page and here about things I should change.

Anyways, I personally do not view Theatrhythm as a cheap cash-grab spin-off as most seem to, and as a fan of the series's music, am highly anticipating its release. The soundtrack is going to contain fifty tracks, but only three from each of the thirteen FF games, so I can see a lot of people complaining that their favourite tune didn't make it in the game. There's only one battle theme for every game being used, when there are often several battle themes per main series games, from boss battles, to normal battles, remixes etc. I hope there's some sort of DLC. Just wondering what different people's opinions on the game are.
