General Chat / Was NeoGAF always like this?

« on: January 31, 2007, 02:19:29 PM »

I've heard a lot of people talk about the GAF boards but I've never really sat down and looked at the forums.
So tonight I went over there and looked at it so see if it's worth joining.
The only word I could be used to describe it was "wasteland".

I'm not trying to insult any NWR posters who post there, but has that site always been so screwed up?
Could anyone fill me with a little history of that place.

Nintendo Gaming / New Wii Information via Magicbox

« on: November 15, 2006, 05:13:00 AM »

Here's some new info via Magicbox...

Up to 100 Miis can stay in your Mii plaza

The Photo Channel can display a maximum of 1000 photos. If your SD card has more than 1000 photos, you can reorganize the way the photos is displayed

The Photo Channel can display JPEG images up to 8192x8192 resolution, or QuickTime videos up to 848x480 resolution
You cannot save or overwrite any photos or videos stored on SD cards

Software downloaded from Wii Shop Channel is licensed to you, not sold.

You cannot send photos from your Wii console to PC or cellphone users

Parental Control feature does not apply to GameCube games

If you use the messaging feature on the Wii console, Nintendo may monitor your usage and share certain information as required by law

Initial recommended distance for using the Wii Remote is 3 to 8 feet from the sensor bar. Direct sunlight and various light sources can interfere or make the Wii Remote operation less optimal.

By formatting the Wii Shop Channel from the Wii System menu, you will clear all records of your transactions and rights to download software

Adjusting the speaker and rumble settings will affect all Wii remote currently connected to the Wii console.

What this about formatting the Wii Channel and not "having rights to download software".  
I assume they mean downloaded software.

Nintendo Gaming / Baiten Katos Origins

« on: September 28, 2006, 07:12:05 AM »

Is any one else playing this game?  

So far I'm past the first boss trying to sneak out of the city.  
The overworld graphics seem to be the same as the first, but the battle graphics seemed to have improved.  

The battle system has been dumbed down, unfornately.
Bigger update later.
