It's a shame that most reviewers will only play a few hours in before calling the game garbage, long before they get to the best parts of it.

Arn't reviewers supposed to play the whole game before shitting on it?

Nintendo Gaming / RE: The Wii Obscure Facts and FAQ

« on: November 21, 2006, 06:05:08 PM »

Excellent faq,  I have a question though. On this one:

Is my Wii's disc slot supposed to glow blue the whole time?
No. It only glows blue when you have a message waiting for you that someone has sent. This occurs after you shut off your Wii, as it will still periodically connect to WiiConnect24 and look for messages to download from your registered friends.

The disc slot is not turning on when I have a message, wiiconnect24 is on but it seems as if the messages arn't comming in till I actually click on my messages.  What gives?  I would love to see more of that nice light.

There is a version number in the settings in the upper right hand corner. My version is 2.0U if you have something older you should call Nintendo and see if it is that one.

I actually am enjoying it now that I have the controls down pat.  It is very intense, I love it.  What bothers me still:

1. The crap cutseens
2. The unpolished all around feel.
3. Lack of brain power required. :p
4. Maybe I'm racist but when I shoot at black people dressed like 50 cent they shouldn't talk like a small white guy.

But other than that I love it.  Personally so far I will give it a 7.5/10.

Pale, almost all of thesounds will come out of the speakers when you just simply turn the speaker all the way down.  It is in the home button menu in-game.

How long is it taking you guys to get into the wii shop?  I am just hoping for moral support here. Cause some times it will only take a couple of minutes, other times it wont get on at all.  :/  I have no problem sending messages, that only takes a couple of minutes.  Even w/ pictures.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Nunchuck where art thou?

« on: November 19, 2006, 08:02:19 PM »

Yeah I work at a Fred Meyer in Spokane Washington and I had a good experieance, I waited about 8 hours in line and they checked up on us every 20minutes and also brought us hot chocolate and apple cider twice.  As well as taking our names and allowing us to leave in 30 minute increments.  My Fred Meyer sold me Zelda and Red Steel a few days earlier, so I got my games.   However spare nunchucks and wiimotes were hard to find the next day.  Found mine at shopko.  Good luck all.

Hey WalkingTheCow, those Wii Play shirts are sweet huh? Our electronics department got like 1 hundred of them...

« on: November 19, 2006, 11:04:03 AM »

My first message appears to have taken about 20 minutes.  I just registered a wii with someone have yet to recieve their request.  I haven't recieved my other messages just yet but at least I got one message.  

I would expect some server issues mostly due to high demand but I am still an impatient boy.  Oh well, this is probably a topic worth discussing to see what other people are incountering.

I have sent a few emails to my wii now and have yet to recieve any of them.  Right now it is stand by mode, and apparentely you should see the blue light come on when you have an email.  Is it pop3 where I have to tell it to check?

It's just you all these sound at least moderate:

Far Cry: Vengeance - Ubisoft - Seen the trailer for this?  It looks good.

Elebits - Konami - We gotta give this one more time.

Super Swing Golf - Tecmo - Maybe they'll get WiiGolf on track.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent - Ubisoft -  If you like this kind of game, interesting to see how it will work.

TalkBack / RE:Wii Details a Bit Early

« on: September 14, 2006, 08:27:36 AM »

I very excited about this, the price is what I was expecting, these sort of details are the ones people always get let down about.  So I could care less, the only one that makes me nervous is the price of wiimotes and spare nunchucks at 40 dollars a wiimote and 20 dollars a nunchuck that is quite expensive.  But hell I am very satisfied with the price so far, and am excited to spend the next week deciding what to buy on launch :p.
