It's already been reported that the M+ drains the battery faster when you leave it in the 'Mote for non-M+ games so I'm sure games that actually use it will take up even more juice. I just cracked open a new quad Nyko charge station since I hate the amount of batteries I burn so I hope it will last a long time.

You should have gotten a thing with rechargeable AAs. That's what I've got and I love it, I can use the same batteries and charger with my Wii remotes, 360 controllers, and various remotes and other things, and when the batteries can't hold a charge anymore you just have to buy new batteries and not a whole new charger.

All of my rechargeable AAs died or got lost around the same time so I just kinda decided to try something new. Plus it was on sale.

I'm ambidextrous so I can easily adapt to any control setup the Wii throws at me! HA HA HAAA!

My copy showed up yesterday but I would have never known had I not come to my moms house for Easter. I'm gonna go fire it up in a little bit.

Do you ship packages to your parents house too? I don't trust my neighborhood so I send them to my folks house since they are in a low crime community and my appartment is right off a busy street in a higher crime area. Don't want my stuff to get jacked.

I have everything shipped there since I never bothered to change my address. It also gives me a reason to go visit my mom more often since I always have to pick up my mail. It also works better with larger packages(front door and mail box is not really visible from the street) since you can't hear the mail person knock at the apartment unless they knock on the window.

I do that with larger/expensive packages, but not with a single videogame.

Just started playing this. It's OKAY so far..

whats with the ugly person demonstrating how to swing the sword? Wouldn't an animation that doesn't break the look of the game suffice?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #584 on:** April 05, 2010, 09:44:58 PM »

They mentioned the blonde in an interview. They tried replacing it with animations, but they found she was the easiest way to convey the movements.

Also, this game is more than okay. You have to get into the combat like a Ninja Gaiden or a Devil May Cry.

EasyCure · « **Reply #585 on:** April 05, 2010, 10:02:22 PM »

I'm sure i'll like it, today I've been juggling the following games:

wii sports resort
red steel 2
call of duty: modern warfare [reflex]
super princess peach
and mushroom men

after a 2 week absence from my Wii.

The fact that i was rushing thru those forced tuturiols probably put me in the wrong mood to enjoy the game.

Don't wolf down the steak without chewing it! Savor the flavor...

EasyCure · « **Reply #587 on:** April 05, 2010, 10:36:48 PM »

after being starved for so long i felt like a buffet, sue me.

SixthAngel · « **Reply #588 on:** April 06, 2010, 10:38:54 AM »

This game gets better and better as you go along. The new moves really keep making the combat better and better. I just learned the matador and the shot. The shot is probably my favorite.

I also like all the hidden things they have around like the Sherrif Stars, it reminds me of looking for the items in Metroid.

Peachylala · « **Reply #589 on:** April 06, 2010, 11:42:06 AM »

That, but as EasyCure said, the tutorials really break up the flow. Still a fine game... now where are the sales data?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #590 on:** April 06, 2010, 12:18:25 PM »

Well I just went over to VGCha*SLAP*.....

Thanks Salesbot.... I needed that, I don't know what just came over me.
I....I'll just wait for some real numbers from NPD either this week or next.

The tutorials were fairly annoying (especially having to repeat a move 3 times at the end) but they don't take that much time and the rest of the game is fun.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #593 on:** April 06, 2010, 02:28:13 PM »

Does anyone have the pre-order codes for RS2?

edit:
Ok, I just have to say that I've been playing this up to the second training right now and I already miss twitch based gaming. I don't necessarily want to have to swing my whole arm. I like that it's somewhat accurately tracking the direction of my movements, but i really don't want to do wild movements that could put the surrounding furniture or people in harms way when simple but accurate movements would suffice.

This is gonna take some getting used to.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #594 on:** April 06, 2010, 03:09:11 PM »

Quit whining, you knew what you were getting into when you forfeited the dead presidents.

This game weeds out weakness.

I saw an OH-BEESE man play Wii Sports Resort Swordplay at a Fry's store. He casually waved his wrist like he was wielding a garden hose, and got whooped at stage1. What an utter failure. Bring some passion to the table, move your ass.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #595 on:** April 06, 2010, 03:15:49 PM »

But I have to swing like I'm actually trying to kill someone or my M+ is not working properly.
But either way, it seemed to track much easier in WSR than it is here.

I'm used to movements from the elbow to the hand(M+) vs just wrist movement(basic wiimote), but this is requiring full on movement from the shoulder and the nunchuck cord just isn't long enough for that. I'm gonna end up tying my wrist into some sort of knot with the cord if I'm not careful.

edit:

It's weird that it responds fine when in non combat situations, but acts up when I need to fight, more specifically the downward strike.

Stratos · « **Reply #596 on:** April 06, 2010, 03:41:00 PM »

Buy the wireless nunchuck. I'm seriously thinking about getting one specifically for games like this.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #597 on:** April 06, 2010, 04:09:58 PM »

you can adjust the effort level for swings. Are you standing up?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #598 on:** April 06, 2010, 05:30:35 PM »

sitting down. It works fine when I'm not in a combat situation and then when enemies show up everything becomes difficult and nothing registers. I just beat the Hammer swinging boss, but it wasn't thanks to sword thrust (not that I wasn't trying).

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #599 on:** April 06, 2010, 05:55:55 PM »

Hmm since you are sitting down I think that the range of movement may be a problem. Whenever I played the first Red Steel or No More Heroes I had to stand up to do the sword fighting.

Are you sitting in a chair or something that may restrict your movement of your arms?
