I only have 1 Classic controller. Don't really play many multiplayer VC games. Hmm $60 for the Pro bundle.I think about it. I might want to try the demo some more before deciding.

It may sound silly but I do feel this could become the new 'AC game' for us. With the variety of things you can do like gather materials, hunt monsters and just mess around looking for treasure, I can see you, Mop it up and myself traipsing about randomly while talking about random non-related stuff like we do in AC a lot (or used to at least).

Trade in your old useless CC, and get the great, comfortable, shiny, black CC Pro.

It's a nice sentiment but also kind of depressing. I miss the glory days of Animal Crossing, I could check online any evening and find at least one person on. The game provided some experiences I won't soon forget. Plus I just got a USB keyboard, so now I can not only type faster, but type whilst performing other tasks. Oh well, at least I can use it for Monster Hunter.

But, I guess it is time to have some new experiences. I don't think any game will be as good as Animal Crossing, but then again, there's no need to compare them. If this game means you'll be back to a regular playing schedule, then that would be nice.

I thought you had WiiSpeak now?

[Mop it up]

I used to have one but I sold it. It is so poor that I'd rather type and know my message got through.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Ahhh. I was hoping to hear your voice at least once.

But yeah, Wii Speak is garbage.

[Adrock]

I got Wii Speak for like $6. If I traded it in, I think I might make money.

My brother said there's no one on Wii Speak... more like Fail Speak. el oh el

[Mop it up]

I've seen plenty of people with Wii Speak. The thing is, only friends can chat, and only if both have one. So you won't be able to talk with random people. This also means you'll probably get friend requests from randoms, so they can talk. You can tell if someone has Wii Speak if they have a yellow megaphone icon, and it will have a red X over it if they're not on your roster.

Finally got the game. How do I register my character for online play? Maybe I haven't "gotten there" yet? I just completed my first quest.

[Mop it up]

When you load up your game and character, instead of selecting Village, select City.

I've had little to no time playing Realistic Zelda Pokemon Animal Crossing Hybrid ever since the parents got an HDTV for the games room (where my beloved white Wii is hooked up) and I've been playing the **** out of NSMBWii. I have to get back to it, soon.
 
The last part I remember leaving off at, I received the pick ax from the dwarf so I could mine ore.

So this game is really awesome.

My housemate is a huge monster hunter fan, and talked me into getting it.  He's been showing me the ropes,  telling me what combines into what, monster attack strategies, teaching me how to work the traps, about armor skill sets, and the importance of almost everything.  I think this game is super cool because it almost fosters this sort of behavior, since you don't gain levels, and the game barely tells you anything it really is on you to figure stuff out.  But because the game is also pretty difficult, I think it lends itself to more experienced players helping less experienced ones.

I'm using the bowgun, and tried out the switch axe.  Bowguns are fun because you can make different ammo for them, including healing shots, you get great flexibility but its expensive.  But everything is expensive.

I need to get in the wifi group!

I think this game is a great match for the Wii.  It has an old school aesthetic, and is more about gameplay and content, than anything else.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I guess I will pick this up in about a week or two and maybe a Black Wii to go with it.

move the (my girls*) White Wii out to the living room where it will match the couches and put the black Wii in bedroom where it will match the black entertainment center (and the soon to be all black bedroom.)

*I pretty(unofficially) much gave my White Wii to my mom so now I don't really have one of my own.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Certainly doesn't CONTROL like a "good Wii game".  All the Classic Controller buzz just proves people are dealing with their unearthly closet desires to have a "PS2 experience" without a PS2.  It merely has Wii decals.

Now we have 2 camps.  The "never let you go" Brawl players who cling to their Nintendo GAMECUBE controllers, and now the Closet Hunters who desired Dual-Shock controllers tethered to their Wii Remotes.

I hate you all.

I got the game after all that praise it got, some stuff is fairly confusing but I think I'm getting used to it. Just finished the first capture quest after several attempts that resulted in running out of the bombs I needed to finish the capture (because of other enemies interfering or the throws being to high or whatnot). I used a bowgun for that because in addition to the bombs you get shots so that thing gets more attempts but in the end I needed only two bombs.

[Mop it up]

This game does nothing but increase my hatred of cats.

[BlackNMild2k1]

yet you still didn't vote for dogs....

whiner :

I think its good to have different experiences across the platform.  Not every game needs to have motion controls.  This game is stout in its old gaming mentality.  It contains no hollywood story, no multimillion cutscenes, and is extremely non linear.

It's a perfect fit for the Wii's mentality, but not necessarily its preferred controls.

You can bring in additional traps and bombs to those missions; I usually do. I noticed that if you only use two tranq bombs, the third one tends to stay in your inventory after the mission, so you can build up a collection that way. The easiest way, though, is to use your farm, mine some ore, and make your own.

[KDR_11k]

Yeah, I didn't have the means to make the tranq bombs at that point, made some extra tranq ammo though.

[Mop it up]

The capture missions are probably the only quests which are easier online, as then you can have every player bring a trap and tranqs in case mistakes are made.

[Stratos]

I have yet to figure out how to make new traps and tranqs. I see an item for sale in the market that says it is needed to make them but I have no idea how to go about making them.

I've been dabbling in random combos to see what I make and have come up with some interesting stuff.

Also I'm focusing a lot of the fishing ships because they bring back a lot of great treasure that I can sell for plenty if ziggy bucks.

[Armak88]

If you combine the trap tool with a net then you get a pitfall trap. The spiderweb and Ivy make a net. I wish you could take more than one trap with you though.

[Mop it up]

You can bring more than one trap if you have different types. You can take a pitfall trap and a shock trap with you, and then take the EZ Shock Trap in the supply box (it's different because it is a supply item).

To make a shock trap, combine the trap tool with a thunderbug. To make tranq bombs, combine tranquilizer with a bomb casing. You can buy tranquilizer, but you can also make it with a sleep herb and a parashroom.
