I will be picking up Distubed: Asylum and Korn 3 soon.
If the wii 2 is going to include any kind of multimedia functions such as a music player, I have a good idea of how to use it and make it unique. Basically have a music player where I create the miis of my favorite band, assign certain songs to them and then play the music and have some kind of rock concert going on inside my wii 2.
For example, I like the band Godsmack, so I would create the miis of the band such as Sully Erna, the lead singer, and then assign a song like "I Stand Alone" to the band and then play the song. The same would go for any other bands such as Korn or Disturbed.
There would also be sound amplifiers and what ever applications needed to alter the sound of the songs in a similar fashion to what the DSi music player does with soundtracks

My dad is 64-years-old and about eight years ago he had a stroke. Since then he has been paralyzed on his entire right side(hemiplegic) and is unable to use his right arm and he can still walk to an extent. A while back I convinced him to play wii sports. He play bowling, baseball, tennis and golf, but he had trouble with boxing for obvious reasons. My point is that Nintendo has created a game that can accomodate the disabled to some extent.

If you haven't played Fusion, go do it. Sure, the game is a bit linear, but it is a treat nonetheless.

Nice! Sea scorpions are my favorite extinct animal. I was actually just at a museum Saturday that had a fossil one, although this one was about the size of a crawfish.
It also talked about the first fish being jawless and that many sea cretures made their way onto land to escape predators.

« on: August 31, 2010, 01:01:50 AM »Predator X? You mean the partial pliosaur discovered a few years ago that's really big but really overly blown in the media?
Tell your professor that the Yucatan asteroid was an ENORMOUS part of the non-avian dinosaur extinction. It caused 65% of all life on Earth to be wiped out. And sure, the Earth has been hit in the past by large extrasolar bodies, including one the size of Mars that created the moon. HOWEVER, no other asteroid impact resulted in such a global species turnover. If he counters with the Permio-Triassic extinction, kindly explain that the entire goddamn world was very unstable at that time, and that extensive vulcanism more readily explains the evidence. During that extinction, life nearly died, and as many as 90% of genera went extinct.
So, by comparison, the end-Cretaceous extinction is mid-sized potatoes. Other global events helped seal the dinosaurs' fate, such as the closing of the Tethys Seaway, the draining of the Western Interior Seaway, and an increase in vulcanism. Climates were changing and so were the environments. Technically, dinosaurs had survived worse. There were extinction events in the Late Triassic and Late Jurassic periods, but the dinosaurs were largely unaffected. But the combination of factors at the end of the Cretaceous, which includes the Yucatan impact, sealed the deal. The only dinosaurs survivors were a single lineage of birds--Ornithurines. They survived and proliferated.
Ask you professor (tell him/her a friend wants to know) how readily he or she keeps up on the primary literature surrounding paleontology and dinosaurs in particular.
I was running kind of late today for class and missed about twenty minutes of the class. The guy seems like he knows what he is talking about, but when I gave a description of what he said, I might have misinterpreted what he said.
The guy claims that he has been a professor of paleontology for twenty something years. In fact, he said that two years ago he had went on a dig some where in China.
Right now we are at the point where the seas are teaming with life and animals are about to make their way onto land.
How is Predator X over blown?
I always thought that the planet colliding with the Earth to created the moon was just a theory?

Zach, I am taking a class in my college called "Dinosaur Biology" for a science credit. Basically the class starts out with the origins of life on the planet and carries all the way to the ultimate end of the dinosaurs and the emrgence of mammals as the dominant life form.
Today the professor talked about an asteroid that landed in the Yucatan did not destroy the dinosaurs because the earth had been hit by much bigger objects long before this event.

I agree that the virtual console is one of the best things to happen to games and a tear comes to my eye when I see how down hill the service has went in the last few years. We all knew that Nintendo could never have every single game on the service we want and so it might very well end.
The service will end mainly due to two things: first, return on investsments. Basically there is not enough money being made for Nintendo to warrant any kind of effort to bring titles to the virtual console. The second reason is that eventually we will have nothing but games that cost more money to bring over to the VC and legal tanglements that will eventually put a nail in the VC's coffin.
I promised that I would never mention the "R" word on this forum again(for fear of being banned), but the fact that these particular games will never set foot on the virtual console is just appaling since we, the Nintendo fans, helped those titles come fourth with our money.
I mean the TMNT series of games are caught in such a huge spider web of legal rights that we may never see Turtles in Time for SNES on the virtual console. Nor will we ever see any of the good arcade titles such as the one with Simpsons.
I have to ask this question to the RFN crew. What is the ultimate fate of the virtual console? Will it fizzle out, or will it pick back up and start giving us good titles again?
You can bet your last dollar that the wii will have a virtual console. Nintendo needs to adapt the hardware of that system to better accomodate software emulation for the consoles already available and what ever ones that will emerge on the wii 2.
It is a dream of mine to see some kind of emulation for the SEGA Saturn. Yes, it is difficult to emulate, but I want an easier access to that console's game library(Princess Crown) and this is what the virtual console is all about, right?
Here are few things that I would like to share with the RFN crew:

The first time you log onto the Wii Shop Channel, it asks you if you want to link a Club Nintendo account with your Wii Shop Channel account. If you didn't do that, here is how you can do it later:
1. Access the Wii Shop Channel through the Wii console.
2. Select "Settings" from the list of options.
3. Select "Link Your Club Nintendo Membership."
4. Enter your Club Nintendo account's Username and Password.
5. Click "Link" to complete the process.
Thank you. I just registered all of my games onto club Nintendo and I achieved gold status with about 350 points.

« on: August 28, 2010, 09:00:59 PM »And if they are going to make us buy them again, then I want 3D effects on ALL games...even if it means simple effects...I want something more for having to rebuy them.
You might as well get that thought out of your head because there is no chance of that happening. Nintendo has made it clear that VC games will not be modified unless they have too (like removing the Kawasaki ads in Wave Race 64).
Console games are unlikely to happen either, one big reason being that they would have to spend time and money to change the game's resolution to fit the 3DS (either that or have black bars on the screen).
If the handheld consoles stayed on the virtual console of the 3DS they would not have to have their resolutions tinkered with, right?
3048
Nintendo Gaming / Re: 3DS Vitual Console: Which Console and Game Should Be Available?
« on: August 28, 2010, 08:23:31 PM »Isn't the resolution of the 3DS top screen 400x240 (not counting the 3D resolution of 800 since that's used for the 3D effect and could not be used to display a game at 800)? A television is 640x480 at minimum. It wouldn't fit without modification.
I am not saying that it isn't a good idea or that I wouldn't want it, I am saying that it'd be a lot of work for Nintendo and therefore I don't see it happening. Every game would have to be reprogrammed to run on the smaller resolution, which would be too much work, unless maybe they are going to charge for the games separately. Plus, Nintendo doesn't want a download game to be playable on more than one system for various reasons, including possible abuse through hacking.
All of those handheld consoles use a LCD screen and they would be better accomodated on the screens of the 3DS then anything else. To me, a virtual handheld service is the perfect situation for the 3DS.
I mean imagine playing back lighteed Neo Geo PC, game gear, gameboy/color and advanced games without using up large amounts of battery power.
Also, if the wii 2 is going to have dreamcast virtual console support, perhaps the 3DS could incorporate VMU into its virtual handheld service to go along side the wii 2.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Official Virtual Console Mondays Thread
« on: August 28, 2010, 05:10:23 PM »Yes. Nintendo has no reason to start from scratch. They may change the shop itself, but it will have the same catalogue.
My only question is whether they will allow people to copy their download games from the Wii to the next system. Considering that the Shop Channel account is stored on the system rather than Nintendo's servers, and each and every system uses slightly different encryption to prevent copying download games to another system, it may not be technically possible.
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be technically possible, considering if you have your Club Nintendo account tied to your Wii Shop account it keeps track of everything you've purchased. Just allow the next-generation Wii to link itself to that account as well and re-download everything in your Club Nintendo list. Of course, I doubt Nintendo will allow that because that's throwing away an opportunity to extort more cash from us by making us repurchase everything.
If Saturn and Dreamcast are going to be on the wii 2 virtual console then I want to focus my money on those games and what ever straglers that are left over from the current virtual console that I have yet to pick up.
P.S. I know that the Saturn is difficult to emulate, but SEGA themselves have admitted that they could work around the problem.
