Nintendo Gaming / RE: Wii Sports Carboard "Case"

« on: November 26, 2006, 04:27:32 AM »

Did you notice these people selling an artwork + empty dvd case on Ebay?
Sure they're usually around 3 or 5 bucks but still, that's kinda lame.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Nintendo's Wii titles for 2007

« on: November 25, 2006, 08:36:38 PM »

Nice schedule for 2k7, I think those should be mine:
* Disaster: Day of Crisis
* Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
* Super Mario Galaxy
* Super Paper Mario (Former GC title)
* Super Smash Bros. Brawl
* Wii Music

I'm not sure about these 2:
* Project H.A.M.M.E.R.
* Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn

And what the heck is this one?!
* Forever Blue

How did that happen?!
All these "my Wii is bricked" posts are making me nervous about mine arriving next week (hopefully).

Okay, my Wii has finally been shipped yesterday.
Now I just have to wait for my friend in Cali to receive it and send it back to me.
Oh the wait is still killing me...

The Ice Blue one looks pretty awesome in my opinion!
I almost went for the Navy Blue one but it's not "finger prints" friendly apparently!

Probably because they're comparing them to 360 or PS3 "standards", which is really stupid IMO.
Most people still don't understand the Wii concept, oh well, too bad for them!

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Wired internet connection

« on: November 18, 2006, 09:46:14 AM »

The Nintendo Wi-Fi thing doesn't work with my firewall, which is ZoneAlarm.
I've tried numerous times to make it work but no luck.
So it's basically there in my room, in its box and I wasted 40 euros on it (about 45 bucks). And I never got to play my DS games online!

Hmmm, I see, well, that makes sense.
You could always state in the auction that any customs fees are the buyer's responsibility and delays may apply. As for tracking, you could use FedEx or others but of course, their prices are much higher than USPS'.
I'm just being the devil's advocate here but I totally understand your point of view, thanks for clearing that up

Now I have a question about that: I'm only a buyer on Ebay and it annoys me when people don't wanna ship the item I'm interested in to where I live.
Is there a reason why? I mean, if the buyer agrees to pay shipping to his/her country, I don't see where the problem is.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: First Twilight Princess Review

« on: November 17, 2006, 10:46:42 PM »

I just watched Gamespot's video review and wow, talk about being fair!
OMG THE GAME DOESN"T HAVE VOICE-ACTING, IT'S TEH L00SE!!
Seriously, I couldn't care less about voice acting in a Zelda game. At least, we don't end up having 30 minute-long CGI cutscenes that ruin the mood.
I used to like Gamespot reviews but now, I'm not so sure they're credible.
Jeff, just get a PS3 and review Riiiiidge Racerrrrrr, now that should be fun! Unless someone is too biased, huh?

Can't wait to get the real one though!

I have a friend in Cali trying to get one for me. (I live in France)
We weren't even able to do pre-orders.
This is gonna be tough. Ugh.

TalkBack / RE: Future Wii Model to Include DVD Playback

« on: November 13, 2006, 06:41:18 AM »

Even though I don't care about the Wii being able to play video DVDs, it's kind of a bad move by Big N.
It really sounds like a software and/or firmware update to me though.
Eh, I just wanna play Zelda, that's all I'm asking for! :-P

The guys at Joystiq are on crack. I don't see any other possibility.

I caved in and bought one too.
Hopefully it'll be here in a couple of weeks or less.
I saw that my tv (Philips, yeah, I don't like this brand but yeah I have one) actually has a code in the manual JonLeung posted so hopefully I can use the Wii Remote with it.

"one of the coolest things is that the psp is now starting to show up in movies, and the ds isnt, hahah even the rich people are going for the psp, because they know that they are getting more bang for their buck"

Errr, wow, that's laughable!!
Maybe the reason why PSPs are being showned in movies is probably because these movies were made/distributed by Sony/Columbia. Now wouldn't that make more sense?

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Wii Pre-Orders & Bundles

« on: October 14, 2006, 11:58:38 PM »

I was disappointed to see there was gonna be "extremely limited quantities"! I mean, what the heck?! Nintendo is shipping 1 million Wiis and $ony 400,000 PS3s but quantities available for pre-ordering are the same? I mean, come on!
I think I'll just wait for online pre-orders then. *sigh*

The Wii page on EBGames' site says "console online pre-order information coming soon".
I've definitely subscribed to their email alert thing.

10 per store for Gamestop/EBGames? o_O
I guess online pre-ordering will be different, right?
