I'm surprised there's no Battery indicator in the HUD.

-1.3 from all review scores.

Screw that, thank god there isn't.

Ah, lots of disconnects for me in the last 15 minutes....

Didn't Nintendo use to have a website with online usage graphs on their website? I remember that back when Animal Crossing and Mario Kart DS came out. Does that web page still exist? Maxi? Vudu?

This is the first time hearing about this.

Back in 2005? I'll look for it.Don't know if I will find it.

Ah, you lagged out bad!

I have to go to work in a minute though. I will look at that thread when I get to work. I work at a computer shop so I am on the computer all day long.

My internet died. Been on the phone with Comcast pretty much the whole time since then.
Got a pretty sweet deal out of it though. I just now got my internet up and running again since my last post.

I would hop back on to finish that match we started, but I don't have anymore battieries for the wiimotes and the rechargeables don't hold a charge anymore

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1932 on:** July 02, 2009, 06:42:09 PM »

Maybe you can get a Wii remote charger.

There is a topic about it here

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #1933 on:** July 02, 2009, 06:47:51 PM »

Well I bought my rechargeables from radio shack back in January of 2007, they stopped working about 2 months ago.
They lasted me about 2.25yrs and only cost $30 with the charger (4 AA & 4 AAA). The AAA's are still working fine.

Will rechargeable packs do me good like that? I was thinking about getting some eneloops (or whatever they are called) since I hear so many good things about them.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1934 on:** July 02, 2009, 07:00:55 PM »

I had my Nyko charger about 2 years. I think I got it for 35 dollars.So compaired to your experience it may not be as good as a deal as what you had.

It really depends on what you want. Are you going to use rechargeables on everything or just Wii remotes?

kraken613 · « **Reply #1935 on:** July 02, 2009, 07:22:17 PM »

I use energizer rechargeables and they are still going strong.

Stratos · « **Reply #1936 on:** July 02, 2009, 09:10:55 PM »

After a while those rechargeable batteries lose their ability to hold a charge. Since you already have the charger may as well just buy more batteries for it.

I don't have that issue anymore because my sister works in a doctors office and they use a lot of batteries on 24-hour cycles. A standard Duracell or Energizer cannot go for 48 hours straight so after 24 hours they switch them out. She gives be bags of half used bateries that will register full on my Wii. Pretty handy. I'm planning on stockpiling them so I don't have an issue for a long while.

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #1937 on:** July 02, 2009, 09:15:56 PM »

Thatas a good deal... I personally like my Nyko Charger... There is no hassle to remove the batteries ever from the Remote

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1938 on:** July 02, 2009, 09:16:43 PM »

Do you recycle them?

Stratos · « **Reply #1939 on:** July 02, 2009, 09:22:00 PM »

Do I have to take them to a special place to recycle them? I'm pretty sure you can't just dump them in a curbside recycling container.

Technically I am recycling them because they would just be thrown out if my sister didn't take them.

"It's not the driver. There was a system update that included the addition of WiiSpeak support." Oh yeah,. I forgot about that update.. how about this, try plugging in the wii speak mic into an updated computer system with new drivers. See what the computer thinks it is. I just checked on the mic from Rockband and it registers as a logitech. just fun things to do really.

I plugged it into my Mac with the most up to date OS and it didn't recognize it at all. Nothing. I was expecting it to say USB Microphone but NOTHING popped up.

Whatever that big grey thing is in the middle of the wii speak cord that probably blocks it from being used on computers without special programming and allows that and only that to be used on Wii. I wonder what that thing is.

kraken613 · « **Reply #1941 on:** July 02, 2009, 09:51:15 PM »

It pops up as Wii Party on a PC. There are just no drivers for it to work.

You're in luck because a couple of weeks ago I was looking for information on such action. I hope this helps.

Sooo DAaaMan64, howd you fair online?

Excellent, I've had two problems of about 12 matches total. It only has happened on the initial connection attempts. I get that weird thing BnM described, like where my gun can rotate but I can't point fire, or be seen, not even move. However, only twice has it happened.

My matches have been real fun, let me recommend Team play over Free For All. FFA is to frantic, not strategy, or silence. Team means sneaking around with someone and tricking other players, way more fun.

I've found it is when you are trying to connect initially to a match that is at maximun capacity. Sometimes trying to synch 12 systems is a bit much, especially mid-game.

I have also found that I like playing team matches better. Someone to watch my back.

You and I against everyone. It was like 40-15! I like team too. I need to play some random matches to rank up more.

If you want to do it again there need to be more players.

Maxi and I versus you, ShyGuy and GK felt more balanced, but still off.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1947 on:** July 03, 2009, 03:25:46 AM »

6 vs. 6 in the hospital level would be nuts. That is a tight and brutal level.

I've been playing the single player more and it is hard in places, at least on guarded. The style of combat feels unique. It's not run and gun, it's not stop and pop, and it's not turtling. I think I would call it multi-tasking. Since you have rushing enemies, flying enemies and sniping enemies, plus spawn points and land mines, you have to face a lot of different attack styles all at the same time. I'm warming up to the alien weapons because they seem to do more damage.

Stratos · « **Reply #1948 on:** July 03, 2009, 03:58:27 AM »

Yeah, I hated the alien weapons at first but I've grown fond of them. The bio-rifle or whatever it's called is really neat. I like how it reloads too.

rank? did someone say rank.. how does it track the rankings?
