What type of bundle?

2/11/2008 10:46:11 AM

I had to buy the wii and choose 4 accessories/games from the available choices. I choose mario galaxy, a classic controller, wii points (I think it was 2000) and a charge station. Whole thing was around 400 with 3 day shipping.

2/11/2008 10:51:53 AM

Harvest Moon came out today! Woot.

2/11/2008 1:20:34 PM

^ how bad ass is it

2/11/2008 8:47:49 PM

^^ What?? I thought that wouldn't be til April or something. How is it?

Oh. The SNES version.

oh bummer i thought it was a wii harvest moon

2/11/2008 10:44:28 PM

No, its the SNES harvest moon game and it is kicks serious ass. Almost ready for summer1. Its not as good as the N64 game but better than all the gameboy ones.

There is a wii Harvest Moon game coming? Figured there would be sometime, I just haven't heard anything about it.

2/11/2008 10:58:33 PM

What are some recommendations for virtual console games? I had to get 2000 points with my wii.

2/12/2008 11:35:31 AM

super mario 64 and mario kart 64 brought me back

2/12/2008 11:43:55 AM

I've played both of those a ton. Thinking of maybe paper mario, I never played that but I loved SMRPG...

2/12/2008 11:50:40 AM

I'd definitely recommend Super Metroid, hand down one of my all time favorite single player games in history.

2/12/2008 12:01:48 PM

Would somewhere like gamestop let me return super mario galaxy unopened out of my bundle for a different game or store credit? I already played the hell out of it on my sister wii over christmas break.

2/12/2008 4:47:15 PM

paper mario is pretty damn fun

2/12/2008 4:56:59 PM

^^ probably, but you'd get more if you sold it on craigslist or on ebay, than at gamestop.

2/12/2008 6:35:08 PM

I can't figure out why Developers hate giving online support to Wii games

Just found out that SEGA Superstars tennis will have online multiplayer on every platform...except Wii

Even the DS will have online support, but not the Wii

Why cater to one Nintendo product and not the other?

[Edited on February 13, 2008 at 9:03 AM. Reason : V good point]

2/13/2008 8:52:57 AM

^ummm that sounds like Sega's decision, not Nintendo's

2/13/2008 8:56:05 AM

^^^ So gamestop wouldnt let me "return" it for full store credit, it would be like selling them a used game?

2/13/2008 9:03:07 AM

you could return it because you dont have a receipt buddy

they'd just take it as a trade-in


if youre trying to return without receipts, take it to walmart to try

2/13/2008 9:51:05 AM

if he tries to take it back as a trade in though, i'm sure he'd only get like 60% of the value though at most

2/13/2008 10:19:54 PM

anyone know a place with the Wii Perfect Shot in stock?

2/15/2008 3:07:24 PM

Man I hope Nintendo sticks with their Spring 08 date for Mariokart

2/19/2008 3:23:17 PM

I'm still hoping they don't push back Smash again

2/19/2008 3:28:17 PM

Well it is already out in Japan, the only thing that would cause another delay would be problems translating it.

2/19/2008 3:31:40 PM

yeah, I realize that

but didn't they release it in Japan almost right after the American delay?

2/19/2008 3:38:46 PM

Mario Kart Wii has a release date of April 10th and 11th for Japan and Europe respectively. No American release date set yet. If it does come here in April, it'd be pretty amazing. March has Smash Bros., April has Mario Kart, and May has Wii Fit (which I'm not interested in, but will probably sell) and Wii Ware.

I think it'll get pushed back a little though. Launching their two biggest online titles so close to each other isn't smart. But the release schedule for the territories is weird anyway. Here's how it is for Smash Bros., Wii Fit, and Mario Kart:

Japan - Wii Fit Dec. 2007, Smash Bros Jan. 31, Mario Kart April 10
Europe - Mario Kart April 11, Wii Fit April 25th, Smash Bros. June 06
US - Smash Bros. Mar. 9th, Wii Fit May 19th, Mario Kart ???

Oh yeah, here's a link to new info on Mario Kart Wii, the graphics aren't looking too hot:

Clearly I have devoted a lot of thought to this

Is there pricing on how much wiifit is expected to be?

2/20/2008 9:50:55 PM

^^reggie says 'less than $100'. the japanese version sells for about $83 after the yen conversion

2/20/2008 9:56:03 PM

mario kart doesn't need to look good, but i hope it's more fun than double-dash

2/20/2008 10:55:09 PM

I got No More Heroes today. It's pretty funny. Recommend as a rental at least.

2/20/2008 11:27:36 PM

^^ Nintendo stopped "trying to look good" with the GC

When you put as much work into the controller scheme as they did as opposed to the visuals, you know graphics are not, and never will be, the selling point of a Nintendo game

hmm, yesterday they said on G4 that wii fit comes out june something.
or at least that's what i thought i heard.

haha i found this on the first pages of this thread.

it is humorous to reread the first few pages of this thread

2/21/2008 1:30:05 PM

Haha yeah I did that a few days ago. The wii received so much hatred in the beginning.

2/21/2008 1:35:53 PM

Well it is still a pretty bad name, it just doesn't seem as bad now that everyone uses it in every day conversation. I still think Revolution would have been a better name.

2/21/2008 1:36:03 PM

amazon gold box deals of the day are all wii related today i believe

2/22/2008 8:39:04 AM

So my controller has started going nuts. I've only had the wii maybe a week and a half or so. It will work fine for like 30 minutes then it will start shooting all around the screen and not aiming where i tell it to. I've tried recharging the batteries, resyncing, restarting, nothing works. Any advice?

2/24/2008 2:36:05 PM

move the sensor bar to the top of the tv, make sure you're not playing in direct sunlight

2/24/2008 2:40:05 PM

^ or make sure there aren't any overhead lights or anything nearby. I noticed similar stuff happening when my roommates' overhead lights were on. One was behind me and then one was in front of me, both seemed to screw around with it.

2/24/2008 2:44:07 PM

Sensor bar is on top, settings are correct. It worked perfect up until yesterday. Nothing changes in the room, it just randomly starts going nuts. At first I thought it was low on batteries but changing the battery pack didnt help.

2/24/2008 4:40:10 PM

2/25/2008 9:31:46 AM

lol

good stuff

2/25/2008 10:21:29 AM

Anyone have a set of the non hd composite cables they want to sell? PM me.

2/25/2008 5:03:24 PM

Mario Kart Wii to have text chat only, and it is only pre-determined phrases. Heaven forbid a child meet some pedophile in a wii chat room and tell their address

because that happens non stop on live

oh well

http://wii.ign.com/articles/855/855033p1.html

Also, just saw this

http://blogs.ign.com/Bethesda_Softworks/2008/02/27/82085/

Possible Wii killer? Can't hear the audio since I'm at work, but I did sneak a peak at the video. I couldn't find any actual reviews online about it yet, so I can't tell if it's BY Nintendo, or just being reported by the IGN Nintendo team (which is why I assume it's by Nintendo)

[Edited on February 28, 2008 at 8:46 AM. Reason : Killer]

2/28/2008 8:31:10 AM

Goddamn they can be some tools about online stuff.

2/28/2008 9:03:55 AM

you referring to the online text chat?

2/28/2008 9:18:09 AM

yeah, and friend codes, no voice chat, etc.

2/28/2008 9:57:42 AM

I agree

I think they are going way overboard with trying to protect children from online predators

2/28/2008 10:07:07 AM

set em up!
