  1. Japan doesn't have daylight savings time. So, it's Fall--we fall back an hour relative to Japan. So, while it would have been 2 AM usually (update time in my time zone), the clock will say 1 AM now, when it would really have been 2 AM just a week before.

    Am I wrong? These fall back, spring forward hour things always make my brain hurt.

  2. I see. So is there a brand you can recommend, or does Nintendo have their own SD cards as well?

    Just buy a cheap one off of Newegg. A 2 gig stick is the max the Wii can take I believe.

    Nintendo has an official brand, but it costs twice as much as a normal stick, and the only difference is that it is colored white.

  3. Everyone please say that at least once so Sakurai will, as he probably reads this site, make our dreams come true once more.

    I highly doubt they are spending this delay time to add extra characters--that was probably decided on a year ago. People blaming Sonic being added as the reason for the delay don't realize how at this point in development, games are mostly being polished. This isn't your 5th grade science fair project--they are not adding a ton of basic things they suddenly remembered.

  4. The best thing would be own a Wii cable that goes to VGA. But nothing like that exists, even from third parties. The Xbox is the only console that has cables like that.

    Oh, you may be able to forgo the female-female component adapter by getting a male-vga female-component cable. http://www.amazon.com/Female-Shield-Component-Adaptor-Computer/dp/B000I21Y9G

    It may help in the quality department with one less part.

    In any case, it all depends on the quality of the cables you get and whichever one is the weakest link.

  5. Who else can we fruitlessly hope to see?

    -Medusa (Kid Icarus)

    -Eggman (Sonic)

    -K.Rool (DKC)

    -Wart (SMB2)

    -Koopalings 7-way tagteam [using the "pokemon trainer" engine] (SMB3; and I just made myself sad)

    -Cranky Kong Assist Trophy

    -Malo (Zelda TP) [side-special: stare-down of doom]

    -Yeto (Zelda TP)

    -Odolwa (Zelda MM)

    -Sephiroth (Half-Baked)

    -Tails (Sonic)

    -Jesse and/or James (Pokemon; the new pichu)

    -Pacman (Pez-Dispenser)

    -Starwolf (Starfox) [actually, is this plausible?]

    -Tetris blocks (Tetris; the new Dr. Mario)

    -Nergal (Fire Emblem)

    -Shadow Mario (Mario Sunshine)

    -Tingle (Zelda MM; he was already in Melee too much...)

    -Captain Olimar (Pikmin)

    -Quickman (Megaman)

    -Vivian (Paper Mario TTYD)

    -Tatanga (SML)

    -That Werewolf Dude from Altered Beast (Altered Beast)

    Alright. I'm done.

    Geno (SMRPG!)

  6. Get the Wii Component Cables, http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-10z-49-en-70-1rch.html

    Connect that to a Female-Female component adapter

    http://www.pccables.com/cgi-bin/orders6.cgi?action=Showitem&id=ID3019390&partno=01782&search=COMPONENT&rsite=&rcode=

    Then attach it to a component-VGA adapter http://www.eforcity.com/pothvgargbx1.html?efprcnetatxt071015=POTHVGARGBX1

    And connect that to your monitor.

    And a set of speakers that connect to the Red-White speaker portion of the component cables. Or you can get this and plug it into a cheap pair of computer speakers. http://www.shopdit.com/Rca-3-5mm-Y-adapter-MM35Y.php

    I've never tried it, but those seem to be the right connections. Oh, and the best you'll ever get out of the Wii is 480p. I don't think you can really call that high-def.

  7. King Dedede pronounced:

    King Day-day-day. Emphasis on the first and last, so it's kind of like saying "Day to day" very quickly, with the 'to' being a middle 'duh' sound, i.e. DAYduhDAY.

    Hope that helps.

    edit: Just to clarify, this is my (slightly informed) opinion, and may be incorrect. Best results will occur when we hear the smash bros. announcer.

    I think we can all agree the only way to pronounce it is the Carlos Mencia way.

    Gosh, I hate that guy.

  8. I can't find Mercury Meltdown anywhere. Most stores haven't even heard of it and don't even have it on their list of games coming in. It's weird.

    Oh yeah. I went to a Wal-Mart two Gamestops before I found it at a second Gamestop. I was just passively looking for it over the week along with a couple of other things, so I didn't bother to ask anybody. Still, I found it at last.

  9. May I recommend Mercury Meltdown Revolution for those of you who need to put your Wii to Work before the onslaught of greatness floods us all. It's based off the PSP game, but it feels so natural with the wiimote. The graphics are kinda iffy, and it's a bit short, but great for the budget price of $19.99 and the game mechanics are fun.

    If it were $50, I would give it 3/5, but for the price point I give it a perfect 5!

  10. I haven't gotten mine yet. Imagine how many they are shipping out. It's probably going to take a pretty long while. Like $500 rebate long.

    Yay, I got my Wii-Mote covers today. It's rather nice, and it really does feel like it can hit my TV head-on and still allow my TV to survive. It's so squishy on the front.

    I feel a little bit bad for getting 4 covers but only having 2 wii-motes. Even if I plan to get 4 eventually, I heard they're coming with new wii-motes standard now. Well, at least I'll have spares.

  11. they really are going to fill the disc this time aren't they? Between music,movies, characters, this game is going to be crammed.

    Wii disks are capable of a dual-layer DVD, about 8.5 gigabytes, which is very close to the 360's capacity. But 360 games have to worry about HD-quality. Now, compare that to the Gamecube's old disks, which had a maximum capacity of 1.5 gigabytes.

    I think they can fill it and still have room.

  12. No, but I heard that Lucario of all things would be playable. Oh, rumourmill, whose hopes won't you crush?

    I've yet to really understand why people like Lucario so much. Maybe there's something in the new cartoons about it? In any case, he does look like a cool character to play as.

  13. lol, that has to be the worst (and fastest) photo-manipulation (or in this case, screenshot-manipulation) I've ever done =P

    I DO hope we get to change item frequencies something like that though... except with much more than 4 items on the screen at a time.

    I do give you props for alphabetizing the items. It had a little bit of authenticity to it. But I did think it strange to fill up so much space with 4 items per page, which would probably make tens and tens of pages in total.
