atmuh Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 What's this about a new update killing my Wii's ability to play MP3 files off an SD card? Destructoid has a post about it.I have a tiny little 256 MB card, and I've never used it for playing music on my Wii... but still... having the option is nice. nintendo thinks that aac is better and they for some reason are KILLING mp3 support to support aac which is weird i dont see why they need to stop the console from supporting one filetype to enable another Quote
Power Surge Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I'm worried that if I update my Wii (via the letter I just got) it will replace my photo channel with the newer version and then I wouldn't be able to play mp3s anymore. I've used that channel to play music off my 2GB card on occasion in the past (when friends come over, for example, and my laptop gives shitty sound compared to my TV); I wouldn't want to end up popping in Excite Truck to play mp3s from now on. Will I still have the option? Quote
Bigfoot Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I'll be honest, I've never used my Wii to play music. This probably applies for a lot of people, so it's not a big deal. Quote
The Author Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 It's an optional update that allows mac users to listen to AACs/M4As instead of MP3s. Why they didn't just ADD the functionality instead of replacing it is baffling. Unless they want itune on the Wii. Quote
Drack Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 The MP3 format has some dumb licensing attached that Nintendo doesn't want to pay the fees for. Quote
The Author Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Well, that's pretty fucking retarded. I was sure MP3 players didn't have to pay for the license, only MP3 encoders... Quote
Devyn Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 No hard drive, keep friend codes, false release dates, millions of dollars on useless wiimote jackets, and now this. Are Nintendo clueless or just insane? Quote

Devyn Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Yeah, I want to play brawl with Shael. I need to post my friend code on Drack's database. Maybe I'll do that tonight. Quote
Drack Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Yeah, OCR friend codes and wii numbers go here: http://ocr.anticlan.net/ Quote
dsx100 Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 So is the general mindset right now that Soulcalibur Legends sucks? I really want to try it out but at the same time I hear nothing but negative things about it. Quote
Smoke39 Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I'm worried that if I update my Wii (via the letter I just got) it will replace my photo channel with the newer version and then I wouldn't be able to play mp3s anymore.

Will I still have the option? The Wii system update does not automatically update the photo channel. You still have to nab the photo channel update from the shop channel to break your MP3 compatibility. Quote
Rambo Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 So... I'm such a Nintendo fanboy consumer whore... that I'm seriously considering getting the Wii zapper (which looks cool, but a terrible waste of money) just so I can get the Link's Crossbow Training that comes with it. Anyone played this? Or general thoughts on the Zapper? Quote
Neo Samus Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 For $20 with Link's Crossbow Training. It's a steal. Quote
Rambo Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 For $20 with Link's Crossbow Training. It's a steal. See this is what I was thinking, but everyone told me I'm crazy. So thank you. The crossbow training looks pretty cool. And this brings me back to the gerudo valley target test. I just hope its not a game that can be beaten in its entirety in 10 minutes. And maybe if it's a REALLY great game... it'll tell me I'm good if I get 100% on a level. Got to love those personal rewards. Quote
Kenobio Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 From what I've heard Link's Crossbow Training is pretty fun for as long as it lasts, which is only a few hours. Also, some say the game is actually a lot easier and far less frustrating without the zapper peripheral, but I have yet to try it out myself so that's not my own opinion. But yeah, only twenty bucks, right? For me personally I'd rather just wait until a friend picks it up to give it a whirl. Edit: Also, the zapper itself seems pretty gimicky and would probably just collect dust after a while. Quote
Neo Samus Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Personally I think the Zapper is very fun to use. The only downside is just wrapping the Nunchuk in the Zapper compartment. It's not hard, its just time consuming. Quote
Kenobio Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 That's cool, it's good to hear some people are enjoying it. Haven't really kept up with it, but aside from that new Resident Evil game are there many other games coming out soon where the zapper might play a factor in the gameplay? If there are I might look into getting one, though I have very low expectations for that Resident Evil. Quote
WesPip Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Let's rub our Wiis together:5167 5984 9793 5071 Teehee. I'll add you next time I'm on my Wii. Shael for Wii Judge '08! Quote
I-n-j-i-n Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Apparently the Zapper is a sort of a flop in some circles. The button placement was all wrong from conception anyway. And the funny part is that many reviews apparently say the normal wiimote is more accurate and wieldy than the gun. I didn't think they would struggle with a gun adapter. I'm worrying about how the steering wheel could turn out. Quote
atmuh Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 there have been some steering wheels but none have been anywhere near as accurate and simple as holding the remote sideways stop giving us useless pieces of plastic Quote
Majin GeoDooD Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams shipped. Comes out in Japan on Dec 13th, USA on Dec 18th.Support for it has been added to the ClanOCR database. Thanks to a leak I'm playing it already. The music is fantastic, the game is fun, I have no complaints so far though I've only played one mission so far. The database is lacking GHIII and I think that should be rectified. Quote
Ray Falling Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 A new RPG type game is announced for Wii: http://wii.ign.com/articles/841/841103p1.html Seems pretty cool, if not a bit typical "hardcore" There's a PS2 version of it as well and it's made by Atlus. Any thoughts? There's a trailer in there as well. Quote
