Rambo Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I hadn't been to Nintendo.com in a while... but it looks like they changed it up quite a bit. It's nicer looking... but not as user friendly I find. Anyway, it seems like they completely did away with exclusive content for registering your games? Ftw? Not like that shit was ever very impressive, but I liked knowing that I got SOMETHING out of my troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Anyone see that rumor about Wiis attracting roaches? So... actual, crazy unknown thing, a complete misunderstanding (someone with a roach-infested apartment made a connection), or hidden Sony attack? Also, Nintendo's stocks have gone down. OH NOES! MY GOD! Sell your stock and all your Nintendo stuff now while it's still worth something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I wish the new gifting VC options applied to titles I already owned...as in, I'd like to give away my copy of Sin and Punishment to someone in exchange for basically anything else. If anyone finds a way to do that, let us know please. Unless it _does_ exist and I'm just incredibly stupid. In which case also let me know.

Then you could essentially share all your games with your friends and split the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 No, all accounts are that you spend Wii Points on a VC title, and then send it to someone on your Friend Code list. There's no "regifting" of titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no "regifting" of titles. Well I haven't seen the display screen, but thats why I'm assuming you can't send the ones you already own. I'm thinking it never gets loaded on your console at all? Yes? This is all I was trying to say. My apologies for being misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Nintendo/gamestop have made a program for the Wii-less. You can go to gamestop and reserve a Wii that you will get no later than Jan. 31st. Just thought I'd let you folks know. http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/12/nintendo-announ.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonium Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just bought a 2nd Wii remote controller and synced it with my Wii and started testing it out on the Wii's main interface but if I go to Wii settings and try to pick an option it won't let me. Is it because you can only do so with the player 1 (P1) remote or is there something screwed up with my (P2) remote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Yes, you have to configure your second wiimote to have administrator privileges. Create a new user account for the second wiimote, and change privilege to admin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drack Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Shikigami no Shiro 3 is an AWESOME shmup. I'm only just starting it and I can get to the 4-1 boss. I love bullet hell, and this is the first good shmup on a Nintendo system since .. ikaruga on gc? Also, Hyuga's shikigami attack (type A) rapes boss healthbars.

You can go to gamestop and reserve a Wii that you will get no later than Jan. 31st. Just thought I'd let you folks know.http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/12/nintendo-announ.html I just wanted to update this "Wii raincheck program" that megadave brought up with information from my boss at GameStop. All of this refers to just our GameStop in Ohio from what I know, so many other stores may be doing things differently. We are allotted 24 "rainchecks," that's it. Instead of being Thursday and Friday, we are only accepting orders on Friday the 21st, and we will probably hit 24 orders by 10 a.m., an hour after we open. All indications are that this will be some sort of disaster one way or another, mostly because of poor communication or lack of information. For instance, this article doesn't mention that there is a limit to the number of rainchecks, so many people will be out of luck, and they will be very mad at GameStop. Also, if every GameStop gets 24 Wiis each, he said that the total is only about 10,000 Wiis, which is clearly not enough to appease the masses. Needless to say, my manager is pretty upset at GameStop corporate over this whole thing. Yes, I know that most of their business practices are usually questionable to say the least, but this one seems to be more Nintendo's fault.

Airwalker Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 For our VC monday pleasure: Cybernator (SNES), Alien Storm (Sega Genesis), and Monster Lair (TurboGrafx16 CD-ROM). I dunno, I heard of Monster Lair--not sure much about it. But Nintendo, come on! Give us some blockbuster RPGs like Super Mario RPG, Earthbound, any Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, ect.

But Nintendo, come on! I found Cybernator at a Goodwill store about a month ago ($3), but I haven't played it yet. I suppose the fact that it was released on the Virtual Console means that at least someone enjoyed it? Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to hear that it's solid. Also, respect to EA for not being Nintendo. Er, at least in the area of online. I keep looking for a fun shooter on Wii, but CoD3 was not very good, Red Steel was an atrocity and MP3 is in a totally different category, really. So, should I be looking out for MoHH2? (wow, an actually useful post by atma. Ready yourself for the apocalypse.) :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Anyone remember Mission in Snowdriftland? It was a flash platformer that had a level for every day of December. After each stage you beat, you got downloads for different Nintendo games. Anyway, they aren't providing another flash based game this year, but I got this from their newsletter. "News from extra toxic! A lot of faithful fans have been waiting a whole year for the return of Chubby and his friends. But, unfortunately, Mission in Snowdriftland won’t be online this year due to organizational reasons. But there’s good news as well: extra toxic has been officially licensed for Nintendo Wii games development recently. We don’t want to reveal anything else at this point, but we’ll let you know as soon as there’s something new. The extra toxic team wishes you a wonderful Christmas time and a happy new year." If they can make a platformer that was as fun as MISDL, that'd be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadmus Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Sorry for the ignorance, but Nintendo's website isn't cooperating - does playing VC games require the Classic Controller, or can you just use a Gamecube controller? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
