JoeFu Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I'll believe capcom here. They really haven't lied about anything RE related ( I think) so why start here? Anyways, light gun games are fun and I want to play one after going to the arcade in Super Paper Mario. SHOOT THE BOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Gotta question - if I have a GC game that supports progressive scan and I'm playing it on my Wii (with a component cable) will the progressive scan mode in the GC game enable automatically or what do I need to do? (I have progressive scan selected in the Wii settings but I don't know if it affects GC games. Also remember that playing on a Wii there's no GC intro screen to hold B during.) Anyone know? I've searched on google extensively and found no answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kureejii Lea Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I never played the PS2 version and only saw a friend play it a little bit so I dunno what changes there were in that besides more extras, but I know at least in the Gamecube version Leon couldn't suplex opponents. I'm pretty sure you could do that in the GC version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Anyone know? I've searched on google extensively and found no answer. Check the GameFAQ's Wii Hardware section, there's probably an FAQ that will know. http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/game/930752.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Wiis may be coming to a store near you. Well, a Best Buy anyway. My store has 21 "inbound allocated"(along with only 2 other stores in our district) which usually means they're coming pretty soon. There's nothing in next week's ad about it, but that doesn't mean we still won't be getting any in. So if you're still in the need of a Wii, I'd check your local Best Buy next week.

bouncerboy15 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 So I was checking out the gameplay vid and trailer (different one than on Capcom's site btw ) for RE4 Wii Edition on IGN and it looks like they added some stuff. I never played the PS2 version and only saw a friend play it a little bit so I dunno what changes there were in that besides more extras, but I know at least in the Gamecube version Leon couldn't suplex opponents. Also, when playing as Ada you can now perform a fan kick, which I don't remember being able to do in Assignment Ada (as well as use a hookshot). I also don't recall el gigante being able to charge at you before quite as it does in the video. It'll be interesting to see what other little differences there are in the Wii Edition. FYI, you can suplex in the GCN version of RE4. You probably just didn't attempt to try it out. And also, Ada is able to do a fan kick in Mercenaries. Gotta question - if I have a GC game that supports progressive scan and I'm playing it on my Wii (with a component cable) will the progressive scan mode in the GC game enable automatically or what do I need to do? (I have progressive scan selected in the Wii settings but I don't know if it affects GC games. Also remember that playing on a Wii there's no GC intro screen to hold B during.) Anyone know? I've searched on google extensively and found no answer. No, progressive scan will not be enabled automatically. When starting a GCN game with progressive scan mode available, a small dialog box should appear asking to enable progressive scan. If nothing shows up, try holding the B button to see if it'll show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penfold Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 FYI, you can suplex in the GCN version of RE4. Can you explain how's it's done in the Gamecube version? I'd really like to try it out (I also never saw the prompt in my 3 or 4 playthroughs, so I'm really curious what the trigger is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since I've played, but I think it only works on the zealot-type enemies. Just shoot em in the leg or something to get them to kneel and the prompt should come up.

Devyn Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hey guys, I just found a site selling Wii's cheap and I think it's kinda fishy . I haven't seen Wii prices this low as of yet, and I was wondering if any of you could inform me of this site's validity. http://etrofield.com/home.php By the way, I played Super Paper Mario for a few hours, and it kicks ass. I can't wait to get it. I've beaten the first two Paper Mario games, and this one still blew my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mutericator Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I wish they incorporated the Wii controls for Starfox 64 Yeah, you know that will come later on, for the Wii-centric one. After they finish their obligatory lineup of Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, and Smash, they should start working on the second lineup - Kirby, Star Fox, Mario Kart, Custom Robo, et cetera.

Bigfoot Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii will use the regular guitar(thank god). I don't know how they could have possibly used the wiimote for this. http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/780/780807p1.html The Wii will be able to have online play and downloadable songs too. Let's just hope they're mario songs or something so we won't have to pay $6 or whatever for song packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drack Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I wish they incorporated the Wii controls for Starfox 64 My friend wrote a GlovePIE script that does this.Allow me to explain what the hell I'm talking about. The computer program GlovePIE, combined with the ppjoy program, a bluetooth adapter, and some mad scripting skillz, allows you to use a wiimote, complete with nunchuck or classic, with your computer as a joystick .. great for emulators with the classic controller! Anyway, my friend wrote a script that uses the tilt and roll of the wiimote as an analog stick, and uses that with an N64 emulator + Starfox 64 to control it like the WarioWare: Smooth Moves Star Fox microgame. I wrote a script that maps the 2 sticks on the Classic to P1 and P2 sticks, for use with Perfect Dark w/ Halo-style controls (PD allows you to hold an N64 controller in each hand and use a stick from each). It's pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL I would consider to be the historic best one, but you're right, IntSys is pretty damn good themselves. I think Retro Studios, once they're done with Prime, might be able to come out with something damned good too - I'd like to see what kind of IP's they can come up with.
