Nintendo Wii (Channels and Games)

[Mikero]

Never had GG, always wanted one. Would be cool on VC.

[ASR]

Actually, it had some pretty good games that I would buy for the VC. Sonic Triple Trouble, for one.

[Johncarllos]

I played one at a friend's house for a few hours once, it got hot enough to actually burn my hand.

[ASR]

Very interesting and convincing "New Duck Hunt" video (major rumor)

[Vinchenz Rock]

I'm willing to bet that will be the first Wii Ware game to appear.

[ChaosVortex]

Looks like a demo, 'cause if it was the real deal, then that's a pretty awful lookin' game.

If indeed real, the logo makes me wonder if they're gonna remake a bunch of older games.

[Johncarllos]

I WANT EVERYBODY'S NINTENDO CHANNEL TO BE RELEASED.

[ASR]

Whusthat?

[Johncarllos]

Japan has it already, it has game videos and junk, as well as turning the Wii into a demo download station like the things at Gamestop.

I'll just sit there with my DS in front of my Wii and TV while playing every demo possible.

Something to actually use the Wii and DS in tandem.

[ASR]

Ooooh, cool.

[Johncarllos]

Exactly why I can't wait.

[ChaosVortex]

That sounds sexy. I tried the DS thing at Gamestop before buying ZXA. I was playing Ninja Gaiden.

It works like a combination of Phantom Hourglass and Brain Age. It was pretty fun.

I'm looking forward to this.

[Johncarllos]

On the Check Mii Out Channel, just now did I not ONLY make a level 9 Mii for the Father Time competition, I now have a "Masterful" eye for Miis by choosing a level 8, level 9, and a PINNACLE level Mii (Ranked 31st in the contest).

I'm a happy guy.
I'd have a better eye for Miis on average if I was more patient with the voting though.

This is my 4th or 5th Ninth level Mii.

Has anybody, or does anybody know anybody that has made a Top 50 Mii?

[Mikero]

Just posted 7753-0421-7847 on "Check Mii Out". Not amazing, just trying this thing out. If those numbers are even useable...

Was there some kind of Mii Channel update I'm not aware of? People are making crap that's wasn't even possible before.

[Johncarllos]

Everything made is using what's there.
Some stuff is just crazy though.
I'll favorite your Mii though.

I love the contests.

[Mikero]

Yeah I can tell now, except with the Geordie La Forge I downloaded, but I have to look closer at it.

Oh yeah, my Wii is back online now. EVERYONE SEND ME YOUR MIIs SO I CAN ADD A FACE TO YOUR ADDRESS!

[Vinchenz Rock]

I WILL WHEN/IF I PLAY MY WII ANYTIME SOON.

[Mikero]

Here's a fun new Mii that I made when I first got my Wii, it's Ms. Swan!

4947-9987-7138.

[ChaosVortex]

I don't bother with making Miis that much. They're alright, but the creator is too limited to me.

I was bored and made a Mike Tyson Mii a year ago. Yes. He is a Pro in Boxing.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Dude, your Mike Tyson sucks, I sent you a better one. I deleted the one you sent me. I deleted it a long time ago when I got it from Nova too.

[ChaosVortex]

Dude, your Mike Tyson sucks, I sent you a better one. I deleted the one you sent me. I deleted it a long time ago when I got it from Nova too.

Don't care, deleted the one you sent me.

Besides, it wasn't even yours.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Did I say it was mine? It was still better.
Do you even know what Mike Tyson looks like?

[ChaosVortex]

I created that Mii by looking at a picture of Mike Tyson, thanks.

Sending me that was a smack to my face, Sano.

[ASR]

fight fight fight fight fight!

[Mikero]

Right. So did anyone get the new NiGHTS? Any good?

[ASR]

I almost bought that, no joke. However, I decided I'd save my money a little longer. Ended up with No More Heroes instead.

From what I hear, it was more of a throwback to the old stuff anyway, with little to no new content. I've never played any NiGHTS games before anyway, though, so it would've been all new to me.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I heard NiGHTS is a love or hate thing.

Probably best to play if you haven't played the original.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

The only thing I know about NiGHTS is that when asked Miyamoto said he wished he had come up with the series.

[ASR]

'Kay, so I had some points leftover and I decided that 1080 Snowboarding was worth it.

That game was, like, the game when I was younger. I played that thing so much that I knew every map and code like the back of my hand. I never mastered the tricks, though.

Anyway, I was expecting to be disappointed, assuming it wouldn't age well (like MK64, which isn't nearly as fun as it used to be)... but this game has aged EXCELLENTLY. I have never felt a rush of nostalgia so huge before. I literally 100% forgot about this game until this Monday, and I just remembered how big a part of my childhood it was. Soooo much fun.

Rob Haywood for Brawl!

[Abominator]

I'll probably download it later tonight.

I only ever played it in a shop!

[ASR]

I remember I always used to use Ricky Winterborn for some reason, but I like Rob Haywood better.

Anyway, I never even knew a Gamecube sequel came out until recently. I should look into that.

[Mikero]

That game was, like, the game when I was younger.

Yeah man!

[Vinchenz Rock]

Rock Band confirmed for Wii.

Discuss.

[Mikero]

Don't need to click.

Good.

[Johncarllos]

This brings me joy.

[Abominator]

Don't care.

"Crazy Taxi confirmed for Wii" is what I want to see.

[ChaosVortex]

I didn't care for Crazy Taxi, but then again, I played the game just about as much as I did Pac-Man.

[Mikero]

I missed out on Crazy Taxi when it first came out and still haven't played it.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Don't care.

"Crazy Taxi confirmed for Wii" is what I want to see.

Dude, Crazy Taxi kicks ass. Any game that's fun to play and has an Offspring song in it kicks ass.

[NovaMan XP]

So, a couple days ago I bought Star Fox 64...

I like it. It's pretty damn fun, controls are easy to get used to, and the different paths... geez, it's gonna take a while to really play through all this game. Pretty damn good.

[Vinchenz Rock]

^It was worth every cent you payed for it. Believe it!

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, I must've been doing something wrong or wasn't really caring much, because I watch a friend play Star Fox on my Wii and it looked pretty fun the further he played.

[ASR]

Star Fox 64 was one of the gems I never owned yet ALWAYS went over my friend's house and played. I don't know why I never had the idea of borrowing it. I always had to play under his rules - switch off every death. He starts, and is really damn good, so I rarely get a chance.

BUT NOW I HAVE IT ON VC

[Abominator]

I also have it, although under it's smelly Euro-name "Lylat Wars"

...MING.

[Mikero]

Are #####ing serious? Ming doesn't even begin to describe that name. I'm not even going to try. It's just so ming it's...


I should have bought SF64 back in the day. I probably won't VC it though, I just want Ocarina of Time.

[ASR]

I never VC'd Ocarina of Time for some reason. At least with Super Mario 64 my reason was the DS version.

[Mikero]

If you have the DS version why would you get the VC version? There is absolutely no point.

[NovaMan XP]

Yeah. I decided not to get SM64 because of that reason.

I mean, what's the point? The DS version is portable and has more characters to play as... and Mini-games.

[Mikero]

It was better JUST by being portable, and then all the other goodness.

[ChaosVortex]

I don't wanna buy the DS version, but I don't want to download the game either. Same with OoT. I've already played them to death, since they're great games.

I just want to try games I haven't touched or would like to touch again, like the Donkey Kong Country games.
