Guest Shadix Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Or, you know, you could just download every rom and existence, buy a cheap video card a video out (many have them nowadays) and play it all on your TV. Throw in an Xbox 360 controller and you are set for a complete console experience without a million micro transactions. -- And omg... This topic is getting DW long.

Zonar Games Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 What's with you and all this "mature" business? Well its about time Nintendo gets more mature games like Far Cry and Red Steel...And I'm sure a lot of people think the same way. Or, you know, you could just download every rom and existence, buy a cheap video card a video out (many have them nowadays) and play it all on your TV. My computer sucks I can't play N64 roms. I keep trying but it's just slow. And I'll have to find an inexpensive but good video card. Alot of cards I see are like over $200 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraysor Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Nintendo really needs a more rounded catalogue. It lacks games from a number of genres, or at least, a decent selection of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyDoo Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yeah, people from other forums are now posting messages from their wii with the trial version of Opera. Seems pretty cool actually, the way you can type by point and click. How quickly can you 'type' with it? 20 wpm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowgoten Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 You can type pretty quickly, the thing has predictive text as well as the cell phone keypad typer that you can use, which makes typing pretty easy and quick.

BRPXQZME Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 RIT hasn't had a Wii-related-injury-free day since it came out. I personally witnessed many of these injuries. ...I will neither confirm nor deny my involvement in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSonic Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Got Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I love the game, but don't let the commercial fool you. You don't imitate the moves with the Wii controller to pull them off. It's just swinging and poking, like in Twilight Princess. I'm not sure if Nintendo will put Perfect Dark on VC. Dose'nt rare own Perfect Dark? I mean, I'm sure we'll get Donkey Kong 64, since it was Nintendo and Lord Miyamoto who originally created Donkey Kong, but I'm skeptical about Jet Force Gemini and Perfect Dark. Oh, and someone mentioned that Nintendo needs more games like FarCry and Red Steel? Did'nt those games kinda suck for the Wii. I'v not played them, but I'v read reviews and heard plenty of compaints. On a side note... I like the way Tony Taka draws. Anyone played Shining Tears for PS2? He did all the artwork for that game. I bought the stratagy guide just becauce of this. Nuff Said... Edit: Some interesting things about the new Smash Brothers too. Many of you may have seen this, but I think all the characters have new "super" attacks. Kirby cooks, Mario shoots a giant fireball, Link traps someone in a triforce and slices em up, and I think Wario farts. Something that I think would be neat would be weapons that you can ride on, like the Rino from DK, Samus's ship, Epona, and a Mario Kart. Just a thought.

wesker Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Not sure why Red Steel got such bad reviews, I know the graphics are subpar, but I had a blast with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I borrowed it from a friend and I really can't get into it. Anyone else scoop up toe Jam and earl today? God such a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSonic Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I can only get online at the college as of now, so I'm offline until early January. I'm still wondering if it was a mistake to download Golden Axe instead of Gunstar Heroes. My friend Tate is waiting for Rocket Knight Adventures and Dynamite Heady. Then he told me he'd stab me to death and take my Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRPXQZME Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Not sure why Red Steel got such bad reviews, I know the graphics are subpar, but I had a blast with it. Well, there are multiple things that seem off about it. The theme isn't all that interesting, there aren't enough things to do multiplayer-wise, and the control... doesn't seem so great. It's still fun as heck getting the headshot from all the way across the field (I play Wii in some other guy's room; he doesn't have component cables because those go to his 360 on his TV, so it's kind of blurry at that distance). I can only get online at the college as of now, so I'm offline until early January. I'm still wondering if it was a mistake to download Golden Axe instead of Gunstar Heroes. Yes. And Sparkster would rock so hard if I wasn't such an emu junkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheonix Gamma Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 So I just discovered that the Wii CAN use the WiFi USB adaptor I got last year...WHY OH WHY did I leave it in my dorm??? I'll have to bring it to my friend's how and try it out, maybe download some games. Speaking of games, aside from Zelda, what else is worth buying?

Slingerland Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Ice Hockey & Gunstar Heroes - that's it Street Fighter and Super Mario Bros. has been released, but they've lost their spark with me. Plus, I'm holding out for Super Mario All-Stars or Super Mario World (or the combination cartridge of the two). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Not to mention we've played about 60 different versions of SMB and Street Fighter. I remember the awesomeness of Ice Hocky. Hopefully Baseball will come back too (played that a lot) and perhaps Double Dribble. I vote Mischief Makers next N64 VC game. I can't emulate it on my laptop because it runs too fast, and I don't feel like hooking up my N64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I want me some Kirby: Super Star and Dream Land 3. Oh so bad. Super Star for the co-operative play and DL3 for the fact that I've never played it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I played the rom. Still have it. It's neat, but I just don't have as much fun with it as I do the other Kirby games. Something just doesn't feel right when I play it. Punch-Out. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. None of that Mr. Dream bull____. (Until then, my friends and I play WiiBoxing as Little Mac and Mike Tyson.) Star Fox 64. Not the old SNES one, though. Megaman 64 (aka Legends). I'm surprized 50 million Megamans aren't on VC. I wish Wii had Saturn games...

Super Star for the co-operative play and DL3 for the fact that I've never played it before. Slingerland you are awesome, I love the SNES kirby games so much >.<. I'm waiting for superstar and it damn well better be out by January. Anyways, Toe jam and earl is awesome, my brother and I managed to get 7 pieces of the ship before being mauled by the shadow walker dude. PG, they've already got Starfox 64 out in Japan's virtual console I believe..or at least they announced it already. So very soon we will have it.
