mikeszekely Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 The day that most Wii owners have been waiting for is finally here. Who's got their copy? Well, I picked mine up after the tournament. I haven't had a chance to play it yet, since I just got up a little bit ago, and I have to go to my parents'. Just waiting for the missus to get ready. Stupid DST. Oh, for those of you that were wondering, I got my butt kicked. There were only a few kids there; I guess they have bed times. There were a few normal people as well. Honestly, though, that tournament brought out some of the worst examples of humanity I've seen in awhile. These were people that, if they hadn't imported the Japanese version, gathered every scrap of Brawl information they could find on the net while playing Melee obsessively. They seemed genuinely shocked and offended at the suggestion that it's been years since I've played a Smash Bros game, and worse, that I'd brought a PSP and God of War to pass the time instead of a DS. Very few of them were familiar with the concept of hygiene; the stench from one person was so great that I let a few people jump the line in front of me to create a buffer.
UN Spacy Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Wow. I'm quite impressed by the single player mode. I'm about to head into online mode for a few matches. Mar (UN Spacy) 1547-4870-4265
Gaijin Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Problems with Brawl on your Wii? http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/repair/re...orm_us_ssbb.jsp Mine locks up with Brawl at random. Seems like my Wii is imitating my old 360 and PS1.
TheLoneWolf Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 WTF? The Wii can't read dual-layer games if the lens is dirty and only Nintendo can properly clean the lens? I call shenanigans on this one. Keeping in mind that the Wii is essentially an overclocked GameCube, it probably uses a very similiar lens as the GC. And since the GC didn't need to worry about reading dual-layer DVD's given it was designed to only read mini-DVD's, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo opted for a cheaper lens back then to keep costs down. Now that decision has come back to haunt them? That's the best guess I can come up with. What I still don't understand is why it's happening to some Wii's and not others. Good luck Gaijin.
mikeszekely Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I think the load times on Brawl are horrendous, but other than that I haven't had any issues. I finished Classic mode three times, and I did the first 10 Events, but mostly I've been playing the Subspace Emissary to unlock characters. I'm down to just Sonic, Wolf, Toon Link, and Jigglypuff.
Wes Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Well, I picked mine up after the tournament.

Didn't you remember the best way to beat a fanboy is to put a decently-attractive woman in the croud? You're married right you could have brought your wife and they'd be totally paralyzed.

You're married right you could have brought your wife and they'd be totally paralyzed. Aw man, I totally didn't think about that! She's not just hot, she's Asian hot! That would have killed them! And she goes to bed early most nights, but she even stayed up because it was the weekend. Of course, she didn't want to spend Saturday night at a Gamestop; she stayed home and played Puzzle Quest.
Wes Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Well this thread have been dead for awhile. Anyone else enjoying Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People? Damn Trogdor controls broken...
Hoptimus Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Not yet. I picked up the SNK Arcade Classics for the Wii. The games run 99% perfect(The PS2 version was a turd) and it supports Cube pads which means it supports my PS2 Hori Arcade Stick via GCN adapter! Weeeeeeee!

Huh? The Wii? ...oh, yeah, that white box that I haven't played since Mario Kart. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get back to it when the next Mario/Zelda/Metroid/insert-first-party-game-here comes out.

mikeszekely Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Considering how E3 went, you might be waiting a while. Actually, while Nintendo-published, the next Wii game I'm really looking forward to is technically a Tecmo game. Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse The original offered some top-notch chills (enough to make me buy the sequels, even though I've been too scared to play them). The Wiimote controls should be good for camera aiming.
cube Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 yea, with the wiimote, nintendo has the ability to make some pretty intense horror games...use it like a flashlight, like in the old silent hill games, but with more extreme lighting

One of my favorite series ever too. And apparently you even get Samus's Zero suit.
mikeszekely Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I might actually fire up my Wii sooner than I thought. I was at Toys R' Us hunting for Classics/Universe Galvatron and Onslaught, when I happend to check out the Clearance bin in the 'R Zone. I snagged Zack & Wiki for about $8.
Radd Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I'm actually really looking forward to the new Wii Sports that was announced with the Wii Motion Plus. Beyond that, I haven't been paying much attention to console games.
