[eidairaman1]

the only one of those worth mentioning is s4.


i'm not talking about piracy or anything like that, i'm talking about modifying a console to run unsigned code. hundreds, maybe thousands of websites cover the hacking and modification of consoles dating back to the nes, maybe even before(coleco mods anyone?). there is nothing wrong with modifying consoles for yourself or for someone else for free. as much as the manufacturers don't like it, they can't do anything if there's no exchange of money for modified hardware.
besides, don't use words like "try." the wii has been hacked so far the you can install homebrew by putting a file on your sd card and running that file on the wii. BOOM, you've got the homebrew channel in your wii system menu and you can run all your homebrew from there. it's easy, fun, and hey, free games!

Nintendo Banned Homebrew channel, And I already know about that, I got that along with Gecko OS so i could play the Import version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Now I really want to pick up the US version due to the Online Play and content available, Also I cant understand Kanji, Katakana, or Hirigana

i don't see how, i'm on the latest firmware and hbc still works, as well as nintendo online...

[eidairaman1]

Each Rendition of the Firmware Nintendo Releases, they remove the Homebrew. The other point being when the firmware came out initially back in 2007 it was bricking Wii's which Nintendo would not cover if found to have Homebrew installed

That's not banning. That's absolutely normal in the custom firmware world. Ask anyone with a jailbroken iPhone, Touch or iPad.

Mine still has homebrew channel on it, and I'm up to date and have full functionality as well. Hell, even if they did ban, it's worth it to me to have all of my emulators. Banning is when you can't use your account or services at all, not when you have to go back and forth with custom firmwares.

Has anyone played Metroid: Other M? I can get it for 30 bucks and I want to know if its worth it.

For a while i didn't even know it came out lol.

From what i have seen from the reviews the game is pretty good, but i haven't tried it yet.

[KieranD]

Metroid Other M switches between viewpoints its kinda strange. Team Ninja worked on it.

[FordGT90Concept]

It shipped today so I'll know what it's like in about two weeks. :(

[JrRacinFan]

Take your time collecting items in Metroid Other M. That's all i have to say. Played through it, 8 hrs worth but an awesome storyline.

Yes, just take your time with it. Meaning if you see an item take your time trying to collect it.

Double post to break apart topics.

http://www.pokemonaus.com/?p=2055
Just the other day Nintendo held a press conference regarding the 3DS. In the same conference they DID confirm that a new wiimote is coming out that has the motion plus built in, whilst still being the same size as the normal mote.

This annoys me since I only just bought my wii... :(

Honestly, the periferals thing for the Wii has been horrible. every year there is a new addon that has jack all games that support it.

[HookeyStreet]

Yep. I can remember online play being terrible on the Wii anyway :( So the loss of internet connection on it is not a big deal :)

[morpha]

I honestly dont have any issue with Nintendo's online play.

Brawl allows you to play with anyone, Same with MH tri. Unfortunetly Brawl doesnt support voice, whereas MH tri does.

Friend codes are somewhat tedious, but are required if you marketing your console as CHILD FRIENDLY. What parents wants some random jerk-off sending crap to their kid or sending porn.

It was a while back when I tried to play the Wii online. The game was Mario Soccer and the lag made it impossible to play :(

[Wile E]

I don't think online play is really it's market anyway. it's more for group multiplayer.

True.

[morpha]

I've been playing Monster Hunter Tri... well worth the $95(au) spent on it. Thats a damn good MMORPG.

I've clocked up 107 hours already. and maybe 1/3rd of the way into the game.

Considering how much play time this game gets Im not so worried about the SLOW release of titles.

Is Monster Hunter Tri a monthly subscription?

[morpha]

There is no connection cost to play. Just buy the game.

There are only US AND EU servers. However the game seemed to have incredible network code, lag/ping/latency has never been an issue for me.

Characters are not stored online and are inter-changeable between online/offline play at will. Both modes are designed to AID each other in order to create the full game experience.

No health bars on monsters, huge learning curve. This game is all about player skill. Monsters have behaviors and personalities, not just by race but also for each monster. You have to learn by observation and practice.

voice chat and USB keyboard support.

low resolution can sometimes make text hard to read.

limitation of 4 players per server is annoying.

split screen multiplayer offline aswell.

This is not a game of numbers. It is largely about making cool sets of armor and crazy weapons that make a buster sword look plain and boring. It is about learning to hunt giant monsters with a team of people. If your into min-maxing... go play something else.

[morpha]

Has anyone here played the remake of 007 Golden Eye?

[Wile E]

It's out already? And do you have to use the Wiimote? I'd rather use the classic controller.

[morpha]

Out for 2-3 weeks now. Its bundled with the classic pro in GOLD. Its listed in the top 5 games for the wii on Nintendo Channel and I've heard good things from customers at my work place. But I have yet to play it.

I think I mentioned previous that I got a classic pro with Monster Hunter Tri and as far as im concerned all wii games should support that wonderful thing.
If a game supports the classic pro I tend to use it. No More Heroes 2 is the only one didnt feel right with the controller (that ive played so far).

[Wile E]

Hmmm, I may have to pick it up. I still need to grab the new DKC as well.

[morpha]

DKC was fully awesome and fully aggravating. Been a while since I threw a tantrum at a game, they are just so easy these days.

I hired it from a video store and will be buying it for myself soon...

Mussels was also impressed.
i just played donkey kong on a wii at 480p on a 1080p sony 46"... we noticed no scaling or blur issues either. hell we couldnt even see jaggies, looked really damn good for a wii game.

[FordGT90Concept]

I really didn't care for DKCR. Yes, it looks good but it just isn't true to Donkey Kong Country or Donkey Kong for that matter. Rare being bought out by Microsoft effectively ended the Donkey Kong franchise.

The fact the enemies aren't based largely around crocadiles, King K. Rool isn't present, and DKC, gameplay wise (exploreable overworld, funky's boats, mini-games for coins, minigames for banana birds, etc.) DKCR falls short of Donkey Kong Country 3. The fact it is missing Daisy, Granny, Funky, and Swanky Kong is extremely disappointing. Add to it the fact that DKC games had the best music scores around; the only noteable music scores in DKCR are those recycled from DKC (jungle and factory themes). They also made some levels ridiculously hard (like mine cart ones because you only get one life instead of two--Diddy doesn't matter) and others extremely frustrating (by not having enough checkpoints--especially the Kong levels). Oh, and if you play with the Wii Remotes sideways, you're going to get serious hand/wrist fatigue from holding 1 down all the time.

It's okay, but certainly not a "must have." If you got $40 to blow, buy a Classic Controller or two (if you want multiplayer) and get DKC 1, 2, and 3 on Virtual Console. They are a far better buy.

[Wile E]

I already have 1, 2 and 3 on my homebrew channel emu.

And character and music carry overs don't concern me, only gameplay. Can I use a classic controller on it? If the answer is yes, and it's fun to play, that's all I care.

[morpha]

I found the wiimote and nunchuck fine with DKCR. The difficulty as mentioned did annoy me. Unfortunetly you can't use the classic pro on it. Rather it wants you to hold the wiimote sideways and hold it like a controller... which is about as comfortable as the original NES controller. That is to say, not comfortable.

I dont know how true it is to the originals since when I was a kid I had a SEGA mega drive instead of a SNES. If the music was repetative I didnt notice cause I was too busy trying not to die. There were little minigames hidden around levels... infact the level design and overworld are basically exactly the same as NEW SUPER MARIO BRO's WII come to think of it. Except Kong can climb walls... and the levels LOOKED cooler.

I never pay full price for a game, Ill wait months untill the price drops if I have too... theres a massive backcatalogue of games I can play in the mean time.

[FordGT90Concept]

No, just Wii Remote sideways or Wii Remote + Nunchuck.

What I was getting at is that gameplay is hugely different from the first 3 namely because you get two lives per character instead of one life per character. But at the same time, they made certain parts of it substantially harder so you'll need those lives, and then some. The problem is, most of the hazards in the game are world kills--that is, something in the environment kills you like falling down a hole. Those are insta-kills as they were in DKC but you'll find they happen far more often. Because of that, the extra lives really don't matter except in the 8 boss battles.

There's also only one controlable animal: the Rhino and there are absolutely no underwater levels. Also, there's only five items to buy in the game: ballons (lives), Squawks (passively points out puzzle peices), extra life (adds one more heart on to health), invincibility potion (gives you 10 hits before they start hitting your health), and key (one per map, opens an alternative path).

Because virtually the entire game is all the same, there really isn't any replay value.


I found the wiimote and nunchuck fine with DKCR.
I switched between them. I often found myself using it sideways when I have to do quick, precise movements and nunchuck when my wrist started hurting.

If the music was repetative I didnt notice cause I was too busy trying not to die.
EXACTLY! It's bland--completely unnoticibly except for the golden tunes from the originals.


There were little minigames hidden around levels...
And they all suck. Basically all you do is collect bananas, banana coins, and occassional a life baloon. Your reward if you get them all: a puzzle peice. All the minigames are the same except they put blast barrels on some, rotating barrels on others, and moving platforms on some. Several are reused at least half a dozen times with the only difference being the scenery (which you probably won't notice anyway). The minigames in DKC2 and 3 had a lot of variety and they were work completing because they awarded unique coins which were required to finish the final-final boss.


infact the level design and overworld are basically exactly the same as NEW SUPER MARIO BRO's WII come to think of it. Except Kong can climb walls... and the levels LOOKED cooler.
I'd say it's like DKC (the original) but more primitive. On DKC, you could see Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong moving from location to location; on DKCR, it's just a glowing button.

[JrRacinFan]

@GT90 & Wile E

Found DKCR to be worth a rent. Not a buy. Personally, rented it on a 5 day lease. It got played for the first 2 days by me, wife played it for most of the time we had it, & returned a day early because she found it started to bore her.

[morpha]

just hired out 007 Golden Eye - so far its quite frustrating with the classic controller pro. the AI use cover A LOT so you need to be a crack shot with the controller which is something I am not.

So I decided to switch to the Wiimote+nunchuck inside a hand-cannon I got with House of the Dead (plastic gun essentially). I also managed to find an auto-aim setting and turn it on.

I was just getting into it when the damn thing crashed! complete system stop.

I will now go back to the controller with auto-aim and see how that goes. but if crashing is a regular for this game I wont be pleased. The wii DOES have a patching system though I think it only supports downloaded titles

I didn't rent it (probably should have) but it was a similar situation here. I could only stand playing it maybe 6 hours a day and I just couldn't take it anymore. It definitely isn't a game that sucks you in. Come to think of it, it really doesn't even have a story/plot. Well it does, but the entire thing could be summed up in two sentences.


I was just getting into it when the damn thing crashed! complete system stop.
Console overheating? Is it in a place where there is good airflow? That's the first thing to try. I put a Nyco Intercooler (sucks air out, tool free installation on the rear of the console) on mine. Loud as hell, but my console is now room-temp to the touch.

[Lionheart]

Is the Wii worth getting?

[morpha]

Is the Wii worth getting?

no. Get a ps3 instead.

[morpha]

The Wii has never before frozen anytime with anygame. Nor did it ever have heating issues when it was stored inside a cabinet and I played Monster Hunter Tri online for 16hours straight.

Currently the Wii is sitting in the middle of the loungeroom floor with perfect airflow.

A quick google shows that many people are having issues with the online mode freezing. No references to the single player though. It looks as if it isnt likely to get patched either. BLACKOPS got one to fix a few bugs though...

ill have another go at it again and see what happens.

[Mussels]

Is the Wii worth getting?

the wii has its place, especially for party games, or gaming with casual gamers.

[Paulieg]

no. Get a ps3 instead.

That's too simple of an answer. The Wii has a different niche than a PS3 and Xbox360. It's meant more for family and casual gaming. So for me it;s the best choice. My kids and wife love it, especially the Wii Fit stuff. We've spent many evenings having a great time on the Wii. If I want to do any serious gaming, I go directly to PC.

[morpha]

The Ps3 is a pretty awesome media server and playback capabilities + Bluray + 3d. The Wii can't even play DVD's. It has a lineup of family friendly Nintendo~esque titles, Not as many as the Wii, but there are so many on the wii people have taken to calling them 'ShovelWare'.
The Ps3 has more hardcore games than the wii. Wii has a few, like the metroid games but nowhere near as many.


Dont get me wrong I love my wii, And I love a few of the more imaginative titles released on it. But even with my Nintendo Fanboyishness I can admit that in the current lineup of consoles PS3 is the best choice.

Nintendo has always set out for a different market then Sony or Microsoft, Nintendo's key franchises have always been able to capture both the hardcore and casual markets which is something both Sony and Microsoft usually don't try to do, they separate gamers into those two different camps (hardcore and casual) which isn't a bad really. The Wii is definitely crippled in the media department, but of course that's how Nintendo planned the system out to be, as the large majority buying the Wii aren't going to be concerned about HD media playback and 3D, as opposed to the PS3 and 360 where it's pretty much advertised as a sort of mini set top box/HTPC.

I haven't touched my Consoles in a while but i do own all three, and i play the PS3 the most due to the it having the majority of games i like on it, though i don't use the majority of it's features overall.

[Wile E]

I have all the consoles as well, and find myself playing the ps3 the most. I also use it as a network media player and BD player a lot.

I primarily use my Wii as an emulator. lol.

varies on the game. the new donkey kong looks good, red steel 2 looks like a toned down borderlands.


basically it depends on how good the TV scales, as well as what game you play.

[TheMailMan78]

Anyone got the new DK?

[Wile E]

Hey, welcome back. lol

And Ford and couple others were discussing it a page back.

I'm looking to grab the Goldeneye remake personally.

[morpha]

once I figured out how to turn on the auto-aim functions GoldenEye was a lot more fun. I use classic controller personally. I dislike the wii zapper.

I love some of the tricks that the developers have used in the game to make it look good without needing huge processing power. The scene in the night club was good with that.

[TheMailMan78]

Well I am really digging DK. Its a lot of damn fun and a LOT less frustrating then Super Mario Wii.

[JrRacinFan]

Wow! Having a hard time beleiving you don't like NSMB. Another one you need to play through if you like DKCR, Super Mario Galaxy, 1 and/or 2.

Like I said a few posts back, I didn't like DKCR too much, but then again. I only played through the first level.

Oh and I have Mario Galaxy 1. Loved that damn game. I never got 2 because well....it looked identical to 1 lol

SMG2 is a touch different actually. NSMB is a totally different game when multiplayer is involved, totally agree with you on that aspect. I think you unlock songs in career then you can choose them in quickplay mode.

[stevednmc]

O can I paleezz be added to the list? lol

[Reefer86]

you can throw me on the list as i got the missus one for christmas.

the new black one ;)

[morpha]

I was just thinking that my friend list is VERY short. How about we post our friend codes so we can play a few games together.

Actually I was wondering WHY they werent listed on the OP.

Ill start:
Wii Console: 5064-0631-1033-4146
Mario Kart: 2021-6514-0974
Super Smash Bros: 0002-9114-8812
Pokemon Battle Revolution: 3782-6271-9988
Monster Hunter Tri: name:Morpha ID: XHHVAN

P.S. I got a Wii Remote Plus cheap at a Boxing Day Sale. Surprisingly in Red Steel 2 its better than a mote using a dongle. My theory is that there's a bottleneck on that connection on the wiimotes. It was never designed to have two devices attached.

[Mussels]

because i'm lazy, and never used a single friend code on my wii so i have no idea how to even use them

[morpha]

because i'm lazy, and never used a single friend code on my wii so i have no idea how to even use them

Both parties must add the friend code into the appropriate games.
At the very least Tabulate the list of people on the front page and add a collumn for the consoles FC's.

Atleast then we can messageboard the other codes...

[stevednmc]

I my self have never used the friend codes either. never even played online with it.






edit: thanks for the add!

[morpha]

Seriously? I myself have dropped 50hours+ into the online play of Monster Hunter Tri.
And casually played MarioKart and Smash Bro's Online.

Its become a habit to ritualistically check Nintendo Channel every day.

[stevednmc]

Well me and my girl and her kid have been obsessed with new super mario bros, we have 3 games goin!. Plus she does all the fit stuff as well. Just not enough time in the day, from work, fixin other ppls pc's building my own, the several games we have goin on the ps3, its just nuts!!!

[morpha]

well despite everyone saying the Wii is done. It outsold both other consoles AGAIN.

For the 5th year running since eits release the Nintendo Wii has outsold the other current gen consoles during the December sales (the busiest time of year).

Welcome man! You're gonna love it! If you like old school gameplay may I suggest Donkey Kong. Also any of the "Galaxy" titles. Awesome! Oh and MARIO KART! Let me know what your friend code is also.

JrRacinFan is going to talk me through the softMod so I can play emulators, I would love to play some Ocarina of time!

[brandonwh64]

Thanks to Jr, I have a nice modded WII

THANKS!

[JrRacinFan]

May come acrossed as a silly question; Can i do Gamecube saves to the Wii's internal memory? If not, is there any homebrew available that would allow such a thing?

[digibucc]

no you need a GC mem card, i think you also need a GC controller (wii-mote will not work i know)

Well crap. Guess I need to go back to Gamestop today .....

Finally got my hands on a controller and here I won't be able to save my game. Piss!

EDIT:

Will any one do? 3rd party ok? Do you have any?

as long as it fits and works, it'll work ;)

there is a homebrew app called GCMM, (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/GCMM)
but there is no way around needing a memory card. all that allows you to do is backup/restore saves so that if it fails or does not have enough space you can manage the memory.

it's a hardware thing, like backwards compatible ps3s - GC mode can only load from the GC port, even modded from all i can find.

Thats what I needed. Thank you, helps a bunch so i could get as small as a 251 block and be ok.:D

[brandonwh64]

WOW I will download this as well. its it a WAD?

[digibucc]

i don't see that(haven't used it), but it says:
If you already have the (homebrew) channel installed, just copy over the apps folder included in the archive into the root of your SD card.

[JrRacinFan]

It's an app. As digi depicted, you just launch it from HBC, same way like most homebrew.

Think I may have something to correct that gamecube issue.something called UNEEK could even use Triiforce.

EDIT

This would be a NAND emulation which would allow saving to an SD card.

Nevermind, that wouldn't work.
