Official Nintendo Wii thread

[synch]

It's poorly worded either way, it implies the strap breaks causing the wiimote to slip from their hands. That's physically impossible. That's like saying you drop your tennis racket because your sweatband breaks.

That would make more sense if the sweatband was attached to the racket.

But hey-ho.

[Pres Zount]

Well I'm such a rebel I don't even use the strap all the time. :cool:

[synch]

:cool:

I don't use sweatbands.

Or tennis rackets.

[Pres Zount]

I think tennis is boring.(y)

[synch]

Virtua Tennis is fun though, especially when playing with four players.

I don't use sweatbands then either.

I do wear a tiny white skirt though.

[Pres Zount]

That goes without saying.

I love wii tennis, I love diving throught the air flailing my arms.

[synch]

I want to flail :(

[Pres Zount]

And flail you shall :mad:(y)

[avignon]

He is NOT a FLAILURE! :mad:

[na§tee]

guys, this is what you need (http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo/the-unbreakable-wii-strap-handcuffs-221685.php) for your wii-straps. punk rock! (y)

[Pres Zount]

I don't want to get handcuffed to my wii stick.

EDIT: again.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

When you say Metroid comes out in "fall"... are you talking about november 2007? :(

Yes, I do unfortunately. It was supposed to be a launch title here in the states, which had me quite stoked, but it was pushed back to the ungodly far away date of "Fall 2007". But I have a hunch Retro will make the wait worth it...word is they are adding some WiiConnect24 functionality.

I've noticed my controller speaker crapping out from time to time also. From what I've read, this is a common problem. I think it stems from Nintendo using the cheapest possible speakers they could find, to cut down on costs. It makes sense, really. The remotes have internal memory (albeit a sparse 4k), rumble, all the tilt gizmos, and that speaker. No wonder they're $40. No excuse, still. But I at least see Nintendo's reasoning.

90% of all the problems you hear about concerning Wii Remotes flying out of peoples hands stem from dumb cunt children not using the wrist strap. I have no sympathy, I mean, it plainly states to wear the damn thing. The media just latched on to it and ran....then blew it way out of proportion....like they do everything else.

[icy manipulator]

woohoo i think i may be the first person to break a wii remote. i won in boxing and smashed it in the ceiling fan in my victory. left a nice gash on my middle finger too

[The Notorious LOL]

you fuckers best send me your wii numbers or whatever the fuck cuz I should have one by tomorrow morning provided I dont die between now and then.

[Pres Zount]

cool!

Turn the volume down. ehe :o .

My Wii number is: 86-75-30-9.



Click. (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/specialArt.cfm?artid=12561)

[na§tee]

that is not a wii number :mad:

i sent cosmo and steger hitler today :cool:

[The Notorious LOL]

hitler?


I guess I dont understand this wii number bidness anyway. Is it sorta like xbox live where its an id and you can communicate with each other via the wii and send msgs and lol?

[na§tee]

yes, hitler. the one and only. i LOL-ed at the message "Send Cosmo Hitler?" an enormous amount (i still have youse marked as cosmo as it wouldn't allow me an extra-long cosmoandsteger4everomg or anything like that, grr!)

you have the right idea with the wii numbers. we only have to register each other once and that's it. jackrock's isn't a wii number because a real wii number is 16 digitz.

[jackrock]

jackrock's isn't a wii number because a real wii number is 16 digitz.
It's a song! I thought you caught onto that?

[The Notorious LOL]

well I wont be jackrocks video game friend then :mad:

Haha.

Read the entire segment then get back to us.

When I said that I was talking about the puzzle part.

Click on fun and games to play the secret nintendo puzzles
No, not really. What it was saying is that there is a way to get a higher amount of puzzle pieces than what is displayed.

[Pres Zount]

The memory card holder is the worst tip by far.

Did you know you can store your wii games and/or SD cards on the floor, or in your TV cabinet?!

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

So Nastee, how about them celebrity Mii's?

[Waus]

I'm frustrated with my friend's wii sports. In the tennis game I feel like half the time it's paying attention to how I swing, and the other half it feels like it just swings however it wants as long as I move the remote.

:confused:

[The Notorious LOL]

I got there at 5 and was number 20...I missed #18 by like two spots. I also checked two targets, k mart, toys r us, and two gamestops.

some asshole at one Best Buy got his ticket, turned around, and said "TICKET FOR SALE FOR $200!" and someone bought it. Shit like that really pisses me off.


I got the controller though since I was there and they got em...one less thing to buy when they're available.

[The Notorious LOL]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickets

[The Notorious LOL]

limited supply. I guess it ensures there are no stampedes

[na§tee]

i, like, super feel for LOL :( it just seems everytime he makes a massive effort with this he just get slapped in the face with a big, flacid cock. or some other metaphor.
oh man. /hugz.

in other news, i REALLY NEED MY FLATMATE TO COME HOME NOW so he can show me what to do in this here water temple! ARSE.

[Pres Zount]

Does anyone find that this incarnation of Zelda is easier than Ocarina of time? Way easier, in fact? I'm up to the water temple too, and I only started three seconds ago.

EDIT: Raping; yes.

[hitmonlee]

i got to play the bowling

very realistic, i suck at video game bowling just as much as real life bowling, good job nintendo (y)

[icy manipulator]

i got over wii sports after sticking my hand in the ceiling fan after winning in boxing. Rayman is a ton of fun tho

[na§tee]

pres; w-w-w-what?! you're wii-online!?!!! TELL ME THIS IS TRUE! you can be my, uh.. THIRD friend!

i don't think it is particularly easy. i don't know. i never played OoT (shock, i know - i was a SEGA girl back in the day) until i got the zelda collector's edition disk with all the zeldas on it.

that bit with the horse and carriage on fire - FUCK - that was hard, come on! i almost had a heart-attack doing that shit.

[synch]

i was a SEGA girl back in the day
Dreamcast 4 life!

:(

[Pres Zount]

I bought a router. so I could connect my laptop and do it on the toilet, too. But I'm thinking I need one more expensive piece of hardware before I can.

I get error 20961 something messages when I try to connect to wii shoping, but I'm going to try to change which port thingie it uses.


Ocarina of time was harder than this one, I find. I'll take back that I said this one was easy, but compared to Ocarina, I think it is. The dungeons' seem more straightforward.

[na§tee]

UH OH I'M IN TROUBLE!

[Pres Zount]

Please post spoiler warnings in front of things that could release secrets of games to those who would prefer not to know.

EDIT: Yeah, trouble starts here.

Yay! I'm useful!

Some forums have spoiler tags installed, this one probably hasn't.

See? :(

[na§tee]

it was only a piece of heart. he loves me really for it. i seriously have got like a bazillion pieces of heart. not really, but still.

in other news, i've got 11 poe's souls already! i rule at seeing those motherfuckers at a distance and in secret caves. y'all can't hide.

[jackrock]

fift tempul is harde.

Nastee, what did you say earlier that you shouldn't have? I like secrets!


OH, this (http://www.crumbl.com/wii) is a good news site.

[Pres Zount]

She told me where all the heart containers were in the entire game and also how to beat to beat all the bosses at once.

[na§tee]

i did. it's true. sorry. :(

on another note - i still haven't got to go proper fishing yet! i go there, and end up getting super distracted by seeing those poe's soul thingies or what not.

[synch]

Yeah it was like this secret dance you do while holding the wiimote and nunchucks.

It involves lots of twirling and a pink tutu.

(polka dot optional)

[na§tee]

it was tribal, i'll give you that!

synch, when are you going to get a wii and join us?

[synch]

Spoke to a mate who works at an hmv'ish store and he told me to call him tomorrow, he'll know when and how many Wii's he'll have coming in.

Very reluctant to downgrade from WPA to WEP though :(

Ah well, I'll cave eventually ;)

Im trying one more time on the 22nd at Toys R Us :mad:

[na§tee]

i've added you, G.I. joe. did you add me?

[Miho]

I've been gradually playing Zelda: Twilight Princess. I'm about to go to the second temple. I can't help but sense this creepy feeling whenever I'm roaming about in the Twilight dimension as a wolf. It's the music that gives it that mood, I think.

I have to get back to Red Steel too. I got pretty far when I first started it, but left off at this automobile body shop level, where I was outmatched. Excite Truck is fun. My brother unlocked a new truck while he was trying Wii out for the first time, heh.

Why does nintendo think it is sunny in hobart, when the rest of the state is under the cover of darkness?

EDIT: I totally thought the guy in the video was going to select Tasmania as his state OMG! There is another!

[na§tee]

oooh, i can't wait to see this!

it would be cool if we could place our friend's miis where they live irl so we can see what's up down their way!

[Jitters]

I want to get broadband now but I have to wait till January until my area gets it :( :( :(

So are the channels well designed?

[na§tee]

yeah, i guess. i'm assuming a whooollleeee lot more are in development seeing as there's space for a shitload.

p.s. has anyone realised that my avatar is a zelda fairy yet? iz true!

Do you have susan and I?

p.s. has anyone realised that my avatar is a zelda fairy yet? iz true!Like, a million years ago.



EDIT: Cosmo, I already sent STEGER our number. But he is lazy.

haven't checked it yet but will asadpapapppppppp.

MESSAGE! I SENTED YOU A MESSAGE! WITH A FOTOGRAPHHHH!

[cosmo105]

ah. i'll make sure he behaves tonight.

[na§tee]

i play with the MJ cosmo and steger sent me all the time. jacko's a right tennis ace!

pres, you have to select your miis to send. not just put them on "mingle". with, um, the "send mii" option on the right or whatever. aint got yours yet!

[Pres Zount]

how about now?

I've got cosmo and boomin, too.

[na§tee]

i got mii pres! wooh!

it's 5.50 AM here and my flatmate has been partying with his band and his record label in the living room since 3AM so i have defiantly got up, dressed, made a cup of tea and, uh, looked aggressive since 5 minutes ago. my alarm goes at 7 so fuckit. so angry and tired. i could hear them all come in and be like "OMG YOU HAVE A WII!" and i was just like "scott. come here. no fucking way are they touching that shit the state they're in! STEP AWAY FROM THE WII! STEP. AWAY."

ugh.

/yawn.

[na§tee]

you see, i think the wii remotes would actually be quite hardy if chucked sporadically into a random object, not that i would like to test this fact. it's the television it would likely ram into that i'm worried about most. my fucking tv, too. my laptop. my router. my ipod dock that he's already broken. my technological gadgety empire that everyone takes advantage of and doesn't respect.

EMPIRE, i tell you. empire.

[Pres Zount]

Haha. He was so eager that he punched it? I would love to see that.

"FRIEND SMASH!"

[Pres Zount]

That's pretty much all of my friends bar two.

[na§tee]

my flatmate isn't talking to me because he's angry at me being angry at him for being loud and inconsiderate. :( people were still there when i left for work! :mad:

he was super drunk, but i just wanted to wake him up to wish him a merry christmas before i go (going to airport straight from work) and he didn't even give me a chance! he was all like "BYE. bye. bye." BAH. HUMBUG. HORMONEZ!

[Documad]

I still only played with it the one time. :( I was really looking forward to taking it out on Christmas Eve but now I have to work that day too.

I'm so fucking sick of working all the time.

[Pres Zount]

Here's something to cheer you up, nastee! *SPOILER ALERT*
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v74/Vincered/?action=view&current=100_0172.flv
Okay, so that's not that great, but... actually, I got nothing.

Documad, just be glad that you are an adult, and as such you may kick any children off of the wii and have a go yourself on christmas day.

[Documad]

No children problem. Sad thing is that no one has been playing it at all. I knew that I was going to be working round the clock in December but I had hoped to be home for Christmas.

Maybe New Years weekend. :)

[Pres Zount]

Do you work all day and all night? You are not even getting christmas day off?

LOLZ no, that's fantastic! that really did cheer me up! i love how you filmed opening it for the first time, haha! and diving off onto your skull on the bridge, lololololol. the only thing that disappoints me is the lack of "CRIKEY!" audio. hahahaha!

(y) thanks! :)

Unfortunatley my camera doesn't have sound. Also, tasmanians don't say "crikey". We say "golly". Ask susan. But the look on links face when he picks up that heart was identical to mine, I must admit.

The headline "thousands of ps3s and wiis" is a bit misleading methinks. I gather it means thousands for the entire chain. So maybe about five or ten for each store.

[Documad]

Do you work all day and all night? You are not even getting christmas day off?

Pretty much how it goes this month. I'm only up now because I'm in a shitty hotel and I couldn't sleep. :o Hopefully I finish my trial today and can drive home tomorrow. I was supposed to have Christmas off, but I have an appellate brief due the day after Christmas and I can't start writing it till Christmas Eve. The asshole attorney on the other side served his brief early on purpose to do it to me.

I had lots of fun vacations earlier in the year I guess it evens out.

Sorry to complain in the wii thread -- get back to business.

[Pres Zount]

Oh well. I suppose everyone can't have christmas off. Too bad.

[jackrock]

Nastee you have a DS right? I'm saving up for one and I was wondering how the internets work on it-- browser and game.

[na§tee]

what no crikey goodness in tasmania? :( man, we say golly in england, i don't want any of that pish! hah. my camera takes audio but it saves it as an *.avi and i'll be damned if photobucket doesn't like it. or youtube. i don't know what to do!

jackrock, yup, i have a DS.

for online browsing you just have to buy opera which is about £15 i believe. less than a game. see! (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-DS-Lite-Browser/dp/B000IH89W6/sr=8-2/qid=1166701446/ref=pd_ka_2/026-9903984-1803648?ie=UTF8&s=videogames) that's it. one off. connect wirelessly. (p.s. dinnae panic, as i've said a billion times before the browser is free for wii when it arrives!)

to play games online you just have to connect wirelessly. that's it. absolutely free.

i tells ya, online tetris and mario kart is unlimited fun and you get to shout at japanese people for kicking your ass all the time! i hear metroid prime is good, too, but i'm not into that whole shooting people shit :(

[jackrock]

I knew the browser would be cheaper, thats cool. But do you like it? Do you use it much?

And wait, you can talk to people while playing? through the mic? Am I reading this right?

The Wii browser is free until around june.

[Pres Zount]

Has she sent you pictures of her boobs? She promised me pictures of her boobs, although I could only reciprocate in the equivalent values of scrotum.

[Pres Zount]

Well I've got all I need here, so she needn't send me any if she really doesn't want to. and no, I have yet to recieve afformentioned boobs.

I'm not sending her pics of me nuts 'cause she's got plenty of flatmates I hear, and anyone of them could open up the message. one of them has the damn thing near his bed for chrissake.

[Lex Diamonds]

"Ooh a message, what could it be? I'll just open it and se--OH MY GOD AUSTRALIAN BALLS! :eek:"

[na§tee]

hahaha what a delightful teatime treat!

kid, you don't have a wii yet so i cannae ponder on the possibility of you receiving boobage pictures. it's null and void.

pres has a girlfriend. i believe she has breasts.

then again, i suppose you have a wife, and she has breasts too.

um.

i don't have any nuts though, but i'd prefer we'd leave balls out of nintendo's online playground. i'd prefer something more masculine, like stubble. bellybuttons. ankle hair. that sort of thing. (um, not that i have any of those things.. apart from a bellybutton. but a feminine one, of course!)

[Kid Presentable]

*Retracts Scrotal Promisary Intention*

[Pres Zount]

but i'd prefer we'd leave balls out of nintendo's online playground.
Priceless.

hey nastee you want me to send you pictures of the hair on my back? Do you... like that sort of thing? I don't know if I feel confortable knowing that wiiconnect24 is ALWAYS on anymore.

[na§tee]

Do you... like that sort of thing?
l0lz at the creepy "do you.. eat little children?" tone that this has of it is fantastic and is creating much laughoutloudage indeed.

back hair - oh, that would be great! i'd prefer the ankle hair though, seriously. or inner thigh. you know, i'm not a fussy woman. here in glasgow we don't discriminate. golly!

i mean, i sent you a picture of my currently-gurning flatmate scott attacking our freezer. you can't really top that. I CHALLENGE THEE!

i do seriously want a picture though. work it.

saying that, i didn't pack the wii for the flight today as i was too scared of scott's wrath and also too scared of breaking it accidentally in the hand luggage, so it's at home. i won't be back til next friday to check my pictures of scrotums. make sure there's a christmas present there waiting to come home to!

[jackrock]

I would like scrotums on my Wii too please.

[Pres Zount]

I've sent an embarrasing picture already. I can't wait till your flatmates are creeped out! No body hair though. Will get to work on it. Check.

Jackrock, ask and thee shall receive.

i got zorra and zount! hell yeah! i'm going to pit them against hitler and jacko in a tennis free-for-all!


p.s. who else is using the walkthrough for zelda? i have to turn to it every now and then when i get stuck. :o

[jackrock]

I'm ashamed to admit it. Where are you?

Also, I think I figured something out. When the Wii is off, and you press a button on the remote, the blue lights flash. The number of lights that flash resembles that amount of battery power. i.e. 2 lights flash, half batter power. All by myself!

[cosmo105]

i'm at snowpeak right now, climbing the mountain. you?

[jackrock]

Snowpeak also, in the ruins.

EDIT: I just finished it, I am still shaking, whoa.

[Jitters]

who else is using the walkthrough for zelda? i have to turn to it every now and then when i get stuck. :o

Whenever I play certain games, like Zelda, I never use a strategy guide, especially if I get stuck. I like that feeling of accomplishment when I finally finish the game.

I haven't had a chance to play Zelda today but I finished the Snowruins temple yesterday, I need to hurry up and get farther ahead so I can spoil things for you Jackrock :D

[cosmo105]

that temple took forever. the miniboss was harder than the boss, i say.

[Pres Zount]

I've just finished the water temple and susan is in the desert somewhere.

I never get a go :( But at least I'm not using a walkthrough. That chess game thing against those two tron guys in the sacred grove took me about four hours.

[Kid Presentable]

I always thought it was cosmo who said most people will use cheats or a guide, and just never admit it. I liked that theory. (y)

[cosmo105]

i don't turn to it until i'm completely frustrated and about to stand on the couch and jump up and down yelling at it.

[Jitters]

That chess game thing against those two tron guys in the sacred grove took me about four hours.

I remember that, it wasn't that bad for me. I got through with it pretty quickly.

The puzzle where you had to put a block in the middle of the frozen ground in the Snowpeak Ruins though...............let's just say it took me a while :(

[zorra_chiflada]

yeah, joe doesn't do walkthroughs, he just asks me!

[Kid Presentable]

i don't turn to it until i'm completely frustrated and about to stand on the couch and jump up and down yelling at it.
I'm always embarassed by how mad I get at games, but other people must get angry. I curse out every game at some point.

[Pres Zount]

yeah, joe doesn't do walkthroughs, he just asks me!
hey! I so do not.

As far as getting mad at games goes, I don't understand it. It's rarely the games fault. I suppose I should be more forgiving of susan yelling her fucks and shits at the tv.

[Pres Zount]

Pokemon battle revolution, but only if your willing to move to Japan.

If your on your Wii, this (http://peekvid.com/) may be interesting and this (http://gonintendo.com/?p=10872)

Actually, I've read several places that "Spring" statement applies to the states also. Battalion Wars 2 looks to be one of the first online titles.

Excellent links mang....

i got a wii!!!!! wee!!!! wii!!!! my name is pii!!!!

[Documad]

I played Zelda for three hours yesterday. It took me way too long to catch the fish. :( I was ready to throw in the towel.

I finally got to use the sword though.

I'm a total spaz, and I'm very slow, but I will still be enjoying this when you all are done with it. :p

Oh, and congratulations pii. :)

[Pres Zount]

Right. It can't run on an ethernet cable, so I bought a D-link wireless router (for $100 :(, but I can also use it for my laptop). The wii has all the wireless technology buit into it, so I just plugged the bastard in between my computer and the ADSL modem and it seems to work, wich is lucky for me. You can also wait a month or so and buy a nintendo adaptor that will allow it to run on a cable, but it would be for around the same price as a router, or you can track down a nintendo wifi USB connector that plugs into your compter and gives you instant wireless (but only for the wii or a DS). I tried to find one and couldn't, but I live in tas, so...

I don't know of any room requirements. I have about 2 metres from the TV to the couch, and four metres to the wireless router - no problems for me.

Im biting the bullet and buying one off of ebay for over retail cuz Im impatient :mad:

[beastieangel01]

I got to play at a friends house and oh my nuts it ruled.

I played mostly tennis and golf. The most hilarious one though is just the practice area, dodging for boxing. We were all busting up and crying in laughter once the balls started flying faster and hitting us in the face (ha). We weren't even drunk yet.

The Wii is good times.

What do you guys want to see on Virtual Console?

On the SNES side, I'd love to see a good concentration of Japan-only games being translated over to all other regions, such as the Fire Emblem games. For N64, I can only think of two I really want to play -- Hybrid Heaven and Mischief Makers.

The Legend Of Zelda: The Adventures Of Link, Balloon Fight, Ice Climber, Kid Icarus, Metroid, The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past, Earthbound, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, etc.

[Miho]

I own some of those on GBA already, but for those that missed out on the GBA ports, they're definitely great choices to release. Earthbound (Mother 2) and the original Mother should appear on VC, rightfully. Too bad Mother 3 couldn't be translated to VC, since it's a GBA game.

[Jitters]

They already got a few good games on the VC but I can't die happy until I play Super Mario RPG. I loved to play that when I was a kid.... one of my top three for sure (y)

[Miho]

As much as I love Super Mario RPG, the one time I seriously played through it, I got stuck at this one boss who kicked my party's ass, and that's putting it lightly. I couldn't believe it either, as the game was meant to be an RPG for beginners. I was put to shame.

I'd like to play it again on VC. Maybe I could show that boss a thing or two on a second playthrough. On another note, game series like Ys and SaGa would be awesome on VC. Oh, and Blaster Master!

[Pres Zount]

What have I done (or not done) now?

[jackrock]

The new Nintendo Wii: Fun entertainment system? Or stone cold killer?

My brother's friend was having a wii sports party, and it was his uncles turn to bowl. He swung the remote properly, but unfortunatly he hit the dog. On the head. Cracking his skull.

:(

Poor poochie woochie.

[Mr. Boomin'Granny]

You, or someone that was using your wii, sent me a message with nothing in it.

Susan nearly hit me in the face when we were playing tennis, and I've hit my hand on the roof a few times when playing the fool whilst bowling.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

My friend Tim now has a piece of my ceiling in his Wii Remote (in that space where it comes together). My ceiling's are low, and he jumped too high while playing Wii Sports Tennis. Dork.

[zorra_chiflada]

i'm up to the sky city boss in zelda, and by golly it's hard. the first time in the game where i've actually really fucking struggled. i'm almost at the point of giving up. can anyone give me some tips or something?
ps, i'm really bad at aiming with the wii remote because my hands shake GODDAMIT WHY IS LIFE SO UNFAIR.

[cosmo105]

the boss on that dungeon was hard. the whole dungeon was hard. but yo, fuck the temple of twilight.

[befsquire]

i have no idea where noelle is in the zelda game, but she was pissed as a motherfucker at her brother today. apparently she got to a really hard part, which he normally is able to help her through. here's how it went today.

noelle: (demanding tone) josh, come help me with this part.
josh: no. i already tried and i'm not sure what to do.
noelle: just come try again. now.
josh: no.
noelle: fine. just let me die a million times in a row then.
josh: that was my plan.

i love my kids. they make me laugh so hard i cry.

[Jitters]

I got stuck at this one boss who kicked my party's ass, and that's putting it lightly. I couldn't believe it either, as the game was meant to be an RPG for beginners. I was put to shame.

It was probably the secret boss Culex, unless you were leveled up really high you would get creamed everytime.

I didn't know it when I posted earlier in the thread but Nintendo is putting this on the VC in early 2007. I got a points card on Ebay for really cheap, now I just need the VC controller and a friggin highspeed connection so I can start downloading the games.

[Bob]

i have a question, i don't have time to read

is there any chance that anyone's played both the gamecube and wii versions of the new zelda game? how do they compare? i've been thinking about getting a wii, but the more i think about it, the more i realize that i really only want it for zelda, i can't name any other games on the system that i want to get. red steel doesn't look very fun. smash brothers would be cool, but i really don't have anyone to play it with these days (all of my friends are law students and none of them are into games) and that series is really only fun for its multiplayer. and that's it, really. so i'm thinking of just buying a gamecube (used, maybe) and just getting that.

i really love zelda, i'd buy a system just to play it. i found my old n64 this week, and played about 8 straight hours of ocarina of time. those n64 controllers are REALLY tough on your thumbs, but i developed a callous around hour 6 and it stopped hurting

[ToucanSpam]

The Temple of Time in TP is unbelievably frustrating; I had to quit and play Wii Sports for a while.

Really? I thought it was incredibly easy! But this City in the Sky is tough.

What part are you stuck at?

[ToucanSpam]

Initially, it was getting the Dominion Rod. But I think I'll be okay-- I've cracked and I'm using my friend's strategy guide.

[jackrock]

The mini boss is so fucking cool.

[ToucanSpam]

Previously featured in Ocarina of Time, believe it or not; just in a more primative manner.


I personally enjoy the Ball and Chain. I'm terrified of the Cuckoos though.

[befsquire]

ok, belly and i are stuck and we need help. unfortunately, i'm not quite sure where we are.

she's a wolf right now, and we've tracked these kids down to a village that looks abandoned due to the shadow monsters, i guess. we lit the candles in the house they're in and went into the cellar and came out in a graveyard. belly then got some thing that holds light, and now we have gone up to death mountain, and this is the part we're stuck at.

there are 4 of those shadow monsters, but one gets put in this electronic fence area, and we can't figure out how to kill them all because she kills one, then kills two at once, but then we can't get into the thing to kill the 4th, and she said she has to have two to kill at the same time by having them inside the circle, and it's just a bad scene right now because she can't kill them and i don't like being the wolf and don't know how to kill them because i missed that part of the learning process.

Read this (http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3155983) review on both versions of Zelda Twilight Princess. It compares and contrasts the Wii and GCN versions.

And really, Bob, you should re-consider the Wii -- while yes, at the moment, the games selection is not looking good, it will pick up in 2007. Much like the PS3. Developers are being cautious about making any hasty announcements this console generation.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

at the moment, the games selection is not looking good, it will pick up in 2007.

One could easily argue that the Wii had the best launch lineup for any home console....so I'd have to disagree.

But you are right about '07. Some heavy hitters be coming, son.

sweet, that sounds like exactly what i'm looking for

i'm drunk right now, but i'll read it in time

truth is, i probably shouldn't get a next gen at all, i'm supposed to be very very busy, i probably will be, but i dunno, i can still entertain fantasies

i do love me some zelda though. playing OOT this week brought back some happy memories

get them all together and hold down B and you can z-target them all at once.

this is jess btw. :cool:

[jackrock]

Or if one of them is apart from the other three, she can kill the one thats alone, then kill the other 3 at once. But the thing is, you can't leave just one alive, he will bring the others back. Two at a time might work too.

[befsquire]

but we can't get all 4 of them together because the one is in the area that's blocked, all by itself, and it won't come close enough to get in the z ring, and if you move too close, you hit the unseen fence and it breaks the z ring. :(

jess, i assume you did all 4 at once? and, plz check yo PMs.

[na§tee]

bef, you have to kill them in such a way that you don't leave one standing. if one is left, it will bring the others alllliiivvvee! the thing to do where you are is kill the one in the enclosure bit on its own, and then try and B-kill (like jess said) all the other ones together, or one than 2. just not so that one is left on its own, if ya know what i mean.

bob, the wii controls and its sheer intuition mean that the wii version compared to the GC one is a must-have, according to all the blogs/reviews i've read. people say they can't imagine going back to the way it was.

[Pres Zount]

I seem to recall that it only appears that one of the monsters is in a seperate area. Look around the edges of the wall he is behind and you might find a way in. Kill him first and then kill the other two at the same time. Kill, kill, kill.

bob, the wii controls and its sheer intuition mean that the wii version compared to the GC one is a must-have, according to all the blogs/reviews i've read. people say they can't imagine going back to the way it was.
You're just saying that, because you want another person to chalk onto the side of your wii as having been tricked into buying one!

[ToucanSpam]

Why won't anyone talk Wii Sports with me?:(

[befsquire]

belly and i are still stuck, so we're waiting for josh to get back here so that he can kill them and we can move on.

it's gonna suck waiting a whole week for belly to come back with it, and she'll probably be too far through the game (she got it for xmas, so she doesn't have that many hours in).

[zorra_chiflada]

yeah, there should be a way to get to the separated one, like a small area where you can get through - it's like a maze. just keep looking. then kill one more. it's harder to kill three at a time than it is to kill two.

[Jitters]

I JUST finished Twilight Princess and I have to say it sure was amazing.

It didn't have the same effect of awe since Ocarina of Time came first but games don't get much better than this.

I was dissapointed that I couldn't save when it was over but the ending was really good and the final fight was almost as good as Ocarina's but not quite.

If anyone buys the Wii and doesn't get TP I feel sorry for them.

[Miho]

One could easily argue that the Wii had the best launch lineup for any home console....so I'd have to disagree.

But you are right about '07. Some heavy hitters be coming, son.

I didn't enjoy it very much. If you took away Zelda Twilight Princess, which was a different version to the GameCube game, then you'd have a rather lackluster launch. It's all by preference, though. Then you look at the rest of the line-up, and the only other ones that stood out were Excite Truck, Red Steel, Rayman Raving Rabids, and perhaps Trauma: Second Opinion.

Another thing, to clarify, what I'm referring to about 2007 -- unannounced games will materialize in the form of announcements, screen shots, and video. Right now, all we're being hyped about are Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which by no means are sleepers, but still, I'd like to be assured from Nintendo that there is much more to come.

This isn't just Wii. Same goes for PlayStation 3. Even Xbox 360 to an extent, despite being around longer. So I'm not bashing Wii exclusively. This isn't to say people shouldn't be exciting themselves for Wii. It's an awesome, lovely console, to have a blast on. I'm just playing devil's advocate. I like doing that.

Edit: Ah, forgot to add -- some of my favorite launches were the Nintendo 64 and Sega Dreamcast, especially the latter. The fun factor was so high. When Soul Calibur first launched for the Dreamcast, it was addictive as hell. The gameplay and controls were smooth, and the graphics looked impressive. I haven't played Soul Calibur 2 & 3, but the original was well-done. Then, you know, Nintendo 64 had the legendary Super Mario 64. Playing that for the first time was surreal. On the other hand, the Nintendo 64 launch had few games available at launch, but what made that one special was the jump from 2D to 3D.
Why won't anyone talk Wii Sports with me?

Baseball and golf rock. For the latter, the game, not playing the sport in real life. :P How do you like Wii Sports?

[synch]

One could easily argue that the Wii had the best launch lineup for any home console....so I'd have to disagree.
I don't see it to be honest.

Not that it's going to stop me from getting one... but I don't see how the Wii line-up is impressive, especially taking away Zelda.

edit: Ugh, still haven't learned to read all posts in a thread before posting.

[Mr. Boomin'Granny]

THIS JUST IN:

COSMO JUST BEAT TWILIGHT PRINCESS.

[cosmo105]

*cries*

[Bob]

alright i read the review, and it sounds like the differences are pretty insubstantial, i think i'm just gonna buy a gamecube (found one for $50 used!) and get the GC version. the biggest thing seems to be the controls, everybody's gushing about how well the game plays on the wii, but i haven't played the wii, so i won't know what i'm missing. i've always loved the way the zelda games controlled on a traditional controller, z targeting and all that, so i'm honestly not too worried about it.

the GC version doesn't support widescreen, but neither does my TV, so i don't care! i can't wait to play it, i haven't been excited about a video game in a long damn time.

[Documad]

Bob -- good call. You shouldn't be playing videogames till summer anyhow.

[Miho]

i think i'm just gonna buy a gamecube (found one for $50 used!)

That's bananas. $50 for a used Zelda Twilight Princess, on the GameCube even. The reason for this is because Nintendo deliberately made few units of the GameCube version, so the Wii version could overshadow it. I remember reading about how Nintendo was going to make it online-exclusive to buy, but I wasn't sure if that was true. I'll bet you could find used games of Zelda Twilight Princess at GameStop/EB.

[Bob]

actually i turned out to be lying, i guess i was looking at something else. still, gamecubes aren't too expensive. i bought a copy of TP from amazon, but i had to buy it through an individual seller, $65 new. should be well worth it though. i remember back in the SNES days, spending $75 on mario RPG (well, my dad spent the money, i was too young to have that kind of dough).

[Miho]

Yeah, I remember those days. Brand-new games came at a huge chunk of change. I regret not being older during the SNES era, so I could afford those expensive SNES games. I think, my family bought me Mega Man X2 and EarthBound. About it. Some SNES games were more than the current generation games. Let's be thankful those days are past us.

It could be that because video games have become more popular, that prices have gone down slightly. Considering there is more of a demand for them. Moreso for the US, since Japan was doing alright in the 1990s.

[Pres Zount]

I think the sega mega drive my parents bought my sister and I cost about what I paid for the wii. But back then you could get an automobile for fifty pounds and Bubsy for tuppence.

I saw gamecube windwaker in a store a few days ago for $AU50, and I totaly was going to get it. I went in today and all they have left is Xtreme bass fishing 7 and Finding nemo. I'm still waiting for the prepaid online points things to come in, too. I really need to download Gunstar heroes... and fast!

I'm up to bespin in zelda. I'm catching up to susan, but I wasted about seven hours trying to catch the hylian loach without a special lure. I swear I saw it. Serious. It ate the bass I had hooked and then it got away. But maybe I had been fishing for too long.

[zorra_chiflada]

i'm glad i've got you to start calling it bespin too.

[jackrock]

If I'm assuming correctly, I'm almost done Bespin too.

[zorra_chiflada]

joe thinks sky city also is like flying battery zone in sonic.

oh snap DON'T RUIN IT LIKE YOU DO WITH CSI

ahhhhh i gotta stop reading this thread now

[synch]

I really need to download Gunstar heroes... and fast!I can hook you up with the mega drive/genesis rom if you want.

[Pres Zount]

I want to play it 2 player sitting on my couch with friends. Not huddled around the computer using the keyboard. Thanks anyway.

I know nintendo are being a tad expensive with their VC games, but I feel Gunstar Heroes is worth it.

[synch]

Fair enough. My pc is hooked up to my tv and I have a device that allows me to use psx and ps2 pads on my pc :)

And I play it on my psp ;)

[jackrock]

At 48 hours and 20 minutes, I finished Zelda. I started shaking as soon as it was over. hehe. The music alone makes it worthy of BEST GAME EVERR!

[Pres Zount]

how many hearts did you finish it with?

[Kid Presentable]

I want to play it 2 player sitting on my couch with friends. Not huddled around the computer using the keyboard. Thanks anyway.

I know nintendo are being a tad expensive with their VC games, but I feel Gunstar Heroes is worth it.
Is that the one with all the cool bosses? The same company that made Dynamite Heady? If so, awesome stuff. (y)

[jackrock]

how many hearts did you finish it with?
I'm going to say 14.

I think when I get bored with other games, while waiting for the next Wii Zelda, I will re-play it and go in more depth.

I think Twilight Princess will ruin other games for me, at least at the moment. My standards for games are through the roof.

[ggirlballa]

*hands you some sort of trophy?*


well at least you did something with your winter break, i on the other hand didn't do shiiit

[cosmo105]

i think i had around 60 hours (i played around a lot) and 16 hearts. damnit, i was just on level 46 of the cave of ordeals and i forgot to refill my hearts in time and now i have to start it all the fuck over again. :mad:

[ToucanSpam]

60 hours? Holy fuck.


Then again it is the first play through...my god I love second play throughs.

[zorra_chiflada]

yeah, i'm already well above 60 hours. I WIN

[ToucanSpam]

60 is a lot but this is the longest Zelda game to date...I bet on the second play through, it'll be about 35.

[Documad]

I wonder if I will finish Zelda in 2007. :p

[zorra_chiflada]

i'm up to the twilight temple, the getting of the second sol



sol lol

[jackrock]

Did my advice help?

[zorra_chiflada]

yes it did thankyou

[befsquire]

yeah, there should be a way to get to the separated one, like a small area where you can get through - it's like a maze. just keep looking. then kill one more. it's harder to kill three at a time than it is to kill two.
damn you! why couldn't you have seen my post at like 3pm? josh finally got back and around that time, i was all "hey, why don't you go to the edge of that fenced in area and... hey, is that an opening? holy crap, why didn't i think of that before? go in there and kill it!"

i think at one point, when i was demanding that noelle kill them instead of giving up and switching to bowling, i said "i'm your mother and i told you to go kill stuff so go do it!"

[Pres Zount]

And that`s why it sucks to have me on ignore.

I just finished zelda in 49 hrs, with 17.5 hearts.
And seven levels of ROLLGOAL!

[befsquire]

i don't have anyone on ignore.

[jackrock]

Did you curl up and cry during the end credits? I sure did. Oh oh, did you watch all of the credits? ;)

jackrock; of course I watched all the credits! I didn't cry but I did curl up and die. This is my ghost typing this.

[na§tee]

well done all you zelda-completers! i'm dragging the process out as long as i can. also, i have to share the tv (and zelda) with two other people who are currently at home 24/7 while i'm at work.

i'm meant to be on my way to the sky temple now. how many more temples are left, exactly? i need to know. i'm doing some side-quest thingies before i head up there. my flatmate is forever like "OMG there are like a billion statues to move and things to blow up and BLAHBLAHBLAH" so here i go..

and is it just me, or have the last three temples (all the ones since the, i think.. ice temple) been sorta.. easier than the first? or am i just finding my groove? i dunno. the hardest thing thus far was totally the burning horse carriage thing. jesus christ!

[Pres Zount]

*SPOILER ALERT*














There is a part coming up where you have to escort TWO burning carriages, they are filled with all the villiage children. If one of them catches on fire for even a few seconds you have to start all over again. It's pretty hard, it took me about four hours.

I think there is about ... three temples left. Maybe.

[na§tee]

TWO CARRIAGES? HOLY FUCK.

:(

[Pres Zount]

I'm sorry, I was totally kidding. :((y)

[na§tee]

you.. were? :confused:

you are totally telling the truth! i betcha. you're giving me a new year's ribbing!

[Pres Zount]

No, no; I was kidding. I promise. All the children die when Ganon comes and burns down the villiage. So you only have to transport their charred, lifeless remains back to their parents, and they all fit in one bottle.

[na§tee]

fabulous! (y)

[Pres Zount]

The eldest one goes mad from the ordeal, and Link must put her to the sword to stop her constant gibbering. You use your lantern oil to burn her body and make it look like she died in the fire.

[na§tee]

rape? is there any rape?

[Pres Zount]

Let's just say that link gives the children back their fishing rod.

[na§tee]

LOL @ fishing rod above and MASSIVE FISH on my wii.

my flatmates are totally like "pft we have wwwaaaayyy bigger fish but we're not going to send them to you because you'll suffer from fish/penis envy".

genius.

i haven't gone fishing.. at all yet. :o i will soon, i promise. scott's all over that shit though.

[Pres Zount]

Yeah, but have they caught the hylian loach? I've caught it twice without using any cheaty lures :cool:

[befsquire]

pres, i don't know how i missed that. i kept checking the thread too, and still missed it. thanks for trying to help.

i pick belly and josh up today; hopefully they didn't go to like 8,000 levels past where we were.

[na§tee]

i added you guys yesterday! so hopefully i will send you a message tonight if i can wrestle both my flatmates offa their games (obsessed! we're all obsessed - what are we going to do once we complete it?). maybe i will add a picture. i don't know what of though. what would you like a picture of, beth? and i will try my best!

in other news i am now at the sky temple in zelda.

[befsquire]

i would like a picture of you playing zelda.

[na§tee]

sweet! that i can do. i will look terrible though post work and no shower (yah i chose sleep over clean hair this morning) s'all good. it's the truest representation of me i think you can get.

[Big Gus]

:(

I'm so jealous of you guys, been off my work all week, getting up early and going around any place that will sell a Wii or even may sell general electrical appliances in the hope they might have one....

..Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket and all I see are "Sold Out" signs. It's balls!

To go back to the "best launch line up" debate of 2 pages back my favourite has been Xbox. Halo, Jet Set Radio, Project Gotham Racing... Those games kept me playing for months.

[Pres Zount]

There needs to be a new version of jet set radio. On the wii, or on 360. But not on ps3 because I don't have that.

Hey, gang, here's a question: How do I connect a gamecube controller to the wii? can I just plug it in? Do I need an extra peripheral?

EDIT: NEVERMIND. I just opened this little door on the top that I never saw before I swear. I gather they plug in there.

As an afterthought, what does that clear, cirular plastic thing that came with the wii do?

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Indeed. In the 6 years that both Xbox iterations have been around, I haven't seen so much as one title that was a system seller (in my eyes, at least). The only thing that ever came close (and damn close) was JSRF. It's why I keep my eyes out for a super cheap Xbox to this day. I played the Dreamcast and Game Boy Advance JGR's to death. The DC version is probably my favorite game on the system...

It fits under the silver Wii stand to give it a bit more support when the system is positioned vertically.

[jackrock]

Oh, Prez :(

Expensive system now properly supported. Thankyou.

okay so i finished the sky temple. the boss was quite cool. i lost more hearts getting rammed by those little piggy things with the metal armour at the front during the temple than the boss though, funnilly enough. i hate them. but i realised if you keep z down and just circle them to get to their ass, they stay still (which was helpful in that temple with all the falling down to be had - didn't want to go leaping about) and you can just walk around again an' hit 'em. TAKE THAT YOU BITCHEZ!

[jackrock]

Or you could use the clawshot to remove the spiked shell before you get near them OWNED.

/goes to fetch books...

It's only owned if you throw it back at them.

[na§tee]

PWNED :(

beth, have you added me yet? it's not letting me send you messages of love :(

[Helvete]

Screw Zelda, I kick all ass at baseball and bowling.

[synch]

I'm still waiting for my Wii but the closer I get to having it the more doubt actually wanting to play Zelda.

I just don't know if I'm ready for that kind of commitment.

[Randetica]

Screw Zelda, I kick all ass at baseball and bowling.


i would totally wear that as my sig

i mean if i wasnt such a lazy cunt

[monkey]

i got red steel today. i havent been able to wii in days cause of annoying circumstances. but now... IM GONNA KICK ASS, MUFUCKERS!!!!!

[Bob]

twilight princess came today!

but i'm still waiting on the gamecube :(

all i can do is look at the cover and dream :(

it sucks, i had free time this weekend, too

[Documad]

I don't have the time to spend getting stuck in Zelda right now, so I've been playing Rayman instead. It's stupid but some of the little games are fun and it makes good use of the wii technology. I particularly enjoyed flying around, finding pigs, and dropping them in the pen. :o

I picked Rayman as my launch game, and it was fucking awesome. I particularly enjoyed the mini game in which you led the bunnies into bear traps.

Good times. (y)

[na§tee]

PLEASE HELP!

I FINISHED ZELDA. DONE. THE END.. CREDITS ROLLED.

and at "the end" section nothing happened.. it just went into the credits for the beginning of the game, and when i opened my file it just started again at the castle, and midna is still there and she is all like "save zelda" as if i haven't done it.. WHAT'S THE CRAIC? there's no wee triforce thing next to my name like what happened when you completed it in windwaker.

what have i done?!?!?!?!!?! i don't get it! i am SO PISSED OFF! :( :( :(

please, people have completed game! tell me it's happened to you too?

[zorra_chiflada]
