FUCK YES!!
The hajime no ippo actually has better controls if you actually want to punch and shit, not that shitty point and click system! YES!
ths is AMAZING NEWS
Today's US VC releases are:
NES: Excitebike
MD/GEN: Beyond Oasis
TG: Splatterhouse
Not much.
Beyond Oasis(or Story of Thor for us europeans) is a fantastic action RPG.
Good news everyone, apparently Resident Evil is on track for an '07 release.
Sorry for the double post but Question:
Are any of you able to charge Ipods through your Wii? My new Ipod Shuffle just blinks "Do not Disconnect" whenever I plug in my ipod instead of showing the charge light.

Game Specific Friend Codes confirmed: http://gonintendo.com/?p=14962
Aww, shit. No no no no no no no no no. Friend codes….
So much for making online gaming accessible to the masses.
why can't everyone just copy XBOX Live and give it a new color scheme and a new name….
I really don't care about the friend codes system. I mean I'd rather play with my friends more than anyone anyway, and in these games there's the option to be put with random goobs anyway.
Nintendo think they are keeping people safe. Everyone denies it, but Nintendo makes things SOOOOO kid friendly they know that most people out there are playing.
I think at the GDC this year the translation of Yuji Naka's speech involved him mentioning there was a point where games went from fun toys to "Why are you brainwashing these people???" so I think they are trying to make themeselves look good by saying "see, only people woh know each other in real life can play with each other, they are safe.
We don't have voice chat, we don't have typing, we only have games to play, so if anyone needs friend codes it'd be the other guys who allow voice chat. Not saying that friend codes should be used at all.
Why can't we just use our My Nintendo accounts to play online, there's no harm. Friend codes need to die, if anyone kills nintendo, friend codes will be it, or at least it'll open them up. It's a weak spot. They are the giant enemy crab, and those friend codes are their soft underbelly, and they'd better cover it up before the others hit it for MASSIVE DAMAGE!!!!!
It's amazing what some people will go through to convince the public that we need friend codes and such and that games arn't safe. Anyone else seen that video of the reporter who pictochatted with the kids and said "even though they know they are talking with me, I'm a stranger(who does the news, lol) to them who they just met minutes ago, and they are using pictochat and giving me personal information like where they live"
They met him, they talked with him, he's a news reporter, and they probably asked the kids to pictochat over whatever he asks. So he goes on a rant about how unsafe the DS is, talking about having a guy driving a car, pictochat, at the same time, to the kids in the back seat of another car. Yeah, right. Driving and pictochatting secretly at the same time.
What's even more shocking is the mom saying something like "Oh my gosh, my kids are good kids, this pictochat is really evil".
Yeah, sure lady, little angels who when told by a news reporter what to do for the camera, they are sweet innocent people who can be tricked into giving personal info away to a man driving a car and using his DS at the same time. SUUUUURE. What's next, windows unsafe so people sue until every windows in the world is tinted and snowed so you can't see inside, only outside? Telephones zapping you unless you put in a code to confirm an adult is using the phone or gave permission to use it?
The world's filled with ignorant idiots who believe the news, which is trying to get higher ratings. Everything is perfectly safe, and I will punch anyone, or slap them, for being stupid and believing this kind of stuff, Friend codes are pointless, in fact their only point is BAD, and they need to go. Now.
That's one of the longest overreactions I've ever read
Jesus Christ, cool down.
why can't everyone just copy XBOX Live and give it a new color scheme and a new name….
Like hell. I'm not going to play on wifi if I have to pay.
But daaamn, that's one huge rant
I bet GearSecond is writing up an extensive letter about how Nintendo's oppressive implementation of Friend Codes on their wifi service is an infringement on our civil liberties and will hand deliver it to his congressman first thing tomorrow morning
I'm sure that they only meant that you will create new friends lists for each individual game, but you will only ever have 1 Wii Code.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Why is the wii now 500 dollars?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Why is the wii now 500 dollars?
Exactly where do you live? I don't recall a Wii being 500 dollars. That's just nuts.
woah, dunno where you get your info. The Wii's still 250 as far as I know.
all I can find is the 500-550 Family packs..no 250 Wii online or in any stores where I live
Well, you know, it's hard to find a Wii ANYWHERE.
They're called Family packs because they are packs. You know, bundles, which means more stuff.
Coming up to the 4 month mark now and Wiis are still unavailible practically everywhere in the U.K. I'm glad I got mine at launch because quite frankly, it is a poor show on Nintendo's part. You'd expect after so long that Nintendo would have shipped enough now that you could go into your local game shop or online retailer and purchase one but nope.
I didn't know Wii's were hard to find. But then again I live in Mobile, Alabama where money is not exactly abundant.
Anyways, I ain't buyin a Wii until Brawl and OP Unlimited come out. When they hit, I'm there.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Heres some advice, don't look online, brick and mortar all the way!
(or a combo of online+b&m)

Well althought OP comes out next month I dont think its coming out in the US and the Wii is region locked so we cant play it even its imported. Brawl is a long way from coming out and if you look at that list I posted a couple of pages back you can see that Brawl isnt even on there for a 2007, unless they have an updated list at E3. I do hope the OP does come out in the US it looks like its going to be a great game.
On a side note the Wii is very hard to find in my part of Florida and Sams Club is the only that has those bundles, I have never seen it otherwise. Has anyone bought that Nyko charge station for the Wii-Motes yet? I cant seem to find it anywhere either.
March 26th, 2007
That’s it, I am officially convinced that Beautiful Katamari is coming to the Wii. On top of that Namco Classics Remixed could be very interesting. Wiimote control on old-school games perhaps.
http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://gonintendo.com/?p=15117/
Wasn't the new Katamari announced a month ago that it will be coming on the Wii for $30?
Actually, ALL the next-gen consoles are getting a Katamari game. Greg made a thread about it somewheres….
I see now theres a cooling station for the Wii. does the Wii overheat that fast?or is there a fan in the system?
I always figured the Wii was pretty good for overheating. I'm pretty sure there's a fan; there's a vent on the back, anyway. The cooling system is supposedly more about prolonging the life of the system, though if it's like my Gamecube the bugger will never die.
On a side note - When the hell is Fire Emblem 10 coming out stateside? God, I'd wish they'd just put a date on it. It doesn't look like it's coming Q2 like originally planned, and now I get the feeling it's going to be yet another Wii game pushed to Q4.
Nights 2 confirmed?
Doesn't mention console, regardless decided to put it here since it's rumored to be on Wii.
Or it could be an April Fools, if it is then neogaf is going to explode.

Romance of the 3 kingdoms?
NiGHTS for the WII has been confirmed for like a week
Yes, Nights 2, awesome. That's long overdue, I hope Sega won't ruin it, that's definitely great news. The list of Wii games I'm interesting in grows longer everyday. Now they just have to announce a new Kid Icarus and show Umbrella Chronicles and I'll give them my 250 bucks, those rats.
NiGHTS is awesome, but I'm still waiting on a confirmation for a Rez sequel.
I've been playing Tales of Symphonia GC on my Wii. Haven't played it since I beat it after I imported it years ago.
Another GC game becomes a Wii game.
Now that's innovation.

Do a Barrel Roll Wii!
Here comes my first Virtual Console purchase.
I'm betting Capcom will end up making a lot of RE4 remakes. They are good at it. There will be a PS3 version and a XBox 360 version, and a PS4 version… and a Nintendo Triple Screen Gameboy version.
An RE4 for the Wii, eh? I can see how they set the controls. I might pick it up out of sheer curiousity and the fact that I don't own 4. (…and I call myself an RE fan. )
I'm more curious about Chronicles though. Has any new info emerged about that?
I'm excited about Super Paper Mario! I enjoyed the first two, and this one looks to be just as good (if not better).
Still cant find a wii..and found out SSBB is out in 2 months!
