Just bought a wii and tested it with the wii sports, is really fun, and well now I ordered mario kart and i'm looking forward to play it.
And well I'm not really planing on buying a mod chip right now because I want to see how nintendo handles that eventually before spending money on that.
and well games I'm probably looking forward to get eventually would be zelda, mario galaxy, smash bross and one piece ua =D, then there's nothing I would probably want to spend money on (trauma center looks great, but since my hands shake too much thanks to you know what, I'll probably end killing all the patients ;/).

Fixed though I doubt they'd be able to do something like that.

question:
with Wiiware coming out on monday, will we still get VC games for the week? -
There's a new channel that came out today. It's basically a collection of videos now, but eventually it's going to have DS demos up for download!
EDIT: Turns out that DS demos are available now! Go to the list of videos, go to the "Find Titles" option at the top, and choose "DS Download Service" from the list.
-
Oh really? The light woke me up but I didn't bother to check what it was what with the whole sleep thing.

USB connector help:
I am trying to install the USB connector and I keep getting Internet Sharing Error(5)
and cant find anything in the nintendo site for what do
EDIT:
SSBB just came in the mail! -
No Pokemon Ranch, Dr. Mario or Final Fantasy for WiiWare launch in the US. Doesn't look like we'll be getting any VC titles next week, either.
What a lame ass week.
-
Meanwhile, Europe's getting Gley Lancer and Cho Aniki.
-
I dunno about you guys, but I'm not exactly excited about a shooter involving naked dudes all over the screen. :wassat:
-
So now that the ESRB has rated EarthBound what are the chances of Nintendo of America actually releasing it here? I've heard titles have appeared on their site only to get removed later.

Reviews from SSBB VC trials:
Icarus Kid:Looks cool
F-Zero:Cool Racer Game
Star Fox 64:very blocky,Voices are different,and controls are hard to master in the beginning.I know Cho aniki is only in europe,I was just surprised a game like that was released OUTSIDE Japan.

Super Mario RPG being one of them.

NINTENDO LAUNCHES WiiWARE:
AN OPEN PLAYGROUND FOR CREATIVITY
Downloadable Game Service Delivers Developers’ New Ideas Directly to ConsumersREDMOND, Wash., May 12, 2008 – Nintendo’s Wii console has already changed the way people play games. Now its new WiiWare service decisively tears down limitations for how developers create games – and the way people receive them.
Starting today, Wii owners with an Internet connection can download new, creative games from a wide range of developers, from large publishers to indie shops. By reducing the barriers that make console game development prohibitively expensive, WiiWare showcases original ideas in the most democratic environment in industry history, connecting the people who make games more directly with the people who play them.
WiiWare frees developers from the traditional constraints of video game development. WiiWare lets developers experiment with big ideas and small budgets to the benefit of players everywhere. Newer, smaller teams now have an outlet for their creative ideas. The constantly growing WiiWare library will have a regular flow of unique video gaming experiences consumers might not otherwise have access to.
“WiiWare is to the video game industry what independent films are to Hollywood,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “WiiWare lets developers experiment with new ideas and experiences. Combined with our collection of classic Virtual Console games, Wii provides one-stop shopping for the greatest games of the past – and the future.”
WiiWare games are easy to download. Just go to the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel, find the game you want, redeem Wii Points and start the download. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. New games, at various Wii Point values, will be added to WiiWare on Mondays. The newly launched Nintendo Channel on Wii will let people view videos of and read information about WiiWare games and other Nintendo products. Users also can see player opinions to help them decide what to play next.
Today, the inaugural lineup of WiiWare games is just a taste of things to come:
FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a King (Square Enix, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone – Mild Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes, 1,500 Wii Points): FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a King takes a legendary franchise and launches it into the realm of simulation gaming. Players are challenged to rebuild a kingdom, leading its young king on a path of discovery through an adventure bristling with mystery and intrigue.
LostWinds (Frontier Development, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone – Mild Fantasy Violence, 1,000 Wii Points): A fresh, enchanting platform adventure that puts the power of the wind in the palm of your hand – from raging tornados to the gentlest breeze. You’ll wield your Wii Remote controller to power Toku’s jumps and glides, suspend and smash enemies, meet friends and solve puzzles using LostWinds’ novel, intuitive and playful control system.
Defend your Castle (XGen Studios, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone – Cartoon Violence, 500 Wii Points): Defend your Castle takes place on a grassy plain surrounded by invaders. You are the commander of your castle, and it is your duty to fling the invading enemies sky-high, watching them plummet to their demise. As you progress, add powerful spells and upgrades to your arsenal for repelling the attacks. How long can you hold them off?
Pop (Nnooo, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 700 Wii Points): Pop bubbles to score points and stop the timer from running out. Pop can be enjoyed by anyone – casual gamers can simply play to pop bubbles and keep the game moving, whereas advanced players will need to pick their shots rapidly and accurately and generate combos to maximize their score.
V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack (High Voltage Software, Inc., 1-4 players, Rated T for Teen – Simulated Gambling, 700 Wii Points): V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack re-creates the casino experience, with fully animated players and a realistic Las Vegas dealer. Single players can increase their bankrolls, while multiple players can engage in a head-to-head mini-blackjack tournament.
TV Show King (Gameloft, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points): TV Show King transforms your living room into a real TV quiz show studio where you’ll face the challenge of answering more than 3,000 questions across six different categories. Compete against family and friends and use your Wii Remote controller in original ways to make it to the finals to see who can win the greatest amount of cash in one final, deciding duel.

Nintendo’s Wii-kly Update Takes a Week Off
To celebrate today’s launch of the new WiiWare downloadable game service for Wii, there will be no Virtual Console games added today. But don’t worry – next week the Wii-kly Update will be back to its regular Monday schedule, bringing Wii owners information about the best classic Virtual Console titles and coolest new WiiWare games.
Yup, no Dr. Mario or Pogeymanz Ranch. No VC titles this week, either.

How dare they take a break before supplying us with better weekly VC releases! Especially with the whole 2 releases at a time thing…

Musta slipped my mind when they gave us only Double Dragon one week and then Pokemon Puzzle League with the spectacular Renegade the next.
And who's to say next week will bring us good VC games? Things have been rather "meh" lately.
-
In Europe, we have Metal Slug on VC.
-
the FF:CC game sounds cool.
wonder if its like the FF on Sony or the GCN CC? -
Yeah, thanks for posting Tsukento, even if I saw that a few days ago on Gamestop. The only one that looks sort of interesting to me is Lost Winds, but this new Wiiware thing sounds pretty cool.
-
It's looking like the GC version to me.

Incase you guys haven't seen, here's some pix.

Tv Show King -
I played the Wii for the first time ever today. I went to my local Rent-a-Center looking for a TV to replace my dead one. There was a nice big widesceen which we are considering which had Wii on it. I played Tennis for a few minutes, shit was hard.
A little girl wanted to play so I helped her the best I could, needless to say she did awfully. But she was only 4, and I was actually impressed with how fast she caught on.
Either way, I didn't expect it to be as challenging as it was. It was fun tho, and I'm happy to finally know the sensors are great.
-
So yeah, Kid Icarus for the Wii is basically confirmed.

#1: It's IGN. Enough said there.
#2: They have been saying it for a year and even said the game would be revealed at TGS 2007 and the Nintendo Conference last month. They claim that Factor 5 is making it which leads to…http://gonintendo.com/?p=42451

I take it you're referring to the Nintendo Channel's DS downloads.
Yeah, I got around to playing the demo of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword myself. Not too bad. I thought it was gonna be lousy, but I found it to be pretty decent. -
Got a new WiiWare game the other day.
Block Breaker Deluxe
It's a pretty fun Breakout clone with a lot of powerups and some casino based boards + boss battles.
I am on stage 40. I have two-three areas left of the game (20-30 levels).
