I'm playing the gamecube one (Thousand Year Door) and it's a lot of fun. I played most of the N64 one and loved that as well. I hope the new one comes correct.

I'm so glad the rumors turned out to be true. Sega's 'NiGHTS' returns on the Wii! :D

:banana: -other- :clap:
This better not be an early April Fool's joke!!! This was one of my favorite games for the Saturn (and my first exposure to analog control). It would make a perfect fit on the Wii, that's for sure. It better be Wii-mote controlled !! Article mentions Wii Exclusive, some sort of online component and 2 player modes. |
Sonic Team USA is developing the project. |

I do turn it on at least every couple days, my wife and I have been playing WarioWare, and we and my boy have been playing bowling on Wii Sports a good bit.

So...twice in the past 3 days, the Wii has completely frozen - once during Wii Sports Tennis (and I was pissing on a 2000 and 1900 pro, en route to my own 1700 ranking), and once while playing the GC version of Soul Calibur II. I swear, it freezes like the old 8-bit NES - stuff scrambled and it just emitted a machine-generated buzz tone.
I'm wondering if I should be worried, or if these are isolated incidents that just happened to occur in a short time span... |
The only time my Wii has frozen was playing Zelda (I think I had a scratch.. told me it couldn't read the disc) and a couple times trying to view videos on the browser. So.. probably about 3-4 times total in about 2 months time
|
my wii will not freeze up when i click on the mii channel. The screen goes black for 2-3 minutes, but eventually my mii's will pop up. This usually only happens if I don't use the wii for a week or two. Maybe it's not freezing up and just collecting data or fillin up my mii parade or something???

Is this a known problem with Zelda, with the Wii, or should I be concerned that I just have a faulty system? |

When I get that, I just turn of my wii, reset my router, power the router back up and then turn the Wii on and it will connect normally without the long black screens after that. It's a common problem (and solution) that I've seen around the net. It's apparently just a networking issue. |
Thanks for the tip. I have that problem every once in a while as well.

4/2 VC Releases... First NES game for more than 500 points? -ohbfrank-
Star Fox(R) 64 (Nintendo(R) 64, 1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points): Players take the controls of their Arwing and complete 15 missions to reach the final objective: a showdown on Venom, the home planet of the interplanetary tyrant, Andross. Throughout the adventure, players have to accomplish challenging objectives in order to reach and conquer every mission. Skim over the surface of an alien sea, weave through the concrete canyons of a futuristic metropolis or dodge planetoids the size of mountains. Between missions, players will be treated to real-time 3-D movies that progress the story of the Star Fox team of space mercenaries in their struggle against the evil ape emperor, Andross. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(R) (NES(R), 1 player, 600 Wii Points): Cowabunga! Players take control of the turtles in a half shell and rescue reporter April O’Neil from the clutches of the evil Shredder. Battle against the Foot Ninja Clan as Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello and Raphael with their trademark weapons and ninja abilities. Search through five stages and dozens of areas throughout the New York City sewers, rooftops and ultimately Shredder’s Technodrome to save April. Players must scarf down some pizza to keep up their energy, as they’ll need it to defeat Shredder. Turtle Power! (C)2007 Mirage Studios, Inc. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(R) is a trademark of Mirage Studios, Inc. All rights reserved. (C)1989 Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. Dragon’s Curse (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): After defeating the Mecha Dragon in the depths of the Dragon Castle, the wounded beast casts a spell on the hero, turning him into an ugly creature.

Collect gold and items while upgrading equipment and powering up stats. The hero starts as Lizard-Man but, upon defeating the dragon bosses, is changed into other creatures such as Mouse-Man, Piranha-Man,Tiger-Man and Hawk-Man. Each creature possesses distinct abilities such as the ability to fly, swim, walk on ceilings or cling to walls. Players use each creature’s special skills to widen your search for the Salamander Cross and bring the hero back to his human form! |
600 for a NES game and 1000 points for Starfox with no rumble support. No thanks.
|
These prices are going the wrong way.
|
Yeah, for 300-400 points, I would've considered TMNT. But for 600? Fuck you!
Thing is though, it'll sell. Since people are dumb, and they're dealing with "points" instead of dollars, it won't seem like the rip-off it is. |
Eh...$6 for a NES game isn't a ripoff to me. I mean...it's 6 friggin' dollars.
|
I got all my points at 75% <s>off</s>of-cost thanks to best buy coupons, but it's just the principle of the thing to me. I can't condone this pricing even if it covers licensing fees. Nintendo should eat that (or Konami).
I'd have got it for 500 points, but I can't support it for 600 even if the difference seems negligible. |

the only VC games that interest me are N64 games, and even then...

I hope sales of the few higher priced titles are drastically lower. I'd also like to see the prices move in the other direction. It would even be nice if, like retail games, the prices lowered over time. Full price at release, then lowered at regular intervals.
