That's when I picked it up!

anyone found reviews (US) for pokemon battle revolution yet? i dont have diamond/pearl but i'm kinda interested in seeing what online battles are like.

This isn't a review, but its a clip of how the DS connects to the Wii in Pokemon.

I'm not sure if that's a direct link, but its pretty easy to find if not.

Man the classic controller sucks for N64 games. I thought the PS2 dual shocked sucked, but the grip you need to use the analog on the classic controller is unbearable. I had to switch to the GameCube controller instead.

Anyway, F-Zero X holds up very well. I think the control is a bit loose, but maybe I'm just out of practice. N64 games do look very nice on the VC.

I'm actually surprised they haven't yet. Maybe the internet channel isn't as popular as they thought it would be, but a keyboard would definitely have me surfing more on the Wii.
I wish there were a faster way to enter 'www.' and '.com'. I think some past console that went online had a shortcut that entered those.

They'll probably wait and see how the 'net channel is doing after they've been charging for it for a while.

You don't need to enter 'www.' or '.com' on the Wii browser when looking up sites. For example if you enter 'DVDTalk' into the Wii opera address field, it will automatically bring you www.dvdtalk.com!

But if you are typing on the Wii QWERTY keyboard and you hit this button:



This will turn on the predictive text function and it will bring up .com, .net, .org etc., while you are typing on the Wii keyboard.

Also for those who may not have seen these Wii remote opera browser shortcuts keys:

Hold B + D-pad up = refresh page
Hold B + D-pad down = opens favorites menu
Hold B + D-pad left = opens search field
Hold B + D-pad right = opens address field (again just enter 'DVDTalk', 'Yahoo', etc. and your there)
Hold B + minus button = go back one page
Hold B + plus button = go forward one page

I don't know if this is new or not, but I just received this link in an email from AIM. Create your very own WeeMee!

Anyone see the news story on Wiimbeldon? Man some of those people were F.U.G.L.Y.

Anybody have any experience with MarioParty8 AND Big Brain Academy as far as multiplayer?

Having some friends over this weekend and I'm trying to decide between the two as which would be more enjoyabe for about 7 people.

We're having a great time with Mario Party.

In case was wondering where he went, Josh H retired.

So long Josh H... hopefully we'll see you in an occassional online DS game.

hopefully this spells good news for this thread anyway :/

He sometimes came off as a broken record, but, I appreciated his input and opinions. I think this thread has been a little stale lately anyway.

So, other than 1st Party games, what are people looking forward to the most right now? I'm personally pretty interested in GH III though, admittedly, I don't own any of the other iterations on PS2, etc.

Yep. I never had any issues.

Manhunt 2.

I'm looking forward to Super Mario Strikers Charged. Seems to be a decent online game, if the European reviews are any indication.

I'm also looking forward to the online component. Oddly enough, I'm kind of looking forward to Madden '08 for the online aspect and improved controls, but, just can't imagine actually owning 2 Madden games in 2 years. I'm also curious about Strikers though I can't think of the last soccer game I've even played on any system.

GHIII, but only if I don't have a 360 by then. Other than that, nothing.

Wii third party games I'm looking forward to:

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles








Godzilla: Unleashed





Soul Calibur Legends



Dragon Quest Swords



Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles





Also:
Nights Into Dreams
Guitar Hero III (only if it includes Nintendo rock tunes)
Geometry Wars Galaxies
No More Heroes

3rd Party Titles Im interested in:
Zack & Wiki
MySims
GH3
No More Heoes
Resident Evil: UC
SoulCalibur Legends
NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
My Word Coach
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary


not to say I'd buy them.. but definately keeping an eye on.

Third me for RE: UC, Nights, FF:CC, Dragon Quest, maybe Zack/TI:Z from the lists above. I haven't really kept up on upcoming releases more than a couple weeks away.

Out of the 3rd party games mentioned above, Soul Calibur and Nights are the on ones that interest me. And even those are only maybes...

Manhunt 2 at this point


besides that, I buy way too many games for this system as is
