Yes. I wanted this in the first place, but got MLB as my last option. Went back yesterday to check since I hadn't opened MLB and there it was so I exchanged it.

I got my two free Wii jackets in the mail today!

I still kinda wish they were giving sleeves for the nunchuck too.

On your router make sure your wireless is set to channel 1 or 11. Many people had problems with updates/downloads and changing the broadcast channel on the router fixes many of the problems.

Definitely true as some of the other channels are on the same frequency as Bluetooth that the WiiMote uses to pass info to the Wii.

I wasn't real pumped about Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, but the videos I watched at IGN really changed my mind. Really cool events here: triple jump, long jump, 4x100 meter relay, 4x400 meter relay, archery, swimming, gymnastics, fencing, high jump, pole vault, rowing, table tennis, hurdles.

I'm hoping it controls similar to Wii Sports (i.e., easy and fluid).

I think they bumped the release date up to 11/6. I'll be there; who's with me?

I actually don't see why this is coming out so soon. I guess with Smash Bros being delayed nintendo wants at least two major holiday releases but aren't the olympics going to start in the middle of the summer? Why release an olympics tie in game 6 months in advance?

Rygar: The Battle of Argus



Interview with Rygar Developer Keisuke Kikuchi on Joystiq

Couple of highlights:

• doesn't appear to be a straight port of the PS2 game
• targeted for the hardcore gamer
• subtitled Muscle Impact in Japan
• Gladiator mode where he wants NO GAMER sitting down to play. "I intend everyone to be standing up, swinging their arms, building their muscles"
• force and strength of swing will impact gameplay
• still hoping for a release late this year, but probably not likely

Awesome. I'm there. I'll stand up to play it.

Bad Ass.

Thanks for the tip, tried it and I got my update!!

Whats Rygar? I have never heard of this game. Whats it like, style? Saw some screen caps and it look pretty cool. It its action at least like Zelda, Im in. But if its flat out RPG, blech!


Okay, whos getting BWii in the next week? I plan on picking up a copy and the only 2 people I know with a wii dont play these type of games (theyre chicks), so I'll need some friends to play with cause I wanna go online!

How does one know if his Miis have made it to other consoles?

It's an action game that dates back to the NES. The disk armor is Rygar's weapon. Think of a Castlevania whip with a shield attached to the end of it.

Wow, that armor looks so uncomfortable. I hope he used Gold Bond powder underneath that thing or he's gonna chaff...

It was actually an arcade game before making it to the NES. (The Lynx version was cool btw.)

I had no idea. Looks like, from wiki, that the NES version was a very loose version of the Arcade game while the Lynx version was basically a port with minor differences.

BWii?

Battalion Wars 2 or Battalion Wars Wii

Saw this posted on youtube about wiifit. Looks pretty cool

Got mine today. I really like them. I was tempted to buy some of the gloves, but passed because I thought they were overpriced. Glad I waited because these are excellent. The shape makes it much easier to use the Wiimote as an NES controller and overall the grip makes you feel in more control of the remote.

I got mine today too. They make the controller feel a little bulky to me, but I can see liking it for Wii Sports where the extra bulk feels right. I can also see using it for company and kids.

Overall, it takes an elegant piece of equipment and turns it straight up ugly...but if it adds some functionality some of the time, it's certainly worth having. Kudos to Nintendo for doing it.

I was also going to by some gloves too. I'm glad I waited as Nintendo has now saved me some money sending me the jackets!

How easy do the new gloves come off?

I have yet to send in for mine, but I have a charger that requires the rmeoval of any gloves.

It takes about 5sec to put on or off the WiiMote Condoms.

I can't decide if I like it or not. The extra plastic cushion they put on the head of the WiiMote looks really goofy, but I can see where it could help. I played about three hours of Metroid last night with it. I'll do the same tonight and see what I like better.

I was in Best Buy today (looking for Zack & Wiki -- no luck), and I saw Wiis on the shelf! Four or five of them. First time I've ever seen them "in the wild".
