That looks awesome. But I've been wrong about these trailers before. :(

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

"Cutting edge graphics" :lol:

It will be interesting to see how they handle the 4-player online play.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

High Voltage is putting a ton of effort into games that will be lucky to sell 100K on the Wii.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

I need some advice. My wii doesn't seem to output sound correctly anymore. Only the left channel seems to work. I've tried multiple cables and connections on my TV, but I think it's definitely an issue with the hardware. I have a Bestbuy warranty, but it occurred to me that if I use it, they'll just give me a new wii and I'll lose my DLC, which sucks. I know that technically Nintendo says "no" to the possibility of transferring DLC to new systems, but my machine's out of warranty, so I don't know what to do. Anyone have any tips on getting them to repair a system or, alternatively, allowing me to transfer my DLC to a replacement system I get from BB? I know that Nintendo has a history of great customer service, but I would like to know if there's a certain branch of their customer service I should call or something?

I've never had a problem with any gaming hardware before, so I'm a bit lost about what to do. Thanks in advance for any help!

Try starting here:

Nintendo will move any DLC that is possible to move. They cant move Miis you create, Address books, Friend Codes a few other non essentials.

Even its out of warranty Nintendo should be able to move any DLC you have to the repaired machine or to a new machine if its not repairable.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

That's awfully good to hear! I'll try one last time to connect the wii before I give them a call, but hopefully they'll help me out.

Thanks! :D

Umm, an episodic Monkey Island series on WiiWare? Here's my money, I'm sold. http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

Nintendo should be able to. If its out of warranty they may charge you something, but at least you will have your DLC back.

Call and see what happens. They may not charge you anything.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

Really wasn't happy with the Wiiware version of Strongbad. Voices sounded like the were compressed very heavily and it was very glitchy. I'm happy about this, but I will probably grab it on the PC.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

With a title like that, it could be a Japanese RPG.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

oh yeah? Hmmm...

And it looks to be cheaper on PC especially if you pre-order. 35 vs 5x1000 points.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

If you are patient they end up $15-18 on Steam frequently. I picked up Sam & Max season 1&2 and Strongbad all under $20 each for the complete seasons.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

Yeah I was happy with everything overall, even though this year definitely feels light for AAA 1st party titles.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

Sarcasm?

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

This looks pretty right-on.

I posted this in the E3 thread but seems a better fit here:

Black Nintendo Wii, Red DSi coming this summer

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

I like the black but I have long since skinned mine.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

I can't wait to get a black wii remote/nunchuk! :)

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

Japan is the key word.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

Is Boom Blox 2 worth it if you pretty much just play solo?

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

Same here.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

As an update, I finally called Nintendo, and they told me that I'd either have to send it to them for repair at a cost of $75 or switch it out at Best Buy and re-buy all of the content. FUCK. I guess I'm going to hold out for a price drop on the Wii to offset the cost of re-buying the DLC. I still get sound from one speaker, so it's not the end of the world, but it's definitely annoying.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 

Weird, can't you just re-download all your stuff you already bought?
