High Voltage Software bringing some 'Left 4 Dead' style gaming to the Wii with 'The Grinder':

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

"Cutting edge graphics"

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

oh yeah? Hmmm...

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

Well the Wii had a great E3 2009 showing IMO! Here are my top 10 most anticipated Wii games. Click on the name to see video footage:

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2 - TBA 2010
Yes! The sequel to the greatest Nintendo game ever made! Now with more Yoshi!

2. Metroid: Other M - TBA 2010
Team Ninja + Nintendo = Amazing!

3. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle - Q1 2010
Travis Touchdown returns and all is good!

4. Endless Ocean 2 - Q1 2010
The sequel to one of the most underrated Wii games looks to improve on every aspect of the first! Also support Wii Speak!

5. New Super Mario Bros. Wii - Holiday 2009
6. The Grinder - TBA 2010
7. Wii Sports Resort - July 26, 2009
8. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom - Q4 2009
New for the North American release, five new characters and online play!

9. Sin & Punishment 2 - Q1 2010
10. Red Steel 2 - Q4 2009

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.

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

Sarcasm?

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

http://videogamesrepublic.com/?p=4183

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

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

Japan is the key word.

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

Same here.

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.

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