yup, Pit...I did see that, hopefully Kid Icarus Wii comes out one of these days...of course, they'd do something stupid like make it a 1st person shooter or some shit.

A youtube ripoff made easier for the Wii interface.

Unnecessary and unwarranted Metroid Prime hate much?

 

Yeah I'm sick of the Fire Emblem FPSers, too.

 

I wouldn't mind Nintendo outsourcing a Kid Icarus sequel on DS to Iga, though.

[Black Lushus 0]

no, I don't hate Prime...fps works for Metroid, I just dont think it's the way to go with Kid Icarus.

Go to the Wii Ware section of the Wii Shop channel. New channel for download: the Everybody Votes Channel. It's free. No idea what this is.

 

I'm downloading this now... I have no fucking idea at all.

 

Damn, it requires a system update.

 

It appears the system update adds a "Region of Residence" option.

 

Oh wow. You vote on stuff. Using Mii's. By dropping them where you want to vote. Huh. The votes are sent over Internet. You can predict which repsonse gets more votes, etc.

 

At least it's free. I could see this being a casual sort of thing. Actually, I think this could get addicting.

 

Woah, you can suggest your own questions.

[AndrewTS 0]

it sounds like it could be a trojan horse to tighten up region coding on the Wii. I don't intend to hard mod my Wii anyway, but I'll wait a bit.

 

I downloaded and am playing Kirby, though.

[Guest Smues]

I just got done playing Wario Ware and had turned off the Wii, then looked over at it to see it was glowing blue and was surprised. Downloading the votes channel now. Sounds like goofy fun

Took advantage of the Everybody Votes Channel. Roses, Dogs, and 22nd Century.

 

Also, the question I suggested was "Which franchise do you prefer - Mario or Zelda?" Admittedly kinda obvious, let's see if it gets picked up.

[Boner Kawanger 0]

Everyone must be getting it, this is the slowest the Wii Shop has ever been for me.

[Eclipse 0]

Downloaded it when I got home an hour ago. It was definitely a surprise to see a new channel. I see this channel getting addicting since new polls go up, and the comparisions sent to the Wii console later on. Thanks Nintendo!

alas even more stuff I cant do!

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Bitch about it some more, that'll help.

 

So that WiFi adapter I bought for $40, turns out I don't need it as one of our alumni fixed the wireless router where it reaches all our rooms now. With no box/receipt, it just sits on my desk as a paperweight. Oh, well.

 

Anyone wanna buy a WiFi Adapter for uh, $15?

Perrin Kaplan--managing to be both uninformative and (along with IGN's Matt) utterly unprofessional at the same time.

According to IGN it's rumored that Okami is coming to Wii.

[AndrewTS 0]

What a pointless port if it's true.

[devo 0]

I've gotta agree. I'm not enamored enough with the motion control to re-buy the game for the Wii, and I don't think there are enough Wii owners who don't have a PS2 to make the port worthwhile.

 

Actually, looking at the Wii release date list, I don't see a single Capcom game in the works. The only information I can find is on the rumored Okami port and some "mystery" game.

[AndrewTS 0]

Don't forget the Resident Evil Variety Platter.

[BUTT 0]

What a pointless port if it's true.

I thought you liked that game.

[AndrewTS 0]

I thought you liked that game.

 

I do. However, I fail to see the point of porting it. Why not make something new instead? The idea supposedly is that it will enhance the brush techniques...but none of them were hard with the analog. It isn't like aiming in Zelda.

 

I also liked Prince of Persia The Two Thrones. However, I think Ubi porting it to Wii, with a T rating, with no enhancements except Wii-ified controls, is hella lame.

 

Okami I'm just "meh" on because everyone who wanted it should already own it on PS2. However, Two Thrones Wii I find to be flat out offensive.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

And theres the reverse, in which games made for nintendo are getting ported to the PS2 and XBox360. Rayman RR is getting ported to the 360 and will make use of the camera add on to pick up gestures for about 1/2 the minigames along with upgraded spiffy HD graphics and possible XBL play..

 

 

and Okami sort of interests me because I dont have a PS2..

I don't have a PS2 and I've heard awesome things about Okami so personally I'd be willing to try it out on the Wii even with no motion control at all.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

I agree with Andrew...

 

I love Okami, but don't really want to get it on the Wii now.

[The Man in Blak 0]

And they announce this less than 24 hours after I purchase a used copy of Okami through Gamefly. Assholes.

It hasn't been "announced." Capcom has simply not denied that a game might be ported to Wii.

Yeah Why does it do that blue glow thing?

[Boner Kawanger 0]

Yay, I found Wii Play at Sears, probably because no one touches Sears. They had two copies and an extra remote by itself.

 

-migoli, the blue glow means you have a new message and/or an update is available. It's probably the Everybody Votes Channel.

[AndrewTS 0]

I'm guessing soon we're getting Donkey Kong Country, and possibly Zelda 2.

 

I'm basing it upon the fact that it's pretty much the only SNES VC release that hasn't hit that did come out in other regions, plus all this week featured Smash Bros combatants.

 

For reference--the stuff we got so far:

AHHH ok makes sense because i dodnt just add the vote and its not glowing now, thanks for clearing that up

[EricMM 0]

One week later and still no Wii's in stock, anywhere.

 

Le sigh.
