NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2007 Ok so everything is up and running with the wireless router....thanks for the help guys. Oh, how do I change the channel of the router? I think it is on the default channel which is 6, where do I change the settings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thoth 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2007 It should be under the Wireless Options of your router settings. To get to your router settings, type 192.168.1.1 into your web browser address bar. Username and password should be admin and admin, unless you changed them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubq 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2007 I gave it to my brother for xmas, and he's been playing online for ... forever since he got it. The controls really ARE better than MP3, it's unbelievable! I gotta say, I picked this up with a gift card, and only paid about $6 for it. I haven't been into shooters like this since the first iteration of Counter-Strike, but damn MOH:H2 is fun. I bounced right into an online game and came in second place - first try! The controls really are intuitive too. I really like being able to control the gun with the Wiimote and move with the nunchuk control stick. I always thought it was so awkward playing these types of games with a PS2 controller and trying to move with the left stick and aim with the right stick. Either way, for me, good purchase!

LJSexay 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2007 that is awesome dubq, we should play! and just so everyone knows.... the new Trauma Center is just plain addicting. I can't stop. I'm at the first challenge level, and I'm ranked around the low 500s=X! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubq 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2007 I'm down with that LJ for sure. I also love that MOH doesn't even use friend codes. I'm going to create an ID just for TSM called TSM_dubq or something similar. Anyone else aside from LJ play? Maybe I'll bring this up in the game nights thread..

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 So is "Top Hunter: Roddy and Cathy" the basis of the Metal Slug series? It certainly looks like it in screen shots. If I had my Wii online, I'd be all over NES Bubble Bobble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Don't think so. Top Hunter, while it did come out before Metal Slug, is not related to 'Slug except that its producer worked on the home ports of Metal Slug X on PS1 and the Slug Anthology. The main programmers of Top Hunter were King of Fighters folks. The folks who made the awesome Metal Slug 1-3 games seems to all use aliases in the credits, but don't match up with Top Hunter directly. Since they're all SNK, I think little or no folks worked on both. Top Hunter's gimmick is the ability to jump into the background and back to the foreground, like some of the Fatal Fury games. I think I played one game of it in my life, in like a New York arcade, but it looks pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Sounds good. I just noticed in screen shorts it was a cartoony character running around on a scrolling screen with a huge gun, so you can see why I would think there was some relation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Plus it's an SNK game, so yeah I get it. Since Neo Geo *non-fighters* are generally already obscure, it's often hard to get a reliable opinion on something that's even obscure by those standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Question: Is every downloadable game compatible with the wii-mote? I saw Mario Kart 64 listed in the shopping guide, but it only had a picture of the classic controller and the gamecube controller.....does this mean if I download it, I need to buy a classic controller?

All NES and TG-16 games work with the Wiimote. Some Genesis games work with it. For SNES and N64 games, you'll need either a gamecube controller or classic controller. A wavebird is pretty much the best overall controller. It works with everything and you'll be able to still use it wirelessly on the Wii (same way on GC, plug the reciever into the gamecube port or ports).

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2008 I was never able to beat Bubble Bobble on the NES... Isn't there, like 99 stages and a boss? It was an arcade port with finite continues on the home version. I don't think many people actually *beat* it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2008 The last level of Bubble Bobble was basically impossible. You had to hope for a certain fluke power up to show up in order to have any chance of winning, from what I remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2008 You get codes in order to continue in Bubble Bobble. The last level of Bubble Bobble was basically impossible. You had to hope for a certain fluke power up to show up in order to have any chance of winning, from what I remember. Yeah, there's this "power up" thing (my brother & I just call it "the fingernail") that always shows up in the last level. You have to get it in order to advance to fight the final boss. And you can't get the "happy" ending (heh) in 1 player - you need to play 2-player to get the "real" ending. If you beat it in 1-player, it tells you to play 2-player to get that ending. My brother & I have beaten the game a bunch of times in 2-player, but I don't think either of us have played all the way through in 1-player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2008 Yeah, the d-pad blows. That's the main advantage of the Classic, but I *hate* having that dangling wiimote off it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sideburnious 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2008 I just leave the Wii mote on a table or the arm of a chair. I just recently got the classic controller and I do have to say it's much handier for snes games. Snes games are almost impossible to get comfortable with with a gamecube controller. It's fine for N64 games though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My cousin and I managed to beat the game with the good ending a few times, but it was very hard. We had problems with the boss, but yeah, if memory serves, just GETTING to the boss properly required you to get the power-up (which we thought was a potion? A book / Bible? I don't quite remember) from a tight location AND make it to the doorway before the level ended / scrolled away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
