Golfie Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 ^I doubt they'd do that. At the least, however, there will probably be some kind of email message they send you. Check your disc slots - if they're glowing blue on Christmas morn', you've got mail!
disneyfan1313 Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 The Opera web browser should be active in a few hours!  I don't think there will be a free game on Xmas - but nintendo has announced what will be released on Dec. 25 and Jan 1st on the VC  (from Gamespot) For its own part, Nintendo is releasing the original NES classic Super Mario Bros. for 500 Wii points ($5). Backing up the company’s portly plumbers will be a pair of best sellers from the Super Nintendo era: Capcom’s Street Fighter II: The World Warrior and Konami’s Super Castlevania IV. Each of those games will sell for 800 Wii points ($8).  The final two games announced for release Christmas Day are pulled from non-Nintendo platforms. The Sega Genesis game ToeJam & Earl dances its funky way onto the Virtual Console, followed by the TurboGrafx-16 shoot-’em-up R-Type, both for 800 Wii points ($8). The R-Type price is notable since all previous TurboGrafx-16 games on the Virtual Console have sold for 600 Wii points ($6).  Finally, Nintendo also announced a pair of games that would be released for the Virtual Console the Monday after Christmas, New Year’s Day. The publisher will start the new year by swinging for the fences with Baseball and fighting in the streets with Urban Champion. Both games debuted on the NES and will sell for 500 Wii points ($5).
Sir Clinksalot Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I know I'll be getting Super Mario Bros. on Christmas at least. Â Hope it's the original version and not the Super Mario All Stars Version.
SharkTums Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 ^^Very cool! Â R-Type was for the 'super turbo graphix' system so I guess that's why it's more. Â I guess we'll go get an SD card just in case as it seems we'll be downloading quite a few things!
man Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 so elissa what games did robb bring you] Â edit: oh yea the free VC games thing was confirmed fake dont remember where. Also browsers supposed to be up tommorow.
SharkTums Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Robb brought me:  CoD3 - Still in wrapper, no real desire to play  Tony Hawk - Unwrapped, but still unplayed...not really into skateboarding games  Zelda - I rode my horse, I herded goats, I got bored. Not my type of game.  Rayman - OMG!!! BEST GAME!!!! WOW!!! I never thought I would like this, but wow, it's my favorite game for the Wii so far! If you don't have this game, you need to get it now!!!! I played it with Jahan and Robb today for over 5 hours!
man Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 everyone is saying raymans the best I might have to get it. Although you should really get elebits its the best game I got right now.
ParkTrips Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 screw that, nothing will beat Trauma Center
man Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 im sure rayman does  edit: oh yea and elebits... and zelda and monkey balls and wii sports and te other game I have that im to lazy to remember the title
Blazen_AZN Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 ^ Oh, who doens't laugh at monkey balls? Â amyway, the beta web browser comes out today (free) and i can't wait... Â i find it kinda funny that im excited over surfing the web.. when im on the internet right now anyway, but, whatever. Â Â I just hope youtube will work. YOutube on a 50inch TV would be nice... Â Â EDIT: Wii Opera Browser is up, and pretty awsome. Â I hope it supports progressive scan, because it very blurry (but you can zoom in, so readin is not a problem) Â Everything works great so far, and i've been watching youtube videos no problem.
disneyfan1313 Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 wheeeeee! i'm the first person to post on tpr from my wii. the opera browser is available now.
disneyfan1313 Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Well I downloaded the beta version of the web browser and tried a few times to post on TPR but it doesn't seem to like to actually post. It will let me read all I want but no further than that. I'll try again when it is not 4 in the morning At least perhaps I was the first person to read TPR on a Wii?
DeliriumTrigger Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I'm using the browser now...Its not perfect but it is a beta... Â Youtube does work, a little choppy but not nearly as bad as I had expected.[/i]

darklingscribe Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I'm typing this on my Wii right now. Wow this is strange and slow going. Â On a side note I agree with Elissa that Rayman is the game to get. But beware it is insanely hard to close the outhouse doors in one of the minigames.
Blazen_AZN Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 ^ OMG, YES< that outhouse game ,i was really about to pull out a videocamera and record me playing that, becasue i was about to have an attack, i just could NOT do it! Â Especially the far right one. Â Â Whats with the multiple posts, is that a wii think or a TPR problem?
DeliriumTrigger Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Woah. I was getting 404 errors so I didn't think anything was going through. Hopefully a mod will catch and delete it soon. At least I'm not the only one who had the problem. Â At any rate it was a TPR issue. Couldn't post on PC nor Wii, or so I thought.
man Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Monkey "balls"Â LOL! You know I always say that even with the DS one... what can I say I love my super monkey balls especially on my wii
darklingscribe Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 ^ OMG, YES< that outhouse game ,i was really about to pull out a videocamera and record me playing that, becasue i was about to have an attack, i just could NOT do it! Especially the far right one.  It helps if you try to aim low when closing the door. Around the rabbids' crotch level seems to work the best.
SharkTums Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I didn't see double posts anywhere but this thread, so I'm thinking it did have something to do with the Wii.  As for Rayman, we never had an issue with the outhouse game. The two games that gave us the most trouble were the:  - 1st level of the Brain Ball thing - 1st level of the Ice Curling event thing  I so want to go play some more Rabbid Girls just wanna have fun!!! Oh, and I guess I better try out the browser too!
DeliriumTrigger Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I didn't see double posts anywhere but this thread, so I'm thinking it did have something to do with the Wii. I thought that too but some of my double posts were from my PC so it can't be just a Wii problem... Â As far as the browser, YouTube doesn't seem to be working anymore, even though it worked last night. Says I don't have Flash despite the fact that other Flash sites work fine. Anyone else have this problem?
SharkTums Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 posting from wii right now. hope this works!
Primogen18 Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 /\ it works. also, how easy is it to post? I saw a hack of when someone went online and it showed them using an on-screen keyboard, is that a little tiresome after a while? Id love for them to come out with a keyboard some time, like DC did.
