The Official Nintendo Wii Discussion Thread

[Calaway Park]

I have the money for a Wii, but I can't find one ANYWHERE.

[man]

And what's with the "Happy Quanza" I recieved earlier?

Just sending everyone some random holiday wishes!

I didnt get any

[Primogen18]

Sorry if I didnt sift through this topic much, but has anyone used the photo sharing channel much? Have you sent any pictures online yet? Just wondering what the capabilities of that are so far. -Thanks

[ParkTrips]

haha, I was just discussing that last night...

[SharkTums]

We haven't done the picture thing yet, but we've gotten some in that were pretty cool.

I have Super Monkey Ball and am already kind of sick of it... If anyone has a wii game that they want to get off their hands, we could trade!

 

Otherwise, my Wii is fun. Zelda is good (but annoying in the sense that I don't really enjoy puzzles...) and Wii sports is just awesome! My dad was even playing with me.

 

I'm thinking of buying Rayman and Elebits. How is Elebits? Whats single player for Rayman like?

[SharkTums]

^I really liked the single player on Rayman. It's funny, has a cute story and cut scenes, but you can also play through it pretty quickly.

[rcoasters]

I only played Wii Sports and Zelda so far and I am really hooked to Zelda ! I don't see time passing while I play it. I've been playing for 2:30 today and I thought I had played for about an hour ...

Elebits is awsome all you do is destroy your house and neighberhood. Although I wanna trade some custom maps with people, but no one has it.

I'm torn between two games, I got enough credit and money to get Lost Planet and one Wii game, and I want to get either Wii Play with the remote too or Warioware, which one should I get?

[Masked_Maverick]

I didn't have the money and found one at a Gamestop earlier this morning.

[CoasterCrazy]

I think you should buy WarioWare!

 

I have seen videos of it on the internet and I can't wait to play it. Does anyone know when Warioware comes out?

[SharkTums]

January 15th or something like that...

 

Wii Play February 12th

[Masked_Maverick]

Warioware comes out that soon? I love the Warioware games. ANy indication on how many mini games it is going to have on it?

[Sir Clinksalot]

Okay, so Wii sports rocks.

 

Where else can you beat the crap out of your kids and get away with it.

 

The training thing is AWESOME!!! I love the Bowling and trying to knock down 91 pins and the skills practice thing.

 

On the boxing the one where the trainer throws the ball at you and hit's you is hilarious!!! I couldn't stop laughing.

Wii Connection Problems:

 

We have an old router from Time Warner... Here's the deal:

 

I followed Nintendo's instructions to put all of the custom IP address things in etc. The connection works great! However, when I try to update the Wii, it downloads for about 10 minutes and then says "Wii cannot connect to the internet. Please try again later." On the host computer, an error sign pops up in the utility bar saying "Error with I/P address (Or something)" and the internet blanks out for a few minutes. I tried connecting it to our Nintendo USB connecter, but it's too far away (First floor den <-> Basement) Does anyone know how I could diagnose this problem?

 

p.s. The router works fine with all of our other laptops.

Thanks!

I can't wait until Warioware next month! I love that whole series, and the Wii version looks like it won't disappoint!

 

It looks like it'll have the usual 200 or so microgames. As usual, there will also be a few more fleshed out minigames, but not sure how many there will be (but I have seen screen shots of a 3rd person Balloon Fight-type game!)

Call Nintendo.

 

We also have an older router and it worked fine without having to do anything special. But we use our Nintendo USB connector because it works flawlessly!

 

Also, I use the Nintendo USB connector and people from all the way across the other side of the building on other floors can connect to my hub. Have you tried connecting to the USB connector?

 

Sounds like the problem is on your equipments end.

Mine works fine with the wireless router I have, no hassle or anything.

 

^Got your Mii's, sent you two more in return!

North America is the only region where Wii Play wasn't a launch title.

 

I played Wii Shooting at my local mall though, and it was a blast!

[SharkTums]

Each 'territory' got a different exclusive Nintendo Launch Title.

 

WiiPlay

Excite Truck

Wario Ware

Are they going to do Wii Play without the Wiimote? I mean, I already have 4 Wiimotes...kinda pointless to have 5 of them...I guess the only option is to sell one to a friend.
