So is Deadly Creatures any good? It didnt look that great to me in any gameplay videos. Looked like a playstation 2 game circa 2001; graphics and gamplay.

There are quite a few good tutorials around. Since it sounds like you already have the HBC installed, you can skip the first few steps of getting that installed:

I thought if you updated your Wii, you basically updated your way out of the possibility of downloading the homebrew channel?

2/17/2009 11:37:18 AM

^ For now you can still downgrade. Now future updates, we might not be so lucky...

^^ Yes. Your firmware version has no effect on your ability to play online.

2/17/2009 12:44:28 PM

May 18th release date for Punch-Out

I guess that's the next time my Wii will get some attention. Still no word on Sin and Punishment 2.

Anyone playing MadWorld?

3/11/2009 8:25:42 AM

^It got an absolutely sparkling review from IGN and it is apparently one of the most over-the-top games ever in terms of violence

Quote :

"MadWorld, published by SEGA and developed by Platinum Games (formerly Clover Studios, best known for Okami and Viewtiful Joe) is so over-the-top violent and vulgar that by comparison the Grand Theft Auto series may as well be Mr. Rogers. In no other game, for example, can you grab hold of a leather-clad enemy and impale him anus first on a rusty spike, which penetrates his body and rips through his mouth in a bloody fountain on the other side."

3/11/2009 9:21:55 AM

The IGN review is what caused me to ask

I saw the video review, and they weren't kidding...it's pretty graphic

3/11/2009 10:26:58 AM

I'm interested to play the game. John Dimaggio (Bender from Futurama) does the voice of an announcer which makes me want to play it even more.

$50 for 5-6 hours of gameplay seems a little high IMO though.

3/11/2009 2:16:57 PM

5-6? eek.

3/11/2009 5:21:08 PM

I'm about 4 stages into Madworld... the commentators are pretty damn funny. Finding ways to dismember enemies is cool too. Definitely recommend picking it up

3/13/2009 10:35:58 PM

I'm looking really hard to find where it's not fifty bucks

3/13/2009 11:58:14 PM

newegg has it for 47

3/14/2009 12:04:05 AM

^^ I know where you can find it for 0 dollars.

"Son, turn the game box off and come over here. Now, since you turned 18 your mom and I have been meaning to talk with you about your little habit. No, not the smoking or the drinking. Really, we're fine with all of that. No, what we're concerned about is the time you spend exchanging friend codes with all those people in Animal Crossing: City Folk. We've been talking to Detective Andy Anderson of the Mid-Missouri Internet Crimes Task Force, who says that he "cannot come up with any legitimate reason that an adult would be playing that particular game." Now, heaven knows what you've been putting in all of those letters and gift boxes, but Anderson told ABC affiliate KMIZ that you, and others like you, are likely playing Animal Crossing and similar games "for the wrong reasons." Sure it's addicting, but it's also evil, so please, son, do us all a favor and put the controller down and go play something more your age. But before you go, tell your mom to put down that galdarned Peggle and bring me a turkey pot pie. I'm glad we had this little chat."

OK, you perverts, consider yourselves warned.

3/18/2009 1:11:11 PM

Tons of announcements today:

The SD Card Channel lets you play VC games off the SD card slot.

Virtual Console Arcade lets you play a bunch of old arcade games no one really cares about.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years on Wii Ware. Other FF games coming to VC and a new Crystal Chronicles game on Wii Ware.

Big news was for the DS though: Zelda: Spirit Tracks

3/25/2009 2:38:46 PM

Is anyone else following the ridiculousness surrounding the release of the Motionplus and Wii Sports Resort?

3/26/2009 6:03:19 AM

nope

do tell

3/26/2009 8:10:30 AM

It is just interesting to me that EA Sports is releasing Tiger Woods 09 with MP compatibility before Nintendo can get their own product straightened out for Wii Sports Resort. Therefore, SR is getting bumped back to a generic 2009 release as opposed to the prior Spring 2009 announcement.

3/28/2009 10:52:16 AM

What's a good wii game to get these days? Haven't gotten one in a while, I think my last was mario kart.

3/28/2009 4:03:10 PM

^ House of the dead:overkill and Madworld both got pretty good reviews and are pretty fun.


Updated my wii yesterday. The ability to load from SD cards has long been overdue, should have been available since launch. I was also able to retain the homebrew channel.

3/28/2009 9:06:44 PM

What is to stop someone from uploading their files from the SD file onto the internet and then people downloading them? Seems like nintendo could have made a wrong move... or is that not possible?

3/28/2009 10:52:28 PM

It's not possible. Unless you have the Homebrew Channel installed. But it was like that before the SD Channel even so Nintendo already lost that war.

3/29/2009 12:44:10 AM

Anybody gotten/played Pro Evo 09? Worth it?

3/31/2009 5:12:54 PM

Can anyone recommend a good multiplayer/party type game? Already have Smash Bros. & was looking to get Mario Galaxy, but wanted something with more than 1 player. Anyone?

3/31/2009 7:40:20 PM

^Mario Kart Wii

3/31/2009 7:46:12 PM

WarioWare, Boom Blox, NPC! Mario Tennis are all good multiplayer games as well.


Forgot about Bomberman Blast on wiiware

[Edited on March 31, 2009 at 8:02 PM. Reason : ]

3/31/2009 7:59:12 PM

warioware is cool but don't spend any money on it... it gets old fairly quick.

3/31/2009 8:01:17 PM

What's the deal with Wario Ware? Its not listed on Best Buy's site & new copies on Amazon are like $65...is it rare or something?

3/31/2009 9:05:11 PM

I would be willing to part with mine for $20, right after I advised not spending any money on it...

3/31/2009 9:28:29 PM

^I'll give you 20 for it, my old roommate had a copy, but I wouldn't mind a copy for myself.

I think it is fun. The whole series has been great, the only exception was the gamecube version and that was so-so.

3/31/2009 10:47:59 PM

Yeah Warioware Touched is pretty good, but ONLY for multiplayer. The single player gets old really quick. You can play up to like 12 people on the multiplayer.

I'd agree, except if you're really good and everyone isn't they get pissed in a hurry. I was also told I was a cheater b/c I used the wand and nunchuk instead of steering wheel

4/1/2009 1:14:19 PM

Europe received Zelda: Majora's Mask today on Virtual Console, rumor has it that we may get it on monday as well.

4/3/2009 10:07:19 PM

Couldn't find Wario Ware, ended up buying Mario Galaxy today & loving it

4/4/2009 9:35:22 PM

agreed galaxy is awesome, I need to finish it.

4/4/2009 10:28:30 PM

Anybody played the Final Fantasy game that just came out for this thing yet?

4/5/2009 9:55:11 PM

wii sports resort set for july

4/9/2009 5:53:20 PM

Great success!

i'd like to know as well - i didn't even know there was a FF game released for wii - i'm considering buying it but the reviews online say it was a game made for the DS and they basically just ported it over and it really lacks in a lot of ways

4/11/2009 12:12:59 PM

Wii Sports Resort to release July 26, Wii Motion Plus out June 8.

http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/E6yRJ1_M9EA1zDpxcGszYx3haYyy7TGF

Also, officially stated, this software will not increase the abilities of previously released games.

4/14/2009 7:40:54 PM

Also, Tiger Woods 2010 to ship with Wii Motionplus for $60 on 6/15.

In Europe it is being bundled with Grand Slam Tennis.

4/23/2009 7:53:52 AM

http://www.gamespot.com/wii/sports/grandslamtennis/video/6208352?tag=gumballs;subtitle;2

heres a cool video for grand slam tennis, if this really lives up to what is promised it should have a chance at game of the year (though it wouldn't happen)

of coures the controls aren't exactly "one to one" and it's not virtual reality but it looks like they have the angle of the face of the racket and the placement of it which is all you could ask for

4/23/2009 6:34:57 PM

I think a really fun party game is any of the Rayman's Rabbid Rabbits games. They are really silly but fun.

4/24/2009 1:30:15 PM

I have never been able to figure this out, so I figured I would ask.

In Tiger Woods, when you zoom to your target, and move the location to where it now says "74%", if you perform a full swing, does your 100% swing go to the 74% location? Or is that showing you that you should be swinging with your current club at a 74% swing to hit the mark you are attempting to aim for?

5/2/2009 4:22:26 PM

Uncertain, as I have not played any Tiger games since 07, when I got rid of my 360.

However, this edition of Tiger, for the Wii only, has a Frisbee Golf mode for each hole. With what all I have heard about the MotionPlus this should be pretty cool.

5/2/2009 4:42:11 PM

what about 07 then? I believe you could zoom in and change your % as well

5/2/2009 5:52:51 PM

^^ search for it on youtube

basically holding down the trigger assimilates holding a frisbee and it rotates with your wrist and controller. It is def going to open up Wii for a lot more interesting possibilities for games....
