DKC is awesome and everything, but the controls when you use a GC controller are a little difficult :/

The Y and B buttons are a bit far from each other, and awkward to use together (you have to press/hold them at the same time frequently).

Gotta run to FS/BB ASAP and get me a classic controller so it can feel just like the original SNES version :D

New Adventure Island (WII)
Sonic & the Secret Rings (WII)
Donkey Kong Country (WII)
Streets of Rage (WII)
Legend of Kage (WII)

games out for this week

The only one of those that is ACTUALLY a game made and built for Wii is Sonic & The Secret Rings :)

The rest are as follows:

New Adventure Island = TurboGrafx-16
Donkey Kong Country = SNES
Streets of Rage = Sega Genesis
Legend of Kage = NES

anyone play sonic yet? i'm interested in getting it but want to see some reviews first.

lol but its still coming out for the "Wii" just the VC part of the Wii

Yeah, okay, I gotcha...

Might have made more sense to leave out Sonic & The Secret Rings though, then ;)

check rogers video stores around for wiimotes and nunchuks

i got my wii and controllers on monday night, 20 mins before closing at the north burnaby one. they had 2 wii and 4 controllers sitting there all day.

Anyone bought those rechargeable batteries for the Wiimote yet?

Saw a 3rd party Rechargeable at Best Buy the other day

basically it replaces the battery cover on the original Wiimotes with the Rechargeable/lithium batteries attach to it

it also comes with a docking station..

on sale for $30 or something.. kinda hesitant to pick it up due to being a 3rd party.... and its bad enough that its not madcatz or any of those crap accessories...... its unheard of company..

got wiiplay today -- now to find time to actually play it

Dude, you should just buy rechargeable Lithium Ion AA batteries b/c they'll be under and you can also use them for other shit besides your Wii.

Exactly. Get some 2500 mAH AA's for like $10. Only issue is they are quite a bit heavier than normal AA's and these lithium packs

i just use energizer 2500 mah nimh

SONIC is out ..saw it today on the shelf at best buy

adding a little weight to the wiimotes isnt a bad thing i'm thinkin

I have sonic i will be writing one of my reviews of it after ive played it for a bit

The Game is Intresting..... i dont like the jumping though... its not too hard to get used to the controls... the story line is making me go wtf though... its weird.... and the graphics are ok... when you go inbetween levels how they go on from the story sucks its just a picture and a someone telling you...

so far its alright though...

seriously??? after what you went through to get it??? d*mn i hope you sold it for a good chunk of cash

they just announced Splatterhouse for VC!!!!!! sweet!!! ahh I finally get to own all these TG16 games I stood up and played on CompuCentre's demo machine all those years ago

OOT came out on the VC today as well, gonna have to buy more points lol

i'm likin the collection of VC games i've got on my wii, think i have 10 or 11 now

I actually had a TurboGrafx-16... It was the first game system that I got when I came to Canada, and I loved it more than the SNES! (at the time)

I am waiting on a couple games for TG-16 to come out on VC: Keith Courage & The Alpha Zones, and Yo' Bro!

Yo' Bro had a licensed soundtrack of a few Beach Boys songs, which I used to love as a kid :D

Yeah dude. My original Wii unit had a memory problem and I took it to Nintendo and they replaced it free under warranty. They gave me a brand new console and managed to transfer all my data - HOWEVER... I wasn't able to edit my Mii's on the new console :(

So I basically said fuck it and just sold it all away in hopes I'd find another Wii soon and just mod it.

Unfortunately, I've been looking and it seems like there are less and less chances of getting a Wii. Guy at superstore said the Nintendo rep told them it'll probably be 2 months until you can walk into a store and pick one up.

On a brighter note: I got a mod for my NDS! Something to hold me over till I get another Wii :)

aight im gonna say it.. and this is gonna rock your world guys.


BRING BACK SUPER SCOPE X6 ON VC!!! :lol


that is all.

Man, I should open my Wii. It's been two weeks, and I haven't even broken the seal on the box yet!

seal? I bought 2 Wiis (one for me and one for a friend) and I dont remember seeing a seal?

come on, u bought a wii and hasn't open it for 2 weeks?

There's no seal on the Wii box, if memory serves me correctly... (ie: no sticker, unlike the PS3)

i believe there was a blue sticker that you had to cut to open the box. Not to mention how everything is placed and wraped around so carefully. I can barely put the 2 blue boxes and manuals in the main box, let alone the console again.
