as for the cups ~ its a lot easier if you play with friends  | |

as for playing with friends.. i do, but that bitch daisy is pissing me off lol. and DKs thunder slam too.
how do you do those specials..? like how mario grows, waluigi makes walls,bowser jr screams etc. the only thing bowser is able to do is breath fire but i rarely get that item. it seems like the computer gets abilities every 30 sec.

i cant wait for resident evil re: chronicles and re5 |
so is the fad and hype finally dying down?
I know a few friends that got a wii for at least half a year and there are no more wii parties and no one seems to touch their wii anymore...
yet they are still selling out to those that dont own one yet...

The Wii's Virtual Console is a huge selling point as well, I've downloaded quite a few games, although havent played most of them, they will be great to go back and play whenever your bored etc.
for me, i've probably spent over 600$ on my Wii, and I cant say i'm disapointed or let down even if I do hardly play it anymore

i planning to get a Wii in the next week or so...
I want to have 3 or 4 wii motes for friends. Is it necessary to buy a nunchuck for each wii mote you own?
How many games take advantage of the nunchuck ?

you can also share... i have 2 wii motes/nunchucks and then 2 classic controllers...
the VC is very fun also... especially with friends... games like Street Fighter Turbo, Streets of Rage 2, Mario Bros and shit are fucken fun to re-play... especially with the same friends you played with when they first came out...

I was wondering, if i decided to get a wiikey installed, will I have any problems upgrading the software/firmware of my wii later on?
Especially if the newer games require a firmware upgrade..

i'm pretty sure modding ur wii is 99% save ~ yes they are making the wii harder to mod ~ but why not just make a fw to render the chip useless in the first place ~ the most i ever see nintendo doing is follow the 360 route and ban the online play on the console if it ever comes to that which i highly doubt ~ and my god... 100bux to mod a wii ~ the chip only cost 30bux and they buy them in bulk... nice way to rip someone off for a 20min job ~

anyway, i think i'll just wait | I just bought a Wii two days ago and got one of those legless ones (D2B chips).
Found an awesome modder on Craigslist who said they could do the legless mod.
His name is Gav and I went to his place in Surrey to do it. He does it out of a nice living room in his house. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Took around 40 minutes, but he has a TV or wireless Internet for you while you wait...
The mod came out perfect. Couldn't be happier with it.
