should have shot me off a pm. PIcked it up at 12:30 pm at futureshop. They were just opening the boxes.

MarkyMark 11-14-2007 12:35 AM

I got it from Futureshop today as well, I had to ask for it though they were selling it from under the counter for whatever reason.

Kalize 11-14-2007 09:54 AM

Hondaracer 11-14-2007 04:00 PM

got mine yesterday from eb, kinda odd playing upside down but pretty cool, havn't had that much time to play it yet but seems super cool

ForbiddenX 11-14-2007 04:50 PM

Getting Mario Galaxy, can't wait to wipe the dust off of my Wii.

dub.g 11-14-2007 05:00 PM

Wii is just nothing more than a party console..

Mario Galaxy and Zelda were only the 2 games that i played as a gamer, the rest of the games are either a quick play on mini games or just when having buds over

the 2 games i highly recommend if u guys are into rail shooters (like Time Crisis) is Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles and Ghost Squad (which is a successor to Virtua Cop)..

been playing Ghost Squad since last week, really fun game..

i tried Zak and Wiki and its a really clever point and click game but the text based dialogues really really gets annoying, it keeps popping up and interrupting your game..

im just waiting for a really good game or an RPG game to come out for the Wii

if ur hardcore enough u can finish the standard 60 star requirement to finish Galaxy within a week or 3 days..

if u wanna take the entire 120 stars, it will definitely take you longer.. im on my 107th so far, and i still need to unlock a few secrets, wait til the part where you have to catch 3 bunnies in a planet with a certain time limit, that can be a bitch just grabbing a star...

or collecting coins to get a star while a platform is moving, if u miss one coin, u gotta re start the level again

but the challenge is really fun..

dub you should try Metroid Prime 3, the OTHER real game on the Wii.

Also, Virtual Console is great.

Besides that yeah, Wii kinda sucks for real gamers.

Hondaracer 11-14-2007 05:47 PM

Man galaxy is a trip

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.

Anyone here with a modded DC2? Where did you get it done and how much?

omg, how can i forget about that game... lol i totally forgot that it came out like 2 months ago

hows the controls? im pretty sure its much better than Red Steel or MoH: Vanguard right?

im dling MoH: Heroes, apparently its much better than Vanguard and has an arcade/rail shooting game..

Mario and Sonic at the Olympics is trippy.. the game is an ok party game but im still not used to seeing Mario or Sonic on the same screen....
considering how i was raised from the Nes/Megadrive days.......

ForbiddenX 11-17-2007 11:29 AM

How do I tell if my Wii is modable? and what type of mod I am looking for?

LsquareD 11-20-2007 02:59 PM

I was deciding on which game to buy yesterday.. RE: Umbrella Chronicles, Mario Galaxy or MOH: Heroes 2

I deicded to buy MOH:H2 since it has online 32 player coop mode xD The campaign is pretty sweet. If you like first person shootin games.. this game is for you. Controls are creative too

Hondaracer 11-20-2007 09:27 PM

+1 for galaxy, the sound track is epic

dub.g 11-20-2007 09:49 PM

Umbrella Chronicles is actually pretty fun,

for a rail shooter, surprisingly it has some depth...

funny stuff when u start slashing leeches off your screen..

im still waiting for MoH: Heroes, i heard it has an arcade rail shooter option as well...

as for Forbiddenx's question

as far as i know, all Wii consoles are still moddable

if you can do the soldering install the wiikey yourself, do it on a wii that u bought before March of this year

otherwise, if bought after that, get someone you know or a place to do it for you because its harder for the newer consoles to get the chip installed..

MoH: Heroes 2 is already out :)

$49.99 at Futureshop. They didn't have any on the shelves.. But I asked if they had any in the back.. So they guy went to check if they have any in stock on the computer and I saw: "Quantity: 34" :lol

Yup, it also has a Rail-shooter Arcade mode.

3 different playing modes: Campaign, Arcade and Online multiplayer.

dub.g 11-21-2007 12:48 AM

err when i said im waiting for MoH: Heroes, i meant to say im waiting for it to finish downloading..

in which i shouldnt discuss any further.. :p


but how are the controls?

i was playing MoH Vanguard and the controls were glitchy as fuck...

you jump by flicking the nunchuck up

u crouch by flicking the nunchuck down

you reload by flicking the nunchuck to the right

and you turn 180 degrees when u flick the nunchuck the left...

which is not a good formula at all.. the nunchuck was hardly detecting the right moves. majority of the time i was trying to reload, i was crouching:2finger:

LsquareD 11-21-2007 01:44 AM

Controls are pretty easy and creative.

In MoH:H2 .. you can't jump :(

Crouch = Control Pad - Down
Reload = Control Pad - Up or flick Wiimote up or down

What bothers me the most is that the aiming/viewing vertical and horizonal was a bit too sensitive for me. But you can lower it in the option menu :) and the 180 degree turn you mentioned is still the same almost (need to hold C as well while flicking the nunchuk to the left)

I love how the rocket launcher works. You have to put the wiimote on your shoulder (pointing it behind you) and B to fire :p

honda_h2o 11-21-2007 08:55 AM

Yeah I gotta admit the first MoH was pretty damn sad. They gave it some decent ratings on MoH2 I will test it out too and see if its alot better than the first one.

Hondaracer 11-21-2007 03:47 PM

^ the first MOH turned me off the series forever, i cant belive they would put out such a pile of garbage even for the Wii

i probably played it a total of 9 minutes before i traded it in at EB towards my PS3

ewong 12-03-2007 12:19 AM

Hey so I got the wii key and I updated my firmware, but when I tried playing mario galaxy this message saying I need to do some system updates keeps popping up and it concerns me because I don't wanna turn my wii into a brick. And there's no way to avoid the update.

Basically I update the NA version of the firmware and I believe my copy of the mario galaxy is also NA so would it matter if I update it?

dub.g 12-03-2007 12:34 AM

i went through the same phase

after updating my wiikey firmware, i put in my mario galaxy game and asked for an update


believe me, it took me a day until i made the decision to update it

i just went through some forums on wiikey on google, and all users did the same thing, when asked for update, they did update it with the game


so its safe,just click update..

mario strikers does the same thing too, asked u for an update


look through wiikey forums on google just to be sure..

FINALLY, I FOUND A WII in a local gamestop shop!!

anyway.

I am looking to buy some games online and after reading through a couple pages here, I think most ppl here would recommend

moh 2: vanguard
resident evil
mario galaxy
ghost squad.

I think I am only gonna get 2 or maybe 3 of them. What is the order you guys would recommend?

I am not a hardcore gamer and I love shooting games~
