hey guys, i just got a wii this morning and i have a little question for those with wiis as well. is it supposed to make a lot of noise when it turns on? we're talking dreamcast-level noise here. other than that loud booting noise it's fine, though. also, any games you guys can recommend? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can't say mine is noisy, but that could be because I don't have one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
although it varies with each specimen, women can make lots of noise when they're turned on. some scientists think it's a way to have more men join the game. a good old "the more the merrier" so to speak. games i like to play, apart from the classic master/slave and doctor/patient games, is the what i call jump-the-rabbit game. |

as soon as i saw your name in the Now Online list i knew you were going to be the first to respond. i don't know why, though. |

he was lucky i wasn't typing any faster |

that pointless comment was for braindance backwards. i don't who goDel's pointless comment was for, though. |
||||||||

Because I am helpful. It would have been easy to just take the piss out of you but I held back. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't who either. |
||||||||
|

thanks guys. you make me feel like a real jerk. |

type faster then. wii love yoo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let's make this topic even messier. i honestly don't think i'd return my wii even if the noise really was abnormal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know what it is with brits and piss, but they sure love taking it out of people. that might be why their teeth are always so yellow. |
||||||||
|
|

i'm still early on in my iPhone learning-curve. reviews say it will take a week before i'll be up to speed again. |
||||||||

That says more about your urinary habits than it does about Brits. No wonder you are such an accomplished author with 0 publications to his name. |

at least i'm not fat and bald !!!1111111 |

Pity the same can't be said about your mum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know what your sources are, but brits aren't supposed to have any teeth. when having reached adulthood they start to fall out. no exceptions. |

go buy zelda and rent paper mario |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i forgot about paper mario. have you tried trauma centre? by the way, your simpsons avatar is eerily similar to the one that'll be arriving in my inbox soon. i guess i'll have to get a haircut just so i can change it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard the trama center was just a remake with a few new operations. so if you played it for the ds you really arent going to be missing much if you skip this one. if you get a weeks rental on paper mario you will have plenty of time to beat it, no point in throwing down too much cash for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for the insider info. while you're here, could you tell me if your wii is noisy when you turn it on? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dupes |
||||||||

my mii is a better representation of me: mouth hanging open just a little in permanent shock, gigantic black eyebrows, hair dangerously close to a mullet. oh, how i miss my mii. |
||||||||
|

|
|
its not noisier than any other piece of technology ive used. if its making enough noise to where you are questioning it, you may want to trade it out if the store has another one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about if it makes this noise when you turn it on? CRRRANK. CRUNK. CHK-CHK-CHK. and then after that it's perfectly fine. if i didn't consider myself the luckiest man alive just to find a wii this morning, then maybe i'd return it. but wiis are still next-to impossible to find here. i wanna go home and play with my wii!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Well, that noise doesn't "sound" too good, although my dreamcast has always made that loud crunchy sound and to this day works like a charm. Did I mention its a first-generation DC? Granted, Sega and Nintendo are different companies, and the DC is widely known to be noisy. If I were you I'd try to get an exchange from the store just to be on the safe side. It's probably fine, but if you've got, say, a 14 day period to return it, now's the time to do so. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
one of these avatars is not like the others... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Get out, your avatar is too sexy for a thread about video games. Don't you realize there could be virgins in here??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
crank crunk !!! is never a good sound, i would call the store and let them know. unless they are bastards they should put you on a list to call when the get more wiis in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, if you havent played RE:4 yet, now is the time to buy. it only costs 30 moneys for the wii. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, just found the thread on that. i played it on gamecube back when it first came out and have been meaning to play through it again, so this seems like the perfect excuse. tomorrow i'll have to go out and pick up a big bagful of games. |
||||||||

As loud as a Dreamcast? My Dreamcast sounded like a Star Wars space battle when I played it. It was terrifying, but it still works. If my Wii was as loud as that, I would take it back. But I don't know if other Dreamcasts are as loud as mine. In my experience, the Wii is not nearly as loud as the 360 so I don't worry about it. If you're worried, take it back if possible, nothing to lose. |

PARDON? YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP. I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER MY DREAMCAST. update: i've been in contact with a home-dweller and they've reassured me that the wii hasn't been making any more noises. it may have been a false alarm. new question: which way do you put in discs? i put in wii sports with the data side facing towards the power light and it worked, and then i put in my gamecube copy of lego star wars (original trilogy edition) with the data side facing away from the power light and it worked as well. or maybe my memory's busted. seemed strange to me at the time. |

okay i think i got this whole wii thing figured out. virtual console + credit card = awesomeness. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which virtual console games does everyone own and which would you recommend? my current collection: super mario 64 star fox 64 shining force kid icarus bonk's adventure super mario world the legend of zelda: a link to the past pac-man games i regret getting: star fox 64 bonk's adventure games so awesome that they totally make up for the ones i regret getting: kid icarus shining force |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mario on nes is the one I play the most. besides that, sonic 1 and 2 roxxx. think I'll download breath of fire II when I can afford it (never) along with kid icarus. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also I chipped mine with a WiiKey. it's teh shizzle - just watch out whenever there's a firmware update (not very often), nintendo might screw you over. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm a totally lame Honest Gamer, i'm afraid, so no chipping or modding for me. i'll probably grab breath of fire 2 whenever it's released in north america. metroid comes out on monday and super metroid on the monday after -- definitely looking forward to those. i have the sonic mega collection so i don't have to bother with the two sonics, which are, admittedly, two of my most favourite video gameses. i spend more time playing virtual console games (with the godly classic controller) than i do actual wii games! |

My favorite games on the VC are Super Castlevania IV and its virtuosic soundtrack, Dynamite Headdy, and SHINING FORCE. I remember a big chunk of my usual parties, I'd use Gong, Zylo, Earnest, Hanzou, Musashi, Guntz, Tao, Arthur... some other guys... dunno if it was the best possible party but I fucking rolled over motherfuckers. Zylo wish his blazing speed could run ahead and lay waste to their front lines singehandedly. THE WOLFMAN COMETH MOTHERFUCKERS WHOOOO Why do you regret getting Star Fox 64? That game is a blast. Although I don't personally pay money for ROM dumps that don't even offer online play or leaderboards, I think the VC is a great thing for young'uns, those with scruples, and those without modded Xboxes. But there needs to be more hidden gems. Maybe the stuff that REALLY deserves a second life and more exposure will get it after the supply of popular stuff gets exhausted. Fucking Capcom ripping people off by releasing two similar Street Fighter games weeks apart from each other when they could have put out UN Squadron or Demon's Crest or something. Then they've got like X-men Mutant Apocalypse, but I guess licensed stuff like that can't happen. The legal stuff sucks sooooo much. To think we could be playing online Goldeneye or Perfect Dark if not for this legal bullshit. Fucksticks. |

my computer is so crappy that it can't even run nes games properly. think about it. and i don't plan on getting a new computer ever since i only use it for writing and net surfing. so for me the vc is a godsend. i'd say the best dude in shining force is domingo (sp?), the jellyfish monster that hatches out of an egg. i mean, he's a flying mage who takes damage like a steel tank. secretly my favourite warrior is jogurt. |
||||||||

|
|
about licensed stuff: konami has renewed their license on old tmnt games *just* for the vc, which to me is a good sign. the bad news is that they cost 100 points more. still, it bodes well for the future. and don't forget that some lode runner game that was previously japan-only was finally released here due to the vc. |

and n64 games have sharper textures. <3 |

Can't run NES games, that's hard to believe. Alternately you could download dreamNES, it has every NES game and runs perfectly on any Dreamcast, without modding. But I mean, don't do it. That's evil. But if someday you BECOME evil... you could totally do that. Why didn't you like Star Fox 64? Why didn't you like Star Fox 64? Why didn't you like Star Fox 64? Why didn't you like Star Fox 64? Why didn't you like Star Fox 64? Why didn't you like Star Fox 64? Why didn't you like Star Fox 64? Why didn't you like Star Fox 64? Why didn't you like Star Fox 64? Why didn't you like Star Fox 64? |

1) i don't find the sound bites as hilarious as i should. 2) the graphics are really drab. 3) the controls are far too convoluted for my tastes. we're talkin' counter-intuitive here. things i like: 1) the characters are full of exuberant personality. 2) you have to beat it all in one shot. 3) great title screen. i just don't think it aged as well as nostalgia-seekers would hope. this was my first time playing it since i had missed out on it during the n64 days. |

i bought mario kart 64 and tecmo bowl. i'd get more but i'm pissed cuz i had a nes simulator on my phone with 50 games but it got stolen earlier this year so i don't really feel like paying for the few they even offer. i only bought the points cuz i swear i seen they had nhl 99 on there, which of course they don't. but i do actually have a 64 and the nhl 99 game cartridge i just don't have a controler. |

the only other game i'd buy right now would be james bond 007 golden eye when and if they ever port it. |

Certain Rare games will not be available at all apparently, Goldeneye being one of them. |
