Nintendo Wii MEGATHREAD!

Mario Kart 64 was my 2nd favourite game on the 64 (after Smash Bros) and the DS version barely left my DS till I got it chipped.

The Wii game while damn fun in multiplayer and multiplayer online, is annoying to unlock everything. I've actually stopped playing as I find no enjoyment on the Bikes or the 100cc class that forces me to ride them.
I'm sure I'll get back into it sometime, just not anytime soon.

I think the main problem with the Wii's Mario Kart is that with the extra racers you have 3 more people who are likely to get items that will hit you when you are in first. Not only that but they introduced the POW block that gets everyone.
I have yet to make it through a race without being hit by something like a blue shell, thunder or POW

Also, why in the world did they get rid of Boo?!?!?! I don't get it. That item was totally fine, why did they have to take it out?
I actually found it handy. Your in 1st place, dragging a banana and you have a fake item in hold, boo takes fake item and you now have another chance to get a shell or another banana without having to drop your current defence.

De Blob is Awesomesauce smothered in Awesomesauce!

So very very cool. Only played the opening level and lots of multiplayer, but so far colour me impressed, physics work, particle emitters are brilliant, and sound effects superb!

Multiplayer is a nice addition, and since its so easy to pick up and play both the gf had a blast as well.

Soundtrack is beautiful.

Gonna ressurect this baby, sorry guys.

Yeha I might look into that TP Hack. I'm salivating over Tatsunoko Vs Capcom as well. There is next to zero chance that will ever come outside of Japan.

I have the TPHack runnign on my wii and have had no problems( Touch wood), the region loader works well too. I deliberately found and bought a cheap verison of US No More Heroes (with 100% extra Blood!) just to give it a test out.

Now that Kurdt alerted me to Tatsunoko vs Capcom, I have a good reason to keep the homebrew running(I love the Vs Capcom series)! When I found capcom, I also discovered Taiko no Tatsujin (a fave sereis of mine) for Wii too! Huzzah! too bad I discovered after the dollar went down. Ends up becoming a bit owies.... But Happy Christmas as they are both released on the 11th December!

Taiko no Tatsujin (Drum Champion) Also in Japanese.

In my Wii noobness I can't seem to get the second controller (2-player) active for House of the Dead 2+3 and Carnival games.
My children are suffering for it.
Any tips would be rewarded with 1 years supply of good karma and my gracious gratitude.

Is the secind crontroller sync'ed to the wii properly? If its new, each controller will have to be synced

Ahhhh that may be it. I never sync'd it when I bought it but it works fine on Sonic/Mario Olympics. May I ask how do I go about syncing it?

I'm not game enough to try the TPHack homebrew. But man! I didn't know Tatsunoko vs Capcom was to be released for the Wii too! I would get that game just for the appearance of Gold Lightan. But fat chance seeing a local release here.

Its Ok Kyle, you can come over to my place and have a go

Apparently Capcom are working hard to get ot into America, but they are having troubles because of the licensing of the Tatsunoko characters.

Much like the problem that struck Namco X (cross) Capcom I guess.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom is out via play-asia. Not the best of prices especially after shipping due to the dollar crisis. But I am getting VERY tempted to do the hack and pay the asking price for the game.

What to do, what to do....
