Zelda Forest Temple

im abit stuck in the forest temple... lame i know but i ran out of lantern oil! how do i get more? i cant go back to the strange lantern guy because i cant get though the fog without a lantern lol thanks a lotZelda Forest Temple
you have to have the lantern in the forest temple? If you dont have to have it than go on without any oil. If you do, i dont know what to say.Zelda Forest Temple
there is this part that you need it to get a peace of heart other than that i don't think you need it...just come back to the temple when you have more.
its for the third monkey, there are 2 lights in the room for the two steps to get up to it, its in the room with the strange creatures which pop up from the floor
There is a shop just outside the forest temple that sells oil and health potion. Its run by a bird
thank you very much :) i didnt know it sold oil, i just thought it was health potions! Thanks again!!

cod5?

Why is COD5 the #1 game? Did I miss some big announcement or something?cod5?
No clue why its #1. nothing big was announced.cod5?
Gamespot probably through it up there at #1 to show everybody.
i cant wait for this to come out on the wii. maybe the online will be good with voice chat. It might even be a wii pay and play
I dont no why its up there but its GS. Im pretty sure this game going to be a stupid port. Its also for the Ps2 but really cant say anything yet since there isnt enough info. Ill just wait for an exclusive. Conduit looks to have a lot of promise. I hope they come out with another MoHH game for the wii. MoHH2 had perfect controls:D
Infinity ward not making this game, makes the game = dog poop. I don't know why anyone is excited.... its going to be CoD3 all over again....... I hate CoD3, i couldn't shoot between grave stones, a clear open area. and they made it so i can't shoot through it ???? LAZY DEVS FOR CoD5 = NO GOOD !!!!!

    Who is going to buy super smash bros bra ...

    is anyone going to buy super smash bros brawl?i looked at the gameplay and it is so sweat!!! ive played super smash bros melee and tht was a awsome game!!i hope there are more games like this in the future!!!Who is going to buy super smash bros bra ...
    well already millions of people have bought this game.Who is going to buy super smash bros bra ...
    i will get it..when it finally comes to europe..
    i live in the UK so it is not out till june 27th
    Hell no, because I already bought it......



    It's an ok game....
    I already own it.
    i prefer the speed feeling in melee but i love that they took wavedashing from brawl
    I voted hell no and I live in the US. I just am not one for the franchise. Gave it a try on 64...and gamecube. not my style.
    Where's the ''I got mine already'' option? Well, I have one already and I don't need to buy another one so I'll just hang on to it *hugs copy of Brawl*
    I live in Canada so I got mine on March 9th.
    A little late asking who got it aren't we? Already got mine 2 months ago.
    Absolutely! Cant wait for it down here in Australia, Nintendo have really been taking their time
    Hes European guys..I have the 2nd one sold in my city. Went to the store at 10:00 pm, no one there, stood in line for 3 hours, and I got it.(Went with a friend)
    YES I AM FROM EUROPE THATS WHY I AM ASKING GOD!!!!
    hell no. because i did not buy it, I'm got it as a present :D
    [QUOTE=''heroofwinds1'']i will get it..when it finally comes to europe..[/QUOTE] I got a US version but im still gonna get the european version when it comes out. I dont want have to use the Freeloader everytime i want to play Brawl forever!

    [QUOTE=''Felmo_07'']Absolutely! Cant wait for it down here in Australia, Nintendo have really been taking their time[/QUOTE]june 26th is the date for australia i think :)well according to target
    I'll purchase it eventually.Not at the top of my list,though.
    Silly question!I have technically already bought my copy :D Pre - Ordered, being dispatched in time for Launch :D
    Own it since launch date.

    Boom Blox or Blast Works?

    Both look like great games and I can't pick between them, which should I get? Which game has MORE replaybility because both has a level creator and online trade mode. I'm leaning towards which one gets more better reviews and it would help to know the price of these games, HELP! Or should I just get Okami?Boom Blox or Blast Works?
    I've heard lots of good things about Boom Blox and nothing about Blast Works. I've only played Okami and that game is stellar.Boom Blox or Blast Works?
    Also, it would be better if the game was multiplayer and has super replayability cuz me and my brother love playing brawl and mkwii, but we dropped smg, loz:tp, mp3, and re4wii after 4 play through each.
    id say get blast works if you like shooting and building levels and sharing things with people online
    Boom Blox... but if its out of the 3 on the poll, then Okami, duh.

    What's Left?

    What does the Wii still have going for it now that Mario Kart is out and Wii Fit is on the horizon. Is the mighty going to fall this year ?What's Left?
    Well ToS is coming and we are getting a lot of wii ware games. Some titles might come back like starfox and pikminWhat's Left?
    Im sure there will be plenty of new games to see at this years e3
    E3. Star Fox, Pikmin 3, Animal Crossing, Kid Icarus, F-Zero other 3rd party games like Spore, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Rock Band. I don't think Wii will be running out of games anytime soon.
    The Wii has four or five years left, Nintendo isn't going to stop making software for it.
    [QUOTE=''aransom'']The Wii has four or five years left, Nintendo isn't going to stop making software for it.[/QUOTE]I wouldn't be that generous, I think the Wii only has 3 to 3.5 years left.
    In my opinion, there are plenty of good games. As said previously, expect good things at E3. Pikmin 3, Animal Crossing Wii, Kid Icarus Wii (all good stuff) and of course the BIG holiday game made by the creatores of Mario and Zelda.

    Think wiiware will be midnight release o ...

    A midnight online release would rock!Think wiiware will be midnight release o ...
    It wouldn't matter to me. Just get it in the morning.Think wiiware will be midnight release o ...
    i Cheked IGN.com They think that nintendo will probaly relase it early tomarrow morning(not midnight)or late tomorrow evning
    11:59 pm
    I'd guess noon tomorrow. Same thing the VC does.
    It will be 9am pacific time same as a VC update, only instead of getting VC updates this monday it will be Wiiware titles.
    I'm assuming it will be like all VC game releases. Monday, 9:00 AM PT.

    No more heros.....

    is a pretty good game the boss battles are amazing and the combat is addicting. sure their are some repetitive activities but w/e we need more games like this on the wii.No more heros.....
    real talk. sadly Goichi Suda is one of the few dev's who took a chance on the Wii with a mature game and unfortunately the end results werent that good (sales wise). The critics loved it as well as the people who bought it but the units it moved were a bit dissapointing. Plus the game needed some improvements. Hopefully mr. Suda will do a sequel and work much harder on it.and anyone who is gonna come in here and tell me i'm wrong about mature games on the wii not selling well (you know who you are) dont bother wasting your time because I will just ignore you. I stand by my wordsNo more heros.....

[/QUOTE]Wrong.Heroes was originally a 360 game, until Suda's boss told him to port it to the Wii. By the time they re-registered the name, it became a TV show in America, so they had to change it to No More Heroes to skirt copyright. So we shouldn't be thanking Suda 51, we should be thanking all of Grasshopper.It warms my heart to hear so many people picking up NMH. I guess the Wii really is re-inventing the market for games. Now a price drop isn't the death of a game's retail, but a new beginning at a different price point. It really is broadening the range games can sell for, and is making companies happy to price games at budget and still make a profit.
    People know where I stand on the game...The good:
    • Great story
    • Awesome art design
    The bad:
    • Technically awful with inexcusable frame rate and collision problems
    • Some of the worst motion controls on the console. Just wag for any action and you'll complete it.


    The game was just boring to me and I have no idea how people liked it in the first place.

    It was a fun game... I don't know why it just really didn't do a lot for me though... Not to much to do after beating it IMO. OK story, OK gameplay... I bought this game because ppl said it was such a great game when it came out... I wish I didn't believe it. I could have done without playing it, but I'm kinda glad I did. I'm So-So either way about this game.

    Suda wanted to make it for the 360, one of his superiors said ''No you want to make it for the Wii'' and Suda said ''are you sure'' meaning that he didn't want to do it to which he was told to make it for the Wii.That's what we like to call a threat. Suda had one platform in mind and the CEO came in and said ''no you wont be making it for the 360 you'll make it for the Wii instead''By not coming out with a direct threat Suda still kept face and just made it for the Wii.Make no mistake. Suda was the wayward dog and the CEO had to give his leash a slight tug before he went in the right direction.

  • what 2 get

    can some1 give me a suggestion to a couple of virtual console games to geti already have super castlevania 4, gunstar heroes, legend of zelda link to the past, super mario bros, mario kart 64, legend of zelda ocarina of time, and paper mario

    What would you like to see at E3?

    In relation to the Wii, what would you like to see?Personally, I'd like for FCs to be either eliminated or seriously streamlined.What would you like to see at E3?
    I want somethin new for us hardcore lol...i actually want to see Disaster: Day of Crisis....ive been waiting fr it ssince it was announced at E306What would you like to see at E3?
    i want to see an external hard drive so DLC is possible, and maybe some wii-sclusive titles that will do great like mario etc
    I want to seem DLC for Brawl so they can put Roy back into it! :cry: Also its not going to happen but the rid of hassle of friend codes would be amazing.
    I really want a solution to the storage problem most of all, and that the saturn will be added to the VC.
    the only thing i really want is that nintendo announces a new zelda for wii.if that happens i will be just fine..
    [QUOTE=''heroofwinds1'']the only thing i really want is that nintendo announces a new zelda for wii.if that happens i will be just fine..[/QUOTE]exactly, not that twilight princess is bad, but it could have been better if nintendo decided to release it on the Wii only and not release iton the gamecube as well. because of that, TP got some disappointing graphics. well TP is beautiful, its art style i mean, but the wii could produce much better graphics than that. Nintendo should make another zelda game for the wii, with the same kind of art style, but improve it to make it truly a zelda game for the Wii and not some port from the GC.I loved TP, but just not satisfied. They need to make another zelda game for the Wii before next gen.
    • Plans for ''Pay to Play''
    • More uses for the Nintendo Channel such as demos for Wii games
    • Fix for storage problems

    Games:
    • Kid Icarus
    • Pikmin 3
    • Donkey Kong platformer / 64 sequel
    • Animal Crossing details
    • Anything on what Retro is working on
    More than one of those unannounced games being revealed on the same day would be a dream come true.
    3 Words, Wii Hard Drive!! There I said it!
    1. StarFox (Wii)2. Pikmin 33. Kid Icarus DS4. Short Preview of Next Zelda game.5. Wii Music6. Kirby Wii7. A microphone for Wi-fi
    The ability to store things on SD cards and run data like VC games off them directly.
    Storage Solution.
    1-DLC/better internet support (FC)2-A new Zelda (I really liked WW, so something similar would be great)3-F-Zero4-Pikimin/DK/Star Fox5-something new that really pushes the Wii.
    A new installment in a series, like the new Kid Icarus officially announced, a new F-Zero, or a new Star Fox.
    I want another installment of The Legend Of Zelda series, and hopefully it will be out by Fall of '08 to Spring of '09.

    [QUOTE=''Bio_Spark'']All game developers hate Europe. It's a smaller market than Japan or North America. At least they hate Australia even more.[/QUOTE]Yeah, this is basically the reason why Europe gets the games later. Not as many people buy the games there, and the income isn't as great as countries with a higher demand for games. The good thing is Europe usualyl gets the game a short while after (except in the case of Brawl, I suppose).
    It's not europe they hate, but i bet they hate the different standards in allowed content and distribution.
    That and we're still perceived as cavemen by some.
    I can't say Nintendo hates Europe at all, since there are many factors going into why games are released in Europe last, one being it takes longer to translate the game into so many regional languages seeing as there are so many different countries for the games to be released in, although that's not just Nintendo doing that it's all Publishers, and secondly the vast majority of games are Developed/Published in either North America or Japan so I am pretty sure they want the games released in those countries first but Nintendo has been getting a lot better with release dates, Super Mario Galaxy was released every where worldwide in the space of about a week, and despite the delay in Brawl, Mario Kart Wii was was released here first as was Mario Strikers Charged, so if anything Nintendo are trying to give Europe games first too and not just ones no one would care about seeing as Mario Kart is one of their key titles.
    If Nintendo hated Europe, they wouldn't sell anything there.
    At least you got the only Zelda game not released in the US and probably will never come to the US

    [QUOTE=''Jakendo'']At least you got the only Zelda game not released in the US and probably will never come to the US
    [/QUOTE]I want that, but ''sadly'' I am an American. :P
    yeah thats why u have the nintendo lub
    Actually Australia gets games later than EU and the Wii isn't even out in China yet so I suppose they hate those regions a little more.
    Europe is the old continent. It's called like that because we're growing old waiting for Brawl (and any other game for that matter).

    well they made a 3D model of kid icarus for brawl they could just use that for a new Kid Icarus game. after all, they brought Metroid to the world of 3D in Metroid Prime. the only thing left to bring to 3D is Ice Climbers (not counting the smash brothers games), although i don't know kinda game Ice Climbers can be other than ice climbing.

''Pretty game'' - Factor 5 are known to make good looking games and push the systems hardware.Later on Craig was talking about Kid Icarus while refering to Matt's top anticipated list, which the game happened to be in.

  • Whey hey, how good is Mario Galaxy!

    Just picked up a wii and Mario yesterday and wow what a great game. It is just a joy to play and i look forward to buying Smash Bros, Mario Kart and all sorts of other mario games.What did/do you guys think to Mario Galaxy, even after playing it for a long while?Whey hey, how good is Mario Galaxy!
    still amazingWhey hey, how good is Mario Galaxy!
    With only minor exceptions, it's a masterpiece of level design and music.
    It's a great game. The only parts I didn't much enjoy were the purple coin missions. They weren't very hard, just long and sort of tedious. Still, even they had their moments.
    I couldnt help but be overwhelmed with the feeling of ''been there done that'' with the game. just another rehashed mario game as far as I'm concerned. Dull, boring, repetitive, and un-impressive. I traded it in for No more heroes like 6 weeks after I bought it.
    if im honest, after 30 stars i got bored
    Everything about Super Mario Galaxy was absolutely amazing. While the level design stood out as the main... awesomeness of the game, (I wish I could remember the word right now. :P) the music is what really grabbed me. Never before have I heard so many tunes in one game that are so good that I have to look them up on YouTube and hum them at school every day. The music was almost perfect. On top of that, the game looked absolutely fantastic with some of the best level design in any video game to date. The graphics were astounding, too.I highly recommend it to anyone that wishes to call themselves a ''gamer.''
    Best platformer I've played in a while. Keep up the good work Nintendo.
    Heh, I've been recently replaying this with Luigi. Still a ton of fun. Besides Brawl, there hasn't been a better game so far for the Wii. Looking forward to the next ''big'' Mario/Zelda creator game this Holiday season.
    It's a masterpiece. One of my favorite games ever.
    Absolutely stellar game. One of the best platformers ever.
    It is the best game on the Wii for a single player experience.
    I liked Super Mario Galaxy more than Super Mario Sunshine, but, in certain instances, it seemed too easy for me. No 3D Mario game can ever beat Super Mario 64, in my opinion.
    Yeah, Super Mario Galaxy is brilliant. It's one of my all-time favourite games.
    Its a great game, my 2nd favorite Wii title after Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
    The game is excellent.

    Yeah, about 35 bucks difference.
    Not at all, atleast not the Monoprice cables. Check out www.monoprice.com for some cheap Wii component cables. They're very nice. I'm sure a lot of people from here have them.
    Some folks will say yes and others will tell you there's no difference but price. I'm going to fall into the latter category. I lucked onto an Amazon special a few weeks ago for the Mad Catz Wii cables for $8.33. I'm extremely pleased with the purchase and quality.

    So which of these big franchises would y ...

    We've already got Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Warioware, Pokemon and Mario Kart. So what would you like to see next? (Other than something new perhaps...)Kirby: The 'lil bugger managed to skip the Gamecube completely so I think we're long overdue for some pink puffball platforming.F-Zero: F-Zero GX was great in my opinion and a new racing game for Wii would go down a treat. Animal Crossing: Many possibilities with Wiiconnect24 and such.
    Pikmin: Motion sensing would probably work all to well with commanding pikmin and such. Been craving some more Pikmin for all too long now. Starfox: Again, motion sensing would probably work well if done well. All it would need is a decent multi-player and I'd be sold.I'd be willing to wager dollars to doughnuts that one of these will be announced at E3. At least, I hope so.So which of these big franchises would y ...
    Out of those, I want in this order:1) F-Zero
    2) Star Fox
    3) Kirby
    4) Animal Crossing
    5) Pikmin Never played Pikmin though.So which of these big franchises would y ...
    im hoping its Star Fox but any of those will be good
    F-Zero. I loved the one for GC.

    Wii Ware length?

    About how long are Wii Ware games? I know it depends on the game, but they aren't full depth games that are really long are they? Wii Ware length?
    Depends on how well the developers make use of the limited space.With downloadable games, a developer can make a game with the basic set up in the first one and then provide extra Wiiware packages that continue the story. For one person, they may consider it multiple games in a series, but it can be just one game that is released like a comic, one chapter each month.Wii Ware length?
    No WiiWare game(so far) is exceeding 10 hrs. Though most of them are small games like Pop and Dr. Mario that you play every once in a while and in a sense have an unlimited play time.
    Lostwinds is supposed to have 3 hours of gameplay, thats all i know so far.
    They're like candy ^ ^
    (And i'm sure some of them will grow popular and be grinded into a cake.)
    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King is supposed to be around 30 hours. It just depends on what the developer can do.And are you serious that LostWinds is only 3 hours? Unless there's sidequests or extras, there doesn't seem to be much replay value to it meaning it's probably not worth getting for 1000 Wii points.
    Length? Depends on your TV screen. For instance, my TV is a 32'' SDTV, so I'd say they reach around...well, 32''. Now height, that's a different story...what with widescreen-support and whatnot.

    I Lost the White Rabbit in Game Play

    There are about 17 screens of characters to choose from in Midway's ''Game Play'' for the Nintendo Wii. At one time there was a white rabbit wearing a green tie that I could use, but now he's gone. The game unlocks all kinds of things as you progress (including characters), and I was thinking that maybe the white rabbit had been replaced with another character as I got more tickets (points). So, I deleted the save file from the system and started over from the beginning. I've now unlocked all of the characters again, and the white rabbit isn't in any of the selection menus.

    Thanks for the help. :P



    The 'darts' are really fun.
    SOLUTION:

    a friend of mine suggested that the last time we got together and played the wii, it was easter. so, i set the system date to march 23 and the white rabbit came back. i then set it to halloween and it changed to a skull faced guy wearing a pumpkin shirt.. etc. so, there's one character that will change with holidays.

    Microsoft only started making money off the 360 recently, they were losing money on each sold previously, whereas Nintendo made money off of the Wii day 1 instead of losing money.Anyway this isnt SW, but yea back to topic:

    These are the only things the Wii really needs:
    - Headset
    - Storage Solution
    - More serious third party efforts, no more half assed attempts.

    just buy a xbox360 and a ps3. a little picky you think?I'll make a list for YOU.xbox360 needs 1.free games2. free online3.free systems.4.better free games.Me saying the above comments make as much sense as your post.
    why are you telling us, go to nintendo if your going to brag so much about this we cant do anything about it. Unless your the chairman of nintendo so GOOD LUCK!Wii does need so additions, but just be patient hopefully they will start to come outLike better online, demos, no friend codes(thats kinda hard to change now but idk), graphics

    So basically... not the Wii... A completely different system.That'd be more expensive and Nintendo probably wouldn't make as much money that way.The Wii is fine the way it is.
    colin4128 do you live in a cave? HD-DVDs cease to exist, blu-ray* is the primary HD format now, have you notice in ads they don't have Hd-dvd players anymore or how microsoft ''reduced'' the price of the attachment lol and made it with like 5 movies. Man the wii does need to fix it online, headsets, and no freind codes, thats about it needs and it will never get 3rd party help like the ps3 and xbox360 because nintendo doesn't want to have violent games, hence is why there is like 500 mario titles, zelda, donky kong, metroid, etc.

    Blinking Light...Help please

    Ok so i just got a wii mainly for the mario games and i was playing then i pushed the power button in the front and it turned off and the light went to yellow, then a few minutes later the console was still off but the are around the disc tray was light up and blinking blue...does anyone know whyBlinking Light...Help please
    it means there's an update, maybe a new channelBlinking Light...Help please
    It's a message, thats all. Just turn the Wii on and click on the bottom right button and read the message and blue disc try light will go bye bye.
    When you connect the wii to Internet, wiiconnect 24 turns on, then the front light turns yellow and not red, and the glowing is because you receive a message
    It lights up because you have a new message or there is a new update, the yellow light means that you are connected to the internet.
    U got NROD- Nintendo Ring Of Death!!!:twisted:
    your Wii comes with a manual, which explains all of this.
    [QUOTE=''Nobarai'']your Wii comes with a manual, which explains all of this.[/QUOTE] Thats what that thing is for? mmmm.. interesting, but why would people read that when they can go online and ask stupid questions?
    the blinking indicates that you broke something internally. You must ship it back to Nintendo, they will replace your parts.
    Aside from several sarcastic and unhelpful remarks, the blue light just means that you have a message or there is an update to your Wii. The yellow light means that your Wii is in standby mode and Wiiconnect24 is activated.Read the manual for further information :) .

  • what game u gonna get...

    off wiiware when it comes out tomorrow? i'm definetly get the final fantasy onewhat game u gonna get...
    Final Fantasy is my first and probably only download. I don't think I'll be getting anything else. FFCC looks like a great sim game. Also, LostWinds has my interest but I don't think I'll be getting it anytime soon.what game u gonna get...
    Im looking forward to lostwinds
    Nothing. Some of them seem mildly interesting (FF : CC and Lostwinds) but I'm going to wait a week or so until they have a review, and see how they fare with most big gaming sites.
    LIT, whenever that comes out. Oh, and Gyrostarr. As for games actually coming out tomrorow, I'll be anxiously waiting to see the reviews of Lost Winds before deciding to get it or not.
    maybe ffcc. i'm going to get that gameshow game (because hell, it will give me good memories of playing buzz with friends back on my ps2). it's too bad Dr. mario isn't coming 2morrow but when it comes, i will get that as well
    Lost Winds, thats about it til Dr. Mario comes out.
    Final Fantasy and Defend Youre Castle for sure, the rest will need reviews.
    Final fantasy for sure. I'll get animales de la muerte when it comes out.
    LostWinds.
    I'll be getting Final Fantasy as well.
    I don't think anything. I am think about picking up Boom Blox instead. None of the launch Wii Ware titles really grab my interest.But I don't know. I might buy them sometime down the road.
    Im probably going to get Lostwinds, but i will wait for a review first.
    I'll be getting LostWinds...

    I would also get FFCC:MLAAK as well but I don't have enough points for both.

    Lostwinds if it gets a good review otherwise i'll wait.

    *Most Wanted WiiWare Games*

    There are dozens of Wiiware titles coming your way on moday, but which titles are you truly excited for?

    Gyrostar
    I have my eyes on LostWinds and Dr. Mario but I'm not a 100% sure if I'll get them. I'll just wait for some reviews and if they're good I'll pick them up.

    [QUOTE=''andrewham7'']defend ur castle ftw!!![/QUOTE]WHOOO!!!! lol YES!

    (Everyone's mentioning Bomberman, though...I had no idea that there was a WiiWare take of that franchise. I wonder how well it'll stack up to titles like Saturn Bomberman...)



    However, if Nintendo suddenly became interested in Wiimaking unreleased Virtual Boy games to put on WiiWare, I'd almost kill to have the chance to play [url=http://www.virtual-boy.org/dragonhopper.htm]Dragon Hopper[/url] or [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7ct01hQ2BQ]Bound High![/url] on a much more powerful platform that could display more colors than red and black, not to mention the lack of potential headaches.

Stepping out of direct light will end in death. The objective is to escape a building without stepping into the dark and the entire thing is a giant puzzle with some kind of combat-puzzle boss fights. That's my general understanding of it as of now. It sounds really cool, so I hope to see more info soon and hope it's out this year.
    A lot of Wiiware games garner my interest, but especially the following:World of GooWorld of Goo (yes, I'm that interested)that zombies on a plane one for next yearLost WindsDefend your CastleLine Rider (maybe)Animals of the Dead (eventually)others that I can't recall atm.Edit: Bomberman online, of course.

    Bright specks?

    Okay, this has been a problem with the Wii I own for some time... I've noticed that there are different coloured specks that sort of look like jail bars near the bottom of the screen, going across it. Sometimes this is on, sometimes it doesn't. They usually appear when the view point changes. Anyways, they're really annoying.Is there some way I can fix this problem? Thanks!And there's nothing wrong with my TV. I also have a PS3 and that doesn't happen with my TV.Bright specks?

    I just got my Wii back from repairs from the same problem.

    I am afraid the possibly your GPU is overheated.

    Phone Nintendo (1800-255-3700) and set up a repair.

    Wii memory stick question

    Will any memory stick work on wii, like an sony one? Or do they have to be special Wii sandisk ones?Also what size do you reccomend I get?Wii memory stick question
    also can you play videos (wma, avi, mpeg etc) on the wii that are loaded on the memory stick?Wii memory stick question
    Any SD card 2gig or lower
    will it support a 4gb one that I already have?
    No, the wii only supports up to 2 gigs.
    No memory sticks work with the Wii, just SD cards. And your 4GB might work, but it'll show up as 2GB.
    by memory stick I mean the same cards that go in PSP
    Sony's ''Memory Sticks'' will NOT work. In fact few non-Sony devices use them period. The Wii takes standard SD (Secure Digital) cards... the same kind used in most P%26S digital cameras (except those by Sony, Fuji, and Olympus)... up to 2GB in size.
    will a SD card work in a sony PSP?
    nope
    This thread made me lol a little.
    [QUOTE=''sfkjsq'']will a SD card work in a sony PSP?[/QUOTE]

    No. Memory Stick (and more specifically, Memory Stick Duo) and SD cards are physically different:..



    (yes, I know technically that's an SDHC card, which won't work in the Wii, but they're the same shape as ''regular'' SD)

    Make pikmin 3

    They should really make a pikmin 3, it hasn't been announced yet still?:roll:...Anyways, I really hope they make one. Pikmin 1%262 were some of my favorite gamecube games, they did a great job making the enemies! I loved the boss fights, and it was challenging!In pikmin 3, instead of 4 worlds, they could make like 8! They could add more pikmin also, and really cool enemies!SO yeah, please post what you think, and I apologize if there are other topics about pikmin 3, I didn't know.Make pikmin 3
    i didnt look at pikmin one due to the game being timed (30 days and ure a dead man or something like that). i hate games with a time limit like that.but pikmin 2 rocked. no overall time limit and everythign else about it was ace.so yes....i would defainately like to see a pikmin 3. the wii would be even better for it than the GC.Make pikmin 3
    They're probably already making it. That's what everyone says anyway :P. I, myself, have no clue. Let's just wait and see and hope.
    I could never really get into the Pikmin series. I really did try too. I'd prefer they make something else rather than Pikmin 3.
    Hopefuly :)

    Wii Memory Help

    How do I save to an SD Card, as opposed to saving directly to the Wii?Wii Memory Help
    Most games don't have that feature. Actually, I don't think any do.Save files can be saved on the Wii but can be copied or moved to your SD card. Unfortunately, you can't run the save data off the SD card directly. You would have to move it back to your Wii.The same goes for Virtual Console/Wiiware games. They can't run directly off an SD card so the only thing you can do is copy them back and forth if you're having storage issues. It's a bit of a nuisance, yes.Wii Memory Help
    So, what If I run out of room on the Wii? Do I copy some stuff to the card, then copy it back when I need it?
    [QUOTE=''mrcong''] So, what If I run out of room on the Wii? Do I copy some stuff to the card, then copy it back when I need it? [/QUOTE] Yeah, that is what you have to do, it's a hassle but it's better than having to delete them and start all over whenever you want to play.
    Yep. It's the storage problem that most people complain about. You can also delete virtual console games and re-download them whenever, which is an unnecessary hassle.
    If you are referring to VC games, you can just delete them. The games you buy are linked to your console and you can redownload them whnever you want. Or yes, you can move them to an SD card and move them back. I generally just choose to delete.
    Delete the vc games you aren't playing and won't play again when you complete them. Problem solved.

    I really am trying to like Okami...

    but I'm finding a few parts of it to be a complete PAIN. Case in point, the blossom minigame with Mr. Orange. After the millionth time, I still can't get those things to bloom, and I can't quit the mini-game, so I ended up turning the game off and losing almost 2 hours worth of data. Sometimes, when I draw a circle it works, other times it won't (and yes, I do connect the line). Sometimes, the ****ing sun appears instead of the flowers. I love the aesthetic of this game, but there are a few things that really bring it down.:evil:I really am trying to like Okami...
    Yes, that minigame was a bit of nuisance. It took me 3 times to get it but it took my sister about 30. Don't worry, though. That's pretty much the only minigame that's broken. I really am trying to like Okami...

If you can get past the learning curve you will start to enjoy the game.
    Its annoying sometimes. I'm taking a break from it, but I remember certain times when I tried to revive dead trees, I would have to draw those dumb circles about 12 times until it worked.
    It's a bad sign when you have to TRY to like a game. lol.

    While I haven't completed the game, that minigame dance was the only major Wiimote problems I've had. I had a bit of trouble at the beginning learning how to pull off some moves, and everytime I learn a new brush technique, it takes a bit to master. After that, though, it's pretty much second nature.
    I have a solution to the mini-game problem. I was having the same problem. Here's the trick.....draw a BIG circle (twice the size of the green flower thing), and also don't hesitate with your motions, if you hesitate the motions will work less often.

    I'm loving the game, and though once in a while it takes a few tries to do something (the blossom mini game took about 3 or 4 tries maybe), after a while some things are just 2nd nature and rarely fail. In fact, I don't think I could stand having to do some of these things with an analog stick, it'd take way too damn long.
    I don't know why people are having so much trouble with the paint controls. I beat that mini-game first try, and the slashing mini-game second try. I'm loving the game.

    HDTV with Wii?

    I am going to get an HDTV soon and I was wondering how my Wii would look on it. I know I need the component cables and I know it only supports up to 480p, but is there a noticable difference in quality?Thanks.HDTV with Wii?
    I got my Wii hooked up to my HDTV (with the standard cables; 480i) and it looks fine (not awesome nor crappy; just standard).Also, from what I hear/seen component cables won't do much difference (at the moment). HDTV with Wii?
    Depends on the quality of the TVLike a tube TV will look better then LCD or plasma and one that let's you choose how it up converts will look better then one that takes the image and just throws it on the screen one way. 
    Cables also make a huge difference and in many cases with HDTV's eliminate the lag that normal cables have on the set.

    To get back to your actual question about the Wii in my opionion it's a blurry mess.

    One thing absent from the chart above is a comparison of picture quality. That's because picture quality is determined by construction quality and internal processing as much as it is by TV type. For example, people generally agree that top tube TVs have the best picture quality; yet it's not unusual to compare a specific tube TV to a plasma and find that the plasma is the winner. Plus, people often have different ideas about what looks ''best.'' And finally, various space and budgetary constraints may affect how much importance you place on small differences in picture quality. The bottom line? To get the best possible picture quality, look for TVs from reliable brands, and don't give up better engineering in order to get a bargain basement price.Also remember that there are tube TV's that are HDTV'sThey handle HD and non HD signals perfectly
    Generally speaking, SD systems (xbox, PS2 etc.) look like blurry cr*ap on my HDTV.  I can't image the Wii would be any different.
    [QUOTE=''Jaysonguy''][QUOTE=''reggie186''] I don't mean to argue (because I don't know anything about HDTV's), but what makes it a fact that tube TV's are better than LCD or plasma TV's?[/QUOTE]Nah don't worry about it, I'm not arguing either lolHERE check this out, that pretty much sums it up.Picture quality
    One thing absent from the chart above is a comparison of picture quality. That's because picture quality is determined by construction quality and internal processing as much as it is by TV type. For example, people generally agree that top tube TVs have the best picture quality; yet it's not unusual to compare a specific tube TV to a plasma and find that the plasma is the winner.

They do not exist. thinking that the picture is better on a CRT is not an opinion, it is fooling yourself... I can admit that there are some really crappy ''HD'' lcds, plasmas, and so on, but that by no means says that CRT TVs look better than even them.in 2003-2004 what you are saying would be true for MOST lcds and plasma but not in the real world today. If you want to give some people a good laugh go to any AV forum on the internet (or any videophile) and make the claims of tube TVs you have here.Also, people (most, anyways) don't buy a TV because it is thin, that has no bearing on the purchase... the excellent picture quality compared to CRTs is why they buy them.

    [QUOTE=''Lobster_Ear'']I am going to get an HDTV soon and I was wondering how my Wii would look on it. I know I need the component cables and I know it only supports up to 480p, but is there a noticable difference in quality?Thanks.[/QUOTE]I recently switched to HDTV, and yes their is a huge difference between 480i and 480p, which is why I switched to the Component Cables, one of the main probs was a little bit of Lag, especially when playing some Sonic on Virtual Console.
    I have a ~4 year old Samsung 30'' flat screen HDTV. It's not a flat panel, but a tube. And I think the picture on it is gorgeous. I just paid $150 to have it fixed from lightning damage because I'd still rather have it than some of the newer TVs out there. My Wii is also hooked up with component cables and there is a REMARKABLE difference in picture quality. Everything is clear, crisp and extremely vibrant. Okami is jaw-dropping. :D

    Best TV to play a Wii on?

    I've played my Wii on a 27'' standard tv, on my 52'' 1080p HDTV, and on various friends tvs, one a 32'' 480p. None of them gave me satisfying graphics. In fact I'm thinking part of the problem is the bigger the screen, the harder the graphics are on the eyes. I'm not expecting anything like a next gen visual, just clean, sharp graphics. I'm wondering what you are all playing your wii on and whether you've found the ''sweet spot'' for size to play it on. Maybe I should go smaller like 37'' or 42''?Best TV to play a Wii on?
    personal favorite: the 1.5 inch tv.http://www.gamebrink.com/forums/user-news/12252-wii-playing-1-5inch-tv.htmlBest TV to play a Wii on?
    wii looks the best on an EDTV or CRT HDTV that can display 480p natively

    dunno. I know how ''many'' blocks it takes, but I don't know how ''meny'' it takes.
    [QUOTE=''Yodas_Boy'']dunno. I know how ''many'' blocks it takes, but I don't know how ''meny'' it takes.[/QUOTE]Do tell instead of being a wiseass.
    If it's 40mb it would be approximately 16% of the total number of blocks, however many that is.
    40 MB =~ 300 Blocks

    I'm so used to buying old games on the Wii that buying brand new ones is going to be awkward...I'm scared of tomorrow, omgThis is going to be weird...

    Looks like it time to get wii!

    If i can find one that is...i got my nice check from the govt so im gonna spend it on a wii if i can find one since none of the major online retailers dont have any in stock just wondering if anyone knew if there still really hard to find in stores?? And y inst nintendo fixing this problem faster..lolLooks like it time to get wii!
    there's a site called itrackr.com and u can look up the wii and it lists what stores in ur area have it in stock at different retail places. most places get them sunday morning, thats how i got mine last yr. u don't have to pay for any thing either so thats cool. u can create a free account on it. yw :)Looks like it time to get wii!
    I think they're becoming less rare. My local Wal-Mart has had one on the shelf the last couple times I've gone in. Which is like walking into the Twilight Zone or something.Anyway, as for why they aren't fixing it faster; that's easy. 1.) Hype is good, and 2.) If they make more factories to make more Wiis, when people don't want so many Wiis they'll have wasted money on factories and have to lay-off factory workers that they've invested money into the training of. However, if they ramp up production a little (which they have), but don't go nuts, then people will still keep buying Wiis and Nintendo will keep making money, and they don't have to waste money on new factories.

Good times back then even though it was frustrating.

    Any good zapper games

    I know that Heroes 2 and Crossbow training are 2 games, but any others?also does the zapper work good, or is it really nothing special?Any good zapper games
    If you like or think you'll like Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, then yes.If not, then no.Every last source I've heard from says the Zapper feels unnatural, innacurate, and unnecessary. It's looking to be the same story for the Wii Wheel too, which doesn't reflect too well on Nintendo's peripheral department. Luckily, the Balance Board may be the add-on to balance that out (No pun intended. Seriously, it was unavoidable). Any good zapper games
    Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
    From what I have heard of the Zapper the best thing about it is that it comes with a game. There was a third party gun that was supposed to be good but I forgot what it was called.As for games there is Resident Evil: UC, House of the Dead 2%263, and Ghost Squad.
    [QUOTE=''MetraGold2006'']Does the zapper work good, or is it really nothing special?[/QUOTE]I have the zapper and it sucks in my opinion, but if you really want a light gun then I have a suggestion for you. I recently purchased the Nyko Perfect Shot and it is by far the best light gun for the wii and it is a lot of fun to use. It is also 100 times better than the stupid zapper, although I found link's crossbow training to be rather fun, which only comes packaged with the zapper, so that sucks. Anyways, if you really want link's crossbow training, then you may as well buy the zapper and see if you like it, but if you just want a decent light gun for the wii, then by all means buy a Nyko Perfect Shot instead.P.S. If you want more information about light guns or wii accessories in general, then I would reccommend checking out this guy's reviews: OnzinnigArvoitus
    I've got a PEGA gun and it is much better than the official one. Links xbow training is ok, nothing more.I like Ghost Squad and House of the dead for light gun ''on the rails'' fun. I hated Umbrella chronicals, but I am in a pretty big minority

    This week's VC release

    I really don't think this source is wrong. He's never been wrong before. It's......WOWhttp://www.destructoid.com/blogs/kwaselow/jew-sleuth-coming-this-monday-85551.phtml EARTHBOUNDNOTE:Article seems to be pulled, signifying that either an administrator or the user himself hid the blog. I didn't intend to start a flame war or fool anyone with hope. But when you see something like Earthbound, well you just have to think maybe Nintendo was going to pitch the game as a word-of-mouth title.I apologize.This week's VC release
    Good news! Cant wait for tommorow. You do know that if you're wrong, legions of Earthbound fans will kill you?This week's VC release

    i thought it was confirmed nothing is coming this week
    There are no VC games tomorrow, it's been confirmed. Only a handful of Wiiware titles. Hopefully EB will be released in a couple weeks.
    Wow excellent news. I just hope you're right. Never played it so i wanna try it
    I thought it was confirmed that nothing was coming out tommorrow. But if this is true then I'm downloading it in a heartbeat.

    Maybe it is a super secret Earthbound Wiiware game :O
    Dang, IF Earthbound's coming out tommorow, I need to get a lot more Points to go along with Dr. Mario and SPOGS Racing...
    Didn't the Nintendo Press Release confirm that no VC titles were going to be released?
    well if somehow the confirming of no VC games was wrong and this comes out 2morrow i will happily d/l it. If not, maybe it is coming may 19th and then i will happily d/l it then.EARTHBOUND FTW!!
    [QUOTE=''ahahaG'']well if somehow the confirming of no VC games was wrong and this comes out 2morrow i will happily d/l it.

    EVERYBODY its not coming, this is a fake article. Wiiware launches tomorrow with i think 8 or so games. It is confirmed that there are no VC titles coming tomorrow.
    It's been confirmed only Wiiware titles will be released tomorrow by Nintendo itself, so sorry to say unless Nintendo surprises us, this is not going to happen.
    Yeah, there's no way they'd release such an anticipated title on the same day WiiWare. IT'd mean less money for them, whereas if they stagger it it'd mean more money.

You can still access it by my link, but if this is just a backlash from this person's mother passing, then I am sorry.Like I said, he was batting 100%, and it's always nice to give a little hope when something like Earthbound gets announced. But I didn't see anything on NeoGAF, so this might just be a myth after all.
    Yeah, I call BS. Nintendo said there's no VC games for tomorrow and they wouldn't release such a beloved game alongside the launch of their new service, WiiWare. It isn't happening. :(
