The load times must be horrible, but I didn't know it was that easy, in that case, will get a Wii if it works on all wiis and I don't have to hardmod.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #181 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:52:13 PM »

Actually to be honest, load times are much quicker :p

For instance, I've heard Metroid Prime 3's door loads are nearly instant.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #182 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:01:26 PM »

I will be a getting a Wii then :O. Whats this mod called?

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #183 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:10:06 PM »

Well the easiest thing to do these days is use the Hackmii Installer. You can find it pretty easily through a google search. You need a free SD card to put the files on, and then basically it's distinguished mentally-challenged fellow easy to install. With it, you install something called Bootmii, the Homebrew Channel (which you can use to search, find, and download applications and also launch them) and DVDx which enables your Wii to read DVDs. Through HBC you can get something called a USB Loader and...well, yeah, that's pretty much it.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #184 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:13:32 PM »

So it's easier than hacking a PSP. Nice one Nintenfail.

Oh it requires Twilight Princess? I'm not buying that POS again.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #186 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:21:23 PM »

No it doesn't, the Twilight hack doesn't work with 4.0 Wii's. Use Bannerbomb, that's muuuuuch easier. All you do is put some boot file on the root of the SD, go to the SD card menu in Wii Options and BOOM: hacked wii.

and you fail, btw

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #187 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:23:04 PM »

I've never been a Zelda fan so I fail @ life.

And okay, I guess I want a Wii now for pirates. It plays everything? Including emulators?

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #188 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:25:51 PM »

As far as I know, USB Loaders work with pretty much everything minus a few odd games. Emulators too, you can actually get them straight from the homebrew browser.

Hmmm, Brawl has barely any hitstun, severely limited combo potential, is eschewed towards defense. There are no beneficial approaches which results in "high level play" having two opponents projectile spamming, mix in some grab release exploits and thats your metagame. I still like it, but its not a fighting game anymore.

They are, but they're not the same. Kind of like the Ratchet games morph from 'platformer with shooting' to 'shooting with jumping.' And many of the Melee maneuvers were developer intended.

I'm not a super duper player or anything but no one in my old Melee group likes to play Brawl. Everything is too slow and floaty, you can't get any good combos going, etc. The character lineup is way better but that is it. We were playing Melee in my dorm right up to Brawl's release but we put Brawl away within a month. Even my fiance, who plays games but is far from hardcore, feels the difference and sticks with Melee. Brawl got GTA4'd

Dude, I like brawl for what it is. But I can understand if players who were into the melee metagame despise brawl because it has a very shallow risk vs reward element.

Pro pokemon play is a joke though. Its only feasible with fanmade battle simulators.

I think Punch-Out is interesting in that

(1) it is a game that consists entirely of boss battles and
(2) the boss battles are reduced to the pure essence of boss-battle-ness. i.e. in most games there is some background mechanic that fills out the levels etc., but for bosses there is some special gimmick/pattern/etc. overlaid on the background mechanic, sometimes completely dominating it. Punch-Out basically dispenses with the background mechanics entirely

I do think this makes it worth something, in the way that anything that sort of embodies the Platonic form of a popular trope is worth something. also, great animation.

Evilbore sucks at threads related in anyway to Wii. What the fuck does SSBB have to do with anything?

Anyway, this game is great. It's old-school, which some non-gamers such as Prole may dislike.

Hollywood · « **Reply #218 on:** May 24, 2009, 04:21:40 AM »

Anyone ever remember there was a code in the original Punch-Out where you could make an entire new circuit? It was the same boxers, but you basically had almost the entire roster in one division.

135 792 468, press A+B+Select on the last number. Another World Circuit

This game is awesome just because I could go back and play today and probably find some new type of KO I've never did before. Just looking at youtube, I had no clue Super Macho Man was vulnerable to body blows. I have no clue how this dude hit him with like 7 uppercuts in one round either, he would always dodge me after just one.

Finished the game tonight. That means FINISHED. After beating Sandman in Title Defense the game goes into "Little Mac's Last Stand" where you fight a random opponent until you lose three times. DK shows up second and was my first loss. His victory taunt is carrying Mac out of the ring slung over his shoulder aka pauline. I'm assuming gorilla rape follows. Proceeded to lose to King Hippo and Sandman and thats the end. One final cutscene of Doc touring a Mac tribute museum followed by the credits. After this point the profile is labeled as retired and Career Mode is locked down permanently. Replay matches are limited to Exhibition Mode, whereas Donkey Kong is also unlocked.

The problem here is that there's an unlockable for going through 10 opponents in Last Stand, but I would have to start a new profile and work my way from the very start of contender to attempt it again. At least I can still try to get the headgear accessory through Exhibition matches after losing 100 times

Pro Evolution Soccer- high learning curve but probably the best comprehensive sports game on the console. By far the best game of footie this gen.

Boom blox- the sequel is out, but you can pick up the original for 30. Simple but fun.

Klonoa- Short game, but it gets the job done as far as platforming goes

Madworld- opinions are divided, but I enjoyed this alot. Its a score attack beat em up with brutal violence.

Blast Works- Katamari+shmup+lbp level editor

Excitebots- I played it so much I burned out for now, but a very insane racing game. If you can accept goofy beast wars aesthetics I don't see how its possible not to enjoy this.

House of the dead Overkill- Very rough and sometimes glitchy, but its a grindhouse lightgun game!

If you skipped on jungle beat for gcn, I'd recommend the wii version. Much better controls. Awesome platformer.
