The re-release of Punch out! On the Wii U, really reminds me: We need a sequel to the Wii version. Next Level really outdid themselves, and I think that was one of the best and most underrated games of last Gen.

They could call it Punch U Out!! and it would give my Little Mac Amiibo something to do than Side B over the edge in Smash Bros.

Punch-Out! Origins: The Legend of Doc Louis. You'll need to master new health recovery and revenge mechanics in order to survive.

Yes, but the particle effects on Samus's arm cannon are different than on gamecube because Retro was lazy with how they implemented them I think.

Only in Prime 1. In 2 they were done properly.

Everyone should play DUKE games.

:dukedog:
Yes, the gun smoke, charged ice beam icing up your gun, and seeing your own hand through the x-ray visor were a 2D pre-rendered layer on top of the GUI, which for reasons prevented them from working in Prime 3's engine. But Prime 2 and 3 itself has this sort of stuff where appropriate.

There are a few other quirks in Metroid Prime 1 that make me prefer it on the Gamecube, but in general they're among the best games ever made because they're King's Field with better controls, jumping, guns, and extremely strong art direction and music so if you don't have a Gamecube or a Wii* to play GC games on please get the trilogy because it's fantastic.


*Notable because you can still get the GC Prime games and Prime 3 for like $10 each because they were so mass produced. Though their price has I think very slowly increased as the more and more people were exposed to Prime Trilogy and realized how great they are.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

From what I remember reading, the Prime 1 stuff was rendered to match the GameCube's output resolution exactly and was lazy and wouldn't work in widescreen and would probably be too much of a nightmare to implement properly for a rerelease so they just didn't bother or something.

I know PAD Z isn't, I was just comparing the type of game, not the payment model. In both games, you connect blocks to beat up monsters/pokemon on the top screen. And also capture them I guess? I don't know I haven't played Puzzle and Dragon

edit: I called it "that pokemon puzzle and dragon type thing" because I can't be bothered to look up the name of the Pokemon one.

*sigh* I loved Metroid Prime 1, missed 2, and when I played 3 the motion controls actually made me puke. I didn't realize it was the game that was making me ill until it was too late. So what I'm asking is, all of these rereleases use the wiimote control, right?

So I'm assuming that gamepad support for games that use the Classic Controller only applies to these Wii rereleases and isn't a general Wii mode change, is that right?

This would actually be really awesome.

You could have two story campaigns. The first you play as Little Mac obviously, but then parallel to that you play as Doc Louis in the past, where you fight mostly new opponents, but occasionally you fight a younger version of a classic boxer (For example your first fight is against a super cocky Glass Joe with a record of 1-0).

In the End Doc Wins the belt, and the first thing that happens is he's approached by a Chocolate Bar company to do a sponsorship.

I just found the receipt and my brother and I paid $60 for Metroid Trilogy and $26 for Mario Galaxy 2, and we're returning both for full refunds and getting them for $10. This just saved us $65 and change.

Not gonna lie, a new Punch-Out!! with a younger Doc as the main character would be rad and I would play the poo poo out of it.

Thinking about it, would have been cool to get King Hippo or Glass Joe to balance it out and give us more fighters with the KO meter mechanic.

Pretty cool direct, nothing got me super excited but I enjoyed the whole thing.
Glad to see Wii games are downloadable now, I doubt I'll ever purchase any since I still have a lot of the best Wii games on disc and there are no real improvements to the game. I wonder if this means that gamecube downloads are right around the corner- or they're never coming

So are the downloadable Wii titles still in grainy 480p? Because higher resolution Mario Galaxy and Metroid would make me buy them a second time.

The Wii Shop Channel is still available, but everything else is dead because the old Wii and DS servers were hosted on GameSpy.

If they did turn off the online services you would have to update the wii manually by installing the homebrew channel and using some tools or via a game disc that has the latest system menu.

You should be able to connect to the Wii Shop Channel, only online functions related to individual games were shut down.

It won't let me do that until I install the system update, but it appears the system update server has been shut down. Which is frustrating because i'm on 4.2 and it looks like the latest version is 4.3.

Your options are buy a recent Wii game that has the update, Skyward Sword might have it, I dunno, or homebrew your Wii and install the update through homebrew channel. Or you could install a compatible Wii Shop Channel version, but that's kinda tricky.

Splatoon has been well-received and hyped up pretty much every single time anything in it has been shown off, so I think it'll sell pretty-well honestly!! Not as well as something established but better than most things.

I updated a Wii less than a month ago, the update servers should still be up. Are you sure your console is getting an internet connection?

Or maybe you installed some homebrew that blocks system updates and you forgot?

Internet connection test comes back as working just fine. I did install homebrew, but did a system restore to bring everything back to default and so that should have done the trick, but might not have.
