The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense

mycot posted:

Most first party Nintendo titles were alright on the motion controls, but I think people are forgetting how almost every third party game or Wii port had some shoehorned "oh poo poo we have to use the wiimote somehow" mechanic.

This sounds more like an issue on the part of game developers not being able to come up with creative games that were supposed to use the wiimote. Instead they just made the same poo poo over again, I can hardly fault Nintendo for that. It's been 8 years since the Wii was released and people are still going on about Wiimotes.

Good news friend. Almost all Nintendo games are for drug addicts. You should probably play Mario Across the Space Dimension first because it is colorful and fun. First party Nintendo games are all pretty weird and visually exciting though so just do what thou wilt.

edit: and gently caress yes to Hyrule Warriors btw that poo poo is going to keep me entertained for well over a year at least, it basically never ends

No-one i ever fought in Wii Boxing ever figured out that the reason i was winning so much was because i was just staying still but flicking my wrists while they wildly flailed their arms and got knackered.

Speaking of vWii homebrew, i need to get a new SD card to do it with, but i've not dealt with SD cards for gently caress knows how long now. Is this a suitable card for doing it with?

Just one more thing!
Just finished Champion's Road a bit ago making SM3DW the first Wii U game I've 100%ed. I should try to finish up Captain Toad next.

I have never actually played through any of the Metroid Prime games and as much as I am normally opposed to Wiimotes I have mine ready because I am excited to buy the digital trilogy when it comes out later. I did try a friend's copy of Metroid Prime once to see how the Wiimote controls felt and the aiming felt really natural for me so I hope to have a good time.

Galaxy 2 is available right now on the eShop for download. Punch-Out!!! Wii is next week and Metroid Prime Trilogy the week after that. So far these Wii games will debut at $20 USD. For these three games, for the first week they're available they're half off.

AKA buy these great games for ten dollars if you haven't bought them already.

Just so people know, PAL-land is getting Donkey Kong Country Returns instead of Punch-Out (and Japan is getting Kirby Wii instead of Metroid).

I hope that since they are just dumping the ISO of the Wii games on the eShop that they can put out a lot of these very fast.

Maybe they'll see that not putting all the bells and whistles on these titles and releasing them quickly means more sales.

Just based on the publishers that are currently making an effort on the VC, here are the third-party games we might reasonably expect to show up at some point:

Capcom:

REmake/RE0/RE4 ports
RE Umbrella Chronicles
RE Darkside Chronicles
Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (eh maybe not)
Zack & Wiki
Sengoku Basara 3
Okami

Konami/the rotting corpse of Hudson:

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Castlevania Judgement
Elebits
Kororinpa/Kororinpa 2
Lost in Shadow

Namco-Bandai:

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
Tales of Symphonia 2
Namco Museum Megamix/Remix/whatever

Tecmo-Koei:

Zero Project 2: Wii Edition (Fatal Frame 2 remake)
Rygar: Battle of Argus
Samurai Warriors x89758493

Natsume:

Harvest Moon: Animal Parade
Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility


Sega, Atlus, Square-Enix, XSEED are all no-shows at this point.

Japan's getting Kirby instead of Metroid Prime Trilogy,

JP/PAL have a history of announcing things further in advance than NA, so I don't think NA's silence is anything to worry about, really.

So Nintendo Support is pretty fantastic. Not only did my call in to them to restore my Wii U and 3DS digital games work, they also threw in Mario Kart 8 (which I've never bought). I don't know if this was a mistake on their end, or one of the reps saying "here you go, sorry for no unified account system", but it was a pretty sweet thing to find when I looked at my downloads! Thanks Nintendo! All I really wanted was to not pay for Earthbound and Harvest Moon again, but hey... I'll take it.

Wii ISO's aren't the same as getting VC games working on the WiiU.

I know right? Having played every Metroid game religiously I was shocked to have to do backtracking towards the end of Prime 1.

Prime 2 was slightly more tedious in that you had to find and shoot the same floating enemy thing a bunch of times, I liked how you had to figure out weird stuff in Prime 1 from the clues a lot honestly.

This is honestly what baffles me about the whole thing. Why isn't there a way to just boot into what Wii disc is in the tray almost exactly like how it was done on the Wii for Gamecube games?

The fact that you can grab most of the widgets before the phazon suit if you're exploring thoroughly makes it much nicer, though. The game makes a point of guiding you to the impact site and giving you a bunch of clues pretty early on

Because the Gamecube didn't have it's own OS, it just booted directly into the game old-school style. It's hilariously easier, more stable, and cheaper to have just left the Wii's firmware OS in place as it is now. If you notice when you did fire up a GC game on the Wii, it goes full-on GAMECUBE MODE and you have to physically reset the console to get back out of it.

Yeah, if they can trick the vWii into thinking the gamepad is a classic controller, there shouldn't be an issue making it spoof a gamecube controller in addition to adding Gamecube adapter compatibility. Homebrew can pull off the adapter compatibility, so Nintendo should be able to offer a legit form of it.

And if they pull it off, they can boast that every Nintendo home console's games are playable on the Wii U.

Here's hoping they eventually come out with a 3DS player (totally doable since the system has a "top" screen and "bottom" touchscreen to begin with) and add GB/GBC games to the Wii U VC so they can extend that claim to all home consoles and handhelds. (Nobody cares about the Virtual Boy.)
