    I have a strange problem, it's not major, but it will bug me later on.

     

    My WiiConnect24 won't work when I turn off the Standby setting in the Wii menu. the only way it will work is to have WiiConnect24 on and standby mode on. This means having it on the orange light on instead of having it just go into standby (red) It's not major, but it means either leaving standby mode on, or changing it every time I want to use a WiiConnect24 feature.

    Any suggestions?

    i have tried turning it off, unplugging the console, but it only works if standby is on.

    Picked this up yesterday, so far I have only done the tutorials and first level, but so far I like it. I have to delve deeper before I can really get an opinion, but I think this is going to be a good game.

    I'm going to be buying this. I liked the look of the game when I first saw it, and it seems like the kind of game that I can just pick up and play in short bursts.

    WooHoo, I just S-Ranked all the Mirror mode. I still have the challenges to do, so this games has certainly lasted me longer than those few hours that some reviewers said.

     

    To those people that have managed to pull of spins above 2520. Where are you doing this and with what car?

    I just can't pull off more than a 2520.

    I unlocked Mirror Mode yesterday. I have to say, I didn't find S-Ranking the Super Excite tracks that hard. I had a few that took me more than 10 attempts, but then I just focused on doing enough stunts to earn the points, and I managed them all that way. Now onto Mirror mode.

     

    One of the thing I wish this game had was a true Time Trial mode.

    I realised I've posted a few vids, but not given any thoughts on the game, well here are a few. I love it. I never read any reviews for this, and I wanted it from the time I got my Wii.

     

    This is easily my favourite pick up and play game on the Wii so far, but it also stands up to longer play time, (up to a few hours at a time). So far I have completed Excite mode with all S-ranks, and S-ranks in bronze on Super Excite. I have completed Super Excite mode (non S-rank).

     

    I have obtained all the paint jobs on all the trucks, and as such got a nice surprise.

     

    I pulled off a lovely 2520 spin earlier, (I know it has been done before me though) (video coming soon.)

     

    I am not disappointed one bit in this purchase.

     

    Here it is, my own

    . This contains the surprise I mentioned earlier.

    I've uploaded my video of the 2160 spin onto youtube. It's just processing but I'll post the link here now.

     

     

    I know it's poor quality, but all I have to record is a digital camera that has a video option.

    ..if someone has already bettered this and posted it or whatever I'm gonna look pretty stupid.. but I thought my 2160 degree spin (which I have now done twice) was pretty cool :yay:

     

    ..I think adding another is possible..

    (Ignore the rest of the records.. they suck :heh:)

     

    I too have just managed this outstanding feat. Though I did it on a different level.

    When playing Super Excite mode, on platinum cup, Mexico, I found a spot to get you a 1800 and I even managed to put an extra half spin in, but try as I might I just couldn't get that 6th spin. So today, I picked a truck that had a full Air bar and had another go. WooHoo, a few tries and I pulled it off. I have a video of it that I will upload tomorrow, I was hoping to be the first, but congrats to nando for getting it too.

     

    I love this game, it's great for 15 minutes plays as well as having that one more race factor that can keep you going for hours if you want to.

    What? You don't design games for 480p, it's just an improved signal quality. Even if that made sense, Zelda has been designed for 480p anyway, like most GC 1st party games.

     

    OK, I was just going by the little icons that appear on the game boxes. Since they are there on Monkey Ball and not on Zelda, I just assumed.

    For anyone thinking bout buying component cables. (It's 480i vs 480p though)

     

     

    Cool vid, but shouldn't people be doing this with a game that actually supports 480p. A game like TP has not been designed for 480p, so I don't think it's going to show that much difference. Now, if you showed the difference when running a game that does support 480p (Monkey Ball for example) then you may see a vast difference.

    Just my opinion.

    I have one more "tip". If you are running your Wii in 60Hz (480i) then put your Wii in 50 Hz (576i) whilst playing. This makes the game run slower, thus giving you more time, so to speak.

     

    I have been running my Wii in 50Hz due to a offset picture when changing to 60Hz, I sorted that out (by simply changing settings, then unplugging my Scart cable and plugging it back in) and played Monkey Ball again. Holy Cow. It's like it's been plugged into a super charger. It's so much faster, it actually makes the game a little harder just with it in 60Hz.

    so if you are still having trouble just alter you Wii settings while you play the game.

    I'm stuck on the 5th stage of the 7th world (Volcanic Pools).

     

    You go down some steps at the start and turn right, then there is a series of flipping platforms that you have to get across. I have been stuck here for ages. Has anyone got any tips?

     

    I was stuck on this level for ages too. I tried many different methods, but the one that I did it with was the slow and steady approach. Stick to the left of the platforms and scoot across them as soon as it becomes horizontal. As the next one is slightly off than the last, you should be able to just run across them. Stop on a static ground and repeat on the next lot. Small jumps may also help if you get in a pickle. Stick to it and you should manage to do it.

    That frickin OCTOPUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

     

    My sentiments exactly. I've been going through clearing each world without continuing, I got to him with about 5 lives, yet he still managed to annihilate me. The worst was one were I delivered the final blow, but got knocked off at the same time. It of coarse counted as a fall out. Boy was I angry.

    Gameplay seem to have updated their product descriptions for the RGB cable and Component cables with this short bit of text:

    Please note this item will be in extremely short supply, we cannot guarantee orders will be despatched for day one delivery.

     

    So it looks like there may still be a few getting to Europe. They still have the release set as the 8th.
