david.dakota Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Makes you realise that sound can be just as important as picture quality. This is something i've advocated for years. Few- very few- people seem to agree. The vast majority of gamers have spent hundreds on new consoles without considering improvements to sound (which is far more immersive than visuals). I don't know a single person with either a PS3 or 360 who are utilising Prologic- let alone DD5.1, which these consoles are capable of. Get your act together, 'hardcore'.
Emasher Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I've had my Wii hooked up to my surround sound system a few times. Together with the 50" Plasma, its a pretty good experience. Since I can't have it hooked up their all the time unfortunately, I hooked up my dad's old amp and good quality speakers (that haven't been in use since we got the surround system) downstairs to my Wii. After that I ended up hooking up a few other speakers to get a 5.0 surround system. Unfortunately I don't have a spare subwoofer lying around. And the amp doesn't have a spot to hook one up anyway.
Diageo Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I have a pretty small tv and no surround anything. So i can't say sound quality has made any differences in my purchases!
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I have to say, the more I think about it, the more I believe that the Wii is an under-rated console. So far, I have played some amazing games. Super Mario Galaxy Zelda: TP ExciteTruck RE:4 Wii Edition ExciteTruck All those being good favourites. Recently I've picked up or been given: Disaster: Day of Crisis Super Smash Bros: Brawl No More Heroes There's more games, and altogether I've got about 15 I think. Zelda Monkey Ball Rayman Raving Rabbids Fifa08 Super Mario Galaxy Wii Play ExciteTruck Mario Smash Football RE: 4 Wii Edition Guitar Hero 3 Sonic and the Secret Rings Disaster: Day of Crisis No More Heroes Super Smash Bros: Brawl May be one or two I've missed. I've YET to play or pick up: Eledees Metroid Prime 3 Zack and Wiki Dewy's Adventure Batallion Wars II Mario Kart Wii Guitar Hero: World Tour Wii Music Animal Crossing Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and about a dozen others. Wii Fit Included. There's a lot of great, great games there if people look for them. I think there's much better quality games than there was for the Gamecube at this time in it's lifetime.
david.dakota Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 people just don't understand Wii. They see WiiSports and WiiFit and the plethora of casual junk available and judge the whole library - i've seen it from gamers i've previously respected the opinions of. They simply forget that Wii is home to the widest, most varied library of quality titles.
Ganepark32 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Definitely pick up Dewy's Adventure. It's £9.99 pre-owned in Gamestation and it's brilliant. I bought after xmas and it's really good fun. Very cutesy graphics wise but everything looks nice. I really recommend it to anyone looking to try something a little different.
Gio001 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 People i know dismiss the Wii as a toy or think it's beneath them because they are '' hardcore gamers '' I'm just glad i'm not blinkered coz beneath the shovelware & the kiddy image there are some cracking games allready out on the Wii with some more on the way in the next few months.
Cube Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I'm at my Dads for the weekend and he got a Wii for the kids. I've had a go on a few games. Wii Sports has lost the charm it used to have. Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is actually quite good (in multiplayer, anyway). Wii Music. Is it me, or is it the hardest music game in existance (if you want to sound remotely like the song you're playing)? How could Nintendo screw up this much?
Tellyn Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Wii Music. Is it me, or is it the hardest music game in existance (if you want to sound remotely like the song you're playing)? How could Nintendo screw up this much? Try hitting the minus button, you'll get a Guitar Hero-like metronome up.
Cube Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Try hitting the minus button, you'll get a Guitar Hero-like metronome up. I did. Even when most stuff is close it sounds totally wrong.
dazzybee Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I did. Even when most stuff is close it sounds totally wrong. Well then it;s not the game it's you. You have no musical ability. Stick to your guitar heros where musical ability is unnecessary :p
Retro_Link Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Dewy's Adventure - £8.99 http://www.shopto.net/page.php?page=dettagli&codart=WIIDE01&n=Dewys%20Adventure&platform=WII
Gizmo Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Well then it;s not the game it's you. You have no musical ability. Stick to your guitar heros where musical ability is unnecessary :p I thought the point of Wii Music was to make it accessable to everyone.
Gio001 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I thought the point of Wii Music was to make it accessable to everyone. It's trying to be hardcore lol
Emasher Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Both require different skill sets. A real musician will most likely be good at both since both skills are really required to actually play a real instrument. I'm planning on buying GH:WT for the Wii once I can find it. Are the Wii GH:WT instruments compatible with the Wii version of Rock Band 2? I'm thinking I might pick that up at some point too if they are.
MadDog Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I'm sure somebody on here said that it is true that you can use WT Instruments on RB2. Will need confirmation from whoever actually said that
Gizmo Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Dunno about the Wii versions but its certainly true for the 360 ones as my friend has done so.
Tellyn Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I'm certain that only the GHIII controller is compatible with RB2, not any of the new equipment. Activision and EA were being shitty and one didn't pay the other a license fee, so customers suffer.
dazzybee Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 IGN said World Tour instruments DEFINITELY work with RB2!!
Emasher Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I looked it up, For the Wii version, WT instruments work with RB2, RB2 instruments don't work with WT. For every other version, everything works with everything pretty much. The reason is, Nintendo have a rule that all peripherals besides microphones must connect through the Wii remote rather than through USB. Harmonix didn't follow this rule and made the RB instruments work through USB, but Red Octane did listen and used the remote.
stuwii Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I still need help with Fifa 09- can you have more than one manager mode file?
ShadowV7 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Oh for the love of you god. If you didn't get a freaking answer every other time, what makes you think we have one now. If you can't make another one then perhaps you can't. As funny as this is, it's still annoying
Retro_Link Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 As funny as this is, it's still annoying It's got so annoying now that you have to laugh! Stuwii, surely the manual tells you simple things like how many files you can have open! And as Shadow' was saying, why not just try creating a new manager mode file and see if you can or not!
Ganepark32 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 http://www.gamekyo.com/newsen29628_next-grand-theft-auto-in-2009.html ^ Interesting if it's true. Would support rumours of GTA on the Wii coming out and it is a spin-off rather than the next one in the series from the small snippit the representative gave. Still, it's still rumour like GTA coming to the Wii so I guess we'll have to wait and see if anything comes from it.
