Emasher Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Actually looking back, the reviews it got were quite good. I must have been thinking of something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=150928 nope ngamer.. They were also I believe one of the first magazine to review any wii game not to mention red steel so I think it kinda went to their heads a bit...

Kirkatronics Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 If you're talking about controlling the Wii Menu with a Classic controller, you can already do that. It was implemented in the last update, which i believe was a few days ago. Is it compatable with GC ones too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 It was implemented in the last update, which i believe was a few days ago.Is it compatable with GC ones too? You could use the Classic Controller in the menu since as long as I've had a classic controller. I think I bought it early 2008. I don't know exactly when it was implemented though. There hasn't been any update since System Menu 4.0 (SD Menu was added), I just checked, and the GCN controller doesn't work in the menu. Neither the wavebird or the wired ones.

Definitely as long as I can remember anyway- though I didn't get a CC til about 4 months after the Wii came out, so there could have been an update in that period. I've always thought it would be super handy if you could use the GC controller too- even if it only allowed you to press A and boot up the disc. Its not a huge hassle to use the remote... but we do like things to be as convenient as possible, don't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I was about to say NGamer, then I remembered that their opinions don't count. right after my comment about which reviewer? You can't say that wasn't a knock at me er who hasn't gotten over what here? You always get defensive overtime I slag your magazine of choice.. no reviewers are perfect, Ngamer besides that review happen to be one of the better ones.. It's not like red steel is their only mistake though. Even edge piss me off with their use of language and they scare halo a little too high as well.. but besides this edge would be my favourite for scores.. At least for nintendo games.

It wasn't a knock at you, more a joking reference to your obsession with bringing up Red Steel whenever an excerpt or score from NGamer is mentioned. It didn't take you long at all to rant about it here, and even bring up a link, so point proven. Also, since when do we call opinions mistakes?

Columnar Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Totally unrelated to what you have all been debating about but I have a question... Are there any signs of Ultimate Shooting Collection getting a PAL release? Has anyone picked up the publishing rights. I know in the US it was some random company called UFO or something so that makes me think the chances are slim but still have any of you guys heard anything?

LostOverThere Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 That would be pretty cool. I didn't enjoy RE5 as much as the others, personally, so I doubt I'd get this if it came to the platform. But still, it's good news for Wii owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcel Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 i would rather have a new third person non onrails resident evil on wii, thats build on a new or upgraded resident evil 4 engine. (or the darkside chronicles engine, wow at graphics). But sinse nintendo refuses to invest in third parties like sony and m$ i doubt that will happen. Maybe if we're lucky we'll get a new resident evil at the wii2 launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Plans are afoot to spent £5m on building a 'computer games academy' in Liverpool, UK. According to a report in The Liverpool Daily Post, a National Games Academy in the city would be built to help it become 'breeding ground for the finest computer minds in the country'.

Emasher Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 At this point, I really doubt we'll see RE5 on the Wii. Judging by the attitude of that producer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I did try searching this, but has anybody tried or bought ea sports active? Doesn't really seemed to have been mentioned, it looks better than the wiifit and cheaper to boot (although I suppose if I bought the balance board it'd be over the pricing of wiifit), but I wanted to see if anybody had tried it before paying £34 for it.
