flameboy Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 thats a good one, better than the last one that been going around...
Phube Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I wouldn't want to play NES or SNES games on a GC controller!!! It'd never work!
flameboy Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I wouldn't want to play NES or SNES games on a GC controller!!! It'd never work! yeah the dpad is way too small, altho apparently you can use the analogue stick, not sure how good this will feel though.
thebenmaster Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 yeah the dpad is way too small, altho apparently you can use the analogue stick, not sure how good this will feel though. But it will be easier on the thumbs doing hadoukens and shoryukens playing street fighter 2 turbo
nekunando Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 But it will be easier on the thumbs doing hadoukens and shoryukens playing street fighter 2 turbo ..was doing a few of those the other night on some Street Fighter Anniversary thing or something on the PS2 and my thumb was pretty sore after it.. but then I've always had that problem with the Playstation pads.. and the analogue stick is hardly an accuarate alternative on the Dual Shock.............

Teppo Holmqvist Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Good news.... some Penny Arcade forum posters have confirmed that you can play PC-Engine's Bomberman '93 with five players. You just need to have four cube controllers and one wiimote.

flameboy Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 That's cool, does that suggest the possibility of some 8 player games on there in the future? I'd say yes and no. someone correct me if I'm wrong but the Wii can only detect a certain amount of wiimotes at once.bluetooth is limited in how many devices it can connect to at once. so you could have 4 player if you had 4 cube controllers and 4 wiimotes/classic controller (depending on format)

You can only connect seven bluetooth devices to single receiver. That's one reason why we won't see wireless nunchuk.
Tellyn Posted November 24, 2006 Author Posted November 24, 2006 The GC pads have a separate connection, so it's definitely possible to have eight player plus four Wiimotes. I'll update this by the end of the night.
Guest Stefkov Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 You can only connect seven bluetooth devices to single receiver. That's one reason why we won't see wireless nunchuk. If i remember correctly the PS3 could once have 7 players? I remember this, as i thought it wierd, how could you have 7 players on one screen? I dont know why i mentioned this. I just remember the PS3 had 7 player option, but by the looks of it theyve gone back to four on the controllers. I dont like this idea of connecting to the Wii shop channel online. Someone could hack into it and do stuff. Thus nintendo will probably make stuff a lot tighter or scrap the thing maybe. i dont want that to happen before we even get the Wii.
BlueStar Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 From speaking to people who've used Snes9x on their cube, it's actually a good emulator. The Genisis emulator is dodgy though.

They havn't scarped it on PS3, if you have more than four players connected the lights double up so player five would have 1 and 4 illuminated and so on...

Oh no way. I thought witht he pictures is was only 4. But why 7? so uneven. wouldnt you need 2 tvs for that aswell. And i think i answered my question, the PS3 has 2 tv outs doesnt it? i remember reading this the same time as reading 7 controllers. Back onto the VC. Gunstar Heroes will cost me 800 points won't it? damn. I need that game, plus Donkey Kong and Zelda.

I think the two tv output has been scrapped, sure it says that in Edge, but it definitly still supports 8 players. As for Gunstar Heroes yeah 800 points,. I want it to, Gunstar Heroes, Bomberman 93 and Zelda it is for me.
Tellyn Posted November 27, 2006 Author Posted November 27, 2006 Apologies for not updating, it shall be done.
Stocka Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I need confirmation. Is it true that you got some Wii Points with the Classic Controller?
flameboy Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I need confirmation. Is it true that you got some Wii Points with the Classic Controller? I don't think its been officially confirmed, people just guessing we may cos japan do, does anyone know if US do? maybe they get free wiipoints with classic controller and EU and US get Wii Sports free instead?!
Guest Stefkov Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I need confirmation. Is it true that you got some Wii Points with the Classic Controller? I'd like to know aswell. In N-gamer, it has the tiniest of little articles that the Japanese will get Points with the Classic Controller. It also has pics of 1000/3000/5000 points cards aswell. All we've seen are 2000 points, so that article is old. Unless ive missed something.

Guest Stefkov Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 If this is true then im definitely getting a classic controller !! :shock: pic and pic
flameboy Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 If this is true then im definitely getting a classic controller !! :shock:pic and pic surely not!? thats madness I'll get one for defo, I will more than be able to get all the VC games I want... for those who can't be bothered to click the links:
Guest Stefkov Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 WTF those words were not there when i posted that original image......even wierder. If thats true, then i could definitely get Gunstar Heroes, Zelda and Donkey kong and have ..plenty of points left.
