Wii complain.Follow

I would really like to see a gamecube controller attachment for the remote, I've been spoiled by all of the wireless controllers now and having to be tethered to the Wii is less than optimal.

I wish you could rearrange your channels (if you can and know how let me know).

When playing the Wii on my 42" Plasma, it seems that the pointer movement when navigating the Wii menu or playing games is choppy and sluggish. I have no idea why this would be, but I can't find anyone else who is having this problem. It's a little disappointing, because I get 10x better response playing on one of my smaller TVs but I don't get the great looking screen that the 42" offers.

I think All HDTVs have some sort of lag associated with them. I know I've always had to adjust guitar hero for HDTV tvs and Smash lags as well.

Short article mainly focused on 360 lag, but I'm too tired to care more. Hopefully it helps some.

Wii has a similar feature, but I find both to be annoying. Why do I have to wait 5 seconds and navigate a menu to turn off a controller? Whatever happened to the good old on/off switch?

Wavebird? It's got a tad of lag in them but the controller itself is still solid.



Go to the settings of the wii (lower left-hand corner on the channel menu), then go to screen, then sensor bar. You can adjust your sensitivity from there. If you touch up the sensitivity a bit it might reduce the lag; I know i need to turn it up most of the time in order to play trauma center, because it sucks *** to have a sluggish suturing needle.

Also, get rechargable batteries, or even ask for them for the holidays. I have a pack of 6 AAs and a charger and it's quite easy to swap 'em out and charge for a bit, even with two wii remotes. I'm not saying that it's not an oversight by nintendo (it is, and they really should have just made the remote a chargeable thing like with a DS) but its an easy enough problem to fix.

I can verify that this is some class A ******** from IGN though... I used at least 7 changes of batteries through twilight princess, and I had a 70 hour cleartime. Generally I've gotten ten hours of play out of two AAs, which really does require some recharging capability in order to be economical. Getting a charger is a good investment.

Yup, always worksp perfectly fine otherwise. The battery life was just horrible.

Maybe it was a problem with the batteries I was using, before I got my rechargable ones. It was pretty predictable though, that whenever I hit a 10hour mark in twilight princess playtime, I would need a battery change.

Metroid fared a little better, generally lasting for two days worth of playing (probably 16 hours).

I definitely agree with no.2, it's annoying to have to use an adaptor or stick to create a connection. Especially since my computer regularly crashes on the program needed so I lose the connection.

I haven't installed it on my new computer, so not certain how Vista treats it.

And a simple on/off button would have been very nice.


Mind you, apart from my PC, I'm using the PS3 more and more these days. Wii is fun, but not as addictive as the other two.

When you decide to abandon the quest to become a *****, look up Nintendo again. They'll take you back I'm sure, because they are caring like that.

More to the point...

I'd ask you to name another software developer that consistently puts out as much quality as Nintendo. The only other developer that I can think of myself is NIS, and NIS is not very broad; they merely excel at srpgs and rpgs. Nintendo has not only developed the most consistently excellent software across the decades (spanning every genre which I can imagine for that matter), but has done it with the least powerful machine of each respective generation. While I do not pretend like the 360 has a poor library (for in fact it's library is decent enough: Bioshock, CoD4, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and other's make it a system at least worthy of buying) Microsoft itself is a pretty ****** developer.

One buys a Nintendo anything for the purpose of playing the first party titles which it releases. That's by no means the most fantastic arrangement (and while I suppose Nintendo could go the way of SEGA, promising us the best quality games on a stronger system, that didn't actually work out so well for SEGA) but the games are still there. It's a depressing thought to see people fail to recognize that; behind the small processing power and the odd name and controller lie some of the most beautiful and engaging games made by anyone.

I love my PS3, I am actually starting to regret buying the Wii. Never use it anymore. The system is great.

Well it depends on what you like to play (I hope you bought the wii with a list of games in mind, instead of just getting it because everyone else was). If you really don't use it anymore then you should sell it for a fair price on ebay, because there are still plenty of people out there who actually want one, and will get a lot of use out of it.

I'll probably get a ps3 in '09 or '10, depending on what else comes out besides KH3. If they can start making some damned rpgs for it then I'd actually think it worth the price for a moment. Right now the only things I will miss playing are KH3, MGS4, and FF13. There are just no good console rpgs out at the moment and it kinda pisses me off. I'd enjoy a Suikoden VI for example.

I was lured in by the hype in part though, I won't deny that. At first the sports was fun, I really looked forward to playing a Zelda game (never played one before) and the general idea behind the controller is one I like. But sports is done, I really don't like Zelda and even Smooth moves is starting to bore me.

I'll wait till the Star Wars game this year, looks very promising. I'll keep the console though, lots of games coming out and since I have one, might aswell use it from time to time. Or until an offer comes I can't refuse, but given the fact that the Wii isn't sold out here, I doubt that'll happen.

Majora's Mask was the worst Zelda, aside from the Abomination of Gamelon, of course.



You'd be better off getting master quest on the gcn. At least you get the hard version as well, and it's not too expensive anymore.

I hated the fact that no matter what I did, as soon as I played that song of time, the poor little monkey would be right back in the cage, waiting to be eaten. That goes for the other levels too.

I just lost any sense of progression and got despondent with it.
