this is only slightly off topic. I didn't want to make a new thread for it and i thought it might help some folks.
if your wii online functions are all so slugish that they are almost unusable... try changing the channel on your wireless router to 1 or 11.
found a tip about it on the net and it seems to be helping me a lot.

um guys how do you play 2 player games with the Wii mote to player two? My friends were messing around with it and they wanted to play Street Fighter 2 and we couldn't get it to work the other day. Any suggestions?

This is what I learned (thanks GameFAQs!):
Every time you kill an enemy, your score goes up (you can check it by going to the status menu via START). Your "score" is essentially the same as EXP in an rpg, and at certain points you level up, meaning you get an added health bar.
Someone mentioned this, but the red things that pop out of the ground toward the end of 1-1 are extremely good for XP grinding. Just shoot right before they pop up, duck their fireballs, and repeat over and over. Having more health obviously makes the game exponentially easier. I haven't tried this out so I can't say how big of a pain in the ass it is, but there you go.

The game has four main areas with three levels and a "fortress" at the end of each one, except for the final level which is just one area.
Now that I've gained all this knowledge, it's time to tame this devilish beast.

Thanks for the info. I'm just going to have to devote some time to it, which I won't have much of until spring break.

Actually it's three main areas of three levels and a "fortress", the fourth area is almost like one small bonus stage.
Yeah that faqs was helpful, how are we supposed to know that there is a score system. There is a hidden score system behind the score system it shows in the menu. That score system gives you points for entering rooms, killing enemies, getting hearts, and lose points for shooting an arrow, getting hurt, etc. When you enter a room that is empty that means you failed to have the right score to increase yor level, those rooms are supposed to have a guy that says here take this and he gives you an arrow.

Yep like that room, but you are right there is no way to get the bonus there, no one knows why the devs put it there.

I found this on gamefront, don't know if someone already posted this. Something about Mystical Ninja on the VC.

I want the 64 version over here in the US... But seeing the trickle of 64 games on the VC.... I doubt it'll come anytime soon...GrimReaper said:
Anyways so to make it clear... So far the supporters for the VC are Konami, Capcom, Nintendo, Hudson, and Sega...Are there any I'm missing? And what other guys do you want to pop on the VC?

Fairy god mother has been busy, like helping George Bush win the elections, ensuring that Tom and Katie stay married, and making sure Norbit is No#1 in the box office. Miracles don't work themselves.

I think it's for people who have just started a New Game+ and are ready for an attack power promotion with their current total score.

You've nailed the biggest supporters, but there are quite a few more. Namco has actually been very active if you look at the Japanese side of things, releasing two Famicom games (Xevious & Galaga) and two PC-Engine games (Wonder Momo, Shadow Land). Koei has lined up Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV for Japan, and if the ESRB is to be trusted, the game will hit North America as well. Atlus just delivered Shin Megami Tensei in Japan, and ChunSoft released a Super Famicom game as well. And as mentioned earlier, Tecmo looks like it's gradually making its NES library accessible, with Solomon's Key already available, Mighty Bomb Jack coming soon, and who knows what else in the pipeline (Ninja Gaiden?).
Legend of the Mystical Ninja is AWESOME, one of the first SNES games I ever owned. Release it in the states Konami!
Wow really? Romance 4 is one of my best friend's favorite games of all time, he'd probably buy a wii just for that. I wonder if they'd have to take out the custom officer thing though (which would kill a lot of the fun).

US-version ROM files in the Wii Shop Channel Server for games that haven't been released yet:
- Legend of Kage (NES) [This is a new one]
- Excitebike (NES) [Been there since last week, but still unreleased]
- Donkey Kong Country (SNES) [Ditto]
- New Adventure Island (TG16) [Also new]
Count on at least some of these ones being released on Monday.

Taito ninja-themed action game for the NES. It was a VC launch title in Japan. Don't know much more about it though. If Donkey Kong Country, New Adventure Island, and The Legend of Kage all really do hit on Monday, that will leave Shadow Dancer as the only December Virtual Console title in Japan that isn't Japan-only.

Do I not know how to use the classic controller or is it a pain to use for Mario Kart 64? My hands still hurt after playing just one cup. :-(

Wow, I had no idea about New Adventure Island. Have you guys every played Wonder Boy for the Master System? I'm guessing this is a remake for Turbographx? I loved that game when I was a kid!!
Btw, why didnt nintendo include master system in vc? Not like I'd be hard or expensive to implement such a simple system.

Well, with way better graphics, and apparently cutscenes?
It cannot be said enough how the fix for Military Madness changes the experience of play. Really, everytime a big scenario appeared (since scenario 3 and on), you'd go "oh, shit, now I'll have to scroll back and forth". Not anymore.
About the game itself, I thought it was shorter than it actually is. I'm halfway through the campaign (level 9) and every combat can last about 50 minutes, although to be fair, halfway the combat you already know how's gonna lose or win.
Something i don't like is the inability to change positions for mines and cannons :-/
