Sent to die on May 19, I bet. You're going to have to do a lot of gifting in order to make a difference.

STUPID Channel!

Let me recommend NO MORE HEROES!!

Arrgh, i hate now. You're nothing but a spyware-installing marketing tool to increase sales of catalogue Nintendo games! poohie.

So I see this thread and then decide to download. Then I realise I have no blocks.

Fuck that shit, I won't bother getting this channel till there's a storage solution. I'm not about to delete my VC games which I happen to actually PLAY.

Not that I want to offend those of you in this thread whose names Jesus spake, but those of us who want a storage solution would prefer it if you did take the time to clear just enough space for this channel, and then allow your stats (which includes remaining block count) to be sent to Nintendo. It certainly can't hurt our cause.

Finally, you can view videos for nearly every VC title available with this channel. Should have had this feature on the Wii Shop Channel at launch.

I am still curious if I should buy it or not. On EGM Live, it sounded like tons of fun, but there is already snowboarding and skiing that come with wiifit anyway.

oh, and Microsoft and Sony need to do something similar. Sony already does have something similar with download titles, but not games in stores. I am talking about just a way to get facts about a game and a short video.

Nothing says "buy me" like watching androgynous stage hands from the 80s playing the game.


I have to say, at first I was ticked because of all the opt-ins and stuff, but I have to say, I am impressed by the presentation and stuff on the channel.

Definitely looking forward to seeing what they do with it.

Hey, with MKW, there's no need for MK64, right? The lack of the voting channel might be a problem, though... how will you ever know if most folks think that elephants can purr?

The Crosswords game is amazingly fun... much better interface than the NYT one.

MK64 is an abomination that I'd never buy anyway. I'll never understand why I downloaded the voting channel though...

I never bought the NYT one as I presumed it would be amero-centric. Is this the case for Nintendo's offering? It didn't appear to be in the demo, asides from some american spelling...

Oh, wait... I misread earlier... you deleted the MKWii channel thingy. Gotcha. I'm still curious what's filling up your system memory: a variety of smaller VC games, or a few of the N64/TurboCD games?

I don't have the real game at the moment; I was just going by my impressions of the demo. The Nintendo Crosswords interface is much, much better than the NYT one... the puzzles (demo, at least) seem easier as well.

Mainly Turbo games. Best system ever.

Hrm... well if you get it, let me know. I don't like the sound of it being "easier" than NYT... I beat the "hard" puzzle in the demo in under ten minutes...

My prediction for EB's release:

"Four new RPG titles released in the Wii Shop Channel! EarthBound, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VII, and Halo 3!"

Now, I know you probably meant VI... but I'm a jerk who just felt like pointing it out.

I'm gonna probably go pick up an SD card for my Wii instead of constantly having to remove and re-download stuff for the Wii Channel, although for now I think I'm fine with that.

I really would like a HDD but if it doesn't come then i'll work around it. It's just a hassle thats all espically with devolpers annoucing so many Wiiware titles lately.

No, I'm pretty sure he meant VII. He's saying that he's convinced that Earthbound being released on VC is about as likely as the most famous Playstation and Xbox 360 games being relased. IE, NOT VERY LIKELY.

Protip ; )

Also, Wiifit looks interesting o_O

So does the channel take you to the internet channel if you say you want to purchase the game? If so that's kinda cool.
Click to expand...

Yeah take's you to the internet Channel and looks for sites selling the game. You can set in your prefered ordering site and it will go there first.

Why dont you copy all your games to a SD card? (yes it takes ages but you only have to do it once)

Copying the games back to the wii is faster. You don't have to deal with the slow wii shop channel and you don't have to rely on your internet connection.

Don't naysay. In the new issue of NP it's the readers number 1 pick for game most wanted on the VC, and it's been re-esrb rated. Though I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to NOT release it. Oh what an abusive relationship.

I expect it because every pc emu for the past 10 years has allowed you to play online. There's no reason why Nintendo couldn't add this into their emulators

Actually, I was saying they'd release it alongside the VC releases of CT, FFVII, and Halo 3, JUST to say "well EB didn't sell very well, so we're destroying any and all assets related to the series in all regions until all traces of its existence are wiped from the face of the Earth".

That's NoA for you.

Sony are clearly ahead in online content, and they don't provide this, but I've only ever heard bitching from the Nintendo side of things.

This just isn't going to officially happen.

Yeah it's a gorgeous game but the controls left a lot to be desired... I ended up just throwing stars at the enemies most of the time.
