Guest CK92842 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Gamesaves are insanely small and would probably never fill up an entire 1GB SD card however if you're looking to buy games on the Virtual Console and archive them because the 512MB of the Wii's internal memory is filled up then yeah you might want something with more memory. Here's an average of the file sizes based off a few ROMs I have on my PC... 200KB - NES games 1.3MB - SNES games 16.9MB - N64 games Oh and my Mario Galaxy (Wii) gamesave is 108KB, hope this bit of info helps.

Guest colorstoobright Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Speaking of Brawl, Snake's final smash just released! Can't wait for the 10th.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CK92842 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Speaking of Brawl, Snake's final smash just released! Can't wait for the 10th.. Rats! Looks like I'll make SSBB my birthday present after all. This new rumor has been spreading like wildfire and because it's Nintendo comes as no surprise. Basically the game is being delayed another month, this coming in from a online VG retailer who's spilled the beans of it a few hours ago. That and the fact that when I went to go log in my gamefly account there it was on the bottom of my queue list no longer with a 2/10 release date but instead 3/12/08.

At least it's not official until Dojo states it. According to the people on Smash Boards, there was a same topic made for the second delay yesterday but Dojo wasn't updated so I'm sticking with the fact that it's not delayed. eta: It's highly possible that Gamefly changed their date because that's the date they'll have it available for renting since mostly everywhere else has the same Feb. date. And last week Japan released their first Brawl commercial for tv! Lucky for them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And last week Japan released their first Brawl commercial for tv! Lucky for them.. Gamefly as far as I know is pretty spot on with their release dates. They broke the news on the House of the Dead series hitting the Wii before anyone and in the past I've gotten games a few days in advance of the release date so I don't think their taking a shot in the dark here. I sincerely hope I'm wrong here but if Nintendo feels that it could use some more tweaking then I guess we all can do nothing but wait. Look how Mario Galaxy turned out after all. Bit of a geek moment here so bear with me... "A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever." - Shigeru Miyamoto. And by the way, what's the deal with Wii Fit hitting the states? I have yet to hear anything as far as release dates go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colorstoobright Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 The responses to this rumor have more proof than that is IS getting delayed, so.. I'm sticking to my guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest colorstoobright Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 just got my Wii but it won't connect to the internet what should I do ?? Can't really help since I don't know anything about your router, so check http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/w...bleshooting.jsp I suppose one of the main questions is, do you have a password to your router?

Guest Poetic Prophet Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I love my wii, but have made several bad buys...like harry potter: order of the phoenix, Elebits... however i am pleased with how it plays, and i can't play madden any other way... I do enjoy Super mario galaxy (getting used to the controls was a bit nauseating) but after 10 minutes it all went away. I like many other people on the board can't wait for smash brothers...and i might have to download pokemon snap. I remember going to blockbuster with my mom to rent a n64 (cause i didnt have one) and pokemon snap when it came out...yea that says a lil too much there. i may still have a few pics of mew on the lil sticker photo thingys you could get. Im still surprised though that despite being an inferior system (spec wise) to the 360 and ps3, its still selling like crazy. Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RS Trax Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Today brings two releases of classic games on the Wii Shop's Virtual Console. Pac-Attack Super NES® 1-2 players Rated E for Everyone 800 Wii Points Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Attack Riot Zone TurboGrafx16 CD-ROM 1 player Rated E 10+ for Everyone 10 and Older - Tobacco Reference, Violence 800 Wii Points Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_Zone ------------------ New titles for Wii this week: *Nitrobike Wiki *Furu Furu Park Wiki Samurai Warriors: Katana Wiki CSI: Hard Evidence Wiki Action Girlz Racing Wiki ------------------ Bionic Commando Petition! I think some of you may know that the classic NES title, Bionic Commando. Capcom is looking to bring back the sequel to the next generation for Xbox360, PS3, and PC systems. This is a petition to get them to work on a version for Wii system as well. Hopefully this will go through and inspire Capcom to bring this monstrous title for Wii. Already, there are over an astounding 5000 signatures! Read and Sign the online petition here: http://www.petitiononline.com/0819/petition.html Also please help by spreading the word to your friends, family, neighbors, classmates. Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_Commando ------------------- Guitar Hero III [Wii] owners! For those of you who haven't seen this yet or those who do not want to call in to have their replacement disc mailed, you can visit the Activision disc replacement website. Here's what Activision says will happen: "Once the replacement discs are available, the replacement program will begin. We will send you a disc replacement package which will consist of exchange instructions, a replacement disc claim form, and a postage paid envelope for you to return your current copy of the Wii version of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Once you receive your package, please complete the claim form and return your original game as directed. Once we receive your game, we will mail you the free replacement disc." Just fill out the form at the following link to take part in the replacement disc program. http://www.activisiongameexchange.com/ kpd, that's a good question that might've been asked at the Activision website's FAQs. I'm sure DLC is a given for sometime in 2008 as they mentioned months back. No matter which version of the disc, both should auto update when you load up the game at the time they release the content which may probably be on WiiWare. ------------------ The WiiWare service, expected to launch this March, will allow users to download original software titles through the Wii Shop Channel using Wii Points. Source ------------------- Shin'en Multimedia, a game creator and leading audio producer for Nintendo platforms, has announced plans to lend the company's audio outsourcing services to WiiWare developers. The aural experts at Shin'en Multimedia will create and offer custom data solutions for WiiWare titles. Shin'en expects original sequenced soundtracks to use only a fraction of the resources normally required for streamed audio. The studio did not say when these tools will become available or for what price. Founded in 1999, Shin'en Multimedia has provided audio middleware and soundtracks for nearly 200 games. Their official Web site provides further information about their services. http://www.shinen.com/ ------------------- Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword has been given a firm Japanese release date of March 20th, 2008. Not yet has it been announced for North America, but let's hope it'll be around the same time. New screenshots arose at Dengenki: http://dol.dengeki.com/data/news/2008/1/11...31574bc614.html Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_Gaiden_Dragon_Sword Official website: http://www.tecmo.co.jp/product/ngds/ ------------------- Smash Bros. DOJO!! updates us with the following. Newcomer: Captain Olimar & Pikmin (from Pikmin) His moves include.. Standard Special Move: Pikmin Pluck, where he plucks out Pikmin from the ground (up to 6 max). Side Special Move: Pikmin Throw, where Olimar throws Pikmin and latches onto an opponent and drain their energy.

This time around you battle against the Red Alloy, Blue Alloy, Green Alloy, and Yellow Alloys. Now it even includes 2-player mode as well as an online co-op mode with a friend. Snake's Final Smash: Grenade Launcher Some online stores have been updating theirs site with a North American release date for Brawl a month later on March (rumor of another delay?). Though, the official site still says February, so we'll stick to that. Release Dates: JP - Jan 25th, NA - Feb 5th!
