I miss having a Wii.

If this ends up on the out of context thread I'll kill you all.

Are there any Wii games that deal with adult themes like death, literature or starvation

Super Mario Galaxy.

I heard from a fairly metal source that madworld is brutal

death: phoenix wright on wiiware
starvation: lost in blue shipwrecked
literature: i dunno, the agatha christie one maybe

I've got Madworld and Disaster: Day of Crisis lying around at home unplayed - I'm hopefully moving my wii onto my Big Gaming TV this weekend then I'll have a go at Adult Themes like killing with guns & stuff (for about five minutes then I'll put Mario on).

the new mario looks amazing :_(

Trauma Team is really good btw, except for the Endoscopy section where they really screwed up the controls - luckily though you can skip any sections you don't want to play. the Forensics section is kind of like Phoenix Wright with Persona 4 graphics - probably woould bore a lot of people but i love it. oh and there's lots of death, how 'adult'.

suck many dicks, Nintendo

what games are they talking about?

Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower. what really sucks is that Xenoblade's actually getting a European release, so it's already been translated into English but Nintendo's just like NOPE JUST BUY ZELDA

1. netflix streaming in the room where my xbox isnt
2. glad this isnt a POX.

i mean those games look p good and all but i feel like nintendo of america is probably less 'just buy zelda' than 'only 20 ppl purchased muramasa the demon blade but everyone who did went out and bought a psp'

they should just do them in limited numbers then. gouge the nerds, me included.

gaf meltdowns have been entertaining
getting xenoblade though, best jrpg this gen going by jp reviews

nah the thing is that Nintendo could easily just sell off the NA rights, Atlus would probably take it off their hands easy

lamp probably right, tho

lamp definitely right.

Xenoblade gets a 9/10 from EG

mine's in the post!

Nintendo discontinues GC compatability in all new models of the Wii: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-08-17-nintendo-discontinuing-current-wii-model

That's kind of shitty though I guess I never really did play too many of my old GC games
I did like the idea that one Nintendo system could essentially play every Nintendo game though

where's my Xenoblade, postman :/
current metacritic of 91 btw

finally found a good USB adapter for the Classic Controller!

works great w/ emulators, indie platformers like Cave Story/La Mulana/Iji, etc.

think I'll probably finish Super Mario Galaxy in the next few goes when I get some free weekend time

is SMG2 worth getting myself for Christmas then?

Which of these cheap games I should get?

Twilight Princess
Bully
Goldeneye
Resident Evil

TP

Bully's a fair bit of fun imo

RE4 is my favorite Wii game

poo: Okami, for sure, even despite some of the really annoying bits where the brush strokes don't register.

So is there any news about whether or not GC games will make it onto the Virtual Console? GC was truly my least-used Nintendo console ever, but there are still a few games worth playing on it. Wind Waker, Eternal Darkness... and I have a soft spot for Tony Hawk 3...

sadly I doubt they will - they could definitely make them available on the WiiU VC, but without GC controller ports (phased out in the latest model of the Wii, hard to imagine that they'd bring them back for the WiiU) they'd be all but unplayable. sic transit gloria Thousand Year Door.

Xenoblade is awesome if kinda fugly

broke down and ordered Xenoblade

Anyone here play Monster Hunter? Got Tri and it makes me feel like a million bucks.

finally finished Xenoblade
best JRPG in years, seriously
just does so many simple things right (save anywhere, instant travel almost everywhere, simple but fun combat system, no forcing of who is in your party, exp awarded for exploring the vast areas (which load incredibly quickly, some serious voodoo going on here), not having to return to 90% of quest givers etc etc)

negatives? it's pretty enough until models etc are close up and then things look terrible. this only really comes into play during cutscenes which are all in-engine, then the textures & low poly counts become really obvious. the english dub is very uneven, after a while it does take on a campy charm but the repetition of lines during battles can be very wearing. the story is pretty good for a JRPG but, well that's one hell of a qualifier - its a JRPG dood.
