Okay, that makes sense.

As I recall, I had no Mii...I was a guest. I still contend that four can play bowling and golf with 2 remotes

Good luck buying

[Thender]

Not the two bowling games I got... If four people want to play at the same time you have to have 4 controllers, which, I now have. And they are resting in their charging docks nicely...

Welcome to the Wii World my friend!

Have you been able to get online with it yet?

[Thender]

Nope... I have done every damn thing that they tell me to, but to no avail...

The weird thing is when I first started it up the connection test passed and the Wii downloaded an update... But when I try to start the Internet 24 thingy it gives me code 220602...

I have followed all of Nintendo's fixes and nothing works... Thinking maybe I need to get a different router....

On Wii Sports, up to 4 people can play Bowling with just one Wii remote. You just take turns using it. The same goes for Golf.

I currently only have one Wii remote. It's no biggie since I'm really the only one who plays the Wii.

Anyone who plans on buying Mario Kart Wii should get it at Nebraska Furniture Mart. If you buy it there, you get an extra wheel for free. This deal is good through Saturday.

Thanks T, Wii Sports must have been what I was playing.

I sucked at the Golf game, which oddly mirrors real life

[Thender]

Wally World and Target are also offering the free wheel with Mario Kart....

So hows the game?

[iwccgrad]

Well the game comes with 1 wheel. However NFM's Ad said you can get an extra wheel. So in theory you would get 2 wheels, and save $10.

[TNT_Tony]

^Exactly. That's why I said "extra" wheel.

I don't actually have the game yet. I probably won't get it until Friday or Saturday. Until then I'll just keep playing SSBB and SPM.

[Thender]

Well, that makes sense now...

I'm thinking about getting the game this week, too...

Yup, my Bro-in-law only has one and you just take turns.

I bought Mario Kart Wii.

So far I'm really enjoying the game. I wasn't sure I would like using the Wii Wheel, but after playing for awhile only using the wheel, I have to say I'm surprised how easy it is to use.

The only problem I had using the wheel was trying to drift. I was great at drifting in past Mario Kart games, but I had a little trouble at first in this game because of the wheel. Luckily after about a half hour or so I got used to drifting using the wheel, so all is good now.

[Thender]

I've had it since Tuesday but only played it once. Got used to drifting pretty quick...

I'll just save it for later. Plan on spending the whole day playing Zelda...

[TNT_Tony]

^I meant drifting as close to the off road as possible and building up mini boosts without actually going off road and screwing everything up.

I was really good at that using a d-pad or analog stick, but with the wheel, I would usually end up off road when trying to drift close to the edges. That's no longer an issue like I said earlier.

Another thing I would like to point out about the game is the battle mode. I actually read about this before, but forgot about it. Battle mode now forces you to play on teams as opposed to a free for all. It would've been one thing to have this as an option, but to force you to play this way is just dumb.

I guess I'll have to go back to Double Dash or Mario Kart DS for the free for all stuff.

I don't blame you for only playing Twilight Princess right now. That's a great game. Trying to find all of the poe souls was kind of a pain in the ass, however...

I forgot the name of our latest Wii game but it has Link from Zelda using his crossbow for target shooting.

BTW, cheers to Thender for finally getting his Wii.

[Thender]

Got that but haven't played it yet...

It's called "Link's Crossbow Training". How is it BTW?

[dracula]

Shouldn't you guys be downloading porn or something....

[Flounder]

Nothing wrong with porn...

[TNT_Tony]

I keep hearing that Iron Man is great. but apparently the game blows. It just got a 2 out of 5 on X-Play.

[KUfan_Donnie]

Has there been a decent game attached to a recent movie?

I didn't think Spider-man 2 was all that bad...kept me and my little brothers busy for awhile

I haven't heard anything about a video game about the Dark Knight...If there is one, I hope it will be as great as the movie looks

I'm not sure about this year, but last year some movie based games got good reviews. The only two I can think of right now are the DS version of Spider Man 3 (Which I own.) and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

As for Batman, the only upcoming Batman game I know of is Lego Batman.

[Dave]

The Chronicles of Riddick was the best game attached to a (lame) movie, that I can remember. It was only available on the Xbox I believe.
