The Wii Sports on iPhone gag is nothing more than an unclickable banner ad, making us wish the joke was taken a bit further. The Betamax to HD-DVD converter, on the other hand, is quite the stroke of genius. The idea alone is brilliant, made even more so by the "promotional" video, viewable after the break.
If it's any consolation, it's entirely possible that the footage was recorded off of a Betamax cassette.
I'm sending mine to repair after an incident; I could buy yours if it isn't too crappy.
Also you probably bought all the shovel-ware because the Wii have many great titles. Hell I bought No more heroes in discount at launch and I couldn't believe it. While Sonic and Mario was at full price NMH was at half price and for something as good as No more heroes I thought it was either the wrong game or Killer 99.
Here a few Wii games that don’t suck:
Metroid Prime No more heroes Super Mario Paper Super Mario Galaxy Resident Evil: The Umbrella chronicles
Afrika The Agency The Amphibianman Angel Love Online Aqua Big Time Revenge Brave Arms Buzz! Quiz TV Chain Limit Coded Arms: Assualt Codename: Sengoku DC Universe Disagea 3 Driver Eight Days Everybody's Golf World Tour Eye of Judgment Eydentify
Howl, do you keep getting dumber? How many of those games that you listed have actually been released? So you don't actually know if they're good, do you? Minus 1 for being a moron.
My fiance and I both have iPhones and they are truly revolutionary... Don't knock it until you try it... I have had a blackberry, blackjack, Razr and a nokia phone that actually had a full blown camcorder on it... The iPhone (IMO) is by far the best phone I have ever owned and is more of a small computer than it is a phone... I mean professionally speaking I am able to access information on the fly with a full blown web browser that has already paid for its self 10 fold... I can see why some rich kid having one would give you that impression but as a business tool the iPhone is under rated. They just need to tighten up the e-mail client on it and it will be a perfect device. Especially when the apps roll in now that the SDK has been released... I would love to access my slingbox on the iphones pretty screen... Granted over Edge it will be less than stellar but over Wi-Fi it will be fantastic... Anyway, when used as a business tool (in my profession anyway) it has replaced a few other devices... Hopefully they improve the camera in the next version and add an IR attachment for certain functions related to my business it would be the perfect device... Just rambling a bit
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
lol i with they would include a slot on their for laser discs too. as for the the wii sports on the i-phone, thatd be everyone worst nightmare if nintendo joined apple and started making shit together, wait for it.....................wait for it...................................eh who knows, maybe one day.
At least post explanations behind your posts like you used to, Howl. The simple hate posts are starting to make the values on my trollometer rise fast.
What you fail to realize is that there is a target audience for games such as Wii Sports and Mario Party, as Nintendo has repeatedly stated since 2005, and get this - We aren't it!... although far too many trolls speak as though we are. Tell me Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, LoZ:TP, Brawl, SPM, etc. weren't made for us, though, and I'd simply laugh in your face. I will agree that it just doesn't have the same amount of triple A titles as the 360 or even the PS3, but that certainly doesn't make it a shitty system. I'm not regretting the purchase of any of my systems (and I own the trifecta).
never said they needed help, just that itd be interesting since apple is microsofts mortal enemy, and theyre dabbling within all things electronic. i wouldnt be suprised to see them wanna enter the gaming field, and itd be neat to see what all they could do with the current crop of devices they have nintendos games and systems all working together.
lol that had almost nothing to do with a single thing in this post, but ok. i wasnt aware that them using their own licensed characters in all their games was a crime? fuck, thats some news i didnt hear
That's odd, I wouldn't consider myself a kid (in fact, I daresay my gaming history trumps most if not all of the Joystiq posters I've met here. I'm a bit of an elitist bastard), and yet I've been enjoying my Wii just as much as my 360 and PS3. Sure, it doesn't have as many AAA titles as the latter systems, but (and I hate to use this saying...) I'd take quality over quantity any day. Super Mario Galaxy alone makes me not regret buying a Wii, and thats before I factor in the 16 other Wii games I own that don't suck.
About Super Mario Galaxy. While there have been mixed reactions in regards to the game 'round here (some of you just didn't like the gameplay) you must appreciate the art style and the music specifically.
so since its made by nintendo you only have it to entertain kids is that what your saying? the system cant appeal to anyone like myself whos 24 years of age? or anyone i know that comes down and played RE:UC, wii sports, SMG, or brawl? those are all meant for kids ai assume right? or are you so fuckin high on yourself that you can only play FPS's and the like cause thats the only things the quote on quote hardcore play :P
Just listen to the lyrics, yeah you are probably going to downvote me but I don't care. Yes is just my opinion but I just wanted to tell you why I'm posting this. Here now this is the story all about how My life got flipped, turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air
In west Philadelphia born and raised On the playground where I spent most of my days Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of guys said "we're up in no good" Started making trouble in my neighbourhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared And said "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in bel-air"
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the Licensplate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabby "yo, home smell you later" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air
Because the verse on the air-plane aired with just about zero and a half episodes, and it is just obscure enough to make the person writing it come off as an arrogant jerk.
It's ashame you feel that way, because as Kickassness pointed out, they are all pretty awesome! I guess that's just my opinion, though. Doesn't matter to me, as long as they keep making good games, I don't care who is on the cover!

But we, hahahaha, we, we are the real trolls. We are the ones who can troll you.
Hahahahahaha POW!
I have yet to play a canon Mario game that I'd say wasn't worth the purchase.
I have yet to play a canon Metroid game besides Hunters that I'd say wasn't worth the purchase.
I have yet to play a canon Pokemon game that I'd say wasn't worth the purchase.
I have yet to play a canon Zelda game (besides Twilight Princess) that I'd say wasn't worth the purchase.
And so on, and so on...
My philosophy is this - why would I give a shit about playing as the same character over and over if playing with said character is still fun?

Here now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said "we're up in no good"
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in bel-air"
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
Licensplate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "yo, home smell you later"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air
YOU JUST GOT BELL AIR'D.
