Wii Warm Up: QWERTY

May 2nd 2008 12:14PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Apple makes a a great wireless Bluetooh keyboard...it is not cheap (natch') but it is very high quality.

Have not tried it with the Wii yet...as I just got it last week, but I don't really surf much with the Wii.

Anyone used one of these with their Wii?

Wii Warm Up: The worst mini-game

That is HILARIOUS...and SO TRUE!

Can I just say that I HATE the POW block.

Wii Warm Up: Upgraded for Wii

Oh yeah...I forgot Luigi's Mansion. I know that technically Nintendo could just make a sequel to this game, but it would be SO GREAT! Am I the only one who loved this game?

Can't you just see using the remote to suck up the ghosts?

Katamari Damacy...rolling with a tilt? Genius!

I would also like to see a Burnout game...think of the carnage you could inflict by guiding your car with waggle...you could even play the 'hand of god' and so a two fisted slam into the tanker trucks.


Wii Warm Up: Favorite tracks?

Apr 29th 2008 2:58PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I tried the Remote/Nunchuck combo last night...and I like it! It seems to be a little more sensitive than the wheel alone. (although I do like using the wheel...a lot).

My favorite tracks so far are Coconut Mall and Mushroom Gorge from the new batch, and Delfino Square from the retro group.

I miss Baby Park though...so manic!

Wii Warm Up: Taking the wheel

Hey Orion -

Thanks for the suggestion. I keep pressing down on the remote to make sure that it is in there all the way, and it still feels a little too loose. It's a real drag when you start a power slide and nothing happens.

Wii Warm Up: Taking the wheel

Apr 28th 2008 10:53AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I picked up an additional wheel when I picked up the game at Target yesterday morning.

I am having fun with the wheel, and have not yet tried out the other control options. While I was playing online(!) yesterday, I noticed that 11 of the 12 people playing were using the wheel.

My only issue is that for some reason, the 'B' trigger is unresponsive some times. I keep checking to see that I have it inserted into the wheel correctly, so I am continually pushing down on the remote to make sure it is lodges in place.

The only thing I can think of is that I have the Nyko ChargeStation, and it has those rubberized battery covers...those could be adding just enough to keep them from seating properly.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Moo Moo Farm from MK:DS

Nice quick track with great twists & turns.

Wii Warm Up: Button placement

Apr 24th 2008 10:19AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I also have large hands, and I find that *occasionally* I have issues trying to get to the 1 & 2 Buttons. But I can't recall any games that use those too much.

My wish list for revisions: slightly larger d-pad w/slightly more rounded edges, a little wider & thicker controller (just a smidge larger - like Samfish says), and cord free nunchucks (this one is not that big of a deal to me, though).

I DON'T wish for the remote to go up in weight or lose the perfect weight balance it now has.

I find that playing in 'classic' 2 handed horizontal style actually gives me cramps worse than using like a pointer. The added thickness would help with that, I am sure.

Baby Park...so chaotic. So fun...so short.

Also Luigi's Mansion from MK:DS.

Hugs - Neal
