Quantcast



So, this will be my final video of the night. I wanted to show you guys what happens when you put in a GameCube disc and also what happens when you plug in the GC controllers -- even the Wavebird. I hope you all are enjoying the vids and that they're answering some lingering questions you may have had. We're having a lot of fun playing around with the console so far. It's like I'm 10 years old again or something. Very odd.

 

 

--One side note: I played about 10-15 minutes worth of Zelda tonight -- I've been up for just about 24 hours, so I have to call it a night -- but, the game already is a lot of fun with the Wii. I haven't been able to shoot my bow or anything yet, so I'm not sure if the preciseness with the Wiimote is better, but with what I have played, riding the horse and some of the other features are quite a lot of fun. Also, when I sat and played it, I just kinda lounged on the couch and rested the Wiimote and nunchuck on my legs in just about the most relaxed manner you can get and the game worked great like that. I'm looking forward to getting a good night's rest and playing a lot of Zelda tomorrow.

 

--Even another side note: I'm not sure if this is known or not, but you can turn off the Wii by hitting the power button on your Wiimote, ala the 360 controller.

When you plugged in the controller the first time, did you have the analog stick or d pad pushed up accidently? I know the controllers for the N64 I think it was when that happened, but I don't know about the Gamecube controllers.

It just seemed to be an issue with plugging it in that far slot.

I forgot to add, my GF actually said she got tired playing Excite Truck after about 30 minutes. She complained that her arms hurt from holding the controller up. She probably could have just rested her arms on her legs.

But, I will say this Brandan, when we played Wii Tennis and Wii Boxing (especially boxing) we were fairly active. I was working up a little bit of a sweat playing Boxing, in fact.

Yes, you are correct brandan, the reason to buy the Wii is so that you can be even lazier than before. You have got a sick and twisted world perspective little boy.

twesterm was 100% right.

It isnt a slot issue it was when you pluged in the controller the direction of the pad was up/down.

This is also an issue with the GC and N64. Soft reset was the answer or just unpluging it and sticking it back in.

I am very shocked that you don't know of this problem with pluging in controllers. It also has happened on my Xbox and PS2.

I am interested to know whether or not you made sure that the problem was with the port because the other solution seems more likley and I don't think a problem like a controller port not working at all should get past quality control.

Thanks for all of the cool videos. I'm even more psyched about the Nintendo Wii now.

Hmm, strange. It started working again. Hmmm...

Thanks for doing all these videos, Summa. It's nice to get a feel for the system already.

Summa, please try this: Try the wireless GC controller on the Wii... and also, please try a GC-controller on the Wii version of Zelda. Thank you!

Either the analog sticks were being held while the controller was plugged in, or Nintendo hates you with all the Nintendo bashing going on her recently.

Robert,

As everyone across the vast expanse of the intertubes received their Wiis yesterday, most everything has been shown off. Most! Here's what you need to do, be the first to find out what happens when you put a DS game into the SD slot.
Thank you good sir.

Mabec, he already did try the wireless GC controller (called the Wavebird by us in the know) in this very video. It worked fine.

Rimbaud, DS games are much bigger than SD cards.

How does Wii Tennis play? After reading Matt Casamassina's blog about it, I'm worried.

Wii tennis and the other games are just simple titles. Don't expect extreme realism.

Rimbaud: do you mean putting a DS rom on an SD card ? I'll bet you dollars to donuts that Nintendo DOES NOT want you playing DS roms on the Wii. If you meant physically stick a DS cart in the sd slot, Ballistic90 said, it wont fit

If your controller isn't working (scrolling up nonstop) then hold L & R and press START.

It should reset, and you should be fine.
