Wii Online Games
by webmaster on Oct.17, 2010, under Wii
In this Wii Online games article, we would talk about how to maximize your Nintendo Wii online usage, so that you could get the most out of your Wii. The Wii Online Games Service offer 2 major functionality. First, just like PS3 and XBOX 360, Wii allowed you to play the retail Wii games online. Not all games support this feature though, and those which support it do not do a very good job at it at all (sometimes…). One of the worst experience I had with my Wii is when I played Mario Kart Wii. Although now it plays fine, there was a time when a certain influx of users would cause the game to be unable to access its online functions. I think it is due to server crashing or something.
One of the best Wii online games that I find until now, despite all the problems with its unstable online functionality as I’ve mentioned before, is still Mario Kart. Nothing could beat the feeling of racing with other people online, especially if you could do some nasty stuff to them. And with the list of 24 Nintendo characters, 32 tracks, and 36 vehicles, this is the game that you could get the most fun of in a while. Other Wii online games that I really enjoy is Animal Crossing City Folk. This game is the first Wii game to use Wii Speak, a new microphone option for the Wii that enables voice communication over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (WFC). With Wii Speak, all people in a room can communicate with those in another room also containing the device, and can also have live text chat using a USB Keyboard. Players can communicate with other players by sending messages to their town, Wii Message Board, mobile phone or personal computer. The last game that I would really recommend because of its exciting online service is Super Smash Bros Brawl. Brawl allows players to play against distant opponents via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Online multiplayer games can be played either with registered friends or with randomly selected participants. Additionally, players can converse with up to four phrases that are preset by the player, which appear as speech bubbles when activated. The game even have Spectator mode which allows players to watch matches being played between other players, and bet on the outcome using coins earned within the game. The winner of the match earns a jackpot of coins.
The other Wii Online Games service is WiiWare. It is a service that provide a smaller and lower-budgeted Wii games. These games and applications can only be purchased and downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel under the WiiWare section. Once you have downloaded the game or application, it will appear in your Wii Menu as a new channel. There are lots of Wii Ware games, but the most famous one would surely be Megaman 9 which was released September 22, 2008 in US. There are also other good games like World of Goo, which is a high-rated PC game that rely heavily on physic puzzles, Pokemon games, and even Final Fantasy games (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as A King).
In Wii Online games universe, WiiWare is a companion to the Virtual Console, which specializes in emulated games originally developed for other systems instead of original titles. These titles are run in their original forms through software emulation, and can be purchased for between 500 and 1200 Wii Points depending on system and rarity and/or demand. The library of past games currently consists of titles originating from the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and Nintendo 64, as well as Sega’s Master System and Mega Drive/Genesis, NEC’s TurboGrafx-16 and TurboGrafx-CD, SNK’s Neo Geo AES, Commodore 64 (Europe and North America only) and MSX (Japan only). Virtual Console Arcade allows players to download video arcade games. Some high profile games that are available until now include, Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Megaman, and lots of others.
I guess this is the brief summary of Wii Online games. Hope you find this information useful and…actually you could grab all these games for free. To know more: FREE Wii Online Games

Need Some Wii Remote Troubleshooting Assistance?
by webmaster on Sep.24, 2010, under Wii
Well, as you know, there are three main competitors on the video game industry. Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Sony’s Playstation 3, and Ninendo’s Wii.
Microsoft’s Xbox 360 has nice action games and it came a year earlier than the rest of it’s competitors. Sony’s Playstation 3 is a powerhouse at the cost of a hefty price tag. There’s still controversy about which of both systems has better graphics, both for videogames and for playing DVDs.
The Nintendo Wii, on the other hand, doesn’t equal the processing power or the graphics display of any of the other two main consoles. However, it’s the most popular console by far.
How can it be? Well, it’s cheaper for one. It’s also the only console that has the Mario and Zelda series.
But most of all, it’s the movement. That’s what the Nintendo Wii brought to the table and it paid off. When you want your character to swing a sword, it’s much more satisfying to swing your own Wii remote than to press a button. It’s the same for bowling, batting or any or the many activities that the Wii remote imitates.
But what happens when your Wii remote doesn’t function properly? Let’s say that your swings take too long to register. Your character will react and move later than you did, so it will miss the target. And in a hectic game, you can’t just move a second or two in anticipation, so that your character will move in time, not to mention that it would make all the natural feeling about it disappear.
However, you don’t need to spend your money in another Wii remote and throw the old one to the garbage. All you need is some basic Wii remote troubleshooting assistance. It will help you solve movement registering problems, as well as stuck buttons, jumping cursors, sticky buttons, etc. A Wii remote troubleshooting guide will also teach you how to give proper maintenance to your Wii remotes so that problems won’t arise.

Tips For Installing Your Nintendo Wii
by webmaster on Aug.08, 2010, under Wii
Before connecting your Nintendo Wii anywhere, decide first how you would like to position it. You can choose whether you want to lay it flat or let it stand vertically using the Wii console stand and plate that comes with the package. This allows you a little flexibility in terms of storage options so you won’t have a lot of concerns when it comes to space. An important thing to note though: position your it to allow enough space for the internal fan to work.
Plugging the console
Next, plug the AC cord into the input connector that is located at the back of the console. The console has an AV (Audio/Video) Multi-Out plug that lets you connect to most TV and VCR units. Connect the AV Cable plugs into the connectors on your TV. Take care to note the color code of the connectors: red for right audio input, white for left audio input and yellow for video input.
After the connectors are in place, turn on the TV and the Wii console. On the TV, look for Input Select, AUX for auxiliary or Source or EXT for external. Use the channel where you’re usually tuned in to view videos. Choose the Nintendo game.
Connecting to the VCR
If you want to use the VCR, set the unit to VCR and then put in a tape, press play and then press stop. The game image should show up on the screen. If your speakers are plugged in, the sound should come out from there.
Locating the sensor bar
The Sensor Bar may be placed near the TV, ideally above or below the screen. Insert the Sensor plug into the Sensor connector found on the back of the console. However else you may wish to mount it, make sure the Sensor Bar is aligned close to the TV, preferably in front.
Check the System Setting of the console to ensure that the location option for the Sensor Bar is set accordingly. To check if the location is ideal, take note of the reception and make necessary adjustments.
Using the Wiimote
Two AA batteries are used with the Wiimote. Use the wrist strap to keep the remote snug and fit in your hand. There is no problem about synchronizing the Wiimote that already comes included in your package, but if you are using additional units, you might need to synch them to use them properly.
To synch, you can use the standard mode or the one-time mode. The one-time mode is reserved for Wiimotes you don’t usually use with your console and the standard mode is used for additional units.
Nintendo Wii Accessories You Ought to Have
Nintendo is one of the top innovators when it comes to accessories such as controllers and its designs have become a much sought-after industry standard. The Nintendo Wii by itself comes with some simple fun via is Wii Sports game, but if you want to enjoy the experience to the fullest, here are a few accessories you might want to pick up for yourself:
More controllers
Nintendo Wii comes complete with a two-in-one controller : that is, a nunchuk and a Wiimote, but you might want more for two-player games like boxing or tennis. The Wii can accommodate four controllers, but get an extra nunchuk for $20 and another Wiimote for $40 to maximize your game.
GameCube memory cards
Why? If you’re playing GameCube games on the Wii, you’ll want to save your efforts in case you need to take a break and you can’t do that to the Wii’s built-in memory. You can only save to a GameCube memory card. Older GameCube cards will do, but if you don’t have one, be prepared to shell out about $25.
GameCube controllers
Nintendo Wii has backward adaptability in that it can still accommodate GameCube, although you’ll need a GameCube controller to play the game to satisfy your nostalgia. GC controller will cost about $25 or get a wireless Nintendo WaveBird for a few dollars more, although your older GC controllers will suffice.
SD Card
Time will come when you’ll use up the Wii’s 512MB, so give yourself more space with a new SD card. Although you can buy one from Nintendo, any SD card will do. A good one to get is a 1GB card for all the space you need and that will set you back by about $25 to $30.
Batteries
Get the rechargeable ones because the Wiimote is a regular power gobbler. It uses two standard AAs which are included in the Wii package and with the controller unit in case you’re buying a separate one. You’ll need extra battery power for the nunchuk. You can save more if you buy rechargeable NiMH ones and a charger.
Wii Points
Not exactly your hard accessory per se, but this is one of the draws of the Wii’s Virtual Console. The Wii Points are good to have if you plan to buy Nintendo’s classic games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Donkey Kong and Super Mario 64. The Wii Points function like real currency and has a dollar exchange rate of 100 points to 1 US dollar. Buy the points via Nintendo’s prepaid cards or from its online store.
