Nitendo wii people, lil help por favor.

If you like skiing and snowboarding SSX Tricky is pretty good. I've got the Madden 2007?, but haven't played it much. I think you get more control with it using the remote and the nunchuck. A few more options than the way you play it on Xbox or PS.
So just how graphic is Manhunt 2? Isn't the controversy about how you can pretty much dismember someone?
Also, has everyone gotten the free rubber protectors from Nintendo for your controllers? You may have seen them in the stores with different colors. It's a rubberize protector to help keep from breaking the controller if you drop it. Nintendo decided that they should offer these for free. If you go to the Nintendo web page, then go to the Wii link, there is something there that discusses how to get the covers. Doesn't cost a dime, not even shipping. I ordered four, and got them yesterday (took about two weeks). Just as good of a deal as the free TDS Meters!!

I have played Red Steel and it was decent. Zelda is great and Super Monkey Ball isnt bad either. I have also heard great things about Metroid and Mario Galaxy. Need For Speed Carbon was pretty bad in my opinion.

Do you know the story from the original Manhunt on PS2?

Yea these things suck. I can't even use them with my charger stand. (Which sucks in itself BTW) I think they were meant so if the controller slips out of your hand that it just bounces off the TV and not through it.

Zelda is awesome, tiger woods pga tour is awesome too. A buddie of mine has the metroid but i havent got to play it yet. He said its almost as good as zelda.

I like red steel, it can be tricky getting used to the controls but its not bad. Zelda as everyone says is AMAZING. Call of duty 3 is pretty cool, but sometimes the controls are really really annoying you just gotta play with them. Metroid I really like. Super mario galaxy and super smash bros brawl are going to be winners when they come out.

see....i didnt really like metroid that much. decent graphics, and the gameplay was pretty good, but just something about it didnt get me hooked like zelda did.
as for the rubber protectors, they look like the same concept as the ones people get for their i-phones. i have 4 ordered, but i didnt know that they dont work with the charging stand.

My wife got me Guitar Hero III for my BD. That baby ROCKS!!! The first couple of levels are old 70's and 80's songs (La Grange, Black Magic Woman, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, some Bad Company, etc.). Kinda of funny cause my kids give me the ,"Who played these songs?" attitude. What's even better is, they like them!!!

I got my protectors last week....in some spots on the controller the rubber sticks about and inch off it. so if you have the Nyko charger stand they are worthless....BTW if you do have the Nyko charger stand....do you have problems with the contacts not working right where you have to move the controller around for a minute to get a good connection? this drives me nuts

 

[juice_1080]

BTW Wii graphics aren't going to get any better than they already are. They based the system off of the Wii-mote movement and tried to make it cost efficient. They didn't allow the system enough processing to get any better than (or even as good as IMO) the PS2. But thats why its less then 1/2 the price of the PS3 and still prolly more fun.

YES I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MINE ALSO. BUT IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE MOVED AROUND ALL THAT MUCH THOUGH.

The charger stands just basically suck in general i use duracell rechargables its so much easier. And Juice is exactly right and the Wii is totally more fun than 360 or PS3

 

[juice_1080]

Me, I'm not a

[hr]
gamer anymore and usually only pick up a controller once a month if that so the Wii is perfect for me. I do wish it had a little better graphics but its not in my best interest to pay more for it. I know that no matter how good the graphics or wii-mote improves the game I still won't play it more often (besides the exception of Manhunt 2 until I beat it)
Yea I was happy when I found out that I wasn't going to have to buy batteries again for the controllers and then I found out that the chargers are horrid. I can get a good connection, walk away and come back 5 minutes later and its no longer connected....I'm surprised they could even release something that is that faulty.
If I were you and you where thinking about buying the Nyko charger buy rechargeable batteries instead...its cheaper and more reliable...I've heard alot about these things melting Wii-motes and starting fires

wow I guess they block the word hard core
