Called them again today when they opened. They took our information again, and said again that they'd call us back. This time they said in 2 days. Unfortunately, we're going on vacation for 5 days, with no wifi, so we're s*** out of luck.

Thanks, Nintendo.

Keep pestering them Neko. That's how I always get it done, though never with Nintendo since I've never had an issue with anything of theirs.

Wavebird works fine. At least, it did when I tried Resident Evil 4 last night.

Never got a call back from Nintendo.

I checked the VC channel today and it showed that Sonic is compatible with the Gamecube controller. I think it's safe to say that all Genesis games will be able to use it.

haha you can't take anything positively, can you.

Because it's so hard to imagine that something would go wrong, right? I mean, your single positive experience means that nothing bad is happening to anyone else, right?

I want my points or my $10, I don't care which.

jesus, it figures something like that would happen to someone who's typically a critic. :/ it's been smooth and sexy sailing for me (after.. here's some sympathy for you, neko. *cyberpat*

Can't wait for TG-16 games.. I was really looking forward to some Bomberman '93 or '94 at launch, but I guess it'll be sometime before the end of the year. Oh well.

For the record, you CAN put your VC games on an SD card. You just can't take that SD card and play those VC games on someone else's console. It only functions on yours. It states this in the system manual.

Oh Joesteele, thanks a lot, someone that can help me too? pleeease Miami gamesarefun!

muguga:

At this point, its looking pretty grim, but tell your buddy to try looking around at major electronics retailers: Futureshop, Best Buy, Target, Wal Mart, Comp USA (maybe), Circuit City, and I'm sure there are others down in Florida I'm forgetting.

Don't bother with places like gamestop/EB, since they took pre-orders.

***IMPORTANT EMERGENCY***
Hi,
some people know that i'm from Ecuador South-America. The problem is that, today a friend of mine is going to be in miami until this Wednesday november 23th.
Please people tell me, there are Wiis in miami?! she will be searching for one with Zelda tomorrow. Please Miami Gamesarefun! help me.

"So can someone confirm for me that in Mario 64 the L button is used for the crouching/hip drop function? I can't imagine trying to use that Z button for it. :\"

Read a few posts down. It's changed from when I played at E3 (IE: unplayable for skilled players). L is mapped to Z, though in my opinion it should be fully customizable.

And once again, if GAMETAP can emulate Saturn games, there's no reason NINTENDO can't.

I camped a non-superstore Wal-Mart with two friends. we got there at 7, I was number 12 of 30. at midnight, they started letting us in 5 at a time, with the option of purchasing as many titles as we wanted, but only one of each. (no buying multiple copies of Zelda.) we were also limited to one additional Wiimote and one classic controller if we so chose. I ended up grabbing the console, Zelda, a Wiimote and the Classic controller.

I was glad to be as far up the list as I was, as it didn't look like there were many accessories or copies of Zelda left by the time I got in.

also, a fun fact for those wondering: you can play import Gamecube games, if you have a Gamecube Game Shark or Freeloader, on your Wii. the disc swapping actually functions exactly as it did on the 'cube.

Looking forward to Gunstar Heroes becoming available. As for earlier posts about long waits; I camped in front of a 24 hr Walmart for about 6 hours, only for their stock numbers to mysteriously drop by 4. I got bumped off, and ended up at Circuit City in the morning, last one in line. Every other place... 2 Targets, 2 other Walmarts, 2 Best Buys, 1 Toys R Us, and about 5 EB Games/Gamestops... all overloaded. What a glorious and frustrating time it was.

sequel to nights please

If Gametap can do it, so can Nintendo.

.... I'll stick to my cube controller for now thank you since I won't be able to take the Wii wifi for till I get back from thanksgiving....

Guardian Heroes please. I mean, I have my Saturn hooked up, but I'd like to not have to have it hooked up.

We have a better chance of getting SNK's games though considering how much SNK seems to love Nintendo's lower costs.

And I can only understand the Classic Controller being uncomfortable and awkward if you have big hands. My hands are fairly average size and it fits me like a glove.

Saturn games please.

It's a bad sign that the MSX isn't even addressed.

I just pick'd up my Wii, the classic controller and a few games today^^. The Classic contoller is small!!

bounchfx: "i hate the classic controller, its so f***ing uncomfortable"

Have you actual seen//held the Classic controller? Get back to me when actually played a game with it.. lol

I have four versions of ocarina of time: 2 on bonus disks for my gamecube, the original and master quest. however, i will purchase it again if the wii remote nunchuck control system is re done for the game. that would be sweet.

Genesis and TurboGrafx-16 are likely undetermined because Nintedo is leaving it up to them to decide how they want their games played. Otherwise, they'd know, right?

I played the Wii for my first time today. The controller worked perfectly.

GC's L and R buttons are horrible for pre-GC games. the stuff they have make them hard to use with games that use L/R a lot. i have some problems with OoT/MM with it.

dizzy - It has it's own appeal, doesn't it?

Frankly, I'm glad my GCN controller will work with the VC at all. And, come on, if the Wiimote can handle Genesis games, surely the GCN controller can handle, say, Gunstar Heroes.

Here in Toronto, there are a number of lines (PS3 was crazy). Nothing rowdy, but there are lines outside the bigger stores already. Yay for pre-order hookups!

Any idea on when the next Wii shipment is?

Every ****ING store in this Texas small town I'm in has full lines or full camp-outs. Couldn't find ANYBODY to play videogames, and, on the most crucial day possible, WHAM, HERE THEY COME. Like roaches.

So when's the next shipment?

reminds me of a SNES controller without a dip in the middle of it.

the classic controller looks a lot like this other controller for the gamecube....actually taht was basically a snes controller shaped gamecube controller anyway...which is what this classic one it! except with joysticks! yeah! woooo.

i probably won't download anything from this virtual console if i get a wii, but i'll probably get that controller anyway because it looks much more comfortable then the others.

I'm so glad that the virtual console will support the Gamecube controllers, seeing as I already have a few. I don't see why it wouldn't be supported on the Genesis or TurboGrafx though. Let's hope it is.
