Jack Suber Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 We got the Wii last year and have really enjoyed it. We have been looking for the Wii fit but have not beenable to find it around here. This Christmas, I got....I mean my son got Guitar Hero World Tour. We have the original Guitar Hero so this was a neat change. A lot of good new songs, inlcuding Sweet Home Alabama and Hotel California. Both are very difficult. I have not been able to get Sweet Home Alabama down.....(as a Southerner, that feels like a sacrilege). You can also duel Uncle Ted, the Motor City Mad Man. Its a lot of fun. They are advertising that a Metallica version will be out in the Spring. I too would like to see a action shooting game for the Wii. I think it has a lot of potential. I am going .... I mean "we" are going to buy NCAA Football 09 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1b Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Okay, here's my "hate the Wii": Gimme the Shooting Sports USA arcade game on the Wii and a good, accurate lightgun! Lord, how much would you pay for that?H. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizer Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Well the kids got a wii for x-mas and I got the Perfect Shot pistol, target terror and ghost squad for myself! Looks like I will be doing some creative "training". The Ghost Squad got me sold... Will be getting a Wii this month end. Got myself an old BBSpringer to mod.

Graham Smith Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I played on one of these over the holidays at a friends house and have mixed feelings. I can see how it could be fun, but the motion controls are not very good - at least that was my impression. A small move does nothing and a bigger move shoots the cursor off the screen. We were trying out "Tiger Woods Golf" (my friend is a golfer) and it seemed that you could either hit the ball hard or soft fairly easily but anything in between was difficult to do and even more difficult to reproduce. It seems designed for gross movements only. The same thing seemed to be the case in all the games people played. Perhaps what I need to find is a game that suits me. Not so much running and jumping about, but stealth and strategy. I really miss games like Zork where you had to explore every nook and cranny and find things and solve puzzles. But I rather expect that these games would not appeal to the main gaming demographic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket35 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I had a good time playing the Wii with my kids and all the nieces and nephews. 8 kids and I played practically all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizer Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 If I'm not mistaken, you can 'tune' the wiimote to your liking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played Tiger Woods, but the golf on the Wii sports is the only touchy game that I've found with the Wii. Even that, I think, is just a matter of getting used to it.

They hava a Zelda. I haven't played it, but it's rated very high. If you like shooting stuff along the way, then Resident Evil 4 rocks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) There is a lot of homemade guns modified with the remote inside for realistic look and feel when playing GhostSquad or COD but get a load of this one !! Link:http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/12/2...-sort-of-scary/ I think I'm going to try to zip tie the remote to the bottom of my Limited gun !!

Kaizer Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Been browsing Homebrews for Wii and found this thread... http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,5238,5238 By default, Wii can play online Flash games it seems (Wii newbie here) and the guys there are talking about making it able to play flash based games or read flash offline as well. So, if someone creates a simple IPSC/USPSA/IDPA stage based flash games, wouldn't that be cool? A short stage would be ideal and simplest, but movement can be incorporated as well? Furthermore, players can post their score here (something like a postal match). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2osport Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 The ipsc flash game sounds cool. I have been playing Dangerous Hunts 2009 with the WII pistol. Something different. Long range rifle shots amplify gun movement via trigger, etc. Unfortunately you do not use the sights on the gun . Also like the WII fit game.

Kaizer Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Link's Crossbow is interesting besides from Ghost Squad. About using the sights, why not use the sights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reneet Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) You can't use the sights because there is no way to align them with the hit as far as I can tell. If there is some way to align, please share. Just got off the phone with Nintendo. There is no way to change where the Wiimote is hitting other than changing where it points.
