I'm really happy with the Wii, overall. Took my time with Mario Galaxy, but now I've got all 120 stars. My family loves Big Brain Academy, they play it every day. 3 things I noticed: - I bought a component cable and was surprised to find that, on a HDTV screen, it's a mixed bag... Colors are better, everything is sharper, but the downside is that alias and jaggies are much more visible. Maybe I'll switch back to composite. - The one thing I'm really unhappy with is Virtual Console. I downloaded Zelda II, for it's the only Zelda I never finished. But the emulation feels sooo slow and unresponsive. Haven't tried the GameCube pad yet, maybe it's because of the wireless connection. But if Nintendo don't fix that, it's a huge disappointment for me. - Every now and then, the disk drive makes funny noises when I put a game in. Then it unsuccessfully tries to mount the disk for a minute, and then I get an error screen. It happened with every game, almost once a day... so I guess I'll have to replace my Wii. Will I be able to re-download the channels I already bought? |
Call nintendo.. they'll send you a mailing label pretty much right away and get it back to you, I got mine all done(including receiving the label) in under 2 weeks. I'm not sure about now because of season but anytime you get an error, something is wrong contact them. Nintendo CS literally will get your call and have you on your way within 20 minutes(I don't think I've ever held on their CS line for more then that.) As far as the lag... I don't have ANY... do you have any other Blue tooth items in your home that are running? If so the signal from that could interfere and make it lag, check it out. If you have anything you can try changing the channels on it. Same with even radio frequencies, try to sync up everything in your house that's wireless even if it's a different frequency type so that they're all as far away in signal as possible ^^b And yeah in a lot of the Gamecube games basically ported over or redone for Wii partly through production, you'll see a lot of jaggies but in a lot of games it's just fine. What kind of TV do you have it might be the TV's scaling that makes the jaggies outrageous, I have a problem with then in Zelda TP(pretty much a GCN game. so I'll forgive it) and very mildly in Metroid Prime 3 but my TV does a decent job of stretching the image evenly. In the end the component will do you much better then composite trust me. As a side note, does anybody else get Scaling noise on their TV? I get it only with the Wii and it actually causes a slight line across the lower portion, no colors, it's more like an orbing effect that bounces around for a second and vanishes. I used to get in on my PS3 untill I switched to HDMI. Anybody got any ideas how to fix it?
