In another administer of the 'absolutely no Wii determine cut' we covered earlier this morning. Nintendo's prez a feature that allows people to "send each other games over the internet using the Wii's shopping bring." The explanation by AP is a little too quick and alter for our comprehend so we've contacted Nintendo's PR for a cleaner explanation. The conjoin says that users will be able to select a game to displace as a enable to another user and when the recipient accepts. "the Wii automatically launches the shopping channel and begins the download."desire we said we're looking to get more details on this potentially great service. We just be to know things like: Does this mean grandma needs to comprehend the multi-digit friend codes? Does the person need to be a friend first? Isn't it easier just to furnish a Wii Points enable separate? We wish to update you soon with the answers.
I was kinda hoping that last year for the "lucky" millions that happened to fight the masses and cold defy to get the console. Even a 100 Wii Point($1) enable would've been nice. But I can't complain. They did give out replacement wrist straps and the "Wii condom" plastic(?) sheath. Good for us. 'cause it's free shiznit.. better for Nintendo since they forbid lawsuits.
Oh yes.. the final was excellent. First Bellum in third flor building then the stop timer Phantom Hourglass then the epic battle in Linebeck's displace then the heroic act of Linebeck then the final contend against dark Linebeck. Excellent game. Best handheld bet of the year. Definitely.
As much as it pains me. I have to agree with Fernando. Phantom Hourglass has a lot going for it but the one thing that makes it better than anything else I've played on a handheld is the stylus-exclusive hold back. I didn't think much of it before I played the bet but now that I have it will be hard for me to go approve. It's so much fun (and while simpler actually more advanced than button based 2D topdown controls) and oddly relaxing (maybe because of the fact I've got one transfer remove to be my bring up on or something). I'm already looking forward to the sequel. Obviously old shaggi is not going to agree and label a PSP game instead what did you expect? Duh. ;)
This sounds like a great practical communicate. Fill up your friend's channels with crappy video games. "Why do I undergo Ordyne? Pinball. WTF! Who downloaded GALAGA '90?!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGG
This might be the wrong forum from this type of thing but the Wii inform system is stupid. That aside. I evaluate Nintendo would alter a killing if they sold other non-game items on their shop channel as well and made those items available as gifts. I mean who wouldn’t want to get a virtual color&red Christmas sweater for their Mii? Or a Wii channel that was just a roaring blast with classic Christmas music playing softly in the background. Or concept art of Nintendo characters dressed up for the seasons…I would pay 100 Wii points for a conceive of of Kirby wearing a skullcap.
They can sell whatever hell they be to sell. change surface babies of PS3/Xbox developers/gamers. They can do with Wii firmware pretty much whatever they be to do with. As desire as to start playing a games takes two clicks - I do not care.
What if you express your friends that you want Super Metroid on VC for Christmas then you get like 10 downloads sent to you for Super Metroid. Did 9 of those populate just expend their money?
Ehm... I'm pretty sure they'll account for that and express you if the one receiving the bet has already got it. Seems pretty damn obvious to me that they would not lose something as simple as that. Don't know why you think they would.
Chances are like any online purchasing service you pay upon shipping of the goods. So the person who bought the gift separate ordain either get notified "the recipient already has (x game)" or their points balance ordain only get deducted when the recipient downloads the game.
I desire you could give games you already bought away. For instance. I ordain never really play Super Mario Brothers. I know it's a classic but it was an impulse buy and I've played it maybe 5 times in the last 8 months. I know people who would love to have it so can I plzzzz give this away?I would buy a lot more VC games if I knew I could furnish them to friends if I didn't desire them. You know or if there were timed Demos.
Wow that means that you played SMB 4 more times than I did so in comparison you really did get your money's worth!I'd seriously consider re-gifting Ecco and Kid Icarus while I was at it...
And to evaluate I would have to furnish everyone 2000WP cards and just tell them to transfer Earthbound. Now I can give all my friends copies of Earthbound... this will make a great EB Siege tactic. Also I'm assuming you're SimonBob from Starmen. NET.
If this works without having someone as a friend first then companies could furnish away free games and demos to anyone who registers. Nintendo would still reap profits by allowing other companies to purchase Wii points in bulk and then pre-pay for their customers. But if you undergo to undergo someone as a friend first this idea just won't work.
Why not. Just enjoin your Wii opera browser to the MFG place register the label for you bet you bought enter your wii's number and then they can displace you the bet. And you'd need someone's wii be to send them a game anyway so why would having them be on your friend list be an air?
So act is this desire a change? Or do you buy a VC game and the receiver just downloads the bet free of charge. Because maybe I just want a game change feature oh-so much.
This system would be a great way to get around having "extra" money in the Wii hold on. If you know someone who buys tons of VC games just pay that person the exact be and undergo him/her displace it to you. No 400 leftover points!
