WTF Trauma Center 2nd Opinion 4:3?

First those lazy assholes decide to cockup the idea and make it a remake. Then those fuckers don't even do 16:9 support WTF?
Has anyone played this enough to tell me if stretching the image is going to rape my surgical performance?

Not at all. The only problem is the anime characters look kind of funny stretched; but they look kind of funny at the correct aspect ratio, too, so it's no biggie.
Is it any easier in this version/how the fuck was I supposed to do that anyway?
猿も木から落ちる
It's easier here. YOu can just lift a single triangle instead of slicing it out after you despike. I developed a "healing touch and rapid-fire-yank" strategy that works well to handle those.
For the Tritri, I don't know if you've heard this explanation before, but:
[spoiler:76ae2b026a]The triangles spawn on the sides of other trianges where two spikes are adjacent to each other. The more efficient way of handling the operation is to remove every other spike on the other perimeter of the Tritri mass (so none are next to each other), then remove another spike and start cutting away/removing. The cheap but often effective manuever is to hit the Healing Touch, remove them all, go apeshit with the scalpel and then remove 'em all.[/spoiler:76ae2b026a]
I haven't gotten to that one yet on 2nd Opinion, so I can't vouch for the difficulty, but if you're really stuck you can adjust the difficulty level on the fly at the mission select screen, so pop down to Easy and then go back up for the others.

Really, there's like no other way
I was always pissed I gave up on the first game. I'll try this.
猿も木から落ちる
Yeah, for me the tritrti was one of my hardest ones. I just couldn't figure out a truly effective way to eliminate it. It gets easier though, but it just takes patience at first.
I have had it for a few weeks and it displays 16:9 on my screen. It might be stretched I guess, but it sure does not look stretched to me. Always looked fine, never gave it a second thought.
My wii is set to 16:9 and the game fills the full screen and looks great. I don't see a problem.

Operation goes perfectly, but when I should use the healing touch, I fail 10 times and the patient dies.
Even if all the did was move the UI to the outside edges, they could have done something with that space.
Was this on a 16:9 set? This is a place where I would expect the stretching might be a problem.
猿も木から落ちる
I went and practiced a whoooooooole lot till I could do it super quick on the first try. Now its no issue. And half the easy game I didn't use HT anyway, the controls are just too good.
Yeah, most 4:3 games look just fine when played in 16:9 resolution. Never had any problems with that.
Tritri is pretty much universally reviled, so don't let it stop you. The endgame is really where the game hits its full stride, although be forewarned that there is a third, final version of Tritri.
[spoiler:a60752d15c]Drop down to easy difficulty. Use the healing touch and haul ass to remove all the thorns then all the membranes. I beat it in, like, 29 seconds but my score was terrible. I didn't care.[/spoiler:a60752d15c]
Is this Wii or DS? You say drop to easy and I don't remember being able to do that on DS so I assume Wii.
猿も木から落ちる
Yeah. I know It looks little stretched, but it isn't really that bad. And I also know that there few people for who think it is matter of life and death, and get hilariously melodramatic* over it.
* This wasn't meant for you really, LewieP, but certain other people that I have met.
To the point that whenever I watch a movie at any of my friends house, it has become a running joke to ask me if it is at the correct aspect ratio about every 10 minutes...
I hope you can handle two Deftera at the same time without using Healing Touch then, because later you'll need to work on four patients in the same operation. Triti comes first, so if you blow HT you won't have it against Kyriaki, Deftera, and one other. I don't know what the last one is, probably Peskevi or Tetarti. I'm stuck on this mission because I can't beat Triti without HT either, but that twin Deftera bullshit destroys me too.
[spoiler:9c77f1a80d]I finally figured out that it only reproduces when I remove one of the scales, so by plucking the thorns on one whole side and then forcepping like a madman I was able to get through and it only took like eighteen hours...[/spoiler:9c77f1a80d]

It's just way hard for me without that. Currently, I can't beat The Explosive Patient. The last stage gets me every time, even after I mastered the third stage of it.
So frustrating!
And shit Delzhand, really? I could only beat that first twin deftera level by using HT. I must really suck at this game.
猿も木から落ちる
Yeah, that's basically it.
[spoiler:f40eeaafc1]Precision and speed are key, which is unfortunate, because more of one tends to decrease the other. The first thing you need to do is remove every other thorn on the virus' edges. Thorns must be pulled up, then over, and placed on the tray. Most of my mistakes that cause delays are from not pulling up first and/or missing the tray in my haste to get the thorns out. Ignore the thorns bordering the edge of the operation field, because Triti cannot replicate that way. I remove the triangles in the middle first, because they're the ones closest to being isolated and have more thorns that can threaten to replicate. Also remember that a triangle that is alone, with alone meaning there are no other triangles bordering a side (corners don't count), will replicate by itself. So, when you get a group down to the last two, you must remove them as close to simultaneously as possible.[/spoiler:f40eeaafc1]
It'd difficult and takes practice, but after my first two encounters with Triti, I've never used the Healing Touch, even on the X Missions.
[spoiler:14a432c11c]Are you Healing Touch-ing after completing the laser tag/panel elimination portion? For some reason it just never occured to me to do that for a long time and I kept dying on the weird electric field thingy. Ka-boom. Then I HT'd and beat it in one go.[/spoiler:14a432c11c]

Patience or [spoiler:b28f63b5f7]healing touch[/spoiler:b28f63b5f7] is the key to that part.
seriously, they deserve to rot in hell.

Ah that helps a good bit. Thanks.
I don't understand when people don't notice the stretching... it drives me out of my mind
