    Imagine how good mgs4 would be with waggle.

    yeah but MGS4 is for an older crowd so I dont think the wii would really want to jeopardize their 9 yr old target audience. :p

    You are floating dangerously in the fanboy flame zone. Keep that stuff outside.

    We just want to fap the next 4 days to prepare ourselves for the best fapping in 6 years.

    OH sorry. yeah, didn't mean to start a flame war, I wanna fap in preparation to SSBB too (possible the greatest game evar???) and to someone else...you know who you are toots.

    Melee was patched slightly between versions. There's some minor difference with bowser from some of the first run melee copies and later ones.

    Also, the PAL version nerfed Sheik's down-throw (and her chain grab by effect) and removed the ice-climbers freeze glitch.

    Not all items are from games.

    As a matter of fact, either the mine or cloak's trophy in Melee said it was from "TOP SECRET".

    Wait, is that a prototype from Melee? or is that actually from Brawl?

    Another question regarding online play.

    Scenario:

    Player A and Player B have both registered each other's Wii friend codes.
    Player A and Player C have both registered each other's Wii friend codes.
    Player B and Player C have NOT registered each other's Wii friend codes.

    If Player A, Player B, and Player C are all in the Wifi "with friends" menu, which combinations of players can play together? Obviously Player A can play in a game with either Player B or Player C, but can all three play in one game together? If so, would this only happen if Player A were "hosting" the game?

    I guess I haven't read very many specifics of how "with friends" match setups work. Someone has to "host" a game for others to join, I take it?

    Sorry if this was all made painfully clear somewhere, but all I've ever seen on Wifi play is the happy path scenario where two people register each other's Wii codes and then play together online.

    Edit: Yes, I know I asked more than one question here.

    It seems to be the case that you can join a room that a friend is in, even if he is playing with "strangers". I don't know how hosting effects it, however. You are given the option to click-to-add the other people to your friend list when you get in the room, also.
    Oh, hot damn. That is nice. Registering Wii friend codes is nearly as painful as waiting for March 9.

    And I just noticed in your sig that you have an SSBB code. Is the Wii friend code sufficient to play SSBB with others? Or do you need to enter their SSBB code as well?

    You only need the SSBB code to play. The Wii friend code is only used for trading content.

    Actually, if two people with Wii Codes registered both play Brawl, it will auto-add their Brawl codes.

    Holy quote tree Batman.

    Yes, this is true. But the original statement was that if you've shared the original Wii system code, you don't have to share Brawl codes. Which is fundamentally no different than initially sharing a gamertag.

    I'd say its easier to remember a gamertag than 16 numbers. Considering a gamertag has actual words in it half the time.

    Another question regarding online play.

    Scenario:

    Player A and Player B have both registered each other's Wii friend codes.
    Player A and Player C have both registered each other's Wii friend codes.
    Player B and Player C have NOT registered each other's Wii friend codes.

    If Player A, Player B, and Player C are all in the Wifi "with friends" menu, which combinations of players can play together? Obviously Player A can play in a game with either Player B or Player C, but can all three play in one game together? If so, would this only happen if Player A were "hosting" the game?

    I guess I haven't read very many specifics of how "with friends" match setups work. Someone has to "host" a game for others to join, I take it?

    Sorry if this was all made painfully clear somewhere, but all I've ever seen on Wifi play is the happy path scenario where two people register each other's Wii codes and then play together online.

    Edit: Yes, I know I asked more than one question here.

    It seems to be the case that you can join a room that a friend is in, even if he is playing with "strangers". I don't know how hosting effects it, however. You are given the option to click-to-add the other people to your friend list when you get in the room, also.
    Oh, hot damn. That is nice. Registering Wii friend codes is nearly as painful as waiting for March 9.

    And I just noticed in your sig that you have an SSBB code. Is the Wii friend code sufficient to play SSBB with others? Or do you need to enter their SSBB code as well?
    No. Nintendo's brutal regime of online stupid requires a Friend Code for Brawl.
    Actually, if two people with Wii Codes registered both play Brawl, it will auto-add their Brawl codes.
    That's nice, but you're still entering annoying codes.
    How is that specific example any different from entering a gamertag?
    It'll be the same when the average gamertag is 12 randomly generated numbers.

    Have you seen the average gamertag? A few words strung together with anywhere between 2 to 4 random numbers at the end. Memorizable only to the wackjob who created it.
    This is a ridiculous exaggeration. Gamertags are made of words. They might not make a whole lot of sense, but you're lying if you think Sephirothbishie12345 is harder to remember than 059658-192854-19258.

    I never understood this, especially when you're using a Wiimote to input the code/name.
    Fundamentally, it reminds me of the NES era where we had to record ridiculously long passwords for our dudes in River City Ransom and then re-enter them manually. Somehow it just seems like I shouldn't be doing that anymore two decades later. It would be sort of like having to enter the IP address of battle.net when I want to play StarCraft online.

    It's not that painful, but it's certainly annoying having to email a bunch of numbers around and get my friends to get off their lazy asses and look up theirs/register mine.

    Well yes. Especially if you're giving them out verbally at a party or something.

    For what goes on with this board? It's the same thing.

    "Hey! Let's play Halo 3. What's your gamertag?"

    "Hey! Let's play Brawl. What's your wii code?"

    It's slightly more convenient as only one person has to share I guess. But that's the only real difference.

    I'll say this though. I really hope Nintendo uses this plan for future online games. Using the system code and detecting games from that is a lot easier than sharing a code for each and every game.

    I'm not going to claim friend codes are better than gamertags or anything like that, but I will say that I would rather type in a friend code than type a gamertag on the 360's bullshit text input system.

    I work at a video/toy store by myself all day on Sunday so I'm just bringing my Wii in since I'd be watching movies all day anyway.

    You could always buy one of those mini keyboards that locks onto your Controller, like I did.

    Makes talking to my friends on MSN via my 360 a hell of a lot easier.

    Fuck yes! I can actually get Brawl now!. Jobless broke ass me has had a maxed out credit card I've barely been able to make payments on, and they go and raise my credit limit $1600. I can now actually manage to get brawl with money I don't have. Its the American way!

    Man....I think I will just wait until monday afternoon to get brawl. I just hope I don't get borked like I did on the Wii. Ended up having to wait till the last week of November and camp out overnight in the rain to get one.

    But this is software. And they know that are going to move tons of units.

    So I should be able to get one monday afternoon, right? right?!
