Wii 3.0

Yesterday I Updated to the 3.0U Update :). It was very fast compared to they previous ones... The Message button is changed...as well as the color of the Today messages... as everyone knows. The color change adds something.. but not showing up on the calendar really takes something out. I liked to see wich days I played my Wii and all that stuff, If it wasn't for the WiiSports Fittness messages.. I wouldn't have a message each day I played... and yes... I do play WiiSports every day..

The Clock on the Wii Menu is really nice for me.. Some people said it was ugly and that sort of stuff.... but It really lacked for me.. I always wanted to keep track of the time... maybe.. on a future update.. they should make it show up when we press home or something... I would like to check the time wile playing a game.. not only when Im not.

As many other people.. i got the Misterious ? File ... :S.. Its just there.. and its the only channel on the channel menu... I dont have any other ones...

As before.. Im not able to use the internet service..due to the type of router I use... I tought that some update would finally alow me to use it.. as stated by Nintendo..but not this time. Any way.. My Wii is up to date :). and looks nice :P... But I really want to use the Internet Channels!!! Im diying to!

Recently I've been only playing WiiSports... I really like it :P... Is like I played the hell out of it the first days... and as I played my other games... I got tired of it... but now.. Im really into it... I just got PRO in Baseball... one of the sports I played the least... Im almost on Golf... and as for Bowling.. recently it has almost been imposible to get above my Highscore.. If I get lower than it.. I always loose points.. that frustrates me...

I've been playing the training alot... I have gold medals on Returning the Ball..or whatever the name is... also on Target Practice... I have Gold on Homeruns... On Punching the Bag... and I dont remember where else...

Im going to try to reset the router and manipulate the setting to see If I can turn of the kind of firewall that is preventing me from using the damm internet!!!

My Golden Gloves : )

Haha!! I just beat Matt on WiiSports Boxing :D!!! .... When I got to Skill 1000 (PRO).. I stopped playing for sometime...but then... I began playing again... I want to get to the 2000 mark :D... At 1560 or something...I got to fight with Matt :P...and man.. He's tuff!!! He can seriously knock you down in a flash of a second :P... You have to watch out for his fists and for open spots to hit him ;)... I had to keep moving...and punching from the sides to get hits... You have to be clever about your moves... If not..He will get you knocked of your legs ;)... I think that the Golden Gloves has something to do..Maybe they hit harder or something :)..

But...now... the only bad part...is that I will only get to fight Matt :(... It gets too repetivite an monotous....

DRAFT-Mii Wants Wii Games :(

OMG!! I want so many games :(...And have so little buck :P..
I have found myself desiring quite a few games...that in the past I wouldn't even have a tought about..just for "the Wii Factor".

Now....many crappy games...can be fun :) thanks to the Wiimote!!


In the past...I have liked Mario Party..yes...but as the years passed, I couldn't even think about spending my worthy money on it! But now!! As more as I think about it, i like more the idea of playing those mini-games with the Wiimote!!! It a lot of fun!!
Also...another game I'm impressed to be looking into is: Harry Potter: The Order of the Fenix... I haven't bought any movie video-games in the past...but It has come into my mind...that is like any other game...and adventure... and it's enhanced by the Wiimote functions!


I also would like to buy Excite Truck, because in my mind, it looks so fun to drive with the wiimote as stearingwheel! Is very true that
the motion sensing ads a whole level of entertainment to any game it is applied to! But...its better to have original games...designed for it, than have a developed ad motion sensing to a old game...and publish it.

Happy Wii Day :)

Yesterday a friend of mine and his two brothers (12 and 8? ; Boy and Girl)... As soon they entered the room they said... Since when you have a Wii??? :shock:. ... They inmmediatly wanted to try it out :P... I booted it up and handed in the controllers...and they played for 5 straight ours!!! They just had a rest to eat!! And they continued playing :P... This speak for itself about "Wii for All" :P.
And age ins't a problem, because the 7 yo one beat the other one continued times :P...
The game they enjoyed the most was Wii Golf, as weird as that sounds :P.. They played like 7,  9 hole, games :P...
I also popped in Red Steel.. but it isn't easy to get used to the controll scheme... and I continued to kick their ass...wich was no fun to them :P..so we got back to WiiSports ;)...
My collection of Miis get bigger every day as I get every visitor to make a mini-Mii of himself :P...
Something that I found out is that Wii Boxing is pretty great!! On 1 on 1!! :P... Is really nice to punch your friend several times and knock him down :P...

Wii Sketching

An activity I'm beggining to enjoy pretty much is drawing on my Wii!! Its actually very intuitive! What I done was...get a picture... paint it white and post it to the Message Board, and that is used as a canvas :P..then when you finished drawing you post it to the Message Board again and you Undo All Changes :P.. Is great!!!
Every time someone comes home.. I make him draw something :P... Its fun.. and I get to have a collection of drawings from different persons :P... then you can even make a Slideshow :P... or send them attached on Messages... You could even make painted messages instead of written ones :P...
The Photochannel is a great tool!!! Every channel on the Wii is amusing :P...!!! Try it out!

Enjoying the Wii?

Sure I am!!!

Its now like 3 months from the day I got my Wii!... I have played trought 65% of Red Steel so far...but the reason why I havent finished it yet is because I'm not always motivated to play it :P...Some times I get a little motivation, but after I get killed I simply turn of the console, and return to my PC :P...

I have some kind of frustration with the Internet part :P..because I haven't been able to use any of it :(...I want to get a router sooo bad!!!...I want to use the Internet channel :)...stream media from my PC, play flash games, send/read messages, and all the other cool stuff you can do on your Wii!!! 

I haven't played WiiSports that much, lately... I ave more motivation to play WiiSports than to play RedSteel :P...! Some days ago, when I went to play WiiSports, I got my ass kicked my the CPU :P... I'm out of practice :P...

I managed to inster some photos on the Photo Channel :P...I have them posted to the Message Board, and sometimes I boot up the Photo Channel, and do some jigsaw puzzles, or simply draw some retarded sketch :)...

I'm going to go and find Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and play trought it... because I'm totally looking forward to play Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and I have to know the story line :P...Also I loved Metroid Prime 1, so I want to play the sequel to it :P...

Something that I'm looking into, is buying all those GREAT GameCube games that are out there, at low price (because they are last gen)... Im looking forward to get MP2 (As I said), Rayman, Paper Mario, Geist, Time Splitters 3...and all the other great games!!! But for now... I need the money for a vacation trip I'm planning :)...So I'm stuck to Red Steel :D... Im on the "Ninja?" level... I just need to find the motivation...

I'm worried about the Internet channel, because It will only be free util June, and I have only +2 weeks to dowload it, or I almost a no go... because is going to be difficult to buy the Wii points wit someone's credit card...then to pay the bill...etc, its too much trouble to go trought... I even thinking about taking my Wii to someone's house who has a Wi-Fi router... I check for acces point every time I boot up my Wii :P , just in case a neighbor installs a new router without my notice :P... but for now I have had no luck :(... Well! Thats all for now!!! 

Getting Pro!

After some Rough weeks, and some serious sweat :P... I finally got into PRO in WiiTennis!!! OMG...those two were a real pain in the a**!... They got me standing and almost jumping!!! But I managed to beat them :P

Some times I wanted to be playing Red Steel and be able to shoot em' In the ****ing head!!! :P.... But It felt so good when I made a really good move and got a point :D

Right now Im ontro PRO in boxing!!! And next comes Bowling and Baseball :P.... Golf isnt my type of game really :P...is like too boring :P... but Im onto it :P...

Any way... I havent played Red Steel for a few days so Im looking forward to It ;)... And Im also making some experiments (antennas, passwords) with my neightbors Wi-Fi!! 

Everything is Great!!

So Its like two months since the day I got my Wii. I can play it freely now...because I have good grades at school :)

The last week I played almost 10 hours daily!!!

I already completed Twilight Princess, not completly, but finished the game. The end was great!!! Omg! Posesed Zelda!! Hehe...but it left me with a desire to know what comes next, and I also felt a little melancolic :(...

As for Red Steel I have like 45% of the game so far... Its great!! I got used to the controls, and I can play It as easy as I play Counter Strike on my PC, the Wiimote is great!!!

I dont play WiiSports that much, but I'm beggining to get good on it!!! I have +800 in Tennis, and I'm gaining some skills on the others. I must play it at least once every day...And I even get some sweat!!!

I still can't get past the User Agreements on the WiiConnect24... I Im diying to try the Internet Channel!!! I want to play some videos on my TV, and some music... I want to send messages and all that stuff!!! I must get a router!! Or at least manage to receive and unencrypted connection from around my neighborhood...

I tried to connect the USB port of my router to the Wii...but of course it didn't work!!! Damm Nintendo :P...  Those USB ports on the back of the Wii really look cool :P...but withouth an use...they are worthless...

I havent invited any friends to play yet...but I think everyone of them will enjoy the Wii!! From WiiSports to RedSteel...Wii is so much fun!!!!

 

Wii got a Problem :(

-----------------Wii got a problem :(------------------ 

So now is month from the day I got my Wii... and I have only played it 10 hours tops, and of those 10... like 8
where on the first day.


The reason to this are my school grades :(. I got a 66 on my midterm and my mother said: You wont use it
until the next grades come in!!!.
So I waited the week or so remaining to get my grades... and when the came home... I had a 74 on Math!!!

Damm that teacher :P...
So more waiting to play my Wii.
The first day I got It, my mother alowed me to "Test" it... I played all day...
When the time came to turn it off, I left it all connected hoping that my mother would forget and the next day

I could just turn it up when she wasn't there :P..
But that was no good, she noticed and commanded me to put it away. The other good thing was I got to put
in a drawer in MY room.. so I had it at my dispossal.
The first days... when my mother went to work... I took out the box, connected all the cables and played a
little :)... then I kept the cables connected as my mother wouldn't notice, and I just got the console out and
hooked it up!


I play from time to time... I have played 4 hours or so of Twilight Princess, I have played alot of Wii Sports but haven't reached any PRO levels yet, and Red Steel is almost new :P...
The only CON of this is that I'm always nervious that my mother would come In and I f*** it...
I can't get to play confortably...just sitting on the couch, enjoying the game. Some times I found my self playing stading up, and going to the balcony every 5 minutes to check if my mother had arrived :P.
Is very frustrating :P.


I borrowed a Wireless Router a few days, and got to Update the Console... but when I got to the point when I wanted to use the Channels and Download the Internet Channel, I couldn't go past the User Agreement part, because there was a "Firewall" problem, acording to the info on Nintendo.com .
Right now I'm stuck with 1 or 2 ours of play a Week, but my mom says I'll be alowed to play it next week :)

Yeah! I got my Wii!

Finally after a 3 year wait...I got my Wii resting in my living room, and the controllers waiting to be picked up.
Its a great feeling to finally get to touch/hug/kiss/lick...a Wii of my own.
I got an extra Wiimote/Nunchuk and Twilight Princess and Red Steel.
Twilight Princess looks crisp! great detail... The control scheme isn't exhausting...you dont have to be swinging your Wiimote all over the place just to achieve a sword slash.
The pointing on the Wiimote is great....doesn't really require you to hold you arm in the air while you try to move the reticule in the screen, you just move it...its like instinctive.
Red Steel isn't a bad game at all!!! Great graphics...great controll and effects. There are some very pretty light effects...and animations. Enemy AI is great ..well great in the way it was designed. Enemies dont just wait there, and from time to time, come out and shoot you...if you aren't shooting them..they come after you. They know when to get cover and when not.
The way the Wii loads the discs is really neat...you just put them in the "mouth" and it sucks it in.
Everything in the Wii is so compact! The console is to tiny...yet so powerful and promising.
Today I might try the Internet...to get some Updates(Weather, News, Vote...) and to download the Opera browser and some games.
I simply love the Wii!
