Anyone know what rewards Club Nintendo Japan can get? I'd make an account, but I can't read a lick of Japanese.

well this is the page of rewards for club nintendo japan http://club.nintendo.jp/member/exec/entranceNaviPrivilege

btw...dont u need an address in Japan to make an account

Thanks man. Yeah their club looks better overall, more stuff, better stuff. It also looks like, depending on how many satrs they get per game, their stuff is cheaper. The game and watch collection is 500 stars and not 800 coins like it is for us. They get special offers like the free blue wii remote, limited edition console colors, and they get to register more stuff, like the wii or controllers. I got a Japanese Pro Classic controller and it even had a registration code. In other words Club Nintendo Japan >>>>> Any other Club Nintendo; they keep the best for themselves. :cry:

Well, you could do that. But with almost 90% certainty I can say that they'll tell you that you need to send it in and pay at least $100 for a repair that verry possibly can be done for free. The general wii warranty is 2 years, so unless you got it right at the end of December you'll be paying up. Here's a good tutorial I found on wii disc drive repairs:

Be warned though, if you are not familiar with this kind of stuff this may not be for you and you should either send it to nintendo or another repair facility. As with any attempted self repair, there is the possibility of messing something up, with costly results.

Sounds like you either need to get it fixed, or try to get it out yourself. Like you noticed you need a special tri-wing screwdriver. They can be got on ebay for $1. Look on google for a wii disassembly/fix guide, there several, if you plan to go this route.

Yes, they are already out in the US and the wii motion plus is built into the wiimote that is why they cost more.

Yeah, the're bundled together, but seperate. Here's a youtube video of someone unboxing one. Yeah, nothing's more fun that watching someone else open a package, but anyway you can see it better.

I don't know, I wouldn't get them, but it is nice to get lower point items, though I too would like to get a really nice item. I realyl can' wait much longer though, some of my wii points are about to expire.

I like Little King's Story's disc art and that from NPC Pikmin 2 ( but maybe I like LKS's disc art cause I really want that game).

Pikminmaniac

What does the New Play Control Pikmin 2 disc look like? I can't find any pictures of it. Also, WHEN IS THAT GAME COMING TO NORTH AMERICA!!! I want to play my favourite game of all time with Wii controls!

This is what mine looks like, taken from my webcam so it's kinda crappy looking, looks alot alike Pikmin 1.

Yes there are second party developers. Probably the one that most people are familiar with is Rare. Rare used to be a Nintendo second party developer; it was independent but developed games exclusively for Nintendo. Now that the evil coorporation we know as Microsoft owns them they are a first party developer for them. Punch Out!! itself was developed by Next Level Games, a third party developer. However, since Nintendo does own the origional rights to the Punch Out series this is sorta like a second party game.

I really can't pick a favorite, too many to pick from. However, I picked up megaman zx advent for the DS not too long ago and the opening sequenses blew my mind for a DS game, eaisly the best opening sequenses for the console that I have seen.

Here #1

AND #2

I think they're amazing intros considering they're on the DS, I like #1 better.

Yeah, an LCD tv doesn't have a phosphor display, ie. a CRT or Plasma, and thus it's immune to burn it. Sorry man sounds like you TV is the problem.
