Offical Nintendo Thread

Well the Internet Channel we have now is only the "Demo" so to speak. The full one is released in March i think, and you will have to pay 500 Wii Points for it.

[JerrodDRagon]

^not if you have the Demo Channel, there saying anyone that got the Demo channel wiil be able to download the full version for Free.

[Kei]

Nintendo's said this?
Or just the fanboys (or girls) who claim to know everything?

No, that is a load of lies. It's not Nintendo's decision, it's Operas and they have already stated that you have to pay 500 Wii Points to download the full version when it's released.

When they Nintendo lied to us for the last year, Free online Browser my Ass, I'll be writing to Nintendo about this they annouced a Free Browser (until the summer) and what do we get nothing but a browser that cant go on 1/4 of the sites on the Web.

[Star Platinum]

Jerrod, situations change, for example Twilight Princess was stated to be Gamecube only and that it wasn't going to be on the wii, but it is, do you know why?
The situation changed.
The reason why the browser can't go on a number of sites is because it is the Demo, you don't give people the whole product and expect them to buy it when they can keep the fully functional Demo. the Demo exists so people can try it and buy the complete version when it is released.
Also, Nintendo most companies down care about the Individual, they care about the consumer about a whole. If one person were to complain about the browser they wouldn't do much about it, but if most of the people using it complained then they would do something.
Edit: When Nintendo said "Free" they meant that playing online would be free as in no monthly charges, they said nothing about online browsing. be gladits only one small payment of $5 for you instead of $20 a month.

We'll there is a very simple solution to this DONT SAY ANYTHING THEN. Nintendo lies the most of all the 3 companies which is starting to piss me off, first Super Smash was put off, then Mario, then Wii Play and now Mario Party. Nintendo needs to stop saying things that in a couple of months we find out not to be true, So now what if they start charging for other Wii channels? Will online be free will the Demo channel be free?
But Im going to stip there Nintendo has made me have a very negative view on them (and still not being about to play 2 player is pissing me off)

NOTE: http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2006/12/22/
Nintendo is currently offering a free trial of Opera for Wii which is
now available for download. The release of the final version of the
Opera browser for Wii is currently scheduled for late March 2007. Opera
for Wii will remain a free download until June 30, 2007. After June 30,
Opera will be available for download from the Wii Shop Channel for 500
Wii points. Users who download Opera before June 30, 2007, can continue
to use the browser at no cost for the lifetime of the Wii system.
Jammy you were wrong so I've forgive nintendo for now.

In all its life, Nintendo has been known for pushing release dates back ALOT since the early N64 days (this could be even before then, however thats the earliest I remember). Only just getting annoyed at them now is nothing short of a delayed reaction. Regardless of you believing them to be 'liars', I can't remember a time that Nintendo has pushed back a release date for a game and the end result being a failure.
On another note, Nintendo doesnt usually make the Mario Party games... so unless that has changed getting annoyed at them is tossing the flame in the wrong direction.
One note however is if your in the same boat as Jammy and have to rely on Nintendo of Europe, which I have heard is the most unreliable Nintendo offices out of three(America, Europe and Japan). Strangely however, Nintendo of Australia is apparently a part of NoE, yet we have completely different release dates.... Wii Play on release!! Booyah!

[JammyBleached]

I'm sorry then Jerrod. Either i misunderstood, misread or Nintendo Europe told the information wrongly.

[JerrodDRagon]

^its ok Jammy, Im just glad it wasn't true.

[dragontigerviper]

well that's good i was hoping that i would have to pay 500 points. in all reality though i may still have too. My internet has been acting up, i can't even get weather downloads anymore. It's wierd the Wifi worked great at first but now i can never connect. I hope my Wii doesn't have a virus or something.

[JerrodDRagon]

^how do you have your Wii connected to the Web (USB adapter, wireless Router, etc?)

New Wii game scan, this time being One Piece:

Now
One Piece isn't my thing, but i will give credit on how graphically
awesome this is looking. It's cell shaded style is stunning, it's like
a mix between polygonal and cell which works really good together and
gives off a dominant original appearance. And i absolutely dig how the
characters look. I don't ever recall Luffy, Zoro and Nami ever dressed
up like they are (though i have never watched or read the series) but
they look awesome.
And i am a sucker for adventure games. I
adore them. And this game in a way has tickled my fancy and seems to be
worth looking in to.
It's due to be released in Japan in
April to June and before someone asks, it's likelihood for an English
release anytime soon will not be happening as 4Kids, the license
holders of One Piece in English, have dropped dubbing or obtaining
anymore One Piece franchise but will not give up the license until
2009. So for this game to make an English debut may be well into 2010
up to 2012 perhaps. But you never know, luck may swing in and the game
might be slightly import friendly with some English pieces here and
there and a easy layout for non Japanese to follow through with an
English Translation FAQ helping out here and there.

[JerrodDRagon]

^ I dont think we'll ever see this game in the US, I'll just get it when I get my ModChip that lets me play Japanese games.

[JammyBleached]

Oh ho, so you'll be getting that Wiikey then?
