My opinion is find a first party brand GC controller if you can. My experience with 3rd party GC controller hasn’t been good.
People who fondly remember goldeneye 64 are in denial of it’s terrible hitboxes, collision detection, and graphics which were bad even by 64 standards. The only reason so many people loved ge back then was because that’s all there was for consoles and we didn’t know what a well developed fps looked like.
Zelda TP is such a slog at times ughhh. A fun game but definitely not as great as you would expect a zelda title to be.
Official or Wave Bird. imo.
Thanks guys, I’ll just be safe and get an official pad
GE 64 was great back in the day but it really does not hold up now at all. On top of what you said there’s also the issue of machine guns being near useless in multiplayer because of the fact that you could only do damage 1 or explosion at a time. I’ve run through countless explosions point blank in my face by doing the sidestep run trick lol. One of my associates was talking to a customer and telling them that the GE remake was bad and the one on the N64 was better. I had to interject because I didn’t know if he was trying to be serious or not. Sadly he was…I asked him has he even tried to play the game recently and he responded by saying yes he had which made it sound even more ludicrous.
Does…not…Compute.
Perfect Dark fixed most of the issues that GE 64 had and it was during the same era. PD actually stands the test of time better than GE 64 and all they had to do was touch up the graphics and add in dual analog.
Ah, Perfect Dark. When that game came out, my friends and I quit playing GoldenEye all together.
I really want to pick up GoldenEye for the Wii. Been hearing great things about it. It was inevitable that haters would bash the game for not being GE64 with improved visuals.
So I recently found out there was a collectors edition of Epic Mickey for $69.99. Sounds tempting given some of the extras I’ve seen.
And I’ve seen No More Heroes 2 used at GameStop for $17.99 Did the game not sell well? I mean, it did come out this year but I didn’t expect a price like that so soon.
Get the white one with the 10 foot cord. You can find them on Amazon or PlayAsia. Wavebirds lag, which is why no competitive smash players use 'em. I guess if you’re strictly a casual gamer Wavebirds can be cool though, but I see them as just one more thing to replace batteries for/charge.
lolsmash. He didn’t even mention smash. And a smash player calling someone else a “casual gamer” is fucking hilarious.
Second on the White JP Gamecube controller, you’ll pay more for it but you won’t have to be so close to your console as you would with any other gamecube controller.
I picked up my copy of All-Stars yesterday morning, the ONLY good thing about living in a small town. The stores in the metro area sold out on release day. It was the 2nd to last copy here!

The Last Story: Sakaguchi Discusses Freedom, Online and Story (andriasang.com, 12.16.2010)
I just ended up getting an official black pad to go with my white Wii… I’ll probably end up getting an extension cord for it too if I have to sit too close.
I’m not casual :’(
I was like half asleep and pissed when I posted that. So sorry it came out so vicious. :lol:
just bought a new wii to replace my old one… ( motor died )
Target has them on sale for $177, a black and red bundle one.
Black one comes with Wii Sports Resort, while the Red comes with Super Mario Brothers Wii.
I went with Black… ;x I also work at Target so I got a discount. Now I can finally start Sonic Colors.
I believe NMH2 sold ok but it probably didn’t sell as well as they hoped it did like most good 3rd party Wii games.
In fact the interview in GI with the new guy at Sega saddened me a bit hearing that it’ll be unlikely We’ll see a MadWorld Sequal/Prequal. I’m still going to hold out some small hope for something in the future.
Enjoy! I still gotta collect the rest of the red rings.
Japan Numbers week 12/6
Studio Ghibli RPG Can’t Beat Monster Hunter in Japan - Wii News at IGN
Level 5’s new game couldn’t stop Monster Hunter. Both games were followed by DKCR and Pokemon B&W. Mario Sports Mix is in the middle of the pack and I would say it’s nice to see a Tales game in the top 10…if only one of the game would actually come out on a damn console over here. I see Mario Kart Wii and Wii Sports Resort trying to sneak their way back up again…
Wii actually made a surprising jump in sales but it couldn’t beat PSP with Monster Hunter assist. Hardware went PSP, Wii, DSi LL, DSi, PS3, 360, Lite, PS2 and Go. Awwww…what happened Go?
Gaf has been doing a pretty good job of collecting all the sales data for Novemeber 2011 NPD. Just Dance seems to be the only 3rd party game on wii that can do a decent job of cracking top 10. PS3 looks like it hasn’t done that great last month which is surprising but I can attest to that. We’ve been sitting on PS3’s in the back, Wii’s have been selling here and there and 360’s have been just blowing off the shelf…Kinect more so than anything. We’ve had a couple of people actually returning it upon realizing that they really weren’t actually going to use it for anything currently. Kinect seems to be off to a good start but I feel there are a lot of questions that they are going to need to answer next year if they intend to keep it up.
Conduit 2 Gets a Release Date
Conduit 2 Gets a Release Date - Wii News at IGN
Feb 15…fuck that’s a week before Bulletstorm hits.
Same day as Marvel 3.
Good job, Conduit. :lol:
Yeeeeeeeahhh…someone should probably tell them to shift the date a bit…
Yo, any controller recommendations? I’m trying to play skies of arcadia again. My wave bird isn’t working for some reason. The fucker powers on, the transmitter seems to work, yet nothing happens. I only turn my wii on like twice a year, so I dunno. The regular GC pads don’t reach to my couch. My TV is about 8-10 feet from my couch, so the controller only seems to come about half way. Suggestions?
Is the dial on the Wavebird controller and transmitter set to the same number? If so, then you might need to get an extension cord or two for your wired GC controller.
You could try getting the japanese white GC controllers with the longer cord (3m/10ft). It’s on Amazon for $30 with Prime. I imported one when they first came out 2 years ago and it’s great.

VC: Mario Party 2 Wii Ware: Frobot, Inkub
I actually want the Mario Party games to get released but I’m curious if Nintendo will even put the first one up with the infamous ‘spin the stick’ games completely intact.
