I played Skyward Sword for the first time in 2011, bought a copy on Wii U VC when it was first available there, and finally have my own hard copy. Also got a copy of The Last Story:
Two fantastic and imo underrated games!
I agree on SS. Never played Last Story though. I gotta change that some day.
Did you guys use your Wii remotes with the grip? Or did you prefer not to?
At the time, I always used the rubber grip with the remotes, but now, I have to admit, the Wii remote does feel nicer without it.
I was fortunate to grab a Wii at launch so never had the grip! But I did get a grip with the Wii Motion Plus and never liked it, felt like an impediment to me.
Somewhat related: the material on the string tying wrist-strap to my launch Wii Remote was incredibly thin. Something they must have quickly revised as the second remote I picked up at launch used thicker string.
I emailed the local Nintendo distributor and requested both the new wrist strap and the rubber grip thing when they came out because it was free. And I normally used both of them when playing. But yeah when I recently hooked it all up again I removed them both.
Always without… Those things are for protecting LCDs. The wiimote won’t hurt the trinitron.
I don’t know why but I always use the condom. In fact, I was going to order the red one so I can have my Super Mario 25th anniversary wii complete.
In my controller drawer, I feel like the grips make it less likely to press the on button by another controller.
The rubber johnny’s make my hands sweat, I prefer to go bareback to be honest especially when playing with it in the horizontal position
We should probably stop posting innuendos… but it’s so hard.
I think we covered it.
If I leave the rubber on, I can play a lot longer.
:x
Anyway, my hands never really get that sweaty. I’ve played with enough people over the years to notice how hot and sweaty hands can get when gaming. I just don’t have those type of hands. I even made fun of my wife’s brother because the controller gets super hot. last time we played I brought in a roll of paper towels. He just laughed.
Me too. Never liked the rubber grib thing. I think I got one with my copy of Skyward Sword (which came with a bomb-ass Gold Wiimote with Motion Plus built in), but took it off instantly. In fact, it’s probably still in the Skyward Sword box.
This me too. I try not to eat any food that makes a mess when gaming too, so as not to ruin controllers. No orange cheeto dust for me!
Never used them.
Just found my photos of the midnight Wii launch
Should only really be for connection/convenience issues. Otherwise the Wii is like the GC. No real quality gain from SCART instead of component because of YUV color limit.
Indeed, it’s just the usual Component > RGB SCART > Composite
I set up my Wii again recently on my 640x480 LCD and it’s amazing to see Wii and GC games in 480p or Component. Best I’ve ever seen them!
I love my Wii!
As I’m not part of the PC Engine club, some of the Wii VC ports are great to dabble in the system.
There’s a fix for those titles which only play in 480i.
On scart cables: if you are running any NTSC content through a pal wii over scart, your signal will be black and white.
No known fix.
Just stick to component if possible.
The fix for RGB is to use preloader to change region, or force the game to PAL via various methods. I managed to get most of my Japanese games playing on my PVM via RGB this way.
Or buy the Wii dual mod kit like I did and you can use scart or component cables
