No more zelda pics please!
Its all so wonderfull, but i want to just forget it all for a month now....or a money minus a few hours anyways

Please Mr. Ninty, can us Brits have Mario RPG too? Ta.

Yup.
Mario RPG and Paper Mario 1 are the main things i want on the VC, and i am sure they would be the biggest salers on it...and yet...still it looks like they wont be there

Funny how subtle things can make quite a big difference.

What, you mean subtle things like "Wow, this tech demo is an *awesome* game. So lets... err... make it into a game then!"

There's nothing subtle about it - it's called a bit of polish. Tightening up the graphics so to speak

Cheers

It is pretty minor...what, you got marginaly better textures on the ground, higher contrast all around, wii-charecters filling the stands, logo change at the back.
Not much difference in the individual stuff at all. Thats what I meant by subtle.

Yet overall, it dosnt look like a tech demo now.
That was my point. That small changes can alter the whole mood of the scene.

Do yo think those Wii's watching represent actual gamers or just random Wii's generated by the machine? Perhaps it's possible to watche the game, much like one can be a spectator in PC online games.

Yes! And shake the Wii-mote to throw eggs and tomatoes to the players!

I think they're Miis you've created in the Mii channel.

You can save up to 10 (?) Miis on a remote and use them on a different Wii.
Also, you WFC-friend's Miis will come over.

WiiLi is a live Linux CD that makes the Nintendo Wii boot into a full Linux Desktop without the need of a mod chip or hardware modification.

Oh hell yes. I've love those two on VC.

Give it time, perhaps.

Does anyone know or can guess if I can get online with my Wii thru Airport Express ?

I didn't even think online was working yet?

Really happy about the extra VC games though as the lineup was looking a bit thin without them. Shame it looks like I might not even get one now.
