Wii!

Want to know about a game? Should we buy that new upcoming release? Post your thoughts on new games and ones you have...so others can know whether to buy it or not! All non-SWBF, non-modding topics should go here.

Yeah, you know what bothers me? It's like as soon as I wanted to do something, my website screws up on me! The website itself works fine, but I can't log on to the FTP... I'm gonna ask my dad tonight, because I think it might be something with IE7.

Anyways, Marvel Alliance looks pretty awesome :)

sorry for double post, but i noticed that Dohnutt did not describe the Wii Channels that much, here is a more detailed view at them:

- Mii Channel:
Fun 3-D caricatured portraits of players, or Miis, created in this channel can be used as characters across a variety of Wii software. In addition to storing Miis on the Wii, several Miis can be stored in your Wii Remote and taken to a friend's house to play on another Wii console. Each member of your family can have his or her Wii Remote personalized with their own Mii.
- Forecast Channel: This channel allows you to access free local weather forecasts after turning on the Wii console. When connected to the Internet, the WiiConnect24 service automatically updates local weather information.
This Channel can only be accessed when the Wii console is connected to the Internet. Channel Comming 20th December
- Mews Channel: You can access the most up-to-date breaking news from around the world, organized into a variety of topical categories using this channel. When connected to the Internet, the WiiConnect24 service automatically updates this free channel.
This Channel can only be accessed when the Wii console is connected to the Internet. Channel Comming 27th January
- Wii Shop Channel: This is where you go to download video game content, including classic video games originally played on the NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGrafx platforms. Buy Wii Points with a credit card or redeem a Wii Points Card purchased at retail to add points to your account, then redeem points to download these Virtual Console games. You can also use points to download the Opera browser used in the Internet Channel (when available).
- Virtual Console Channel: After you download Virtual Console games from the Wii Shop Channel, each game will appear in the Wii Menu as its own Virtual Console Channel. To play the game, simply select the game's channel.
- Internet Channel: When available, this channel will dramatically change the relationship between your home, the television and the Internet. After downloading the Opera browser with Wii Points, you can surf the Internet right from the comfort of your couch. You can do quick research while watching a television program ("What was that actor's name again?"), or book travel plans and shop during commercials. The service is compatible with Macromedia Flash and also runs AJAX software.
This Channel can only be accessed when the Wii console is connected to the Internet. Channel Not Up Yet, But Will Most Believeable Be Up Before Janurary
- Wii Message Board: Forget hand-scrawled notes tacked to the refrigerator door. You can leave messages for other family members on a calendar-based message board. You can also use WiiConnect24 to send messages to people outside your home as well. Even better, you can trade photos and text messages with cell phone users. The service also allows for incoming game-related information. Games can constantly be updated, which extends their replay value.
- Photo Channel: This channel allows you to retrieve digital pictures from an SD memory card inserted into the Wii console and display them on your television screen. You can also manipulate the photos in a variety of fun and creative ways, such as zooming into details or creating mosaics, puzzles or slide shows. You can even add an MP3 tune from your SD memory card to your slide shows. It provides a fun and easy outlet for you to edit and show off your digital pictures.

if you put in 1st post, give credit.

Cool pics anyways.

@Vyse: I think you are right. But i don't know 4 sure because I can't connect wirelessly.
I'm also looking forward to online games.
I heard Red Steel 2 will be. <--- No joke. Ubisoft is making Red Steel 2. They had an ad for a job for a project called Red Steel 2.
