So whats the deal i heard we wold be able to play any game form any other system. How do i go about that, do i have to go buy say super mario world?? do i download it ? How much do they cost?

i believe NES/SNES/Genesis/n64 games are 5 bucks and game cube games are 8 bucks.
they dont have much available for each of the "consoles" yet. I dont remember much, but i know super marios bros 1 is up there, Fzero (snes), super mario 64 .. are all up there. theres prob only like 10 games on there at launch.. havent checked since the day i bought wii..
but u either use wii points or just use CC.

One way is to go into a store (gamestop,ebgames,walmart) and buy a card of how many ever points you want (2000 is $20 I think). I don't have a Wii, but I assume that if you have the Wii hooked up to the internet you can use a credit card to buy points through their online service as well.

if you're from the UK be very careful what virtual console games, if any you get.. we've been fucked over on that front..
-
yea u dont download the gamecube games,the wii has the gamecube built into it so u just plug the controller into the port and put in any gamecube game and play it,pretty sweet :)

Hold up hold up, why?? What's been going on? Just the frame rate issues for one or two games like Sonic? We're getting Donkey Kong Country :p

-
its fine man.. i just played zelda crashed out on my bed..if anything.. you can be more crashed out..
left hand.. just resting on my side thumbing the nunchuck stick..
right hand.. just pressing buttons.. zelda doesnt need you to point at the screen most of the time
-
yeah but the sword ou gotta swing it aorund and shit
-
yea but u just gotta make little swing motions like not a full swing or nethin like that,i play it relaxed sitting down,not standing up like wii sports or anything
-
u could just wiggle ya hand.. it'll work.. i'm sure
when i was bored playing/trying baseball worked out i could pitch just by wiggling my wrist a little.. no big movements needed

I know you can plug in gamecube controllers to play the gamecube games..but is there an option to play Wii games without having to use the swinging/jabbing type motions? If I were to play Zelda:TP, I'd HAVE to swing the controller around? I couldn't just mash on the buttons?? I know that's defeating the purpose a bit..but what about games that require button combos and shit? For example, will you to have to Jab your controller forward, down and forward plus B to do a Hadouken on Streetfighter?

well its not like swinging the controller around,its like moving it a little with ur hand to swing the sword, and no thankfully u cant just mash buttons because then the wii would just be like the 360 and ps3. I dont kno how the button combos would work..

Each game will be made differently. The street fighter series will probably basically rely on button combos like the old ones... but may have special ultimate moves or something for each character that involve moving the controller. If I were a designer, that's how I'd do it... and the designers are much better at it than I am so I'm sure it'll be great. Imagine your favorite version of Mortal Kombat, except if you hold the trigger and flick the controller towards somebody twice your character tries to knock the other character on the ground, etc. The possibilities are endless, it's going to be great.

Thats terrible if you aks me, you dont give the consummer the option and for this reason i might not buy one now.
