After I got a red Wii (it's a Wii, but red with GCN ports) and Balance Board, I decided to start a series called Nostalgia Portal, where I remind y'all of an old game and ruin your childhoods with a random fictional story (once every Wednesday).

Anyway, let us begin...

Who else besides me remembers Wii Sports, the game where you accidentally concuss your kids when playing Wii Bowling only to get a child abuse charge and a DMCA Takedown Notice (I don't have kids and never got DMCA'd, so this is a rhetorical thing.}
Well, here's a story about a negative last experience with the game.

Now, I'm a 2007 kid, so it's kinda obvious that I grew up with the Wii and Nintendo 3DS and Plug n Plays (and the SNES.), but this was an event that happened mid-2019. The Wii was terminated, so I had decided to play the game one last time, but this time with my family. I booted up my Wii and inserted Wii Sports. But there was something kinda off, but I couldn't bring myself to figure out what. I just felt something off after all these years.

When I booted up Tennis, it was glitching out. I OBVIOUSLY cleaned the disk and reinserted it. Tennis soon played like normal.
When I booted up baseball, the game would freeze and kick me back into the menu. THREE. DIFFERENT. TIMES. When I passed the Wiimote to my little sister after the third time, I heard the Wii Baseball theme begin. Now, my little sister is inexperienced with Wii Sports, but I just let her play it anyway. My mistake. The game crashed and I had to restart the Wii.

After restarting, the dashboard was spazzing out. Restarting it again, and it was back to normal. I rebooted Wii Sports and put on Wii Bowling (No I did not give my little sister a concussion with the Wiimote.) It played like normal up until one of us got a Double Strike. After that, everything was out of place, and the game somehow ended.

I soon booted up Boxing and gave the Wiimote and Nunchuk to my mom. She was soon enough playing the game, and nothing actually happened. I was starting to get suspicious about the copy we had purchased, but I shrugged it off, up until the fight against Matt. His face didn't distort (This isn't a fucking Creepypasta.), he just glitched out of the game.

We soon got a notice that read "barricade all entrances to your house." in the Notifications.

We all laughed it off. The text was glitched out, so I decided that this was probably a pirated copy, and properly disposed of it.

This is just some idiot who reviews games and makes shitty stories, signing off.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
