so I've been out of the gaming loop for the wii for quite some time and I was wondering if there have been any worthwhile wii games released in the past 6-12 months.

thanks!

Besides the aforementioned Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Rhythm Paradise and PZero 2 there's only
Mario Party 9, Lego LOTR, Lego Batman 2, Epic Mickey 2, Just Dance 4 for retail.
There's La-Mulana and Drop Zone from Wiiware. Lastly, there's Last Blade 1 & 2, Shock troopers 1& 2 on VC.

Also if you are into retro arcade or console gaming, definitely check out Retroarch Wii emulator as well as the modded wii64 called Not64 emu.

beat the beat looks AWESOME! minigames with a very health dose of japan crazy going on :)

I'm not really interested in any VC or emulators but thanks for putting it out there :)

I remember seeing an 8-bit top down gta clone some years ago...can't remember its name...is that out yet?

I may give a look at mario party 9...epic mickey 2 sounds kinda meh...I didnt exactly enjoy the 1st one and I hear the 2nd one is even worse.

thanks for the suggestions guys,keep them coming :)

It's called Retro City Rampage, it not out yet (on wii)

:!: I forgot to mention something very important: a few months ago, it became possible to play Gamecube games from USB via DIOS MIOS or Devolution loaders. If you were interested in any J exclusive games for the Cube (besides the Wii ones likes 428 and Tales) you could look there too.

The Last Story is really good JRPG.

It's a good game, but kinda disappointing imo. Too shallow characters and story for my taste.

But it's true. I can't think of any new good wii game. Epic mickey 2 wasn't that good (imo).

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
