I haven't opened mine yet so I don't know.

If I have two remotes and two nunchucks do I also need two sensor bars? answered by karen and her son THANKS! O0



and has anyone used the dance pad?

Rock band Drum set?

Karaoke games?




If so how are they?





I've decided to leave this up just in case anyone has any questions about the Wii.

We have two wiimotes and nunchucks but only one sensor bar.  You need to make sure your big sister doesn't stand right in front of the sensor but slightly to one side so it picks up your 'mote as well (advice from my son James!)

You have to 'synchronise' the second wiimote.  It's in the instruction book but was something like press the synch button on the 'mote and then on the wii unit.

thx karen (& james) that was good info~ especially the part about "my big sister " lol karma for u when i get to a computer. this cell phone posting sux.

We also have a microphone for High School Musical karaoke.  I thought it was fun but the children only played it once or twice.

Will Wii work on a television that isn't tuned to high def?

It should because it comes with regular AV wires not the HD video cable.

karma given...thanks again.

fairly sure our tv isn't high def or anything posh.  We paid about $5 for it!

Rock band Drum set?



I've used it at my sister's house and it's okay.  It's a drumpad machine.  Having a high hat cymbal onnit would be cool though  :D ;D

Q.  I asked James about throwing a curveball on the Wii Sport Baseball game.

First he asked what a curveball was  ::)

Then he claimed it doesn't matter how you throw the ball it just does the same thing each time.

Next he demonstrated the way to get the fastest ball: "hold your arm back like this and then go huwah, and fling it forwards while pressing A and B"


;D

James kills me... I really want to meet that little rascal  ;D

there are 4 pitches  a fast ball, a curve ball, a screw ball, and a splitter.

pushing no buttons is the fast ball
pushing A & B is the splitter
Pushing A alone or pushing B alone gives you the curve ball or screw ball... I can't remember which one is A and which one is B.

Tell James the batters apparently learn and if you throw the same pitch too many times in a row the players anticipate the pitch adjust for it.


 

Pushing B gives you a curveball.  He's upstairs testing it now!

LOL thanks!


those teams keep whomping me... I'm sticking to tennis, golf and bowling....where I can maintain a decent level.

That Baseball game on Wii Sports is gay.  Why can't you control the outfielders?  In the time it took one of the outfielders to get the ball, I could have had an inside the park homerun

No kidding. There's also no double plays.  ISTM if you use pitches other than fast or curveballs, they commit a ton of errors as well. I was up 6-0 going into the 3rd inning and lost due to the butterfinger/slow outfielders (5 errors would probably be record in any league).

Question: this Wii Exercize/Fitness... is it one game, does come with all the accesories, how much does it cost?

If you mean Wii Fit, they run around $79 - $89 USD, comes with the Wii balance board and exercises include balance, strength training, aerobics and yoga.  Also measures your weight and calculates BMI.  I usually do the balance and aerobics games.

Anyone else have trouble with the #2 controller going out of sync/losing signal mid-game on Wii Sports Bowling? Every other 2p game we do, both units work fine. About 3-4 frames in on Wii Bowling, the #2 controller gets a case of amnesia - re-syncing it does not help. I'd say it's a game bug, but I dunno.

I have never had a problem. The only problem I have ever had was the arrow keys were held in a different direction when the system started up, thus causing the dongle to react in opposite from what it was supposed to do... ???

its just me so my #2 controller doesn't get much use

Never had a problem here neither unless we pause for a break for a long time.  I'm going to assume the batteries for the Wii-mote are charged/good.

Yeah, the charge is full. I'm still having the issue, but I think I'm close to tracking it down.

BTW, bright lights in the vicinity of the TV sensor bar will cause erratic/non-existant Wii control. Also, if the glass doors are open on the TV stand, the signal reflects off of it, causing the same issues.

Nintendo's insistence on proper clearance should be heeded as well - I've already cracked one controller and smacked the cat in the head while bowling (what was a cat doing in my bowling alley - I guess he's an alley cat!)

YAY and congrats.

My sister is now addicted to the wii fit.
While she was here, she managed to log I don't know how many hours on it!
Now she is adamant that she is going to get a wii and the game. Of course, I wish her luck because it seems like no one will ever have them in stock! ;D

Wow, I just found out how terribly uncoordinated I am :-[ :-[ :-[  I just tried Dance Dance Revolution, besides the directions/training being poor - I SUCK :P :P :P

It is fun, so I am hoping I get better ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I just got Guitar Hero: Legends of Rock and Aerosmith for the Wii for Christmas.  I'm not the best player but I can get through songs on easy.  I haven't won the battle against Tom Morello yet. :P

I did get the wii Fit for Christmas!

So far I've only done two days but I will be doing more.

I suck at the football heading game, and I'm beating the kids at the ski slalom

On the football/soccer heading game I end up moving my head over versus shifting my body weight which causes me to suck too. ;D  I have managed to unluck some cool games on their though.

That's awesome Karen! I can't do the soccer one good either. The Son is the best at it!

I do the same thing Patrick! I forget that it is about body weight!
I can hula hoop like there's no tomorrow - 10 minutes each direction!
But walking the tight rope?? Forget about it! I suck really bad! ;D

Yes, I think I have the same problem in the soccer heading thing.

Elizabeth and I like the tightrope one.  She is beating me - 20 yards to 16.  James has been banned.  He kept jumping instead of the knee bend thing.

WOW! I didn't know the game would ban you from it! I know the whole jumping thing is a no-no, but banned from your own game! That's hilarious! ;D (Although I am sure that James doesn't find it very funny.) ;)

Well, I just burned up 40 minutes on wii fit.
At 35 mins it told me to take a break - but I finished out with step. ;)

We should trade wii id numbers and add each other as friends.
We can then send encouraging messages to each other, and if we have Mario Kart wii, we can look for each other and race each other online. (If you have wifi.) ;) I will gladly give me friend id number! 8)

When I first tried to connect my Wii to the intarwebz it gave me troubles 'cuz my router asks for a password.  We put in all known passwords and still no go.  So I don't have the wi-fi (wii-fi?) set up right now. :(

Ah I should be more precise with my typing.  I banned him from the wii tight rope.  Though the wii fit did tell him off each time.

LOL - I thought I could dance too - but holy he--  That crap is impossible, and the training part of it sucks....

I will do it out here in the midwest and you do it on the west coast and people will think the world is coming to the end!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

replying to everyone!

karen! welcome back!!! glad you got the fit and that you're enjoying it. I love the fit but I think the outdoor challenge is actually a better work out for me ... I know I know...and it cost $30 less!  or $100 less depending on what the fit ended up costing you.

James would love outdoor challenge tho because he can totally jump on the mat... I jump on it and I must have 220 pounds on him!  ;D


Midas...yeah I can't get that whole move the body not the head thing down... maybe if I the Wii fit board on my head it would properly register my movements!  ;D


Tam- great idea about us hooking up online (however that works) I recently ordered and rec'd off ebay an extra long serial ethernet cable thingy for like 5 bucks so as soon as I feel motivated  (read that monday or Tuesday) I will be online with my Wii.


Sami-  omg... we could totally take out the country with our DDR plan to overthrow the world.... and I take it back there will no posting of videos anytime any place... I am truly sorry I asked  ;)


Oh and Tam... shoot I think I need help with the hula hoop....my hips just don't move that way  ;D  although I do kick ass at the tightrope...and the lotus...apparently I am a zen master at sitting perfectly still....don't know how that counts as exercise but I always look forward to doing that one!

;D

Shoot - the lotus - the best I have gotten is 91 seconds or something like that. I try and try, I sit and close my eyes and I do better, but I just can't last all that long. The sitting still part is about working all of your muscles to maintain one pose, and using those muscles to keep everything still together. I have a lot of work to do on my back, because I have a sciatic problem, but I love my wii fit.

The Plank kills me! I keep working at it though. I guess I should go get the cover for the board, cause the plank eats the crap out of my forearms and my elbows!

oh well then I'll hook cable up with the PS3... or I'll move my desk top...whatever...it was only 5 bucks...how come no one told me the damn thing was wifi ready?

;D  guess I should read the manual a little more closely huh?

It's cool. I am not sure if it even tells you in the manual that it is wifi ready. I didn't know until the guy at Best Buy told me. I was there, going to buy a wireless connection for it, when he explained it was wifi just like my DS. I was so excited I came right home, went through the settings, entered my wep code and away I went! (Of course, I got my wii probably about 6 months after it first came out, so perhaps it was then that they didn't tell you it is wifi - now they probably tell you for sure.)

I gotta send you my wii id. ;)

Tell me more about the Outdoor Challenge whatsit.

A friend was asking about the wii fit today and thought she might be interested in the outdoor challenge (she has kids the same age as mine).  But I need some more details.

Outdoor Challenge Who?
I don't think I have heard of it.... :-\\

tam I'm hooking up via Wii fi now! Thanks.


Okay so karen...

Outdoor challenge is a series of active games sort of like you have for the Wii Fit but instead of using a balance board you have a mat
When you run you run in the blue and orange square. some games have 3 lanes and the squares are the center then the orange square orange arrow are the right lane and blue sq. blue arrow are the left lane etc

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa235/snozberries44/Inthe00s/outdoorchallengemat.jpg


for 54.95 (at costco) I got the mat and a disc with games.

Games
-kayak (I suck at it)
-whack the mole game where you on the mat at the arrow that matches the mole's location.
-jogging game where you run directly on the mat
-hurdles which is essentially jogging but you jump over hurdles
-snow boarding but you get to jump
-log jumping (two different log jumping games)
-jump rope
-inline roller blading (which is really just more running and jumping)
-pipe slider where you sit on your butt and use your hands to control the player
-a mine cart game I have yet to figure out
and at least 5 more games that all involve jumping....

I think you see where I'm going with this... James can jump to his hearts content. I have played it for at least 8 hours now and putting 250++ lbs of jumping pressure has yet to break the mat  ;)

However, I have had the mat move on me during game play... not so much that I slip and fall but I do get out of alignment with the squares.  I find it frustrating... I have a mat for my wii fit and just started wondering if its might work as a non slip mat for the outdoor challenge mat... I have the same problem with DDR... again... I'm not falling it doesn't slip that much... it just moves which affects your game play.

anyway it doesn't track your weight like the wii fit does but it gives you active life points... I don't know what the hell to do with them but I feel good when I exceed previous active life points...and it is quite the workout... I did the marathon run the other day and it was 10 minutes if straight running... but- with wii fit running you can cheat because the fit measures the swinging of your arms... the outdoor challenge actually calculates your speed and how many times you lift your feet off the mat..... I did 2225 steps in my 10 minute run. I don't know if that's good but it was good for me!

Outdoor Challenge Who?
I don't think I have heard of it.... :-\\

does anyone have brain age?

I kind of like it... its similar to the games you get on facebook... not the word game but the brain test one with the calculation, memory, visual and something else...

I think its one you can go online and challenge others so if anyone has it or gets it... let me know and we'll seee if we can share data...or whatever


tam you'll have to walk me through this whole connecting with friends thing. I've got the wii fi alll set up but now don't know what to do...

I'll be home tomorrow and Sunday after 6 pm PST if either of those times work for you.

I haven't tried because the only song I liked was Bust a move and I still couldn't get a good score on it.

I will probably wait until later before I try again... or sell it to Tam cheap  ;)

so I finally got back on the fit...the first time since my birthday (Dec 7th) :-[

I worked out for 43 minutes

I gotta tell ya I tried the Shoulder stand for the first time and I laughed my fat ass all over the apartment... I cannot raise my body so I was just lying there in an L position laughing like a maniac...


but that's not my point... aside from that fiasco I did pretty well....

oh I also did the lotus for about 5 minutes.. I forgot to hit A and I was sitting there with my eyes closed wondering why it was taking so long  :-[ 


Anyway- I was so mad that I had so many gaps on my calendar so I deleted myself and ended up starting over...telling myself I will be more committed this time around.

so I started all over... I don't recommend it... but all my scores are better. I did every activity I was allowed to do... one time each. That was 30 minutes.. Okay I skipped the running but you know I did an hour and 15 of fit and about 50 minutes of Wii Sports so who cares if I jogged. I could have sat on my exercise ball and swung my arms but that would have been cheating and I don't want to cheat... plus I like the running on in outdoor challenge better... you can't cheat there.

Anyway- I guess I just had to tell someone. so lucky you who ever reads this... er... skims it is more likely.

;)

Excellent.  I read it. :)

TamTam talked to me last night for about 20 minutes trying to get my Wii to connect to the internet.  My computers decided to take a dump during the process and I never got connected.  I'll try again on Friday when I have a little more time.

I read it!  Wish I could have been there! ;):P  You make me want to go out and get one.  I was going to post about the Rock Band drum set, but already told you Micah has one.  She ended up getting the Rock Band 2 wireless drum set (no, I don't know what the difference is).  I love it, but am very happy to report that I am not addicted  ;D

the difference would be in the wire  ;) 


;D  I think with the wireless you don't have the fear of someone tripping over the cord on the floor causing the system (or drum kit) to crash to the floor....

I really want one. I just wish the emphasis wasn't on Rock music... I want them to come out with Pop Band...or 80's band or something
You know a game where I know more than 7 songs

Smarta________  I knew you'd say something about the wires, just hoping you wouldn't go for the obvious (only kidding, I would have been severely disappointed if you hadn't said something)

I know what you mean, wish they had other genres too.  I wish I knew 7 of the songs they offer!!!!

I think I recognized 2  ::)  but in tutorial mode, I got a 95% on the 90% speed level of the Lynryd Skynyrd (sp?) song they have.  I went downhill from there, but I still got it.  Imagine what I'll do with practice (they have to re-hook it up of course)

As in, if we put in our Wiicodes in this thread, guests aren't able to view it and exploit us or something.

Although I suppose we should just PM the codes to each other like we've been doing, I didn't know who else besides Midas, Snoz and Tam had Wii.

:-\\

???

How bout this...

anyone with a Wii who wants to exchange codes PM me!  ;)

I did!  :D

Try it though, when you log out, this entire subforum disappears!

Snoz, Jess & Rice!

I sent y'all some of the mii's that I have on my system. I apologize if I overload you when you log into the mii channel, but you are going to have a blast looking at them and using them!! Turns out I can only send 20 mii's a day, so I will send them to other people tomorrow and the day after as well. 8)

I didn't get to send all the one's I wanted to, but I bet I know who each of your favorites are!!! ;)

That's cool 8)  Whoever wants our Miis, please to PM Jess or meself.

I PM'd you and 2kidsami :)  I figured out how to send Miis but I have no idea how if Miis have been sent to mii.  I looked on the Mii channel and there is only mii and mii fiancé. 

Tam sent me a miisage and was gonna tell me how to do stuff :D

Midas - I got your mii. You did it right.
In order to receive the mii's we have sent you - you have to go into the mii channel, then go out, then go back in. Sometimes they don't register right away. I have had to do this step with everyone who has sent me theirs.

I think I sent you another one today - but if I didn't then I will for sure tomorrow!!!

How to hook your wii up for wifi.

You need to have a router running in your home so that wireless devices can hook up to it to have access to the internet.
First, if you have a wep code on your router, you need to have it handy, because the wii is going to need that number.

Turn on your wii
Go into the wii option
Click wii settings
Go to internet (2nd page)
Click New Connection
You can detect or set it up manually, connecting via the wii is definitely easier.
It will populate a list of routers available to the wii, click your router and it will ask for the wep code.
Input the wep code and once you click ok, it will run a diagnostic to make sure the settings are correct and you can connect.
After this you should be good to go.



To find your personal wii number:

Turn on the wii
Click wii messages
click new message
either the number will appear here, or click address book and the number will come up there. Copy it down in order to share it with your friends.



To add friends' wii numbers

Turn on the wii
click wii messages
click new message
click address book
click register
click in the box and enter friends wii number
click ok and now click on the box to add a name to the wii number.

Takes about 30-60 minutes for the wii's to register each other but after that you can send your mii's and messages and stuff all you want. (There is a daily limit of only 20 mii's you are allowed to send to anyone.) ;)

you know I haven't seen any miis come in for a few days now...I'm at 10,

Is there a limit or am I doing something wrong?

BWAHAHAHA!  I just got a bajillion Miis from Tam :D  I like the Obamii.

I don't have any more Miis on our Wii though...at least not until we have more additions to the family :P

No limit Q - maybe because it was the weekend, the mii's took a mini vacation?! ;D
They should be there any time, Rice just got all of the ones I sent them! 8)

I only have the MJ one because Tam sent me yours  ;D she knew I would enjoy it!


I do have both RE4 and Umbrella Chronicles... I like RE4 but I like killing things... I can't play it long tho because keep going in circles and eventually get ill... don't get the "guns" tho... I find the controls really hard to use when they are in the guns.

Cool. I got RE4 last week, and I'm almost addicted to it. I'm in stage 4-1: I stopped tonight after dying to two huge mofos pounded me over a pit of fire.

I like kneecapping the enemy and knifing them to death, though that doesn't work so well with the ones that pop spiders and octopus-looking things from their heads.

Use the map! It's your friend. The controls take some getting used to, but you will in time.

How much is RE5 selling for now? I already want the next installment...

Sounds like fun... I haven't gotten that far yet.

I got Umbrella Chronicles on ebay for $40 it came with two guns.... If I'd known the guns sucked I would have waited but I like toys and gadgets so I splurged.

Red Ant has Wii?  Cool 8)

I got Oprah and the Ladies' Man last night.  Oprah was hawt ;D

I never thought about playing RE with a gun. I've been using the standard controller with the nunchuck thingy.

Rice, my Mii looks like MJ - even named him "Mikey". Why, I dunno... spur of the moment thing I guess.

I'll have to send out my Mii friend code or whatever it is to you all - I finally got the wireless internet working in the house.

for the record the "gun" is really just a plastic frame. you place the controller and nunchuck into it.  but it places them at odd angles. I couldn't adjust to them so I put the guns away. I may try to sell them on ebay and see if I con some suckers like I was conned  ;D

Are wii games regionalised like DVD's are?

Are wii games regionalised like DVD's are?


that's a good question I don't know but I will look and see!

karen just got this off of a wii message board

Yes, they are regionally locked just like DVDS, so if you are have a Wii console that was purchased in the US, you will have to also purchase your Wii video games from the US as well.:smileyhappy:




oh and I just learned that you can reorder (organize/structure) your wii channels so I'll post the instructions for that tomorrow night! 

I just got My Fitness Coach for Wii....OMG that woman kicked my ass in my first 15 minute workout!

Nintendo's insistence on proper clearance should be heeded as well - I've already cracked one controller and smacked the cat in the head while bowling (what was a cat doing in my bowling alley - I guess he's an alley cat!)

I nailed my dog in the head while bowling too.  ;D  I felt bad, but he STILL gets in my way all the time.  ::)

Ok, just read the whole thread.  I'm not hooked up to the internet yet - my husband is gonna have to handle that.  But as soon as I am I will let you guys know.  We don't have Wii fit yet either, though I totally want it - especially now after reading some of the stuff you guys have said about it.  We did order Rock Band and Mario Kart (Cart?) which I am totally excited to get.  Anyway, my favorite game is tennis, and I'm obsessed with increasing my level.  Ugh.  So frustrating.  And I've been creating Miis like crazy, but it never occured to me to create them for famous people.  I know what I'll be doing when I get home from work today!  ;D

Red Ant has Wii?  Cool 8)

I got Oprah and the Ladies' Man last night.  Oprah was hawt ;D


I think I sent the LM Mii before I disconnected the net connection.  It was interfering with my intarwebz at home.  :-\\  I may re-connect it at some point.

On the wii fit has anyone tried entering exercises they do elsewhere?  How easy is it to do?

I add mine all the time so that house cleaning and real bowling and shoveling are all included in my time spent exercising. It is real easy Karen....
Just go to the area and review what exercises are light, moderate etc... select the category and then enter how much time you spent. ;)

It's hard work playing a game with a little boy who knows how the game works and assumes you do as well!

Jump

I am jumping
No, onto something!
Not the ledge, I mean the rope, Liz, I mean Mum
thinks (well why the f didn't you say so)  ::)

and the nunchuck keeps crapping out all the time  >:(

;D  This is hilarious!

I remember when nintendo first came out my friend and I would play super mario with her 5 year old and we (the adults) would physically duck if the character had to go under something and then make a jumping motion with our upper bodies when we'd jump....the boy sat perfectly still and nailed every move... and kept complaining because we kept saying "oh WATCH OUT!" Oh! Oh! Oh! lol!!!!! 

Man you guys are creative.  I just have me as a Mii :(

But I  get to play with all of you ;) - Although I do not seem to get Oprah, or anyone else - oh woh is me :\'(

Boy I thought I could jump rope, guess not, and man do you fall on your face hard ;D ;D ;D

Can not seem to get the Kayaking one.  I swing remote too hard or I do not have it moving, I have not found the happy medium.

yeah the kayak and the timing the jumps on mine cart are hard for me but I do everything else well....

I think I have a personal best of 34 jumps for jump rope.... run the marathon tho...its like straight running for 10 minutes and it counts your steps!

I like the teeter totter one (cant  think of the name now...) I sit on my stability ball and got up to 12.

the girls just did the teeter totter one as a team challenge. I finally got 14 on the jump rope - need to work on it :P

We finally got Mario Kart last night.  Man do I suck at it.  For the first two races, I was holding the wheel upside down!  It got a little bit better after that...but not much.  I seem to do a lot better on the motorcycles than the cars though.

I don't use the wheel when I play MK.
I bought the controller that looks like the older ones, hook it into the dongle and away I go!
Seriously, I can't steer the wheel for the life of me! ;D

Dongle?

I thought it was called a Wiimote ???

Edited to add: Ohhh, since GIYF I looked it up and most look like a flash drive.

Yes - the wiimote.

But it's real name is a Dongle. ;)

ETA: In the wii box with instructions, it is called the dongle and the analog stick is called a nunchuk.
It appears that they have since changed the name to wii remote - so now I feel like an idiot. :D

I call it a wiimote and a nunchuck, just because I think the name nunchuck is hilarious!

You will learn friend that I am a vast book of useless knowledge..... ;)

Remember: I started reading the dictionary in college for something to do.... :P :D

yay! 

Finally got a Wii Fit. Man, it is hard! Based on my craptastic balance skills, I'm 43 according to it... room to improve I suppose.

The Hula-Hoop was funny. Nicole did it and couldn't get the extra hoops - her Mii kept getting smacked in the head! I got up there and bam! all five hoops going. I felt like a champ until I got off, and boy did my ankles hurt!

I managed to unlock expert/advanced on the tightrope walk and complete that (I guess my balance improves when my life is literally on the line).

The ski slope showed I've never been on a set of skis, lol. I think I only went though two gates the first time down.

My first attempt on the long jump resulted in a Mii snowball wadded up at the bottom of the hill. I so failed.

signature banned as well
