Wii SD card channel video demo

TrueGameHeadz writes:
GDC 2009, Iwata (Nintendo President) has announced their solution to the Wii's pretty sad storage problem. As of this writing, you can now download firmware update 4.0 which adds support for SD card storage use. With this update, you can now download Wii Ware and Virtual Console games directly to your SD card as well as play the games directly off of the SD card. Along with the update, it also supports SD Cards up 32 gigs. That seems more than enough for people who are building up their virtual console library. It's been long overdue, but it's finally here and we can all rest easy the next time a large game becomes available to download. Hey dev's… now we can start getting some game demos! You can check out the video of the feature in action below.

They finally added SDHD support, what was they thinking when they made them only SD compatible in the first place?

Is it still loading them temp on the Wii system memory?

bitboi5534d ago

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill4d ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
