Okay I fixed the source =] sorry for the mistake.

coolmatrix6143d ago

I remember ALOT of 360 fanboys saying lets Wii60.

Somethin in common....Suckers.....

LOL...ROTFLMBFBAO.........

Heeeeeeeeeee Wii60.

360 like a rabbit out of the gate....

Wii like an avalanche down the hill

PS3 like a tortoise...nice, slow and steady but wins everytime.

They'll fix'em.....no problem!;)

StarsCream6143d ago

I dont know if this story is true or not; but fixing something, does in fact, by logic, indicate a problem.

Nintendo systems are indestructible. It's hard to believe a little heat from a LED light is killing them.

Edit - Just noticed i lost a bubble. I wonder if it has anything to do with reporting a few flamebait story submissions earlier? Did i hurt someones feelings? :)

This actually happened to one of my friends. This system overheated for no apparent reason. The situation? He left his Wii in stanby mode while he was on vacation. He came back 2 weeks later and his Wii was fried. It wouldn't acknowledge any input. He sent it in to Nintendo and they replaced it within 1 week.

However, he did leave it in a smaller cubby hole within his entertainment system, which is probably not a good idea.

As much as a company tries to work out all the issues, there is always going to be some defect somewhere on some system. This is the price we pay for more complex and powerful technology.

My bubbles come and go as well but recently I noticed I have someone ignoring me. I must have an ability to seriously annoy someone. Is there a way to see who's tracking you or ignoring you?

aiphanes6143d ago

Most people that know just turn of the wiiconnect24 option so that their Wii does not overheat the GPU.

FeralPhoenix6143d ago

I'm sure this is just a small problem that Nintendo will get sorted out, but I did find this last line in the article amusing:

"In the meantime, if you're worried about your Wii burning up, just deactivate WC24 - it's proved to be a non-essestial feature so far anyway."

-Now that wasn't neccessary, -lol

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos19d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8819d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies18d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
