So, since Nintendo's support is TOTALLY down, I was wondering if any other Wii owners have been able to connect.

My wireless network has NO problems handling the xbox, the 360 an da multitude of computers, so I doubt it is my setup...it just gets stuck on the "test" section.

Anyone else have this issue?

I love the Wii but every time i see that interface it feels like they think everyone is two. Does anyone that has one know if there are skins, it would be great to give that clean interface a little more mature or professional feel.
They were smart to use the point because it allows you to use cards purchased at real stores instead of credit cards that many of the nintendo users won't be old enough to have. It also leads to the possibility to find them for cheaper sometimes like the MSpts have on occasion and the conversion is simply just removing the decimal place which is easy for anyone to do in there head.

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.

Profchaos1d 13h 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?

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

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!
