mcduck Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The classic controller doesn't have any motion sensing ability so no you can't shake the classic controller.I'm assuming you can clear the game save slots, but I haven't played the new mario game yet so I can't confirm. Check in the options, or have a read of the manual. read the manual? and Thankyou for your words of Wisdom Oh Great Games Guru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bainf Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 also, we've started all 3 game save slots but baby wants her own, so can we clear one? Well kids will kill you if they dont get their own save game slots If you are serious you can transfer save file to an SD then PC that way you can have as many save files as you like It is annoying to transfer back and forwards though. At least do this once before clearing files if you have concerns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainf Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 well i'm thinking of putting an extra classic controller in my layby tomorrow and was wondering if you can shake the classic conroller? As for classic controller IMO they are a poor investment. I have many games but have never required a classic controller IMO wireless gamecube controllers a much better option. It usually applies to the same games and has more varied uses and cheaper (second hand new on ebay) and of course you can play classic gc games on the wii (mario kart double dash, Kelly slater surf, buffy, American truckers, powerpuff girls (well maybe not that many classics ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePump Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone, I just got myself a Wii and have it connected to my LCD. I have been reading about Component cables which are supposed to make the picture better when running at 480P, do these cables make a big difference? People recommend the $4 cables from DealExtreme as they say they do same job as the $40 official Nintendo ones. What do people think? Anyone have any suggestions on some good cables for cheap?

They make a fair difference, it isn't exactly high definition but they're worth it. I've got no idea how the DealExtreme ones go, I've only got the official one.

Is there a different between $5 cables and the more expensives ones? How much were the official Nintendo ones? Is there any deals on them ATM?

I got my WII component cable from Jaycar for $20, it's the best 20 i ever spent for the WII, the difference is like night and day. Even my wife, who at the time, couldnt tell the difference between blu-ray and DVD, said that there was a huge difference.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the cheapest ones I could on Ebay (sorted from cheapest to dearest) can't remember now, maybe $13 delivered from asia a year ago Yes I could instantly see a better picture.

IMO gold plated are better as they don't tarnish and you will get a better connection overall but any old connector will work, if you can tell the difference I will eat my wii and if you ever notice a bad signal a twist will do the trick, Try not to touch connectors when you plug it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StMt Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 That sounds really good, are they with gold connectors? Does it make a difference if they are gold platted or not... My recommendation try to find the cheapest one you can get. As long as the cable is within 5m length the difference in quality is hardly noticeable. Most people won't even be able to notice the difference. Gold plated also won't help picture quality - most of them only marketing gimmick.

I would say 20% sharper best investment ever I just got component cables for my panasonic plasma. Not a huge difference but for $6 from ebay, it's well worth it. Wii Sports actually looks pretty good. I think getting the panasonic plasma makes wii sports look better than what it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
