skyrim is not a zelda game @moonshine311

I bought my Wii used at GameStop a few years ago. After a few months it wouldn't read Smash Bros. Brawl, so I sent it in to Nintendo to get it fixed.

Now a whole year later, I'm getting those disc read error messages again. All my other games except Brawl work. Damn it! Now I have to send in my Wii again...

Sorry, I'll be taking that later on.

I'm more excited for Super Mario 3D Land. I was confused at first as to why Skyward Sword seems like this also-ran to me till I deduced what the deal is — it's on the Wii, a dusty old system I've not played in quite a while. 3D Land is for the 3DS, a system I play with often (because it's new), even though game wise it's lacking. This fact makes the new Mario game all the much more exciting since it's kind of the first "real" game for 3DS developed by Nintendo. It just seems to me like they're releasing Skyward Sword onto a dead platform that a lot of people have moved on from. I almost wish they had waited to put it out on the Wii U so that a.) it would be a launch title for a new system and b.) so it would drum up interest for said new system because as it stands right now, not so interested in the Wii U either. It's gonna take games to sell that one to me and Skyward Sword probably would have done it. Will it make me turn my Wii back on? Yeah, probably at some point, but not on launch day.

Ah, that really sucks... Hope you get it fixed for good this time.

Wii U can play Wii games.

Why not just sell your used Wii and some other games you don't want and put that towards a GCN-less newly designed Wii.
the amount of money your spending to send your Wii in again while not being able to play Brawl could of got you a brand new Wii including the money you spent on a used one.

I really dug how the swords fell through the sky and crash landed into peoples living rooms.
Too bad they hardly showed off the most important thing here, ahem* the game!

Link finished the finishing blow before the player did. Whoa!

@SuperToad, Yeah, I know it will be able to play Wii games but had it been a Wii U exclusive launch title, I'd probably be more excited for both the game and the Wii U is the point I was trying to make.

Yeah, but it's just unlikely that there will not be an actual Wii U game that can justify the purchase. It would help the launch, yes. We don't know if it will have a good launch game or not. It's been five years since Twilight Princess, and to suspend it any longer for the sake of helping the Wii U launch, I do not want.

Its cause thats the closest that jealous Microsoft fanboys can compare Skyward Sword to to make themselves feel all good.

So I read the spoilers as someone got the text dump from the whole game. its epic and connects everything together mostly.

WAIT WHAT

does that mean what I think it means?!

actually don't answer that, I hate spoilers

HYPE

what do you think?

I already filled out the repair order. Since Brawl is the only game that doesn't work, I'm getting the Wii repaired for free. I guess Nintendo still honors that old "free repair if Brawl doesn't work" thing. It's a good way to exploit the repair process and avoid any fees.

And I was considering buying a new Wii, but then I'd lose all my save data and Wii Shop downloads. Unless there's a way to transfer it (without hacking)...

QUESTION 1: If I buy a new Wii and link it to my Club Nintendo account, will I be able to re-download all my stuff at no cost?

QUESTION 2: Do the new Wiis have better-quality disc drives? Or do they still have problems reading dual-layer discs?
