I've had the homebrew channel on my Wii for a while but have been running Xenoblade through a USB Loader. Although to be honest, I havent used my Wii for so long I dont think I'd miss the homebrew. If I did the system update would it just remove it without breaking my Wii?

Which update are you on about? The IOS update will just remove the IOS used in the USB loader, which you can then install to a different slot later. It won't remove the homebrew channel. As for the 4.3 update, that won't remove the homebrew channel either if you have the channel updated to the latest version.

I'm confused. You are playing Xenoblade through a USB loader but you want to remove homebrew from your system? In that case you would lose the USB Loader too, you are aware of that?

Anyway, why do you want to update you Wii in the first place? I'm still on 4.0 and Xenoblade runs just fine without an update.

Hate that the classic controller connects to your wii mote. Wastes the wii mote battery. >.<

I thought that takes up less battery? At least that's what I noticed. Or maybe I've just had strange cases...

Yes, it does. Batteries live forever with the Classic Controller since it doesn't have rumble. I get about 60 hours out of a fresh pair of batteries.

What else should it connect to? oO

The gamecube ports. Then again the new console doesn't even have them.

I dunno it just bugs me for some reason, having to have the wii mote with you. It's silly I know.

Could try getting one of those official nintendo lense cleaners?

Thats the IOS one then. It'll just remove the IOS, which you can easily just reinstall in a different slot. I'd check the Neogaf thread if and when you want to reinstall the IOS.

Sometimes NOE does change names between European countries (for instance in the German verison of Fire Emblem I remember Hawkeye being called Tronk) but I assume due to voice acting they might not this time.

When I did it this morning (7:30AM) it worked fine and dowlonaded quickly.

Wii remote seems to have several power levels from what I understand:
-High precision pointer
-Low precision pointer (this is why the systme menu can be jerkier to control than games)
-No pointer

Also speaker and rumble affect it (some say even if the game doesn't use these).

Is there anything I should be ranting about in the text boxes of the Xenoblade survey registration survey?

I mean, now that Last Story has been confirmed there aren't too many burning localisation issues.

I'll just write 'FIRE EMBLEM' 2000 times.
Click to expand...

I think I'm going to express disappointment on behalf of my American chums (while acknowledging it's not NoE's fault), then turn around and state my distress over the potential for Atlus titles on the 3DS not coming here. Did Nintendo themselves publish the European version of Etrian Odyssey? I think that might be the tack I take.

One thing I don't like about what the localization team did (yes, I spell it with a 'z' and pronounce the letter 'zee', my European friends) is that ugly 'y' in 'Reyn'.

If the katakana is &#12521;&#12452;&#12531;, doesn't it make more sense to spell it the way it was originally spelled, "Rein"?

The superfluous 'y' reminds me of the terrible fantasy trope in the West of putting apostrophes everywhere to make something sound more exotic -- except in this case, it ends up looking stupid. Why not just go all-out and name him 'Reynn'?

Are the names the same in all of the (European) languages? "Rein" would be a pretty stupid name in German, maybe that's why they went with "Reyn".
Click to expand...

they are all the same.
the german names would be closer to the japaneses originals due to their similar spelling -> &#12521;&#12452;&#12531; translates to "rain", which would sound like rain in english, but like ra-in in german [vergleichbar mit "mais" oder hai]

Wiimote + Chuck is perfectly fine for playing. Maybe even more comfortable. The only "issue" is camera control, but you can auto-correct it by pressing Z anyway.

Yep, same for me. Oh well, at least I'll have a busy weekend so I won't have time before Tuesday anyway.

Would this be a good jrpg to start with? I think FF9 is the only jrpg I've played.

Tempted to pick this up after reading the impressions here.

Definitely yeah, just be prepared to be overwhelmed with the amount of content

This game feels so well put together; every little piece is strongly linked. I am impressed by the combat/relationship/sidequest machine they have.
I have a feeling that they might be branching story lines which would make it really important who you fight alongside, heal, and encourage... because it may dictate where the story goes(don't spoil that for me).

FF9 and Skies of Arcadia are my favourite JRPG's (along with the Paper Mario's), and so far Xenoblade has been extremely impressive.

Btw does the whole affinity have an actual effect on the storyline? I get pretty ocd with these things if it influences the actual story.

Typical. Game arrives and it's the nicest day of the week. I wish it was a handheld game so that I could play in the sunshine.

Also this game needs a bestiary so bad. It's really weird that a RPG so well designed haven't got one. It's probably my biggest (and only) serious complain so far.

Mope around? :p Nah, I'll just keep this thread company! It'll be a far stretch for me to get it today. UK to Texas is not a stone's throw away. Hell, it probably just barely left the UK.

I won't say I'm as excited as others because I already played a fait bit in Japanese.
But it's always nice to say that the game arrived at my doorstep this morning.

Indeed. Definitely glad I went for it. It's not really a collectors edition though, it feels more like a controller and game bundle if anything.

Alright guys. I think I'm going to jump in. About to order a Wii from Amazon. I know it's probably been said in this thread multiple times but as an American what's the best place to order to import the game?
