  • Wii impressions and Zelda Twilight Princess bug

    Ok, it’s Monday and I had a few hours on the weekend to play around with the Wii and Zelda. Currently I’m having sore muscles around my neck and shoulders from playing tennis, bowling and boxing in the Wii Sports bundle but it’s been worth it so far.

    Zelda has been also quite satisfying until now and there has been just one downturn. About 15 minutes after the beginning where you get your horse and have to roundup the goats. After bringing in the goats there is a chance to practice showjumping where you can finish the practice by jumping over the exit doors. During practicing I saved the game and then left the room with the game inside a menu. When I came back the Wiimote has turned itself off because of inactivity and the game said that it has lost connection to the controller. I reactivated the Wiimote and the game found it again but the button to continue playing stayed disabled. No problem so far I thought, resetted and reloaded my savegame. Surprisingly I again got the duty to roundup the goats but they refused to enter their stable. And also the fence of the area was opened opposed to it’s state when I saved the game so I couldn’t leap over it with my horse. In the end I was completely unable to finish this quest and had to dump this savegame. It wasn’t a large drawback because I just needed 10 minutes to reach this spot again but I hope such errors don’t pop up later in the gameplay again. In the future I’ll have to look out not to be inside an active quest while saving.

  • Wii are connected

    Today I went to the city to visit some toy stores and in the end I paid a pre-order for a Wii package. Super Mario Galaxy and Zelda Twilight Princess are quite likely to follow when I’m about to pick this small gem up next week. Although, I’m not personally picking it up because on that day, despite being a holiday, I’m attending a Java training at my workplace.

    Yeah, finally I’m jumping into Java full-scale. 5-day training lessons. Hopefully it’ll have some effect on my current position or unintentional "project affinity" at work. Some new challenges would really be nice.

  • Wii are only few days away

    Only seven days to go and then the Nintendo Wii will hit stores in europe. Well, not for long. I guess the Wii packages won’t be in the stores for a long time.

    Nevertheless, do you remember my idea from May, where I suggested the Wii Remote as input device for PCs?

    Looks like that idea is now in process of being realized by the WiiLi project here. And more, a full-blown Live Linux on the Wii would be quite cool stuff, wouldn’t it?
