200 blocks needed for Guitar Hero World Tour song downloads
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“Saving on SD cards is the way to go if you plan on downloading a lot of songs. The Wii system memory is then used as a ‘content cache.’ This means you only need to have the free space for one song in the Wii system memory (about 200 blocks). … The game automatically transfers the song… plays the song, and deletes it when you’re done. … It all happens pretty quickly.” – Karthik Bala, Vicarious Visions developer
Having to store 200 blocks for Guitar Hero songs is not going to be fun. I don’t know about you guys, but my “virtual refrigerator” is about ready to explode!

No GameCube controller support in Mega Man 9
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Mega Man 9 released on Monday, but without GameCube controller support. That means that your only alternatives are the classic controller and the Wiimote by itself. Although, that’s not a terrible thing, is it? Mega Man 9 is a retro title, so technically, if you choose to play NES-style with the Wii controller, it’ll almost feel as though you were in the later ’80s…Right?! Anyway, even if you’re bummed about the lack of GameCube controller support, buy the game!
