Keeping with replaying Wii launch titles, I booted up Red Steel last night. I remember enjoying this game back in the day despite it's many flaws Sadly, my HDTV does not work well with the Wii pointer games; it's noticably laggy. I have my TV set to game mode and I'm running the game through my Wii U but aiming is still difficult. Red Steel's inconsistent frame rate doesn't help either. Oh, well. I'm going to keep playing to see if I can get used to it.
Have you tried changing the sensitivity in the Wii menu? Also, check your IR bar and wii remote sensor. Clean them. Remember IR is affected by reflections so close curtains. It might just be that your wii remote is old. I was having problems with 1 OG one so I bought a black one, the newer one with motion plus built in.
Finished Forgotten Anne, took 30 hours. Beautiful and charming game. The platforming became a minor chore near the end. The world however was enchanting. Its a really unique and poignant world made more real by your final choice. I'd really recommend this as an adventure game with light platformer elements.

I forgot about that. I'll try it tonight. Thanks, GG.The Wii remote I have has motion+ built in. I bet my sensor bar is dusty too.
Humble Bundle can go fuck right off. I somehow missed the memo that they became a publisher. Anyway I just got an email from them about a big Nintendo switch sale, and I got excited thinking it was an actual bundle deal like they did with the Wii U and 3DS. Nope. Just 75% off a bunch of indie games that barely register even to fans of indie games.

I tried a new, well reviewed 3rd party remote from amazon. It was fine for button games but utter junk for IR making all fps play like crap. With wii used on a huge TV you definitely have to up the sensitivity of the IR in the menu.
Burnout Paradise, I like it a lot, but it does get a bit repetitive. Sometimes it feels like you're doing the same thing over and over but the base experience is always fun.
I tried your suggestions, guys, and my Wii's pointer controls are much better now. Feels more like it did in 2006. Been too long since I setup a Wii.
Great. I remember if I left my wii unused for a long time some weird sticky residue builds up on the end of the IR remote and the IR sensor bar too. Still hilarious to close the curtains and sit in the dark to stop sunlight messing up FPS. Or worrying about reflections from glass tables.
After a solid week of non stop play I've finally reached the point in Asphalt 9 where it feels like I have to buy something to upgrade my car. I've maxed out my cars, now they want blueprints to upgrade. 20 per car usually. If they wanted 20 pounds to unlock the whole game fine. But this drip feed of microtransactions is annoying shit. But I have played well over 20 hrs for free and can still replay all the tracks and do multilayer etc. I'm trying my best to grind out shallow victory in the career mode but it ain't easy.
Tried out some more Wii games with Mclassic. It seems the better the graphics of the original game, the cleaner the picture. No More Heroes 1 looked like dog crap, NMH2 looked great. Dead Space Extraction looked really good, like an HD remaster. Donkey Kong returns looked decent in 4:3 mode but it plays in letterbox format that way. In normal mode it looked kinda okay. Skyward Sword looked bleh, playable but bleh. I'm a bit reticent as to what to do at this point. I can literally see myself ditching half my collection if there's no decent way to play them anymore. I was going to get a 1080p monitor, a retrotink, hook up all my old consoles. But if I spent all that money, hooked everything up and then turned on an old classic to play I'd have this anticipation of it looking great and being playable. When it could still look like junk.
I got Doom Eternal and Fallout 4 GOTY yesterday for my 48th birthday. Doom Eternal is absolutely nuts. So over the top and insanely fast-paced and a lot better than Doom 2016. It knows it's a videogame and I love that.
I haven't booted up Fallout 4 yet but will after Doom Eternal and Quake.
Speaking of Quake, it has Quake 64 available as a free add-on. Never thought I'd be playing Quake 64 again. Neat novelty.

Happy Birthday there young whipper snapper. Youβre a whole two years my junior.
Yeah played some Doom Eternal myself earlier this year. Things can get quite intense in that game but I was really enjoying it. Need to get back to it someday.

Red Steel 2 was vastly superior. I'm looking forward to playing it again if I can get the lag reduced.

Got my Burnout Licence, saw the credits.

Any of you other old guys play this? I logged probably hundreds of hours on this game in the 90's

I want to say that I did play a bit of it but honestly not entirely sure. I probably did rent it back in the day but played it only very briefly.
