The Other Worlds Shrine

  • New Nintendo channel update, fairly nice

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I have no idea If anyone else even uses this channel. Just in case: The Nintendo channel now has a stats section that I like. I found some surprises.

Rune Factory Frontier - 164 plays, 221 hours
Wii Fit - 220 plays, 218 hours
Super Mario Galaxy - 137 plays, 188 hours (probably about 170 hours of that are not me)

The biggest surprise was the Internet channel which had over 400 hours, likely due to all the YouTube that's been watched.

Super Mario Brothers 3 is the top VC game with 90 hours and FF4 AY is the top WiiWare with 44 hours.


There's also a new MUCH improves UI, and some expanded features such as DS download. There's also a weekly show which seemed kind of lame, but it might improve. There was a cool Scribblenaughts video demo, I can understand why no d-pad control was used, it wouldn't make sense in this game.

Lastly, there is an option of using higher quality video now.

For those who don't know what the Nintendo channel is: it is kind of like the Wii's own GameTrailers, but it also contains an extensive database of game info, articles, etc... Tracks game recommendations and stats. And is where DS an Wii demos are located.

I could use some good WiiWare recs.

Then again, I'm six games backlogged and buried under work, and when I do take a break I'm so exhausted from work that I grind WC3 because it's something I know and love and am good at. So chances are I will never play them.

Does anyone want to play WC3 again, LOL? I would love to play with some Shrine people. Tess and I actually got to be a pretty damn good team before our falling out IIRC...what were we, 60-70%?
