Is Kid Icarus for NES ?? I liked that game when it was out originally.

Re: Wii Online and Virtual Console Discussion

Kirby, Kid Icarus and Ice Climber today's games.

Kid Icarus was probably my favorite NES game growing up. I'm not sure why, but I loved it.

Is that the SNES Kirby? That game was OK. I have never played Ice Climber.

Re: Wii Online and Virtual Console Discussion

I've actually never played Kid Icarus before, at least I can't remember ever playing it. Is it worth $5?

I've never played Ice Climbers either, but I do know they sucked on Super Smash Bros Melee :P

I believe Kid Icarus is well worth $5, but I am probably biased! It was released on the same day as Metroid and was often overlooked for that reason. It also looks A LOT like Metroid in its level designs. It is set in Greek mythology times and you play as a cupid-like character who is sent to rescue a goddess.

I think you will enjoy it as long as you remember it is 20 years old now. I know I have been saving points for it to release.

Re: Wii Online and Virtual Console Discussion

I have a connectivity question, I normally had my main pc / broadband modem / broadband router all set up to send signals to my wireless adapter (sons pc) and my 360's wireless adapter, now I'm trying to connect the Wii...

My question is this, My Wii saw my network by searching for it (it showed the network's name (not secured)) so we tried it and it connected and it is online now.

Does this mean that everyone in my Townhome complex can be tapping into my connection since I have this router?

If so, I need someone to be able to tell me how to secure it for only me and my family to use. I had to turn my firewalls off on my pc and my sons (but with a wireless router I know I dont need it anyways). I just want to make sure nobody is using a wireless adapter to tap into my network.

I did not realize that the Wii has its own Wireless adapter built in. It found my network with no connections what so ever.

Yes, if your router is unsecured, anyone could be logging on and stealing your bandwith.

Go into the router's settings, and set a WEP code (the Wii uses WEP).

I'm sorry bro, I'm not too PC / Tech savvy, could you either type me through it, or talk me through it, whatever is better bro.

Lemme know, I am a bit overwhelmed right now EG.

Many thanks bro, I have a wireless adapter for my 360 as well, but sometimes we disconnect it and take it with us if we go visit the inlaws, in those cases if we leave it whatever we use an ethernet cord for the 360, will that need a wep as well? If it had the cord vs the wireless adapter i mean.

Thanks again in advance.

Re: Wii Online and Virtual Console Discussion

Yeah, if you give your router a WEP key, every wireless item you use, will also need the key.

Re: Wii Online and Virtual Console Discussion

Yo Bolt, the Wii also uses WPA as well as WEP (the DS only uses WEP). While the latter is more secure, the WPA security option allows you to just come up with some password, like "Boltmanrocks". WEP generates a series of keycodes which use a combination of letters and numbers (hence the increased security). Using that option allows an easier transfer option (for your in-laws) and something you won't forget if you don't like logging into your router settings.

To do what? Just type 192.168.1.1 into your address bar, the default password is "admin" (no username), go to "Wireless" and then "Security" (or something similar) and you can set everything up.

No one can jump on my network! I love it LOL like 5 peeps were tapping on, my connection is godly now! Cant wait to retry my speedtest connection!

Re: Wii Online and Virtual Console Discussion

I'm all set, thing is, he said if I get off the ethernet cord from my 360 back to the wireless adapter, I need to call them and add it to my new "secured network".
