Latest WiiWareWave News

Many apologies!



WiiWareWave is going to receive a massive update/overhaul tonight with many changes that are going to be implemented!

As a result WiiWareWave will be offline for a few hours. Let us know what you think about the update once we are finished.

Update: After messing up coding the website I nearly destroyed the functionality of WiiWareWave, but luckily I managed to fix everything except the rank title feature.
I apologize for messing up and will...

OtakWiiU is the winner of our weeklong contest with 108 posts.
Rukiafan will send you the download ticket by the end of tomorrow.
Congratulations OtakWiiU.

Welcome The Newest Member of The WiiWareWave Crew



Clαππαd has joined the WiiWareWave staff as Global Moderator be sure to congratulate her and introduce yourselves as she will be here alot! Clαππαd is now our first full-time staff member so the forum admins, reviewers, and news anchors no longer need to moderate the forums. I have One final staff related piece of news to share and...

Today and for the past few days you will have seen some big changes with Nintendo Ninja News and my writing web site Chris Ticehurst.com. There’s been some big decisions made and that’s always been what I have been about. Looking at what needs to be done and to improve it. One of the main reasons Nintendo Ninja News has been shrunk into just a podcast show is because of the overpopulation of gaming sites, forums, and other gaming aspect sites that have crowded the internet. Most new web sites don’t last because they are based on the same aspects as other known sites and I felt Ninja News was starting...

I'm very level headed and calm and I prefer to defuse a situation rather than use force, but be warned if someone insults me or someone else severely in a hurtful way I'll go off like a volcano lol.
Just be nice and civil and we'll get along.

I don't lock topics because of minor details like necro posting or grammatical errors unless it could cause confusion.
I'll try to help anyone that has questions about the website and its features to the best of my knowledge.

Nintendo Ninja News will be going through some major changes. It will either be changing and it's web site merged into my own writing web site or the web site will be closed this week.

After a number of weeks working on the numbers of seeing if the site could hold a reasonable amount of staff members, work a partnership, and increase web activity. It's increasingly unlikely it this will be happening. The partnership hasn't worked out to the degree that I was hoping. There's been a couple helpful members here but not enough. The lack of basic internet connection has been a problem too...

More Fun Than a Barrel of Monkeys!



The top poster this week on WiiWareWave will earn a great reward during our new Post Alot Contest! What is this reward you ask? It is none other than a free download ticket for the eshop game Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!

Well I've been sick with the flu for the past three weeks so it's good to be getting better! Nintendo Ninja News and the partnership has been going well however the blog itself has been lacking the new membership that the forum has received. It's important that both sites do well.

So I'm doing a small survey to see who here can access the web site and who is willing to help out. Copy and paste the questions!

1. Can you access the web site - nintendoninjanews.com?

2. Would you like to be article writer or reviewer?

3. Can you access Facebook?

As you may have noticed activity was down today, but it wasn't merely a slow day, several members contacted us saying that they couldn't login and some couldn't even load our website.

Thankfully John Knight was working hard behind the scenes to fix the issue and says the debugging is finished, so look forward to more activity on WiiWareWave tomorrow.

July 1st was the second most active day in WiiWareWave's history with a staggering 295 posts for the day! With several new members posting between 15-30 posts each!

Keep it going everyone, and remember have fun posting.

Hello guys and gals, you might be wondering where my new review is which is supposed to be posted in this particular day...

Well, first of all, sorry about that, it's just that I've been helping around on something important in my life as of now, therefore making me absent from here...

But I will all tell you this: when I'm done, I plan on doing more "Beyond the Fence" articles since those haven't been updated for quite a long time ! so I might take a break from reviewing Nintendo games for now... and I'm also planning on doing other articles such as another "Battle Royale...

At the beggining of June I was having a laugh with myself when members were worried about the lack of posting with the forum as I knew with the updates to the forum, the partnership and that some members were returning that there wasn't much to fear about the forum.

June turned out to be the second biggest month since October last year smashing some of the past months by at least 800 posts. Members became more interested in the forum, E3 did have a effect thou it didn't show up as quickly as some thought and the discussions have been very good.

It was also great to see a...

We just reached 100 Twitter followers today which is very good news. Hopefully we can reach 200 followers soon.

We've been using a free tool that estimates a site's value based on,site name,design,# of members,and activity and here's our stats!


April "we started this site on the 26th"
$22.01
May
$185.86
June
$678.89

and as of today
$1389.22


Don't worry we have no plans on selling

If you see below the "The Last Story" text, you will see the date that the game will come out in the US.

I just want to inform you all, members, staff and visitors, that the date is not correct !

The reason why I haven't changed the date is because there are so many rumors about when the game is actually going to come out in the US, some say is July 10th, but some say it's August 2nd, until I can get any confirmation from XSEED or Nintendo, I'll still see any confirmation of it's release date and THEN I will finally change the correct date.

It finally looks like Ninja News and Ware Wave are getting together for some re-designs. The site looks pretty good to me and we will continue to work through the forum to make it easier for people to use.

Tell us what you think!

Here it is - the first of two podcasts for the sites. Have a good listen to it as it's important for both web sites.

And in some exciting news. Did you know that you can actually ask me a question or comment via phone now? We have a phone number in America and for Canada users to give me a voicemail and it will be on the podcast show.

Give Ninty the Ninja a call on (347) 391-GAME and we'll sort out your Nintendo questions!

The forum wanted podcasts and we have delivered!

Our graphics designer John Knight is currently overhauling our forum as we speak, and as a result WiiWareWave will be under maintenance for a short time within the next hour or so!

Update: The changes are complete and WiiWareWave is no longer under maintenance.

Happy Paper Anniversary!



Celebrate WiiWareWave's 1st anniversary with us today, and share your thoughts and memories you have in the comments! We also changed our signature format, images can no longer be put into your sig and the signature size limit is now 350 characters. These changes should improve the performance of our forum, and make the forum look more clean.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!



WiiWareWave turns one year old on March 16th, and in celebration we have decided to improve the appearance, and enhance the features our website offers! There are many more changes coming over the course of the next week, but these are the changes currently implemented!

The avatars are much larger in the blog posts now.

The forum has a sleek design, and rounded edges on Chrome, and Firefox browsers, but sadly is still boxxy looking on the Wii...

Moving up the ranks!



Jnes5 is without a doubt one of our most talented reviewers, so it should come as no surprise that Jnes5's review for The Conduit was positively commented on by High Voltage Software themselves on Twitter!
The review can be viewed here.


Note from Jnes5: the picture has some spanish words because...

You may have noticed a section in your "or another persons" profile page called visitor messages and tried to mess with it only to get an error message, well we have officially finished your visitors messages section!

What does this mean you ask?

Well the visitors messages section in your profile is sort of a social wall for your friends, and other members to post messages and chat with you on!

Hello people of Wiiwarewave ! just letting you all know that the owner of the website, Rukiafan, has added a new score policy in the reviews ! in which this time every single score has a meaning:

10- Perfect This game is nearly perfect, and has little if any flaws, and is a blast to play!

9- Awesome This game has little in the way of flaws, and is a highly enjoyable experience.

8- Great This is a great game that might have a few flaws or could have been better, but is still a...

We are currently seeking 2 reviewers.
1 News anchor.
1 Webmaster or graphics designer.
1 News/review editor.

Experience is preferred, but if you can impress us with an example of what you can do we'll hire you!

These are not paid positions so we understand if that is a turn off, but we do this for the love of gaming not for profit.

We are currently holding a contest to win one of two free 500 point Wii Shop games all you have to do is be one of the top 2 posters in the period from now until the end of december 24th!
If you win you must exchange your Wii friend code with us and tell us which 500 point WiiWare or Wii Virtual Console game you would like!



There are a few rules
1st- You must be a registered member to be eligible.

I remember when Sneaker and myself first created WiiWareWave and Sneaker was the only member besides myself,things were very tough between posting 2-4 reviews a day at first and trying to draw in members after a few days Cloud_Strife joined the team and started reviewing games as well,and before I knew it we had nearly 15 members!
Then came the virus that crippled our original website which forced...

Some of you may have noticed that the podcast never was posted. I haven't heard ANYTHING from Jnes5 in the past 26 hours. This worrys me a bbit. We had about 1,000 users on earlier today waiting for the release of the podcast. But Jnes5 never showed up. Rukiafan they got a bunch of messages from people who were upset about what happened.
Veary sorry for the inconvienence! From the looks of it, we will have to wait untill the 24th for the next podcast. Truley sorry,

AOX

Hi there! Zer0 checking in to remind you that you all have one more day to take our survey! Jnes was lucky enough to be able to hear some of the stats from the survey! I guarentee that this survey is going to bring wiiwarewave a bunch of new features! So, remember! Take the survey wile you still have a chance!

Creative director

Wiiwarewave has had its ups and downs since its creation on march 16th 2011 from its slow start to the virus attack that crippled our original website in april,and let's not forget the day in june when wiiwarewave got over 30 new members
now we have made another incredible feat as yesterday we had 25,386 visitors on our website and combined between them 8.6 million pages viewed

Yipee way to go wiiwarewave

You might have noticed a few changes to wiiwarewave today! So here's a rundown of the new features!
New Smiley
Razz code : P
"no space between : and P"

New group
We have added a new group though we likely won't need it anytime soon given our small size but here it is -MODCOP-

New Rank Badges
Our admins and moderators have new rank badges!
Though not fully implemented yet we've added 6 new ranks and will change our ranks positions and posts needed to reach those...

To celebrate this occasion I've added a google rank tracker on our portal!
also I changed our twitter widget,tried to improve our portal even further tell me what you think

Okay guys we need several new reviewers as I am not that good "only 3-4 of my dozens of reviews are professional quality",and cloud is so busy,so we need new reviewers badly

We especially need reviewers who can review wiiware/vc games
and DS/3DS/Dsiware/3dsware/vc games!

@staff I need you guys to try to recruit some reviewers be it a real life acquaintance or from some other board,because we just can't update the site enough or in my case write good enough reviews/articles to impress guests enough to want to join the community

As unbelievable as it may be wiiwarewave is spiraling out of control in a viral state
We'll keep you up to date on this situation as it continues to develop

I added a guestbook page on the navigation menu,I also added a Review of the day tab on the portal to showcase a selection older review which will change each day,so older reviews get more hits,lastly I added several new smilies just to name a few

We are becoming quite popular so much so that we've reached 2 milestones in one day!
We're also only 72 visitors shy of reaching the 20,000 site visitors mark!

In celebration we'll host a live chat discussion at 12:00pm pacific time to 4:00pm pacific time!
But remember you must be a member to join live chat and membership is free!

I added new avatars to our avatar selection in the profile menu,and tweaked the recent reviews in the sidebar to show 6 reviews instead of 5!
