WiiWareWave Upgrades With A Splash of New Paint And New Functions!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



If you've visited our homepage today you've likely noticed that our latest news function has been heavily updated not only with a fresh new look, but also with a few new features as well! First of all our article types are now color-coded with news articles being red, reviews blue, exclusive features orange, and WiiWareWave news cyan. Another minor new feature added is that the page views are now listed for each of the articles on the portal.



We also fixed the banner at the top of our website. The background image has been fixed and now looks the same as the rest of the background on the website. Well, that's all for this update! What do you think of the changes? As always, be sure to let us know in our comments section below!

Nintendo has just shadow dropped four new games on NSO out of nowhere and some of the games are quite good! The four games added were as follows:

NES

SNES

Gameboy/Gameboy Color

The variety of games is pretty good for sure, and a"side" from perhaps the extremely niche Side Pocket are games that most players might at least put some time into. In any case, what do you think of the latest Nintendo Switch Online update? Also what games are you hoping will be added next?

Ad-Free Baybee!!!

Update: @BlueRangerJack has pitched in so our ad-free weekend is now scheduled to last through October 15th of 2021! Woot!

Original Article: Starting today and lasting through Tuesday, WiiWareWave is going ad-free for both members and guests to make the site even more enjoyable! We will be renewing our demain and forum package on Wednesday at which point we'll drop our ad-free option, unless you guys for some generous reason donate the 2000 or so additional credits we'd need to upgrade to the ad-free package here on our donation page, which of course is completely you, our member's choice!

In any case, what do you think about this temporary break from all of the ads on our site? Be sure to let us know in our comments section below!

WiiWareWave has received a new coat of paint and a slight redesign today! This will be our final website design before our domain moves and our site is renamed in late-October! What do you think of the modern and sleek new look of our website? As always be sure to let us know your thoughts in our comment section below!

Fresh New Name And Snazzy New Logo Needed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



WiiWareWave is something of an enigma it started off strong and even competed with the likes of Nintendo Life and Nintendo Everything for a good long while, but sadly merely adding Sony coverage to our website wasn't enough to increase activity on our website.

We need to change our name because the Wii moniker is completely irrelevant and doesn't fit our new focus on general gaming rather than focusing solely on Nintendo.

So here's the deal, in just 50 days our domain will expire so we'd like to ask you folks to donate credits to our website so we can purchase a name change and a new domain! We need at least 2000 credits which is roughly $20 USD. Anything raised above that would allow us to disable adsense allowing us to provide safe and relevant ads as well as fewer ads in general on our website.

Also @GeekyGamerZack will "hopefully" be designing our new logo and background image for our website. We'll be holding a contest in September to find the new name for our website.

The new site will go live sometime in late-October. All content and users will be moved over to our new domain, however the site may be down for up to 48 hours during the move, though staff will still be able to access the site, forums, and PM system during this time.

Starting today our staff will resume reviewing games although at a slow rate, after the move we'll try to hire more staff and increase our output of reviews and other content.

3DS Owners Rejoice!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



WiiWareWave's webhost, Forumotion has upgraded our forum version from PunBB to ModernBB a much more sleek and mobile friendly software, however with this comes incompatibility issues with many of our features. Also since the software is in Beta there are plenty of visual bugs, but our webhost should squash those relatively soon!

There is a fantastic positive to this update in the fact that most if not all of our features should now work on mobile devices and yes, even the 3DS browser which we're hearing can even run the live chat feature which was never possible before!

We'll try to work with our webhost to fix any visual issues and other bugs, but in the meantime be sure to let us know what you think in our comment section below, however keep in mind that our staff had nothing to do with the update.

Bye-bye Feature...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



As you may have noticed our recent posts module has been removed, but it was for a good reason as doing so has drastically decreased the loading time on our website! We'll try to add a fixed version of the feature at some point, but in the meantime be sure to let us know what you think in our comment section below!

WiiWareWave Is Back And Better Than Ever!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



After several months of squashing severe bugs and issues on our website, WiiWareWave is now officially bug free and in full working order. The images are now visible on all devices, the user toolbar is now fully functional once again, and members can edit their messages on game console browsers again. We've also gotten the chatbox functioning on the Wii U browser as you might have noticed!

The site still has some performance issues and slow loading times which we hope to fix soon, but as of right now all features have been fully restored to their pre-updated state.

We also added a few new features to the mobile version of our website including a toolbar that shows notifications and has a navigation menu that even includes a snazzy search function!

As always be sure to let us know your thoughts in our comments section below!

One Giant Leap!

[image placeholder]

We have finally managed to fix our administration panel and the mobile version of our website in the past week, there's still a ton more fixes that need to be made before we can operate normally again, but we're hopeful that our site will be running normally again before the end of the year! We're so very sorry to you our loyal fans and the game developers that have been affected by these issues. Once we do have everything fixed we'll be reporting several news stories per day and will try to get at least 4-5 reviews published per week so we can get back on-track.

As always be sure to report any new issues that might have been triggered by our recent fixes.

A Major Overhaul For You!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Our big 9.0.0 website update that we've been clamouring about for weeks is now live and there are some absolutely huge changes that have occurred as a result of our update. The most noteworthy change is to the mobile version of our website, but there's also plenty of new features in our desktop version as well!

Here's a rundown of all of the new features:

New Features For Our Mobile Website:

★ Our mobile website now has a completely new theme with a host of new features! The mobile version has almost every feature the desktop version possesses!

★ An indicator of which threads you have posted in is now available in the mobile version of our website!

★ User avatars and signatures are now visible on our mobile website!

★ Our mobile search feature is no longer in beta and is now fully functional!

New Features For Our Desktop Website:

★ Our staff badges are now live and are shown at the bottom left corner of a staff member's avatar!

★ We've dropped our banner rank system and streamlined our usergroup system to improve the look of our website and to improve its performance!

★ We've added pagination to PM messages so you can view the previous PM or the next PM on your list!

★ We've added a new reputation system! You can earn up to 20 green bars next to your username! The more bars you have, the better your reputation! You can earn reputation from people liking or thanking your posts and from simply posting new topics or replying to existing ones! So be sure to post alot as well as thanking helpful posts and liking posts that you like!

★ An improved tagging system has been added! If someone is tagged e.g. @Ichigofan you can place your cursor or stylus over the tagged username to bring up a neat popup with user profile options!

★ We've added a new watched tags feature so you can easily keep track of the various hashtags that we use for articles! You'll be notified of any new instances of a hashtag and will be able to quickly view any recent instances of the hashtag! You can use this feature via your user profile, just go to edit your profile and click the tab that says Tags and input the #hashtag in the search box and click the button that says follow a new tag!

★ We've also changed the permissions of #hashtags so only staff members can use the feature. We'll be continuing to use #hashtags as keywords/metatags for our blog articles. @Usertags are unaffected by this change!

★ We've changed the template of our website to make our background image more visible!

★ We've finished our new Wii U Virtual Console reviews hub and it can be accessed from our navigation menu!

Upcoming Features:

★ In our upcoming version 9.1.0 update we'll be styling hashtags into unique metatag buttons to give our blog articles an extra touch of pizazz!

★ We'll also try to add the national flags from user profiles into blog posts as well!

★ We'll also be adding more review hub sections in future updates!

A Few Minor To Moderate Additions For You!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



We've been extremely busy with updating WiiWareWave with fantastic new features leading up to our big 9.0.0 update that'll go live just in time for our website's 5th anniversary! Here's a rundown of the changes that have been implemented:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New Features:

We've now improved our mobile website even further with a new search feature! Members and guests previously couldn't use the search feature in the mobile version of our website, but we've added a beta search feature to it! This is a bit buggy at the moment and the search results only show results for what words you typed in the same order from beginning to end of your search terms, so our advice to you would be to search using common keywords we use in blog entries such as Review: , Developer's Interview: , eShop: , Virtual Console: Nintendo Network: ,  Breaking News: , etc. for your search terms until we find a solution to the issue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Partially Added New Features:

The second phase of our mentioning button feature has now been implemented! You'll see an @ symbol next to user profiles in forum posts and blog article author's posts that will easily allow you to mention those members. We'll be wrapping this feature into the currently unused mention button next to the quote button in the very near future!

Two sections of our new simplified review hubs have been finished! These two sections are the Wii U (Retail) hub and the Wii U (eShop) hub! You can now view them as you normally would from our navigation menu at the top of our website, just choose reviews and choose Wii U or Wii U eShop in the drop-down sub-menu! We will be adding the other review hub sections to the menu over the upcoming weeks as well as changing the aesthetics of the pages if at all possible "no promises though!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another update should be following up this one in the next few days! We'll let you know when the next website update goes live! What do you think of the latest update to our website? As always be sure to let us know in our comment section below!

Game-Changing Update!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Just when you think that we're done updating our website, we roll out yet another site update! Our latest update adds a ton of new features and gives the mobile version of our website a welcome boost in functionality! Here's a rundown of all of the new features that have been added to our website:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New Features:

@Mentioning tool has been added to our text editor, just choose the @symbol to utilize the function's many features including quickly mentioning anyone on your friends list!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Partially Implemented Features:

We've added a mention button to the forum editing tools that appears right next to the quote button and will be used to quickly mention the user you want to mention by clicking the mention button in one of his/her messages. This feature isn't fully implemented yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New Mobile Website Functionality:

Images now appear in articles and forum threads instead of being merely a link to the images!

Possibly the most spectacular new feature of our version 8.3.0 update is that you can now quote, edit, and delete messages in the mobile version of our website!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aesthetic Changes:

We've now added a badge to our administration staff's avatars this will be added to more types of staff members soon and will be repositioned to fit inside the bottom-right corner of the avatar's of our crew members!

We changed the way that thanked posts look, instead of changing the background color of the thanked user's post we've added a message/image in the bottom-right corner of the message block for that post!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Upcoming Features:

We'll be doing away with our rank banners to tidy up user profiles and to slightly boost our forum's loading speed!

We'll be doing more minor to moderate aesthetic changes to our website!

We'll be adding more excellent features to the mobile version of our website, including proper page-by-page pagination for the forum and blog topics!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's even more new things coming that we can't even mention yet! Are excited by these new and upcoming changes to our website? Do you have any requests for features that you'd like us to implement in our big version 9.0.0 update which'll go live on our website's 5th anniversary next month? Be sure to let us know the answers to these questions in our comment section below!

Follow-up Update!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The third of our website updates that we reported would be occurring in the near future has now gone live! This update is chalk full of bug fixes and new features and visuals!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bug Fixes:

We fixed the bug with our delete button in the topics so now it brings up a message asking if you're sure that you want to delete it rather than instantly deleting the thread!

New Features:

There's now a Text Editor resizer in our quick reply box and our advanced editor that allows you to resize the editor to full-screen mode!

There's also a new quick editor feature that allows you to quickly edit your posts without changing the page or refreshing it! This new feature automatically activates when you normally update your posts, however slow internet connection can cause the feature to fail and the standard post editor will open in that case.

Graphical Changes:

Perhaps the most noteworthy change is our new porthole-style avatars in our forums and blogs, which add a nice touch to our nautical theme!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Follow-up Update!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



We recently stated in our overview article of our version 8 website update that more new features were on the way and we're excited to announce the two new features that have been added to WiiWareWave as of today's version 8.1.0 update! The first of the new features will be very useful mainly to us staff members, but some members might get some use out of it as well.

This new feature is an indicator showing the character limit and remaining characters that you can use in your posts, comments, and when editing your profile signature!

The second feature is far more game-changing! You now can post messages in real-time using our quick reply box in our forums and blogs. This will add your message without refreshing the page, and should also allow you to read new comments as they're made in our forums and blogs without having to refresh the page! This feature is in beta so keep in mind there might be some issues with it.

We'll be adding even more features in the near future, but in the meantime tell us what you think of today's update and be sure to report any bugs that you run across in our comment section below!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Major Changes Big & Small!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



WiiWareWave has changed alot over the years, some changes have been bigger than others. Today's update is definitely one of our bigger updates in the past year with a few great new features as well as an aesthetic overhaul with new colors and fonts throughout our website!

The most notable change is to our toolbar at the top of most pages, it is no longer glued to the top of the page, this was done as a work-around to an issue that our update caused. In the right side of the toolbar there's a new option called CB with a number after it. This is a new chatbox indicator that shows the total number of users in the chatbox and when you click the text a mini-chatbox will come down. It's not usable in it's current form, but it shows the online users and has a link to the full-page version of the chatbox so you can jump right in if you see someone is in the chatbox! The user counter updates upon page change and sounds have been added to our notification system, but they only play if you use an up-to-date version of Chrome or Firefox!

This feature is in beta so there could be other issues with it so be sure to report any problems so we can fix them!

Another major feature that we changed up a bit is the like system, the old one was broken so we added a new one. Click the green arrow in the bottom right side of forum posts, articles, and blog comments to upvote a post. Liking posts pays too as every legitimate like will earn members 3-5 WiiWareWave Coins for our forum shop!

We also altered our quick reply box in the forums and blogs to display your avatar as an added aesthetic touch! We also changed our background back to the "Classic WiiWareWave" one, for now.

That's not all! We completely revamped our site's color-scheme and fonts to make things easier to read!

More changes are in the pipeline including new online indicators for profiles, ditching the ranking system and adding staff badges "to substantially boost loading times" and Round "porthole" style avatars!

What do you think of the changes and new features? Do you like them? Have you run across any issues with our website? Be sure to let us know in our comments section below!

Update: The mini chatbox does indeed work, but only if there are messages in the chatbox at the time, otherwise the text editor won't appear.
