What was the jumping thing? The player was hopping on dots and talking to various people. Looked like they were challenging him to do various things....Looks like they were exchanging players via wifi as well. :mrgreen:

hero mode replaces success mode in PP next. Hero mode is like a board game you move according to your card. The further you progress the better you may get.

How in the world did Konami acquire rights for the non-MLB players in WBC mode?
Anyway it's great and I hope it makes it to the US version if there is one.

I guess since they have the lincense of the WBC, they have the leagues permission to put the names in.

Probably. This looks like it should be good.

you know, there are some people that want the game, but dies before it coming out.
i ain't one of them :lol:

but sadly someone from this board or in Japan will die before the release.

I hate to say anything negative.

Then...why bring it up?

This version sounds amazing. My Wii isn't hooked up to Wi-Fi since our connection is wired, but I'll have to change that in time for the new game.

Definitley. Ask around at school or work. I'm sure their are plenty of people that could take a look at it for you without having to unload any cash.

...unless they want you to pay for their services.

Good thing my neighbor fits that description, catcher!

Now that we have the WBC mode, I wonder if we'll be able to choose the nationality of our Success players now...that would make Alloutwar's team cool, since they're of so many ethnics... I hope that happens!

lanceberkman · **Posted:** Mon Mar 23, 2009 10:50 pm

But what if one of your players is a racist.

jk

The ethnicity thing does sound cool though. Then maybe you could put your success player on team USA or Japan or something. I'm hoping the WBC will be incorporated into life...

You could have a really tan guy playing for Japan.

If you buy this game don't be surprised if you can't play online. You may have to update you wii online and if you do that you may have problems.

Due to the wii updating for 3.2 >>>3.3>>>3.4>>>3.5 prevents the Wii from playing the code breaker software. Unless you know a better way to play imports without hurting your warranty good luck.
