3 thoughts on “Q&A: Is there a reason why people mention not to forget the instruction books for Wii?”
it is because the wii isn’t like any other system its more complicated but when you get the hang of it its really fun
I’ve never heard that before. I barely ever read the instructions, only when i don’t understand it.
I wasn’t aware that anyone was even mentioning that.
However, the instruction books aren’t ever included in the Wii games we rent frequently from our local Blockbuster–and we’ve never found any problem playing them regardless!
I think though you may be referring to the “guidebooks” that you can buy for around an extra $ 20 for games such as the Pima Guidebook for “The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess”.
The games are designed in such a manner that you really don’t NEED the guidebook to play the game, but it can be somewhat frustrating without it–it may take you 20-30 tries or more to discover the “tricks” to beating some of the more difficult “boss” battles or figuring out certain puzzles, and unless you play the game a number of times, there’s a great deal you’ll probably miss out on running around in the dark–but that’s great if you happen to be the type of person who enjoys discovering things on your own!
Alot of these games however also have all kinds of “unlockables” that you need to know the codes for–and you may never figure those out, I don’t care how long you play it!
However, the real truth is all you need is internet access, and you can get all the same information and instructions found in those guidebooks for FREE, by just going to one of the gamer websites such as “Gamespot” and “IGN” where individual players have already posted all the known “hints, tips and cheats”, often along with complete “walkthroughs” of the various games! If a new game has just hit the market though, it may be a few months before players start posting all the “secrets” to beating and getting the most enjoyment out of that particular game.
Myself though, I pay the extra $ 20 and buy the guidebooks! But that’s mainly because I just happen to like the guidebooks so I don’t mind spending the money for them. I find the books well-written and better organized, along with lots of pictures which provide additional visual aides–and frankly, while I’ve found MOST of the information you can get free from those gamer sites is accurate, not ALL of it is, so if you use them as an alternative, just keep that in mind. You might also want to refer to 2 or more sources.
If you still find yourself stuck at a particular point in a game even after reading all the information on those gamer sites? Then you can go to “youtube” and type in the game and battle or spot you’re having a problem with and watch the actual “gameplay” other people have posted there showing how they beat it!
