looking forward to SBCG4AP, wonder how much space they will consume on the wii if you get all the episodes

Those videos complain that I don't have the latest version of flash player.
Is there really something in them that requires the latest version? They are just video right? |

SBCG4AP is going to be very interesting. H*R has been around for years so a little hard to believe that it hasn't come up even in passing but whatever, the humour is right and with what TTG has done I think they're the right people to tackle something as oddball as the Homestar Runner universe (and if they don't abuse the running gag about how Strong Bad types with boxing gloves I will be disappointed!).
What bothers me though is space. And if the Wiiware is good, will that inspire an improvement in the Virtual Console content or kill it off? Questions, questions.. |

Anyone who buys that Final Fantasy game is a chump.. I've never seen such a blatent attempt to rip people off.
The only Wiiware game I'm particularly interested in is the Pokemon one, because we can finally get Mew, without having to fly half way across the planet :) |

I also only get an image with a play symbol over it... am I supposed to update something? EGTV link to video works fine though.
EDIT, Just discovered the bit you click to make them work is not over the image as you'd expect, but on the top of the video... maybe it's my browser.

in the same way that we're often compelled to pop bubble wrap while waiting for 360 and PS3 games to install
360 games don't install. Joke fails. :) Some of these games look interesting. Lost Winds, Pop, and that Goo one in particular. |

Again, is there any reason to require the latest flash player for video?
Being stuck with an older version at work is beyond my control and requiring 9.0.45 for video is kinda overkill huh? |

i like the look of lost winds and world of goo, i'll most probably be buying those but like Darren mentioned i'm also out of space on my Wii. here's hoping Nintendo announce storing and running games from the SD card or some other solution soon. it is already a problem for me and is obviously going to get much worse as time goes on, i love download content.

Sorry fellas, we use a video codec that requires a recent version of the Flash plugin as do all the videos on EGTV. The quality of the video vs the bandwidth required is so favourable for the newer codec that it really made sense to adopt it as soon as possible. Apologies to all those stuck on older versions! |

A button to make the vids bigger would be nice...
You can double click to fullscreen, same as the player on EGTV |

@sharpkiddie 'Apologies to all those stuck on older versions!'
Cheers for the explanation, it makes sense. Having just checked my browser, it is equiped with an early version of flash 9.0 (not the latest version). Shame that the vids wont work with anything but the latest plugin :( |

Aw man, I love HSR, but I do worry about this. I hate it when 2d stuff gets "3d-ified". See also The Simpsons

@WinterSnowblind
I'd be with you on the Pokemon game. That is to say I would be if it weren't for the fact that I lost interest in Pokemon a few years ago because of the fact that Nintendo insist on blocking off certain monsters for people who attend one off events that they never run here anyway. I completed the Ruby/Sapphire Pokedex and after the sense of despair that came with obtaining the national Pokedex I didn't see the point in going any further with the series. |
