007 Agent Under Fire
Well I have been asked to help with all the "Bond Moves" on this explosive game, but that would take up too much of this feature, so I am going to give you a few tips on how to spot and find all the "Bond Moves".
Requested by: Vivienne Simpson
First of all thoroughly check your surroundings and examine everything. If there are two ways to get into a building, like on the first level, go in by them both. Secondly make sure you look around above you in the area, like on the first level where you can shoot the rope to release crate. Also you must use you Q gadgets to find a lot of the Bond Moves, so again check your surroundings to use your Q-claw, Q remote or Q Laser. Another point is to use stealth to your advantage, for example, on the first level to get the Armoury you must sneak behind the first guard once in the building and punch him from behind. There are also some other Bond Moves such as on the last level using the zip line between the sniper towers.
Good luck searching.
ISS2
This is, in my opinion, the best Football game on the Gamecube at the moment, but I'm sure some of you will beg to differ. One football fan has heard that there are 11 secret teams on the game and another can't figure out how to head the ball.
Requested by: Gregor Carpenter, RUFFRYDERUK.
I had to play this game again before writing up the answer to this question as I didn't really know how I, or well my players headed the ball. I took a lot of experimenting to find out and eventually did. To head the ball when not attacking or in the "cross zone" you have to double tap the "A" button or alternatively press the "B" button. When in the "cross zone" to head the ball simply tap the "B" button. When a ball has been crossed in from an attack or a corner I just repeatedly tap the "B" button to make sure I head the ball.
Now to the point concerning ISS2 having 11 secret teams. I have searched the Internet high and low and in every corner possible and could not find anything about any hidden teams, let alone 11 of them. I personally think that there will be at least 1 secret team which will have full statistics and will more than likely be unlock by completing all the Cups and Leagues on the hardest difficulty, "Hard Real".
Wavebird Controller
Requested by: Nick Folber, David Harding, Richard J
I have received a few emails regarding the "Wavebird" wireless controller, and whether or not an imported one will work on a PAL Gamecube, and when is it being released in Europe. Well, yes an imported controller will work on PAL Gamecube as they have no "Region Lock". This also means that if anyone is thinking of importing a Japanese Spice controller it will also work on a PAL Gamecube.
There has been no confirmed date for the Wavebird controller to hit European stores but my guess is that it will be sometime in August.
USA/PAL Memory Card compatability
I have also received a few emails regarding the USA/PAL memory card compatibility. Last week I posted that you can use an American memory card on PAL Gamecube, but first it needs to be reformatted. This is the information I was informed, but a few people sent emails saying that this is not the case and they have both American and PAL Gamecubes (God knows why!!) and have both American and PAL game files saved on one memory card.
So as a conclusion to this I would say that an import memory card will work on PAL Gamecube, but I am uncertain whether or not it will save both American and PAL game files on it.
Gamecube-TV Connection
Requested by: Richyrichdollars
Now Richy wants to know what is the best way to connect his Gamecube to his new 21" Panasonic TV. Well there are several ways to connect your Gamecube to your TV. First of all there is the audio/video cable and SCART adapter which comes with your Gamecube when you buy it. This can be slotted in the back of your TV or a VCR. On the other hand you could spend a bit of cash and invest in an RGB SCART cable, which will give a higher quality picture. But as you have a more fancy TV you may want to buy an S-Video cable which provides a crystal sharp picture.
Luigi's Mansion
I was rather surprised to find an email in my inbox regarding Luigi's Mansion, as I found this game so easy, but nether the less I will help.
Requested by: Peter Space
Peter is stuck on the Level 2 Boss in the areas behind the graveyard. The Shadow Boss.
The shadow you are trying to defeat is the purple shadow, all the others are just clones which cause you a load of grief. The think to do is suck up a black shadow with your vacuum cleaner so it forms a black ball and let it go at the purple shadow. Once you have done that the purple shadow is vulnerable to attack, so quickly suck it up. If the purple shadow escapes the first time, repeat the above again and you will defeat the Boss with no trouble.
