Darth Groovy Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I am typing this from my wii. THIS thing is way too cool!
Darth Groovy Posted December 30, 2006 Author Posted December 30, 2006 what did you name it, groovy? "wiibee" I LOVE it!
Datheus Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I named mine ED-209. I'd be typing this from my Wii, but I have no Wifi.
BongoBob Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Same here Glad you're liking it grooves. What's your friend code? Post it in the thread EDIT: Dur hur hur, nevermind, I's a retard
Darth Groovy Posted December 30, 2006 Author Posted December 30, 2006 I named mine ED-209. I'd be typing this from my Wii, but I have no Wifi. You can't really type. You just kind of point and click on letters/numbers. Kinda cramps up your arm. Oh well. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Commander Obi-Wan Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I'd be typing this from my Wii, but I have no Wifi. Same here, too. I hope I can get the other LAN adapter in January.
Lynk Former Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 @ Groov: I've gotten really good at typing with the Wiimote actually XD @ vaderrocksf: Well yes... obviously. I mean a PC has a keyboard XD @ Datheus + Ray: I have WiFi my Wii is connected 24/7
swphreak Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I gave my cousin's Wii a go when he brought it with him to the ski resort. It's pretty nifty. I especially liked Wii Sports, but I still don't know about other games. The Wiimote seems like too much of a gimmick to me. Perhaps when the price drops to $150, I'll pick one up.
Lynk Former Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 LOL. Gimmick. I laugh when I hear that now since no one says it anymore... well no one except Phreak...
Tyrion Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I laugh when I hear that now since no one says it anymore... well no one except Phreak... That comment had absolutely no effect on Phreak's reputation because it was deflected by the ever so awesome Dr. Cox.
Lynk Former Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Who said anything about doing anything to Phreak's reputation? All I was saying was that very few people have that opinion now that they've actually had the chance to play it. The only thing people are complaining about now is the overall lack of hardware power.

Lack of hardware power as in what? Graphics? I don't really get that at all. Honestly, for $250, i'm rather impressed at what the machine can do. I also have to give mad props to Nintendo for making this machine so rediculously easy to set up and use right out of the box. And last night I became absolutely lost in just the Virtual Console alone. Nevermind the other Wii games I got for Christmas that I have not opened yet. I finally got a couple of days off, and now I shall spend some quality time on the Wii. My only gripe so far, is the annoying menu noises, and adding contacts is NOT a fun process at all. They should have made that a little bit easier. Oh well. Pretty minor stuff IMO. Whatever... Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!

All I was saying was that very few people have that opinion now that they've actually had the chance to play it. The only thing people are complaining about now is the overall lack of hardware power. To tell you the truth, that was less a defense of Phreak's reputation(pfft!) than it was a total celebration of everything good in life, and such is Scrubs. As to the actual topic, the Wii's last of hardware power really isn't that much of a problem. It's not meant to duel out the other two consoles in graphics competitions; I think Nintendo would much rather focus on the gameplay and for that I applaud them.
Lynk Former Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I get why people don't like Wii for its lack of hardware power and we all know that on a graphical level, Wii is lacking and yes (@ Tyrion) Nintendo isn't focusing on that side of things with Wii, but that wasn't my point. My point was that if people had a complaint about Wii, that's the one people speak of with the loudest voice. On a personal level, I think Wii has enough graphical power, it's just upto developers to spend time perfecting their games on a visual level to make them look as nice as Resident Evil 4 and Twilight Princess. And I don't mean that on a purely graphical level either, I'm talking artstyle and animation and all the little things that make a game look so good.
IG-64 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 And remember, a lot of graphics juice can still be squeezed out of Wii. Hardware-wise, it's twice as powerful as gamecube (last I heard). If that means anywhere near twice as nice as, say, Resident Evil 4, that's dang good.
Lynk Former Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah it is "twice as powerful" as the GCN, but like I said, it depends on how much time a developer wants to put into making their games look as good as RE4 and TP.
swphreak Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 LOL. Gimmick. I laugh when I hear that now since no one says it anymore... well no one except Phreak... Well, don't know what else to call it. Oooh, you shake the controller and the character moves. I'll stick with the standard controller. I just wish they'd port Super Smash Bros Brawl to the GameCube.
Mike Windu Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Well, don't know what else to call it. Oooh, you shake the controller and the character moves. I'll stick with the standard controller. I just wish they'd port Super Smash Bros Brawl to the GameCube. I wish Brawl was out now.. >_> And Scrubs is amazing.
jebbers Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 And Scrubs is amazing. Q.F.E. that it is...im looking for season 1 on dvd but i cant find it. i can find 2 and 3

I have always wanted to play that game. Always. So now that I have a Wii, all I need is a copy of the the game, a Gamecube Controller, and a Gamecube Memory card. Correct?
Acrylic Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Speaking of Resident Evil 4... I have always wanted to play that game. Always. So now that I have a Wii, all I need is a copy of the the game, a Gamecube Controller, and a Gamecube Memory card. Correct? Yeah. I think you can play Gamecube games with the Classic controller too, if I'm not mistaken. But I probably am mistaken.
Datheus Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 They had lots of season 1 at my Best Buy. Typing on the Wii is very slow. Just like anything with no keyboard. Auto complete helps, though. I'm typing this on my Wii right now using my girlfriend's wireless. A patch adding support for USB keyboards would be a good idea.
Datheus Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Yeah. I think you can play Gamecube games with the Classic controller too, if I'm not mistaken. But I probably am mistaken. why bother? they're $20. a GCN controller is $10 from EB.
