The nintendo wii media and information thread!
i thought i would start a thread off posting information about the wii and any pictures or videos that are relavent!
this link shows the opening of packaging and better screenshots of the system
http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/w...s-on-unboxing/
below are the four gamecube ports, and two memory card slots, thats for the previous gen games
watch the 11/09/06 edition of 'on the spot' where you can see the wii and a small selection of games including the ever impressive zelda series, its hilarious to see the yanks have trouble with that particular game

Re: The nintendo wii media and information thread!
With the Wii the specs do not really matter. The control is pretty different to start with let alone the Nintendo Games. No one will be playing Wii for the graphics, its the control and games.

Re: The nintendo wii media and information thread!
Nintendo never try to go for most powerful console. They like to try something different and original that will be fun, and that will not cost people too much money.
I personally can't wait to have a go on one.

Re: The nintendo wii media and information thread!
Just read the review of Call of Duty 3, and saw that there's no multiplayer mode on the Wii. What a disappointment!
If anyone's interested, they've got a video of CoD3 in the ONM's Video Vault [officialnintendomagazine.co.uk]. The password for Dec is ILoveWii

Re: The nintendo wii media and information thread!
No multiplayer?! That's very disappointing, may re-think about getting cod3 on launch now and get something else.

Re: The nintendo wii media and information thread!
Cheers for that Gareth.
No multiplayer, very dissappointing. Probably wouldn't stop me buying a Wii, ultimately, but quite probably COD3.
Its a shame really, because Far Cry's multiplayer was pants.

Re: The nintendo wii media and information thread!

...gonna get something else other than CoD3, but not sure what yet. Red Steel looks OK, so might get that instead.

Shouldn't have to wait long... Already all 3 have a couple of Linux projects in the offering.
