VIDEO Revolution Is My Game: The Nintendo Wii Discussion

They finished like five minutes ago after raising $81,000. Insane.

 

I know the point is to stretch it out as long as possible so people will donate, but for my money, I wanted to see some cool stuff, but they died A LOT, and at one time, the only guy that knew what he was doing had to take a phone call, and there were three other people in the room and NOT ONE of them knew how to play Mario 64. Very frustrating to watch most of the time, but I'm glad they raised so much for charity.

I did like the multiple webcams and the whole website was set up very well.

 

Geez, I thought it was more than long enough to begin with. A quick search on Google got me this 18-footer, but if that's too long here's a six-foot extension cable.

 

Get a wireless one. There's also the supersized one at Best Buy, wireless and longer range.

 

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy for less than $70? Why did Nintendo stop production on it?

Maybe they discontiuned them because maybe Nintendo plans to bring the Japan ones to the US and sell them separately, but that's just a shot in the dark...

Thanks!

 

I need some Wii help.

Recently my Wii has been acting very strangely. The picture on my tv screen will randomly flicker and then fail completely. I get a 'No Signal' on my TV screen at that point. Sometimes it would correct itself, I guess, and turn itself back on but now it seems to not want to come back at all. I have a 22" Insignia LED HDTV but I have component cables (the brand is Rocketfish) and it used to work just fine. It only started doing this recently when I finally got around to getting wireless internet for my place. Really, that's the only thing that's different from before. Has anyone experienced this? Is there some setting I need to change on my TV? Any help would be appreciated.

 

So I still don't have a Wii and I'm kind of happy because this new red one that just came out looks sexy as hell. ME WANT!

A bit early to talk about Wii2?

And with the new PS3 motion controller and the Kennect for the 360, we're really hitting the seventh And A Half generation. So I don't see any of these companies needing to annouce the Eighth generation consoles. And Apple will only release a .5 version every year for their hardware - whatever it may be. Apple wouldn't think in terms of generations.

Guess they didn't see a 3D market for the Wii then. As the PS3 can do it now though, I guess 3D will come on though next gen for the consoles.

 

Not sure what will be the Wii's next big move once zelda is out, an upgraded console would be a good place to start the next set of major releases. I can see a Wii 2 being revealed by E3 2012, but this year they'll focus mainly on the 3DS and Zelda.

 

That's awesome!

 

They could release Yoshi Safari on the Virtural Console or remake it for the WiiWare. That was something of a first person Mario game... riding Yoshi.

 

Whoa... I wonder how much planning and preparation went into that.
