Forums - Nintendo - Very impressed with Wii online

Nevermind, I realize I'm probably coming across as being rude and bashing and that's not my intention so I'm going to keep out of this thread now and ignore the Nintendo forum from now on.

Wii internet channel is great because of no viruses. I can let my niece and nephew browse the net whenever they want and when they're done, I don't have to worry about cleaning out my computer. With the zooming feature, resolution is not a problem even on my SDTV.  Only thing missing is that some flash heavy sites still break opera...

I got it just today and am loving it, the News and Weather Channels blew me away. Youtube is great on the Plasma, They done a nice job of it if you ask me, however I am typing this with the Wii-mote and it's quite painfull! Someone send me a message ;) I have no online Wii buddies yet. Wii number: 7252 3311 9729 2058

 Enjoy the Wii. I would give you some more encouragement, but I'm not very fond of mine. It's really cool at first, but on a 40inch HDTV that you use as a computer monitor, when you plug the Wii up to it... It just looks... uhhh... Idunno how to say it... but it looks... unaccptable.

Hell... the PS3 dont look as good as my PC on my TV... heh... 


Why insult the wii's graphics on a post about it's online capabilities?? 

For the record, I am running my wii on a 110 inch HD projection screen and it looks just fine. Granted, not as sharp as my hd tv channels or PC games, but the wii games I have actually look very good. I guess that DVD's must look 'unnacceptable' to you also, since they are not only 480p, but compressed as well. SD TV channels are obviously WAY below your impeccable standards also. Maybe you should get the wii component cables and sit more than 6 inches from the screen.

I'm not saying that the 360, PS3, or any other system isn't worthwhile if you like the games on that specific machine; just accept that none of these stable platforms are top-of-the-line for many days past its release date.

 


Well, this isn't quite accurate for this generation of hardware. Both the 360 and the PS3 have massive amounts of raw processing power, they're still a couple of years ahead of what top-end PCs deliver -- the raw clock speeds of the latter don't translate into the graphical prowess of the former, the new consoles really are monsters. This wasn't true for the last gen - the Gamecube, PS2, Xbox fell behind PCs by 2002.

The genius of the Wii, of course, is that all this is irrelevant. Nintendo applied their technological savvy not to processing power, but to the other things which make gaming great - terrific controls, seamless interfaces, compact design.

What the hell happened to my thread!?

All I was saying was I thought the spinning Globe was nifty and watching youtube on TV is fun, I didn't expect all hell to break loose.

I stated that Nintendo did online quite well for a first time, geez, I was never comparing it to anything else.



I got foxtel to watch news and weather. PS3 has a medical planet channel called F@H :D j/k



  Unleash The Beast!  

End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil

LMAO. And even one of the mods was planning to ban you as a troll. :) Maybe it would have worked better if your post would have been flaming and trolling? But true, you just wrote that you like Wiis online, nothing else. A bit the same thing if you had wrote that you like Wiis graphics (actually, i do), and people would have started "360:s and PS3:s are better". Lol.

Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

I can't understand why a Mod would assume to ban me just from my title? WTF?
