Forums - Nintendo - Why can't Nintendo tell the time.

Wow, what a coincidence. I haven't had to change my wii's clock since I got it on launch night!

Wait, that's not a coincidence!



Around the Network

All three of my wife and my DS Lites, and my little brother's DS Phat that I bought him, have been perfect in telling time. I've never had to reset them, and we got our first two DS's six months before the Wii came out.

Our Wii is a different story. That clock is absurd.

Just one minute ahead of my laptop and my DS is spot on... haven't noticed anything...



You think that's bad? My PS2 frequently gets about an hour off of the correct time each month. Nintendo hardware being only 5 minutes off per month is peanuts compared to that.



Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.

I checked the tome on my Wii because of this thread and noticed that it was 2 minutes ahead of the real time... And I've had my Wii for about 3 months now

It does run fast. I thought that it was just me. I guess that the reason that Nintendo can't tell the time is because they are Japanese and not Swiss. The Swiss invented the clock and because of them I can't sleep all day and have to work. *shakes fist at the Swiss*

Fullfilled Prophecies

Some Electric clocks are supposed to go too fast. If the electricity gets shut in the house, the clock stops, and the average time out for a house is ~ 20 minutes (in Norway anyway), so some clocks go 10 minutes fast to comentiate for this.

I really hope everyone understands this isn't true.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Why can only Nintendo tell the time?



It's time its self, not nintendos problem. Nintendo got it right, as usual, but time is just teasing us! a ps3 being out by an hour, now thats criminal sony! not even time would play tricks on us like that
