How much are Wii saves anyway? And as for the SD card write thing... gee that sucks. Oh well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Was watching midday news today...
"And in America, lines like these were present during the launch of the new Nintendo Wii which plays with a new type of control... ARM MOVEMENTS *shows Nintendo Power Glove worn by Nintendo fanboy lining up for Wii*

"However, the PS3, which has more features and better graphics... *2 minutes more about PS3*"

Looks like Nintendo still ain't getting the respect here... -_-' AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN GET AN ACCURATE NEWS STORY! Ps3, sure, cool. But that was shoddy journalism at best.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Concerning online, I don't really care much for the delay... that is unless it affects Smash Bros. Brawl!

But yeh, that's right. Nintendo should've gotten it right from the start. Aren't they using a similar online system to the DS? Or doesn't it work that way?

I was speaking idiomatically.

One question: Aren't there plans for releasing third party sensor bars?

Disaster. While vacuuming the house, my girlfriend's mum sucked up the sensor bar cord and caused the sensor bar to crash, taking the black casing off the right side of the bar. It still works fine, actually, but looking at the sensor bar with a bit of sticky tape leaves a lot to be desired...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

OMG I'm having so much fun with the Weather Channel. No more switching to TV when my mum wants to know the weather! (The South Pole only -17 celsius? Global Warming!)

Speaking of the internet, will they be able to use usb keyboards? What if I want to write a long journal entry ;_;?

FELIPE NO

The final version of the Opera browser will be available at the end of March 2007, and will be free for all Wii owners to download through the end of June 2007. After June, users who haven’t already downloaded the Opera browser can go to the Wii Shop Channel to download it for 500 Wii Points.

That's alright. A try before you buy thing always clicks with me. Hopefully it isn't as broken as the DS browser. 22nd December here we come!

The one coming out on Friday is really just a trial version. The official browser will be coming out March for free, then 500 Wii Points after June, therefore making this Friday's release a trial thing really.

I'm still hanging out for a Wii keyboard. What about long posts -_-??!

EDIT: OH I GET IT NOW Starman... my bad -_-'

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, if they can't release anything in that time they COULD try to release some games utilising the Mii characters. Something quick and simple, but great for multiplaying frenzy.

We can't keep playing Zelda, Wii Sports, Trauma Centre (among others) until Q4 2007 can we?

Wrong thread, bud:

Anyways, has anyone (in NZ or AUS) been able to download the beta version of Opera yet? Or do we have to wait until America gets to Friday?

Can't wait to see how internet works on Wii.

Oh great, I just updated my cousin's Wii this afternoon. Woopee.
Hopefully this will get rid of the Opera "black borders" I've been getting, as well as the weird ass problem of having to reset the Wii Shop Channel twice.

Hmm if my BROTHER HADN'T GONE OVER OUR 12GB LIMIT AND CAPPED OUR INTERNET SPEED, I would've been hopping on the news channel, thus eliminating mum's criticism of us playing too much games and not being aware of the world around us. Ha!

Although the Weather Channel isn't regularly updated, I've find myself using it a hell of a lot. Not only that, spinning the globe is strangely addictive...

So is there a worldwide shortage of Wii Points cards or what? I went around shops today, starting at my local gamestore which usually had an awesome selection of rare games, as well as import games. No, the Wii Points of Aussie-ralia could only be bought in EB. So I go to EB and I ask the female employee there and at first, she reacts as if she doesn't know what it is.

"Er... Sorry mate there's like a worldwide shortage of points and stuff. Sorry!"

And then I go around to other EB stores and none of them have it! GAY! WHY EB ONLY! I go on Nintendo.com.au and THERE THEY ARE POLLING ABOUT VIRTUAL CONSOLE GAMES: HAVE YOU GOT THEM! Goddamnit.

Or I could use credit card... but I don't have one. Shame.

Anyone having a hard time finding Wii Point cards?
