Posted November 8, 2006 I forgot about this. Sorry but, this makes no sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2006 About the memory cards, well, I THINK you don't need one to save GC games. But you'll need one to access your already saved games on the Cube. But I reckon you can have new saves on the Wii memory, just like the VC games and Wii saves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 8, 2006 Has this been posted yet? http://www.cubed3.com/news/6277/1/Wii_Can_Text_Easily Wii Can Text Easily Zi Corporation has revealed it has signed a deal with Nintendo for work on the Wii. The provider of intelligent interface solutions was previously used to give developers sufficient support for including hand-writing recognition in Nintendo DS games. Now the company is teaming up again with Nintendo to have its eZiText predictive text input technology smoothly integrated into the Wii hardware. This means that owners will be able to use the system's features, such as the messageboard, much more easily. Milos Djokovic, President and CEO of Zi, was on-hand to state the following: "Nintendo is a worldwide leader in video game systems and has a reputation for bringing innovative technology to the market. By embedding eZiText in Wii, Nintendo is empowering its customer with a more user friendly method for text input. "This announcement heralds the future use of eZiText outside of conventional mobile usage. The global gaming industry has become a worldwide phenomenon and is becoming an important new avenue for the distribution of our products. As such, we will continue to progressively pursue new gaming customers." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2006 I heard they were working about Nintendo but I never really read into it.Good to see some sort of support though,should be handy for the message board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No Classic controller for me then i suppose. Yes, it was confirmed the other day. WaveBirds are compatible too I think. Has this been posted yet? http://www.cubed3.com/news/6277/1/Wii_Can_Text_Easily That's good news, I suppose this will be used to send text messages to mobiles aswell.

Posted November 8, 2006 Put this in the Eu pre-order thread but thought i'd put it in here. Amazon.com are finalising their pre-order plans so maybe .co.uk will be soon aswellLink.Also apparently Japan are getting 400,000 Wii units for launch.Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2006 That doesn't make a lot of sense. 4 million worldwide, 400,00 for Japan, with EU supposedly getting the smaller slice, USA would get at least 3.2 million. That can't be right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2006 Nintendo have updated the Virtual Console page to include the TurboGraphx/PC Engine console. This was previous left off and people thought we wouldn't get it, so this is further confirmation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 9, 2006 Those figures are pretty low for Eu and Jap.You'd think with this demand that they might increase the shipments a bit.We need confirmation,as Fierce said,do you have a link? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 9, 2006 yeah i think these figures are quite low... surely Nintendo realise with the PS3 out of action in europe till march, they need to flood europe with consoles so atleast give us a million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
