Cube Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It's possibly just there so they can keep the same box when they change the Wii Sports pack to a different game (hence why the "includes Wii Sports" is just a sticker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan77 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Is there any truth/confirmation in the idea that the wii can connect wirelessly with other wiis? Like DS wireless play (I'm not talking about WiFi)? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackster Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I remember a while ago some people were worried that the blue light seemed to have disappeared, but if you look at this video you can see it a little bit when he turns the Wii round near the beginning. http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/11/wii-setup-and-interface-walkthrough-video/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraser Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 You are wrong. Well... are u sure? because i didn't see the light all time time on! I only saw it when you turned on the console and then desapered again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indie James Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Well... are u sure? because i didn't see the light all time time on! I only saw it when you turned on the console and then desapered again I watched parts of the Wii Marathon show on Gamespot yesterday and the blue light came on when the Wii was turned on, but went off after a couple of seconds. It didn't appear to come on at all after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraser Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 That's what i said! And that is what is worrying me! I just hope it should be an option or at least an firmware update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellyn Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 This may be an odd question but: can you insert discs into the console when its on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 This may be an odd question but: can you insert discs into the console when its on? Well, you can't do it while it's off. (You do mean the console right?) I watched parts of the Wii Marathon show on Gamespot yesterday and the blue light came on when the Wii was turned on, but went off after a couple of seconds. It didn't appear to come on at all after that. It comes on when you put a disc in, then stays on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 This may be an odd question but: can you insert discs into the console when its on? Yea I seen it in a video where someone put a disc in when the Wii was at the Channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 You can't put disks into it while its off because it wont 'grab' them. (You'll need a slot-loading drive to know what I mean by 'grab') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indie James Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Well, you can't do it while it's off. (You do mean the console right?) It comes on when you put a disc in, then stays on. Well from what I saw it didn't and it didn't come back on. But i'll check again when i've got some spare time. But I don't see how it matters much whether it stays on or not.

Guest Stefkov Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I think that there must be an option to turn the light on and off, and an opion for when it should light up. when Wii turned on without disk in Wii turned on with disk in As you can see, when the Wii is turned on the Light flashes. However when the game is playing he light isnt on. I'm thinking there is an option in the seup menu thing on the console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraser Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Well, i'm not sure, but what if seen so far with the interface i didn't see any kind of that option. Althought that doesn't mean nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The most important thing: the LEDs are in place. Wich means they're not gone. Duh. I hope you can turn them on and off (mine would be always on), too. It going to be a nice startup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Wii "systems and settings" manual "Up to 100 Miis can stay in your Mii Plaza." (pg. 11) "The Photo Channel can display a maximum of approximately 1,000 photos. If your SD card has more than 1,000 photos, remove the card from the Wii console and remove or reorganize your photos in your camera, cell phone or computer." (pg. 15) "You can not save or overwrite photos or videos on the SD card." (pg. 20) "Any of the options in Fun! mode [doodles, etc. -Ed.] can be applied to individual frames of a video." (pg. 21) The photo channel supports JPGs of up to 8192x8192 resolution and QuickTime files of up to 848x480. (pg. 22) MP3 audio is listed under supported formats. After quite a bit of searching, we figured out how this feature works, but we didn't like what we found (more later.) "NOTE: Your use of the Wii Shop Channel is subject to your acceptance of the Wii Users Agreement, the Wii Privacy Policy and the Wii Code of Conduct. Copies of the most updated versions of these agreements may be found at support.nintendo.com. [not yet - Ed.]" (pg. 24) "NOTE: Some Virtual Console games can only be played with a Classic Controller. (sold separately) [this seems to contradict previous confirmation that Gamecube controllers would work on all Virtual Console games -Ed.]" (pg. 25) "Software downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel is licensed to you, not sold" (pg. 25) "NOTE: The calendar displays dates from January 2000 to December 2035." (pg. 31) "NOTE: You will not be able to send photos from your Wii console to the PC/cell phone user." (pg. 36) "NOTE: The Wii console uses a 24 hour clock. For example, 1:00 pm is displayed as 13:00 pm" (pg. 42) The parental control features "does NOT control access to Nintendo GameCube games" (pg. 46) "If you use the messaging features of the Wii console, you need to understand that Nintendo may monitor your use and share certain information (i) as required by law, (ii) where necessary to protect the company, its customers or its employees, (iii) as necessary to provide the services. [big Brother is watching -Ed.]" (pg. 47) "NOTE: The initial recommended distance for using the Wii Remote Pointer is 3 to 8 feet from the sensor bar ... Also note that the influence of direct sunlight and various light sources can make the Pointer operation less optimal. [Oh really... -Ed.]" (pg. 50) By formatting the Wii Shop Channel from the Wii's system menu, you clear all "records of your transactions and rights to download software." (pg. 61) "NOTE: You should format your Wii Shop Channel data first, then your Wii System Memory, prior to selling or otherwise transferring your Wii console to any third party." (pg. 61) "NOTE: Adjusting the speaker and Rumble settings will affect all Wii remotes currently connected to the Wii console. Thatblogsite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazzahdrane Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Wii "systems and settings" manual By formatting the Wii Shop Channel from the Wii's system menu, you clear all "records of your transactions and rights to download software." (pg. 61) "NOTE: You should format your Wii Shop Channel data first, then your Wii System Memory, prior to selling or otherwise transferring your Wii console to any third party." (pg. 61) Hmmmmm.....this would suggest that your Wii Shop Channel purchases (VC games etc) are linked to your Wii, not some online Wii account. What does this mean if your Wii breaks down or is stolen? If you buy another Wii will you need to buy all your VC games again? Logic would dictate no.... Could be good for 2nd hand buyers, buy a Wii and get a whole load of VC games already on it. However, if you can't re-download your VC games on another Wii console then that is totally ridiculous.
