Posted July 21, 2006 We know the Wii is small. Smaller than cube, About the size of a unfolded DS. Close to E3 there where some rumors about the Stand Being a powersuply, And I'm sure those where false. BUT... I'm 100% sure that a third party powersuply will come shortly after the Wii launch. And a screen that you fold on top the Wii. GC battery So the Wii will become the Portable sooner or later But not officialy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2006 Yes, it will be portable. In a sense. But, it's hugely impractical! Remember the controller? Imagine playing a game like Red Steel on the go, i don't think that type of thing works. And, what would happen with regards to the sensor bar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2006 Hmm its possible but Fierce makes a very good point about the sensor, i think the top of the wii designed screens will have space to attach the sensor bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2006 Even if it's not good for Wii games you don't need the sensor for the VC and GC games so it wouldn't be too bad as a portable console. Imagine you have to wait for your flight and you get a Wii out of your bag and start playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2006 Actually, konfucius put an idea into my head, screw playing wii games on the move, VC would be excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2006 i think the top of the wii designed screens will have space to attach the sensor bar. The more Expensive screens can have the sensor built inn under/over the screen. If you look at the other portable screens it wound't be that hard to make room for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2006 The sensor bar may as well be built-into the screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2006 It would make a quite good portable dvd player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2006 I'm not entirely sure about a portable Wii. Imagine playing it on a bus, you'd keep hitting the person next to you! VC isn't such a bad idea though... But I think Nintendo will stick to SD cards playing VC games on the DS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2006 I don't see it as portable like the DS, but more of portable as in easy to carry around. Kind of like the GameCube with its quirky handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine playing a game like Red Steel on the go, i don't think that type of thing works. And, what would happen with regards to the sensor bar? The sensory bar will be no issue, as it can be built into the screen. It'll be even more practical than on a regular TV... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2006 It would be useful for a portable DVD player, and for VC/GameCube/Games that don't utilise the Wiimote (smash bros brawl on a train, anyone?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
