Posted September 30, 2006 On the Nintendo fusion tour and apparently the Wii units at the conferences, the blue light wasnt on apparently. Im looking into it now.. EDIT: Looked at conference pictures, light is on. Fusion tour however... Doesnt look very promising, but the picture is taken from a slight distance. http://www.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/10420/ Watch the video's, none of the wii lights are on. Thoughts?

Posted September 30, 2006 i'm sure you can switch it on or off. It would be annoying otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2006 Ah good point, but usually they've kept it on when ever, I think its kinda strange that it isnt on at the Fusion tour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2006 If the games still run on updated gamecube devkits the wii is just an empty shell and for some reason the wiis might not be plugged in. I don't know, it seems a bit too stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2006 They're still keeping the holographics projection a secret, so it needs to be turned off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2006 All the advertisements say different. They are probably just turned off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 1, 2006 no blue light id say.i woulnt be able to sleep and i dont wanty to plug it out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2006 You've got keen eyesight young man. Personally I wouldn't like having the light on all the time, would be fine if it's just when loading a disk. The coolness of the wiimote overshadows a little blue light anyway so who would notice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2006 I expect it was off just to save some electricity or something. Or maybe it was too light so those pics you cant realy see the light. I think all the pics we've seen before were in the dark so the light was vivid. I'm not bothered if there will be an option to turn it off or not. I'd love to keep it on. It would be great if it flashed, like the 360 circle thing when a disc was being put into he slot, or was loading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2006 I asked Nintendo when they asked for feedback at TGS 2005 from gamers to makes the light red and ripple when it is loading like the 360's indicator lights. Then blue when it is playing. Doubt it was implemented though. I like it, all design needs a focal point, Apple has the click wheel.. Wii has the LEDs.

Posted October 1, 2006 They haven't removed it. It's even on the official box, all adds, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2006 Maybe the led is only on when starting the console? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2006 LEDs are low energy, there would be no point turning it off. It hasn't gone anywhere.. as a photographer my experience would tell me the exposure of the camera just didn't pick up the narrow blue lights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2006 Or maybe the led is only on when no disk is inserted? Kind of asking you to feed it :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2006 Im sticking with blender's idea, that you can turn it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2006 Yeah I think it's turned off. Wii boxing looks like a lot of fun, just look at the first vid on that link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
