DiemetriX Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 "The official UK Nintendo mag states that the Wii will output not only in 720i but also 720p. This is not known to be true and could well just be an error, on the other hand it might be damn right and that would be great" Source: http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=11475 *UPDATE* It was a simple typo, clearly it was meant to say 480i and 480p, as should be clear by the fact it goes on about your TV’s standard resolution.
Nintendork Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Only when you plug in the stand as a power supply. I can't believe people read that shit anymore.
DiemetriX Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 "From the magazine's Wii Launch feature: "At the time of going to print, Wii games will output in 720i and 720p — 720i is your standard TV picture, 720p is a higher-quality signal ..." Last time I checked, 480i was a standard TV picture and 720i technically doesn't exist." From: http://www.infendo.com/2006/11/wii-is-720p-or-onm-is-wrong-again.html So ONM is wrong AGAIN.
Nintendork Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 It's not rare to see typos.. i saw an amusing one in EDGE the other day talking about a female gamer as "he" when it clearly should've been "she". National newspapers do it all the time too to meet deadlines. What never happens is the typos of important numbers and statistics.. and that is what ONM has done here. It should've stuck out like a saw thumb in a proof read.
BGS Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Yeah, it's definitely a mistake. One of the mods in the NOM forums even said so. It's getting crazy how many (quite major) fuck ups this (official!?) magazine has had in such a relatively small timeframe. From the whole resi exclusive thing to the Wii's base being a power unit and now to this. The whole internet game community is really seeing this magazine in a bad, bad light and in turn, probably Nintendo UK seen as though it's the official magazine. And yeah, as Nintendork said, they really should have people proof reading shit like this, especially on such key issues.
Zechs Merquise Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Well magazines are always gonna get the odd thing wrong.
dabookerman Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 this is neck breaking How did they accidentally mistake 720p for 480p ONM are bullshit, all they want to do is create hyperbole and then they complain when people call them a shit magazine. I mean for christs sake, they never get any exclusives, even spanish and mexican magazines get exclusives. No they want to make shit up. Mistake my ass.
