[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread


Recommended Posts

the problem is that he doesnt want to see that nintendo is offering more than the availability of their older games for download. the online service will likely be far more fleshed out than a simple download service. go watch xbox movies until more info about the console is released, stop getting down on nintendo when you don't know what they've got in the works.

Im quite capable of seeing what Nintendo has to offer, or lack of. They are falling behind so they copy what everyone else is doing, just because ive got an xbox sig doesnt mean im a fanboy, i didnt really care for xbox 1 but i love what Microsoft is cooking up.

the console will be able to play all nintendo (most) according to engadget. Errr???

How many people actually have their old nintendo 64 games?

This thing will sink faster than the titanic.

You download games for free that aren't cube or revolutions peoples. They specifically said in the conference "Most of the games will be available for download, even new games will be available, but for a price"

Meaning that Pre-Cube is free. Now quit complaining. You can just buy this console and never buy a game ever because you'll have enough games to last you the rest of your life.

You download all these games from Nintendo online service, not that you use your old game cartridges. Did you see 10 cartridge slots in the prototype. They even said it out loud. YOU WILL UPLOAD OLD GAMES FROM THE NET.

Man people getting dumber or what?

I'm being a complete noob and just jumping into this thread without backreading, but since this didn't show up on the gamer page yet...

I assume everybody saw that? If so, huge appologies.

I repeat, I am being a noob.

Nintendo has a very loyal user base. Complete Nintendo catalogue is like dream come true for them. Stop being self centered and quit knocking Nintendo down.

Yes I agree, Nintendo definitely is copying what everyone else is doing. I forgot how innovative the Xbox360 is going to be with its wireless controllers with triggers/thumbsticks/rumble features, PowerPC processor, ATI Video card, and memory card. I have never seen a console have all those features before. Damn Nintendo's GameCube to hell for copying off Microsoft's future console, they shall rue the day!

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Nintendo knows its fighting a losing battle, the cheap shot at PSP proved how cocky they are, everythings about onling gaming thesedays xbox proved it and now Sony and Nintendo are trying to catch up with their half assed efforts.

Sony and Nintendo are trying to catch up to what? A console that lost billions, has medicore sales, and never even got its foot in the door in Japan? What its online service that has like 2 million suscribers out of 20 million consoles? Yea Sony and Nintendo are sure falling behind to a successful console.

Hi troll, if you hate nintendo so much. Why are you still here. Obviously you will change no ones mind here, neither will others change yours. So what is the point of your constant bickering.

We undertstand, you are dissapointed. No one gives a damn. Now go to XBOX 360 thread and jizz on the screenshots or something and leave this thread with dignity.

You are wrong. Both Nintendo & Sony have realised the potential of online gaming otherwise they wouldnt have emphasized its importance and being "connected".

Let's not jump to conclusions until after the service launches shall we..

Compared to Sonys PlayOnline efforts which only actually supported a very limited number of games and had no matchmaking service or any kind of central hub, and then there was Nintendo that was stuck in the dark ages refusing to buy into the online gaming market.

Xbox took it, packaged it, and sold it and it was immensly successful. Now Sony and Nintendo realise and are playing catchup riding on the success of Xbox Live.

Sega AND Nintendo realized it about 10 years ago when they had the X-band modem and service. Please don't try and make it like MS invented the online game/matchmaking console services and made it successful, it hurts.

What's wrong with admitting they where wrong?

lol wrong again.

Its not the question of "Who did it first", but rather "Who was first successful at it". Apple didnt invent HDD based MP3 players first, but theirs was the first best implementation of it. Same with Xbox's Live.

Im not saying MS invented it and im well aware of X-Band. We werent as connected to the internet back then as we are now, hats off to them both, but Microsoft brought it to the masses in a neat little package. Just like Sony brought gaming to the masses with the PSX.

They are all revealing this stuff within 24 hours of eachother. HOW THE HELL could anyone be copying anyone else.

Im on about copying the current generation of consoles, Nintendo stubbornly refused to buy into online gaming, Microsoft made it successful now Nintendo suddenly decide its time to get into the game.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
