[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread


Recommended Posts

Well if they really did patent the new controller scheme and concepts/ideas behind it, then sure patents can protect them since they are in effect for 20 years (initially). Also, I'd love to hear what Sony & Microsoft have to say about the controller. :ninja:

They will say what many are already saying. Just read all the less than quiet posts in this thread haha.

Imagine if you will... a gun to hold as the skin... and a dancing type of pad to control your movement... so you control the direction of where you go by simply standing in that direction on the pad... use the gun with the buttons to do as you please. That will be beautiful.

Another concern of mine, is how well you'll be able to play these games  while just sitting down and relaxed, or tilted away from your television?

IGN wrote that they learned to relax after a while. It just takes som practise. Like any other controller.

I have a feeling that this console is going to ruin Nintendo, that controller is a joke.

Have many times do we have to explain things.. You have to try it to understand how it works. Your reaction is what Nintendo was worried for... Just think outside of the box for a while and think of the possibillities.

I love Nintendo, exactly for stuff like this. Seriously, this could be amazing, the potential for games like Soul Calibur excite me. I might buy a new console for the first time since N64 (I bought an Xbox, but it was for $20 since it's slighty broken, every once in a while I get the dreaded dirty disk).

Right. People are confined to the way controllers are now. Nintendo wants to break that.... they wanna bust down some motha effin walls ;D It seems that people's liking to nintendo is directly related to how imaginative they are.

I just dont get the whole Nintendo thing I guess. Never really saw them as boundry pushing geniuses.

If Nintendo worry that badly about what gamers think about their products then maybe they should step back and see what works rather than using gimmicks.

Swap 'imaginative' with 'elitist trend ######' and you're half way there.

    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
