What the Wii needs to be truly successful

[phillepino]

The wii needs alot of things and this can all be achieved through firmware updates and regualr updates.

Online
-headset or keyboard

Channels
-Media Channel: music,movies, and pictures from hard drive or sd card.
-Demo/trailer Channel: play demos and watch trailers.

Games
- Make some virtual console games online

Not all of these can be updated through firmware.

In the online section, i agree with the headset, however, it already has a usb keyboard

You can already watch movies, pictures, and listen to music on ur SD card.
Demo/trailer channel is announced to exist soon.

There was a recent announcement that a VC game would be online. Search Wikipedia for it.

The Wii already has a usb keyboard support, using it in games is up to the developers afaik.

Sshado:

Don't blame the Wii itself nor Nintendo about the small number of save slots/profiles in games (except of course in Nintendo's own games), it's not a limitation in the system, it's up to the developers how many save slots/profiles a game has (MK:A can have 7 profiles, haven't tested what's the limit in Red Steel if there is one). I agree that being able to have more than one copy of the same game's save on an SD-card simultaneously would be great.

One thang you have to remember is Wii wifi is free and xbox live isnt, so they arnt losing any money if you stop playing online :/

[PS3Stinks]

The keyboard is already compatible and now you can use it on the Internet Channel I love to play online games on the big screen

The Wii is the most successful gaming console as today.. beating 360 and PS3.

Improvements:

Better game online play (with no wii friend codes, check NBA LIVE 08 for Wii, that is the way it should be done)

High Definition (if it is possible with the current hardware)

3rd party developers to start taking the Wii seriously

Ya i own a Torque SDK from Garagegames and they are releasing an SDK for the Wii for Torque soon.... i plan on getting it... but not just to code/port games, but to exploit, btw for any noobs out there, yes you have to code will an sdk, its not like modding, there is no drag n drop.... so many noobs...

USB hard drives FTW. That alone would open up a buttload more options. Movies, more VC room, DLC space, music, backup saves, DEMO'S, etc.

EDIT: An Xbox 360 doesn't replace a Wii. I have both because they are too different...but the Wii can't keep up with what it has right now. So no, the OP getting a 360 is not a solution.

Actually not..Think a bout us saving the same game saves in the HDD we would have to delete one right?

It would much more intelligent to add more saving slots to games and also to let us put names to our saves so that then they won't be identical and we can have for example three different saves of the same game but with the different names added.

or you can go out and buy a ps3 or 360
