Wii Startup Disc confusion

SGXX · 10-20-2006, 04:44 PM

probably some kinda rumor.

Arcadium · 10-20-2006, 09:47 PM

No Wiired... I saw it a long ago too... and I really don't know what to think... maybe it can be something containing some virtual console games... who knows...

DarkDepths · 10-21-2006, 11:07 PM

I am willing to bet that it includes something to sinc it to the sensor bar, and perhaps to change your settings or something. I Dont know, but it could also be something to restore your wii, if you should download something that could infect your wii...

I got the GCN the day it came out and it came with a disc which was shaped like the GCN disc but actually was a DVD. It just had videos of some of the launch games. Maybe something similar here.....

zeldex · 10-22-2006, 07:09 PM

When I got my PSP (I regret the decision now, the DS looks so much better), it came also with a disk which just had some game videos and some music files. nothing necessarily important to the functioning of the PSP. I think that the Wii disk may also be something like this. Of course, the Wii sensor bar and such may also need some calibration, so maybe that's why the disk is included.

MysticGohan · 10-22-2006, 07:50 PM

i think this is a system update disk or an online disk like the one that comes with the ps2

^ ^^^^Agreed

Link_of_Hyrule · 10-22-2006, 08:15 PM

ok lets think about this logiacaly they started hardware production way back in july and they have made way newer software since then and alot of people aren't going to get online so the logical this is that this is a firmware update my question is if people have access to a wii why don't they just open it up and show us i mean theres thousands of eb games with wii boxes in the back i'm sure that they could open one up and sell it any ways no one gives a crap if someone opens a box or not as long as it work i know i wouldn't care lol

MysticGohan · 10-23-2006, 02:19 PM

i cant wait till wii come out i want it now i cant wait 26 days and 7 hours and 40 mins

[Off Topic] Amiright in saying that MysticGohan and Flip, have the exact same sig? [/Off Topic]

Wiiboy93 · 10-23-2006, 02:26 PM

yup exactly the same

MysticGohan · 10-26-2006, 02:47 PM

i took it off

Tim · 10-27-2006, 06:47 AM

I have a different idea.

I think that the Wii will not always come with Wii Sports, and that it may only be available in that form for a few months. It tells you on the front that it comes with Wii Sports, which I guess is just a sticker - why would they be so vague and say "startup disk" if they'd already referred to it as "Wii Sports"?

The console was put into production long before E3, or before much of the system had been finalized. Therefore, I would propose that the disk would contain some kind of software total installer, or an update, and some configuration software, for example for the sensor bar and the WiFi options.

Hmm I'm going to go with the reset disc idea to roll back the Wii to factory settings, along with a set up disc or perhaps installation of VC/internet(opera etc) software and a firmware update. I don't think that it's Wii sports, I mean that's actually a planned game correct? Surely then it'll come as a single game disc with it's own box packaged with the console and not a disc bundles with other shit on it?

I'll feel cheated if it is Wii Sports + videos + random stuff + firmware update all on one disc sans box.

Oh and does anyone else have any ideas how you'll get future firmware updates without a net connection? Think games stores will get them?

Wilko21 · 10-27-2006, 09:10 PM

It has to be Wii Sports. Wii Sports comes in the package and since the Wii Startup Disc is the only disc in the package it has to be that....

UNLESS!

The Wii Sports disc might be given to you outside of the package box. Which would mean that the Wii Startup Disc is not Wii Sports.

SUSPENCE!!!!

thewii · 11-03-2006, 03:58 PM

I think its somekind of teaching disk. I think it will show you the basics of wii-moting. I think itll be kind of like a totorial.
wouldnt it be cool if one of nintendos heads(miamoto,reggie or Iwata) taught you how to play a wii?????

Sam_Harris · 11-03-2006, 09:03 PM

Here a picture of the Wii requesting the disc so it basically sets up the Wii at the start kinda like the cd that comes with ipods
