Default Nintendo Wii Breakdown--The Answer for Nintendo Newbies!

The Nintendo Wii Breakdown

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...4/wii_logo.gif

Part I: What's the Wii?

The Nintendo Wii is Nintendo's brand new next-generation console. You may be wondering what is so good about this console; your answer will be pouring into your mind into a few moments. But once you read this, don't get your hopes up; not many of us have actually experienced the Wii itself.

The Wii, once, was codenamed the "Revolution." It was named this because Nintendo believed that this console will revolutionize the very ways of gaming; so do I, and many others.

Part II: The Controller

http://www.dlmag.com/gallery/.galler...controller.jpg

The Wii Controller, or the Wii-Mote is one of the many things that sparkled the console. This controller is not like an ordinary Xbox/360 controller, or a PS2 controller; it's motion-sensitive.

Don't get my drift? Let's take an example: Let's say you're playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the very first time. You start out, sword 'n all. What do you do to swing your sword at an enemy? Press the B button? A? Nope.

Swing! Swing your arm like you're holding the sword itself(but with the Wii-Mote, rather) in front of the T.V.(scroll down for further details) and Link will swing the sword, too!

Now, let's say you playing Wii Sports(scroll down for bundling info) and you're playing tennis. You're holding a racket; what do you do?

Swing! Swing the 'Mote, and boom, you just did a forehand!

What 'bout FPS'es?

Precise aiming. Aim, press A, and boom. It makes the experience more virtual.

Part III: Hardware

CPU/GPU:

PowerPC CPU (code-named “Broadway”), made with a 90nm SOI CMOS process, jointly developed with and manufactured by IBM; GPU developed with ATI

Media:

A single self-loading media bay plays single- or double-layered 12-cm optical discs for the Wii console, as well as 8-cm Nintendo GameCube discs.

Backward Compatibility:

The Wii is backward-compatible to all Nintendo GameCube games and includes four ports for controllers and two slots for memory cards.

Network:

The Wii console communicates wirelessly with the Internet via IEEE 802.11 or a USB 2.0 LAN adaptor. Wii also can connect wirelessly with Nintendo DS.

Size:

About 8.5 inches long, 6 inches wide and less than 2 inches thick (roughly the size of 3 DVD cases stacked on top of each other)

Design:

Featuring a compact design that makes it a natural addition to any television setup, the Wii console is white in color and can be displayed either vertically or horizontally

Input/Output:

Input: four Wii Remote controllers can communicate with Wii, which features a bay for an SD memory card

Output: an AV Multi-output port for component, composite or S-video

WiiConnect 24:

The Wii console can communicate with the Internet even when the power is turned off. The WiiConnect24 service delivers a new surprise or game update, even if the system is idle. Users can connect wirelessly using IEEE 802.11 or a USB 2.0 LAN adaptor.

Part IV: Wii Channels!

Another thing that boosts up the uniqueness. Wii Channels; they are an outside-gaming experience.

The Mii's:

Fun 3-D caricatured portraits of users, or Miis, created in this channel can be used on characters across a variety of Wii software. In addition to storing Miis on the Wii, several Miis can be stored in a user’s Wii Remote and taken to a friend’s house to play on another Wii console. Each member of the family can have his or her Wii Remote personalized with their own Mii.

Photh Channel:

This channel allows users to retrieve digital pictures from an SD memory card inserted into the Wii console and display them on their television screen. Users also can manipulate the photos in a variety of fun and creative ways, such as zooming into details or creating mosaics, puzzles or slide shows. Users can even add an MP3 tune from their SD memory card to their slide shows. It provides a fun and easy outlet for people to edit and show off their digital pictures.

Forecast Channel:

Users can access free local weather forecasts after turning on the Wii console. When connected to the Internet, the WiiConnect24 service automatically updates local weather information.

News Channel:

Users can access the most up-to-date breaking news from around the world, organized into a variety of topical categories. When connected to the Internet, the WiiConnect24 service automatically updates this free channel.

Wii Shop Channel:

This is where users go to download video game content, including classic video games originally played on the NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGrafx platforms. Here the users may buy Wii Points with a credit card or redeem a Wii Points Card purchased at retail to add points to their account, then redeem points to download these Virtual Console games. Users also can use points to download the Opera browser used in the Internet Channel.

Virtual Console Channel:

After users download Virtual Console games from the Wii Shop Channel, each game will appear in the Wii Channel Menu as its own Virtual Console Channel. To play the game, users simply select the game's channel.

Internet Channel:

This channel dramatically changes the relationship between a user's home, the television and the Internet. Users download the Opera browser with Wii Points. Then they can surf the Internet right from the comfort of their couch. They can do quick research while watching a television program ("What was that actor's name again?"), or book travel plans and shop during commercials. The service is compatible with Macromedia Flash and also runs AJAX software.

Wii Message Board:

Forget hand-scrawled notes tacked to the refrigerator door. Users can leave messages for other family members on a calendar-based message board. They also can use WiiConnect24 to send messages to people outside the home as well. Even better, people can trade photos and text messages with cell phone users. The service also allows for incoming messages targeted at software, such as a new map or weapon for a game. Games can constantly be updated, thereby extending their playability.

Disc Channel:

This channel allows users to play either Wii game discs or any of the entire library of Nintendo GameCube discs.

Part VI: Release Date, Box, Bundle.

Release Dates:

November 19th 2006 - North and South America ($250)
December 2nd 2006 - Japan (25,000 yen)
December 8th 2006 - Europe (249 Euros)
December 8th 2006 - UK (£179)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ii_boxshot.gif

Voilah! The wonderful box art of the Wii itself! You will be getting this box, hopefully, on November 19, 2006, or some other launch date.

It will include: One Wii-mote, Nun-chuck attachment, Wii Sports (Europe, North America, South America Only), Wii Play (Japan Only), AC adapter, audio/video cable, sensor bar stand, sensor bar, Wii console stand, and 2 batteries.

Part VII: Sensor Bar

http://eur.news1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.c.../938529485.jpg

This bar attaches to your T.V., which emits a large range for your Wii-Mote to detect. Don't worry, the range is pretty large, think of the bar's range as wide as a wide-angle camera. Maybe even larger.

The Bottom Line

You've seen everything you need to know; now, you can decide whether you'll buy it or not. I know I am!

Everywhere except Japan the Wii will come with 1 wiimote, 1 nunchuk, 1 powercord, 1 composite video cable, 1 Wii stand (for displaying Wii vertically), 1 sensor bar, 1 sensor bar stand, and WiiSports.

The Japanese version will ship with everything but WiiSports.

once again, you dont swing the wii-mote to swing the sword in zelda, you do press A, the only motion sensoring is with the cursor fairy and just to perform the spin attack with the wii-mote and the sheild shove with the nunchuk

Well actually...

Now, swiping the Wii-mote side to side will have players slashing Link's sword back and forth. If players make a circular motion with the nunchuk, Link will spin in a circle clearing enemies out from around him. Additionally, if players jab with the 'chuk when an icon tells them to, Link will attack his enemies with his shield.

I know the Wii cannot play dvds but what about cd playback?
I noticed Excitetruck has custom soundtracks, so if its not from a cd then how would i go about puting an album onto an SD card?

I think he said that it would. If he didn't, yes. And it looks like he copied and pasted from the Nintendo site. Either way, good info. And you do control his sword useing motion sesitvity. Nintendo said it themselfs. You'll also see it in online videos.

Nice games list there, I hope its real! I was kind of worried about games being released for the Wii, but after that I have no worries.

Good post, it answered a few of my questions. Though, I think you should mention that it can play previous Nintendo games(NES, SNES, N64) in the "Backwards Compatibility" section. You only mention GameCube games. Some people(like I) skipped through the Wii channels because I don't have high-speed internet/Wi-fi. They might miss that part...

But I still have some questions...:

You say the sensor bar connects to the T.V. itself, through AV inputs Im guessing. Well, what if a T.V. doesn't have those inputs? My TV doesnt, so I use the AV ports through the DVD player which is hooked up to it(through cable line) for my Xbox or other game consoles. Won't there be 2 different AV plugs? One for the Wii console and one for the sensor bar? I hope I'm not sounding too confusing. I'm started to get confused myselft just typing this...

alright, thankss, great info.
umm, I could've skipped this, 'cause I just kinda "briefly" read it lol but, is there anyway to just use regular controllers to play on the wii, instead of always using the wii mote or the numchucks or whatever? Because there will be times where I will just want to play a game normally, without motion sensor stuff. Is there anyway? And is Nintendo Wii going online? Sorry if these are both noob questions and already answered in the posts above...lol if it is, my apoligies
