New up close Wii images

NateTheGreat · 07-01-2006, 02:13 AM

Hey, so this is my first post here! Just wondered if anyone knew what the hatch to the right of the disc slot is for? I thought the disc slot accepted both Wii and the smaller GameCube discs, but perhaps this hatch is hiding a seperate GC game slot? Also, I can't tell from the pics what the three menu buttons below the A button are, other than the "home" in the middle. Seems like here there's a "+" and "-", while on this close-up shot, there looks to be a curved back arrow button and a "pause" button. Anyone know which is the real Wiimote?

Oh, and who hopes Nintendo will cut the cord between the Wiimote and Nunchuk?

I promise, my future posts won't be so lengthy

all wii controllers will include the nunchuk

Yup, it's true, I'd be lame to buy it seperatly.

The slot at the right of disc slot is a place for SD memory cards and the pic of the Wiimote is the real one. And yes i hope Nintendo makes the cord between the Wiimote and Nunchuk shorter or if the could get rid of the dord completly.

Thanks wii_rulez

that slot has been so...mysterious. I swear, I've never seen a controller for any console have it's buttons changed as much as the wiimote! Still love it though; hope it has a microphone like some sites are predicting, too.

There's nothing wrong with lengthy posts! In fact, I encourage you to write more than one sentence! ^_^

And as for that orange thing in the back, it looks like a place where you can stick a phone line. I'm hoping so because I don't have wireless Internet. ^_^'

Anyone notice that in the second pic (WiiMote w/ battery lid off), the top right terminal has no contact on it? Anyone who knows anything about electrisity would know that this is not a good combination.

***Edit***
I'm kinda surprised to be the one to bring this up, but any new rumors on the mysterious orange port on the back?

Dude its not a working model. That is just "for trade show use only" as they call it. Not finalized. They stated many times that many features and specs of the Wii are still subject to change.

But, that feature requires that you be within range (probably about 100 feet) of another Wii, if it's even for real. I've only seen that mentioned one place, and there wasn't much that was believable in that article.

***EDIT***
I just figured out the orange port. If you zoom in on the pic, it is clearly labeled "Sensor Bar"

It's so sleek it just makes you want to sink your teeth into it.

Necross · 07-07-2006, 11:00 PM

Well please let me understand something... you don`t need to be near a hot spot or a ...how do you call 'em?? net spot or something where wii may catch a singal for the wi-fi??

Octogon · 07-07-2006, 11:03 PM

As far as I understand it, you can either use a wireless router, a usb/ethernet adapter to connect Wii to the Internet via a usb cable, or a usb wifi adapter similar to this one for the DS.

Hope that answers your question

Right on. I think you're the first person on this forum who gets it. Also, in regard to the original question, yes, it's called a hot spot
