Wii: Virtual Console

Posted by Charbax on 14th June 2006

The Wii will be backwards compatible with all previous Nintendo consoles. One will possibly be able to log online to buy old NES, SNES, N64 and GameCube games as downloads. Possibly one will be able to connect an external usb2 harddrive to the Wii to thus have external storage space for the Wii to be able to download big N64, GameCube and Wii games on-demand directly from Nintendo online, thus saving money on useless resellers and other businesses that make games retail prices so high.

Wii: Sports Airplane

Posted by Charbax on 14th June 2006

This is a fun game where you hold the Wii controller as you would hold a paper airplane and you are thus controlling it around in this Pilotwings-like environment. The controller feels just perfectly precise and usefull in this game, thus proving that the controller really works well.

Wii: Drums

Posted by Charbax on 14th June 2006

Some profetionnal drummers were hired to play some drums the whole day using the Wii Drums game and a Wii controller in each hand.. It seems to kind of work, but there might be some very slight delay or some other way of synchronizing the sounds that made it sometimes sound a bit unnatural. Watch the video and judge for yourself. I would else think that this kind of game would be simply awesome. Imagine mixing this with Wii Orchestra, Wii keyboard, Wii guitar and more instruments, and imagine if you could create extremely original music this way..

Wii: Red Steel

Posted by Charbax on 14th June 2006

This is another action packed first person shooter game for the Wii, though this game was even more difficult for me to adjust to with the Wii controller.
