Here, discuss about the Nintendo Wii without any of the flaming or swearing at all..
You guys know the drill..

Here are the Wii specs

Controls: Intuitive control for anyone using the physical motion of the main Wii Remote, which resembles a television remote control. Up to four Wii Remotes can be connected at once using wireless Bluetooth technology. The wireless signal can be detected within 10 meters of the console. Both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers include a three-axis motion sensor. The Wii Remote also includes a speaker, rumble feature and expansion port, and can be used as a pointer within 5 meters of the screen. The Wii Remote has a power switch, plus pad, A, B, Minus, Home, 1 and 2 buttons. The Nunchuk controller includes an analog control stick and C and Z buttons.

The Look: Wii features a compact design that will make it a natural addition to any television setup. It can be displayed either vertically or horizontally.

Media: A single self-loading media bay will play single- or double-layered 12-centimeter optical discs for Wii, as well as 8-centimeter Nintendo GameCube discs.

Communication: Wii can communicate with the Internet even when the power is turned off. This WiiConnect24 service delivers a new surprise or game update, even if users do not play with Wii. Users can connect wirelessly using IEEE 802.11b/g, or with a USB 2.0 LAN adaptor. Wii also can communicate wirelessly with Nintendo DS.

Virtual Console: Wii will have downloadable access to 20 years of fan-favorite titles originally released for Nintendo 64, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and even the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The Virtual Console also will feature a "best of" selection from Sega Genesis titles and games from the TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson). It also will be home to new games conceived by indie developers whose creativity is larger than their budgets.

The Specs: Wii boasts 512 megabytes of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports and built-in Wi-Fi capability. A bay for an SD memory card will let players expand the internal flash memory. Design was optimized with state-of-the-art processing technologies that minimize power consumption, keep the console compact and enable the "sleepless" WiiConnect24 mode.

CPU: PowerPC CPU (code-named "Broadway"). Made with a 90 nm SOI CMOS process, jointly developed with and manufactured by IBM.

Graphics Processing Unit: Being developed with ATI.

Other Features: Four ports for classic Nintendo GameCube controllers. Two slots for Nintendo GameCube Memory Cards. An AV Multi-output port for component, composite or S-video.

cool fact i learned today. the wii will NOT have HD gaming... nintendo says it is because not enough households dont have it but i say its because nintendo does not have the technology...

So Far whats making me not buy the Wii:
-NO HD-TV gaming
-
that is so much memory it makes my xbox look like it has no memory...
please, the 360 has 40x that abount of memory and the ps3 will have even more than that!
-You know what is great though, Nintendo decided to make Online play... even though that was around the last generation, but WAIT, the Wii doesnt even have a head set to communicate! how will u talk to people


If you want fun get the xbox 360 and/or ps3! Dont waste your time or space with the Wii...

he speaks teh truth, plus the downloading is bullcrap I have all the carts I play and I don't wanna have to pay for them again!

NINTEDO looks like they will still be behind on this gen too maybe next time they will finally catch up

no next time they will catch up to this gen so thhey will always be behind it's just a law of nature
