Re: The Wii is Here.

the sensor bar would be at the bottom of the screen. you would just have to adjust the settings.

Re: The Wii is Here.

i played with a projection screen a long time ago and i admit that it's a very good experience.... playing with a projector with the wii it's possible but i never tryed (well the problem is where am i gonna put the sensor bar anyway)

Re: The Wii is Here.

It wouldn't just be a projection. There are other ways to break out of the confines of a TV screen.

Such as... this!

Oh, I know. If there was a projection screen, then I still would've hooked it up to my tv. I was just saying if it was the only way.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Ok, I get it now, but... I don't have an empty wall or projector screen anywhere in my house. So if they did go with projector ONLY, then it would be smaller than my tv which isn't that big.

The only way I can see a Wii not using a TV is if you buy a projector personally. Then you'd have to get the wireless sensor bar for it. Other than that, it seems like if Nintendo did put a projector in it, the system would be a lot more expensive and a lot larger than it is now.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Way back before the console was released, Nintendo said something about a TV being less important, or something like that. I don't remember the exact wording, but after that press release, it was speculated that a TV would be unnecessary to play the Wii. I think it was still called Revolution at the time, just to give you an idea of how far back this was.

Re: The Wii is Here.

It was either Miyamoto or Iwata. One of them said he didn't like how games were confined to the box of a screen and wanted to take them outside of those confines.

I need to ask: What the hell would a Wii need a projector for?!?

Re: The Wii is Here.

Defiantly behind you on Conkers Bad Fur Day, although there may be an issue with the games age certificate.

There could be, but that's why they have Parental Controls under the Wii Settings. By the time they would add CBFD, I'll be 17, old enough to get an M rated game.

But about the parental controls, it's either the first or second page, and they work pretty good too. I only know this because my sister was getting on after I went to bed and she was doing stuff without my permission. (it's my Wii, I bought it) This all just means that the parental controls should solve the game rating problems.

Re: The Wii is Here.

One game I'm looking forward to is Conker's Bad Fur Day for N64 to be avaliable on VC. Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask wouldn't be a bad addition either.

They need to continue on the channel section of VC. They only have 3 things there and I got all 3.

Re: The Wii is Here.

So basically 3 Wii games and 2 virtual console games.

Yes. I already have SoR one and two. I feel SoR was the best trilogy and games for the Megadrive next to Sonic of course. As for Sin and Punishment, I actually really wanted that game for the N64. I couldn't wait, it was even on my Christmas list, however it came out when the N64 was on it's last legs and I'm not even sure it came out in the UK at all. I never saw it anywhere at least. So I am really happy it's on VC.

Re: The Wii is Here.

lol Squeek. i love when you say things the no one has any idea about and seem so confident.

Sure, you can gift it. But it seems to me that perhaps they might include something like the Zune did (free play for a certain amount of days) or anything. Why would they create a whole new channel for just gifting VC games? Wouldn't it be more logical to make a new feature in the existing shop channel for that?


Do all the gamestops have a playable demo now, Zidart?

i don't think so but if you live in tampa, florida go to citrus park mall XD

Re: The Wii is Here.

Man, I'm getting Prime 3, Streets of Rage 3 and Sin and Punishment in the next couple of days. <33333333333333333333

Then Galaxy and Resident Evil: UC next month. <333333333333333

I'm so happy about the end of this and next month.

So basically 3 Wii games and 2 virtual console games. Well I've stopped purchasing the VC games because they're all to short for me (except Zelda). But I'm getting Galaxy and Guitar Hero 3 when they come out. Oh and Squeek, If the Wii did have a built in projector, I'm sure the price for it would've way exceeded $250. It would've probably rivaled or came close to how much a 360 costed back then. But I really wouldn't see the point of a projector in a game system anyway unless this was the time of the Jetsons or something.
