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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 still would prefer to get a wireless sensor bar for a projector. I mean this is the wireless century isn't it? (unless you're still playing NES or something)

I still play my NES, and my PS2 which has only 1 wireless controller that doesn't work. Also, I have all wired stuff for my computer. The only thing truly wireless in my house are the tv remotes and the wii remotes.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Well we have wireless keyboards, mice, of course cellphones are wireless. I have a wireless keyboard for my Wii. And other things that aren't related to this thread. But the point is, I wouldn't see the need for a standard sensor bar for a projector screen when I could go wireless.

A mouse in plural form is mice. We have more than one computer.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Remember this?

The other site still hasn't even sent me a confirmation that Zack & Wiki has shipped. Unbelievable. If these two sites have similar prices that are only off by a dollar or so, it's pretty obvious which site I'd prefer.

It had been a week since Zack and Wiki came out. So, I wrote to them.

Our records indicate that, the order for the following item is out of stock: WII: ZACK & WIKI QUEST BARBARO- and our expected date of arrival for the item is 11/09.

There's no excuse for that. A three-week delay?

Considering this has been their track record for almost every game I've ordered from them, my business with them may be coming to a close. I might just get games that can arrive at any time, but when I've been in a shortage of games for so long, this just adds to my frustration. The site is great for DVDs, but terrible for games.

On the other side of the coin, Family Video e-mailed me the day before GHIII came out and said they shipped my package. I arrive home two days later to see it at my door. So, yeah, it's obvious that I'm going to use Family Video more often.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Did I dream that Guitar Hero 3 came or is coming out for Wii? Or did somebody really tell me... I can't remember. Even if it is for wii I still won't buy it, I'm just wondering.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Yeah, it's for the Wii.

Also you should buy it.
