Well that would be pretty slick indeed ... but im not sure that everyone has their Wii connected. Still i suppose those people can just miss out

Well, if it's not connected it just makes random weather...

I think that's part of Nintendo's plan. Also, wii boxing was just a small showcase of what the Wii can do. Future games will probably be better than wii sports or Zelda.

Too bad at this point that only Nintendo knows how to connect players over the internet on the Wii. So until they give third parties that info, only Nintendo games will be over the internet.

Im sorry but nintendo's online services are crappy, who the hell wants friend codes....

Hell even that new pokemon game isn't using the built in friend codes you have to use its own friend codes. Thats wiitarded.

Whats wrong with friend codes? Its an easy way to track people. Works on DS just fine.

@Jim E: That's because the PokÃƒÂ©mon game is just more or less an add-on for the DS games... it's using the (old) DS-service, which needs you to have a seperate code for every game... you can even play with the Wii-game against people playing the DS-game.

Locaiton-based RL weather in videogames has been done and it isn't as exciting as it sounds.

Such as that one GBA game that required you to play in the sun in order to power your weapons (god, I can't remember the name, but I spent over 5 hours playing it

).

Boktai? Sounds, uh, different.

Post by **kv83** » Fri 22 Dec, 2006 9:23 am

Boktai, yup. There is even a Boktai 2 and a DS-version is in development, which uses a "virtual sun"

... it's quite a fun game I heard.

btw, the beta of the opera browser is available on the wii.. gonna check it out today and will post something on maxcoderz of course

I got the wii browser, its pretty good.

Too bad it doesnt do Java, and that it's pretty lowres.
It also doesnt have an enter button.. makes it hard to submit stuff in forms that dont have a submit button.. doh (cgi irc). And its pretyt hard to read on the TV.
I'm really hoping for USB keyboard support, Java and a good IRC client..

The Wii doesn't provide HD output.

Even if it did, would you want it?

The Wii isn't particularly known for it's graphics
