Most of the time when IGN makes a video of themselves doing something...it sucks.
This continues that fine tradition.Last edited by Anime_Ninja_WolfDog; 30-10-2006, 18:14.Comment

Nice to see WPA and WPA2 support in there - for some reason I had the fear that it would be WEP only

Agreed, i wonder if they'll release a firmware update to the DS to allow it to support WPA?Originally posted by Spatial101Nice to see WPA and WPA2 support in there - for some reason I had the fear that it would be WEP only
That IGN video is mildly intresting but it does make you realise how crap IGN's video content is compared to Gamespot.Comment

Wow, a lot of questions I had about the Wii have now been answered. Text entry, for one. I like the way they've provided both a QWERTY keyboard and a mobile phone layout.
Seeing the drive suck in Gamecube disks was cool, I wonder how accurate you have to be with your aiming though...
The pointer interface looks really nice and responsive, just like using a mouse. Should be awesome for FPS.
The addtion of up-to-date wifi encryption methods was a relief, as WEP is a joke. Makes me wonder if the Wii will act as a wifi base station for the DS, like their USB dongle.
Didn't see any flash intro when the machine was powered up. Just a crappy warning. I would have liked it to do something.
Didn't see any settings to determine region, so it looks like we might not be able to pull 360-style cross-locale content stealing.
Everytime I see 480p, I get more hopeful that the PAL consoles won't get crippled and stuck with inferior video output.Comment

Irritatingly, this means you'll have to go through that warning twice on some Gamecube games, in the same way you do on GBA games on the DS.Originally posted by revlobComment

Everytime I see it, I get less hopeful. Nintendo need to come clean on the PAL situation and just make an announcement (or better still, show us the PAL Wii UI with a 576p(!) option).Originally posted by revlob
I won't be at all surprised if the PAL consoles are 576i only. Again.Comment

Now i more confused than before.Originally posted by bignige
Does this means that 480i (wii) games can theoretically
be upscaled to 480p ?Comment

New Wii Secret to be revealed Near Launch
Gamepro can confirm that there will be a secret Wii announcement to be made close to launch time. The magnitude of this myster is uknown, so it could be either really small or huge, we're going for somewhere in between to be on the safe side

Wow, you're up on your stuff. I can confirm that there was a GameStop retreat and Reggie did in fact say there will be another big Wii revelation around launch time.
As to what I think this new announcement might be? I have no idea. However, I'd think it would most likely be specs related (since Nintendo is still hush-hush about what the Wii actually incorporates). My second theory is that the revelation will be about Wii's online capabilities.

Super Mario Galaxy available on launch day or before ChristmasComment

The way I understood it, the video settings for the Wii console are there just to apply a default when there is a choice. This means you won't have to "hold A and Start" when starting a game up to enable widescreen/progressive scan.Originally posted by Cornflakes
I'm hoping the vast majority of games support progressive scan anyway.Comment

New issue of ONM mag states that Wii will be 720p capable. I wonder why they would say that as all along they've stated SD only.Originally posted by bignigeNew Wii Secret to be revealed Near Launch
