DVD Playback Not on Wii
Via IGN
This little detail was deliberately removed. Had to be. Because going way back to 2005, it was mentioned in the official release, of which every detail continues to be reiterated in updated official Nintendo Wii spec sheets -- minus the DVD-playback functionality bit, that is.
Observe exhibit A: 2005 Wii hardware breakdown WITH DVD-playback functionality mention
Now see exhibit B: Updated Nintendo Wii hardware breakdown from Nintendo. Pretty much all the same info and even wording here, but the DVD-playback stuff has been removed.
Like the headline indicates, I haven't really researched the subject beyond my initial paranoid theory and connected speculation. It could very well be that DVD-playback for Wii is not something that Nintendo is interested in promoting .
Lets hope Wii has got DVD playback, itll be a big downer if not

I hope the DVD function of the Wii will be progressive scan.
Do you think it will be?

People, this is why they invented DVD-PLAYERS.

Maybe if there was CD play back you could spin records with the Wii-mote. Then I'd get a Wii.

I know that every man, woman and child around where I live already has some way of playing DVDs..if not on every TV in the house then at least on most.
Wii sounds like it's made for games, and...that's about it, which is fine by me.

yeah, it doesnt really dissapoint me because the wii isnt going to have digital sound output anyway. thats the main thing that makes a dvd fun, listening to the awesome surround sound.
i was dissapointed that wii would only have analogue sound until i heard resident evil 4's amazing sound, and it only has prologic2. so, alls well
