Wii Warm Up: Negativity

@accordion:
Did you just feel like spending 300 $? i can't see why you got a wii, when you think its crap.


I really like my wii, and the VC is really great too!

Wii is cheap. Mines starting to act up on me and I've barely used it (artifacts in-game / wii menu)

A warning to anyone who owns a Wii, turn Wii Connect OFF.

Snipr i think your problem is you may not be using stand, it raises the fan away from the fround to allow it room to breathe.

And i personally think wii has a great library right now with a great library coming up.

um yeah the stand is there for a good reason. ventilation. my wii has been on connect 24 for 4 months with no problems.

[DPyro]

No, its on its stand...


And like I said, I've barely used it. So its always in standby with no fan running, and Wii Connect ON

well i did like it, from Uk launch December 8th till the end of december...

there is no software, the menus are restricting and it simply is not exciting..

and $300 is a lot less than £300 so i feel very very let down[and stupid]...[i have spent the same amount on the Ps3 and have had much more fun, though ill wait till ive had it a month to really compare!ha!]

and WiiConnect 24 does cause ALOT of heat from the console. i used to use it, but i found the surrounding area on my shelf was getting hot as well!!! danger will robinson!!!

[ICE]

hmm i havent had any heat at all when in standby. well at least not anything noticeable.

My wii does heat up alarmingly on standby." it seems that on standby the fans don't seem to keep the system properly cooled" So I simply stopped using standby. I mean, what's the perpess of standby anyway. Its just a feature that serves wii connect 24. standby isn't really necessary if one where to ask me.

On a side note., Ill never understand. Why a high profile title like Halo, or GTA, can save a console.
But a legendarily high profile title. Like Zelda, or mario. Is looked upon like ehh, its just a nity title.

The reality is, No single developer anywhere, has the talent under one roof that nintendo has. and people just don't seem to want to admit that.

It's almost like society places more value on obscure high profile titles. While the time tested classics are looked upon in a different light. " oh zelda was coming, so no point in praising that,
But ninja gaiden. orange and blue, now those are praise worthy, While mario galaxy a title that has been in development for over two years now, "only to make sure its perfect," cant find the same place in someone's heart as grand theft auto 27- convenience store bloopers.

I don't think the problem is the console or the games. I think its the narrow minded idea that everyone falls into one gaming category or another. when in reality, the world is a big place full of different gamers that all want different games to play. The market may have grown to meet more focal groups of gamers, But in reality. The current state the market sees one in now, is either hard core or casual, its obvious to see that as popular a past time as video gaming is, now with old and young alike. Video gaming has outgrown those old ideas. Its no longer as simple as hard core or casual. we have people now in the scene that aren't casual, nor are they hard core. The market does need to understand, that when a game as big as the "Market" is being played, that there really ought to be more then just two types of gamers catered to.
That's just my opinion anyway.

Funny thing is, most people who complain on a lack of games, simply say there is only wii sports, zelda and a bunch of party games, which is not true, with about 2-3 games coming out currently every week I do not feel a lack of games, ok, 70% of them are titles I would not buy, but that is true for every plarform. I currently own about 10 wii titles and a similar number of reused cube titles, and only two of the wii titles I would consider failures (That being, GT, ok that came with the wii for extra 20 dollars so no complains, and heatseeker, which simply is not my genre, although the game is good)
What is missing however is more epic games, Zelda is good, but there is nothing besides it in the same genre, adventure games are missing as well...
But the wii already has a very good lineup for its small time of existence.

Ok guys, I've been doing research and can 100% confirm the WiiConnect24 broke my Wii from overheating. Google 'wii overheating artifacts'.
