100 Facts About The Wii That YOU Didn't Know!

[@bluegizmo1983]

Another fun fact about the Wii: you can fit every single Wii game ever released in the US market on just over 500 gigabytes of hard drive space 😂

My Wii has a stand. I thought all Wiis were like that until I started watching videos about it on the internet

[@sanicsanic6890]

Actually, the Wii disc drive (well, the GameCube compatible ones, anyway) can actually read and play DVD videos, but Nintendo didn't feel like paying DVD FLLC royalties for the logo on the box of every Wii. Nintendo just disabled the feature in the Wii menu but you can use homebrew to get it to work

[@codemisterz]

Really?

[@katalystkatapatheticalyssa5987]

Really? I'll have to try that.

[@bacon-1213]

To play the DVD’s you need to homebrew your Wii and download WiiMC. WiiMC is a media player for the wii and you can play videos on it. Insert a supported DVD disc into the console and browse the video files you want to play.

[@RipVanFish09]

It doesn’t work out of the box though. You need to be able to run custom software, that enables the functionality.

[@CarsandCats]

I still have my launch edition Wii with the stand. I never noticed the Logo was changed in later models to be horizontal! I love the GameCube emulation & controller ports. It's kind of weird that the adult games are on the GameCube mostly.

[@xxthesebxx3746]

Fun fact: GameCube is not even getting emulated, it's running native in GameCube Mode, which is just restricting Wii Hardware to GameCube Hardware basically

5:45 The LEDs for players 5 to 7 are counting in binary, with the top LED representing the number 4, the 2nd LED is blank, the 3rd LED represents 2 and the 4th LED represents 1, e.g. the 1st and 3rd LED lit result in 4 + 2 = 6. The only odd one out is the number 8 which can't be represented that way.

I had a gyration Mouse when I was in college. Around 2001. It's insane not knowing I was buying something partly owned by nintendo. It was a cool house, you could pick it up in the mouse turned into a pointer. Brilliant idea, surprised they never caught on... On PCs

alot of these were just observations of regular gameplay

On #39 they also removed the SD card slot, Component cable support, and you couldn’t use any online functionality at all even through the usb broadband adapter that was released for the Wii. So it was strictly a Wii Ultra Light.

The correct spelling is "Wuhu Island", but it's pronounced the same so your point still stands.

[@MotoDash1100]

5:38 , 1, 2, 3, 4 are all counting by one. 5, 6, 7, all take a Binary Number approach to counting with the top spot (in the diagram) being 4. From top to bottom (in the diagram anyways) it goes 4, 3, 2, 1. So, the top (4) + bottom (1) being 5, then 6 being 4+2, and 7 being 4+2+1 (because 4+3 would be same light symbol for 2nd Player). But here's the issue... Player 8, it could have been 4 (top light) + 3 (second from top) + 1 (bottom). But instead... no clue on why or how it's just the two center dots. It could have been done to denote Fin/End/Complete, to say that there won't be similar continuation to be 9 and more players but uh... yeah how about just doing 8 as 4+3+1 and calling it a day???
