A couple of answers to your questions: Q: Where can I find this? A: WiiLink provides this service to bring back online Wii services. All their software is available at www.wiilink24.com Q: Why does Wii Room ask for blood type? A: In Japan, some people believe that blood types determine someone's personality.

[@Teriiiyakiii]

So basically, blood types are like the astrology horoscopes of Japan

[@A_Name136]

If you have an O blood type you will… have a nice day today

[@nakayoshi93]

Ah yeah, the blood type horoscope like thing. It's on inserts in some of my 90s phone book manga. Wack that that's a thing. Sure made Kodansha look like a vampire to me for a hot second

[@tacokoneko]

i dont know what blood type i have

​​@@tacokoneko if blood type cards exist where you are you could ask your doctor for one next time you need to get blood taken. That's how I got mine

Reminder: this was a Japan-only Wii channel under the name “Wiiの間” (Wii no ma)

[@Cherry_zayn]

I'll put my wii on ur no ma

[@anko_dtm]

think that might be Wii no aida, which i think translates as “Wii Space”

[@RDE2111]

​@anko_dtm ma is in fact correct. You hear it in other room related words as well (ima, ochama -> living room)

For anybody confused about the blood type question, they're a bit like star signs in Japan.

[@DJ5_OVD]

That’s so cool to know. I want to start learning their culture. They are so advanced on a technological scale too.

[@Ozzianman]

​​​​@@DJ5_OVD Ehhhhh, no. Japan is actually quite stagnant when it comes to tech. Technologically Japan is quite stuck in the 2000s due to the bureaucracy. They lived in the 2000s in the 1980s. They still live in the 2000s in 2024. For one, they finally stopped using floppy disks. Those can only hold a few megabytes and are vulnerable to magnetic fields as that can wipe the data.

[@DJ5_OVD]

@@Ozzianmandamn, the more you know I guess! I should really research more I guess, but I’m so excited to go next year regardless. The culture there is so relaxing (not the work culture but that seems to slowly be getting better as they are taking initiative to fix their work life balance)

Cringe modern copypasta.

[@_Just_Another_Guy]

I didn't realize it until I watched this video but... the entirety of the Wii's design philosophy literally falls within the Fruitiger Aero principles of design 😂 The white clean space, the cool neon blue, the rounded corners, the ASMR pings, the "radial waves" when a button is clicked or loading, etc. It all evoked that 2000's clean happy future vibes of Fruitiger Aero.

[@mamamamary808]

Exactly and I fucking love it

[@TECHNOJESTER]

yeah thats because frutigier aero is a reflexive design philosophy that was invented extremely recently to encapsulate trendy aspects of design from the 00s. the wii's design philosophy falls into frutigier aero because fruitigier aero is designed to summarise it, not out of coincidence. in its most cynical sense, fruitigier aero is not really an actual design space, it's just a vague encapsulation of 00's nostalgia.

[@bingonight1504]

2006-2009 was like peak fruitiger aero. iPods in every color of the rainbow, cell phones that did magic tricks, everything looked like bubbles. I miss when software used to look like toys

[@Professor_Utonium_]

I miss the Gamecube through Wii U era. The Switch is cool and all but lacks so many of those really interesting applications and connectivity gimmicks that Nintendo was doing for a good decade or so. Pictochat, GBA/GCN link cable, all of the different Wii channels, 3DS with the (horrible but fun) AR cards and 3D cameras, etc; They really just went all-in on the games with Switch, for better or worse. I just miss when their systems came packed with all sorts of weird, interesting experimental things to try out.

I feel the same way as you do, but unfortunately not everyone is going to sit through what is basically a 20 minute video to test how well your internet connection and playback of your console is. The thing I noticed on the Wiis back in the late 2000s was no ethernet port (Which the Xbox 360 and PS3 had built into the console, but Wii did not, so you were forced to use Wi-Fi, which was spotty at times especially during thunderstorms and rain showers).
