Xbox family writes: We have a Wii Dev Kit and some developer discs (which appear to be DVDs, but are called RVTs).
I'll post some pictures of the kit and discs later. I have to blackout certain things. Credit goes to J on this one since she brought it home. It's flippin sweet though.
Oh also have the developer cart for DS. I'll post that later tonight too.
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

I've seen these before, but the one I saw looked exactly the same minus the disc drive, instead it had a laptop HDD built in with some lights on the front (which perhaps signals which partition is in use)
That's not actually a Wii dev kit, the development kit is a big black box with lots of USB ports on the back. We've got them, so I would know.
That kit he has there is more of a Wii testing unit, basically a Wii with less security that will play games from any disk.
They have PS3 test kits that look like regular PS3s as well as proper dev kits that are essentially also big black boxes.
