IGN writes: "Well, the wait is finally over. It's been roughly two and a half years since the launch of Nintendo's latest console, and for almost that same amount of time there's been one constantly complained-about, endlessly reiterated issue plaguing the system that both its critics and fans have brought up again and again -- its considerably lacking storage space.
The problem with the Wii's low amount of on-board "blocks" and channel array spots became apparent pretty quickly, as gamers across the world filled their systems with save files for their games on disc, as well as the digital goods of the Wii Shop. The issue was only exacerbated with each passing Monday morning, as more and more Virtual Console and WiiWare titles were made available for purchase -- and when, each time a Wii owner would want to make a purchase, he or she would first have to "clean out the fridge" to make sure that there was enough room clear on the Wii's internal flash drive to be able to receive the new download."
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.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
Debuting in Season 9, all players can try a beta of The Crew Motorfest’s new ambitious track creator, TrackForge.
Seeing the walkthrough video in a different article, Its like if the black instead of white is pretty much the "dark" vs "light" setting Nintendo usually sets up xD. SD is evil ?>=D.?
NOW I WANT DEMO'S
Edit:
O, by the looks of it Demo's are still impossible. The games need to be cached into the flash-memory. before it can boot.
I guess Nintendo feels strong about their security.
Also DLC...wasn't that done before? That could boot from the SD that is.
is awesome. So much more convinient than having to move everything manually and out of the way. The wait is over, wahooo!
Close but no cigar. I still don't get what they were thinking with the memory for the Wii and while this is a bit easier to cope with it's still eons more ball ache than a HDD would be.
BTW I just know I'm gonna forget about the save files and delete everything the wrong way round.
I really don't mind the Wii system menu as it is. Simple and effective, and moving things around menually is pretty fun.
i get off N4G one month and 2 FF pop up out of nowhere and i can only recgonize 3 ppl on the comment section? O.o
anyway, a storage solution will help me a lot, time to download lost winds and tetris again...
