They had the sensor bar below the screen in a little cut out shelf. The Wii was actually a Wii U connected to a composite-to-vga converter. It looked so bad in motion, but people were having fun and that's all that matters.

They're also including Yoshi's Island. That seems like a big deal. I think they've only released the gba port in the past.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:I bet Nintendo did something like make sure the on-board storage was EXACTLY the amount needed so you can't hack it and add more games. I hope not but I bet they did. There are no additional software sales here, so I doubt they'd care. If anything, it being more useful might drive accessory sales.

DoctorWhat posted:All Wiis (and Wii Us) have gamecube innards because the Wii hardware is a superset of Gamecube hardware. The Wii Mini is just so locked-down there's no effective way to get Gamecube games to boot. And this bums me out, along with the lack of component. I love how the Wii Mini looks, but drat does it suck.

fishmech posted:Er, every car I ever had with a CD drive did it, from a cheap Plymouth Neon to my grandpa's mid-90s Buick Park Avenue we had for a while like 10 years after it was new. I've had several Sony and Toshiba laptops that insisted on using slot drives and they all loaded the smaller discs fine - up until the slot loader broke for all discs, as usually happens with slot loaders. We also used some white box PCs in middle school that had slot loading drives and our educational software often came on the mini CDs, they worked fine. And as mentioned, a decent amount of home stereo equipment that had slot loaders would handle the smaller discs. Yeah, the Wii U is the first slot loading disc drive I've owned that didn't handle them.

Ineffiable posted:Also I hope you guys don't mind a double post. I'm going down to Orlando Florida later this year and could use some recommendations for game stores, arcades or pinball places. I feel like they move it around, but there is an F-Zero AX machine on Disney property. I last saw it in the Contemporary.

Zaphod42 posted:There's arguments to be made that RGB's color space / reproduction is better and when you look at the results it seems valid to me. YPbPr isn't the same thing. I just don't buy this. Are there some good rgb vs component side-by-sides? RGB is calculable from YPbPr and vice versa. You get the same color signals. Putting one above the other seems like some audiophile-style bs that will end up with people wanting to jump through hoops to get Wii scart cables instead of some $5 component cables from Amazon. Any difference in "sharpness" probably has more to do with how some specific piece of hardware outputs those different signals than converting between them.

Yes, I've seen that and agree the Wii outputs rgb and component differently. quote:Any difference in "sharpness" probably has more to do with how some specific piece of hardware outputs those different signals than converting between them. The side-by-sides I'd like to see would be same device, same display, RGB vs RGB converted to component.

All my tg-16 interest is nostalgia from my childhood, and I never had a CD add-on.

Caitlin posted:whoa dude when did you get to be a monster? making GBS threads on Bonk's Adventure? and listing Keith Courage, which I love but is pretty reviled, after it?!  I played Bonk's Revenge before I played Adventure, and kid me thought it was too much of a step backward. I'm sure I would have felt differently about it had I played them in a different order. Also, because all my TG experience is from childhood, I got to play all the games without being influenced by outside opinion. I loved Keith Courage. There are enemies that were just giant fuckin' guns with faces. As you get further through the game, your fuckin' laser sword gets comically large. I was seriously shocked to find out people didn't like it.

Playing some Sonic in anticipation of Mania. Unpopular opinion time: I don't like Sonic 3. The music is great, but that's about it. The levels are too long and the bosses aren't fun. (Screw you electric drill thing with a spinning top in the carnival zone.) Im currently waiting for my timer hit 10:00 and kill me because I clipped into the floor and can't move. Sonic 2 > Blue Sphere > 1 > Advance > Knuckles > 3 Edit: I did like marble gardens, though. Beautiful area, loved the terrain manipulation.

Thrift store find! I never look at the magazine racks, but this was right in front and staring right at me. I love the strike games, so I had to have it. It's really neat looking into the past with old magazines like this.

Discount Viscount posted:but I do want the one Gamecube kiosk disc that had a demo of Mario vs. Donkey Kong on it for the uniqueness of a GBA demo being playable on a Gamecube disc. That sounds really cool. Do you know how it works? I'd guess emulated, but it could just be a completely different version made to look like a gba game. Or, even more interesting, a kind of alternate gba player start up disc that loaded the rom from disc.

Elliotw2 posted:It can't be the second considering that the Game Boy Player hardware literally contains a Game Boy Advance. It's probably emulation, since the Gamecube could handle a GBA emulator, and there was a product from Datel that was basically an emulator and an accessory to read GBA carts. I agree that it's almost certainly emulation, I was just wondering if it was something much cooler, like feeding game data to the Gameboy player hardware from disc somehow.
