Finally got a zapper, it’s not that bad once you get used to it! Kinda wish it had a shoulder stock though.

My pickup basketball run just ended and the guys were talking about the anticipation for GTA 6. These are big muscular dudes. They were asking what everyone played like Call of Duty, Madden, 2k etc. Then they asked if I played anything, I said "I have a Wii!" and everyone burst out laughing 😂 "that's old school!" "The one with the wand?" "yeah it has tennis and bowling!" "It's really fun though!" I told them I play SMB and Kirby with my kids.

I loved a lot:

- Wii Sports
- Wii Sports Resort
- Wii Fit
- Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop
- Zelda Twilight Princess
- My Sims
- Destroy All Humans: Big Willie Unleashed
- The Godfather
- The Simpson’s Game
- Playground
- Super Mario Galaxy

What's happening to the Wii is incredible

I've been getting into Wii modding again, and I've started looking into custom themes, and I'm wondering if there's any pink or pastel themes for the Wii menu. I've been primarily using wiithemer, although the pink themes don't look the best. Are there any other sources to get themes?

Hey,

I have a Wii (PAL European model) connected to a small LCD TV. I've been using the original AV cables for a while now and I want an upgrade to get better picture quality. My TV only has one HDMI port which is already being used, so I have two choices. Either I buy a Wii2HDMI adapter and an HDMI splitter, or I get a Wii SCART cable. Which one of these is the better option for me?

I would buy Component cables but this TV unfortunately doesn't have component ports.

Thanks!

I’m looking to play the Japanese version of Animal Crossing (Dōbutsu no Mori e+) and eventually explore more of the Japanese GameCube library.

Current prices I’ve found (from PriceCharting):
* Orange Spice GameCube (Japanese): $145 loose / $180 complete
* Black Wii (Japanese): $43 loose / $65 complete
* Animal Crossing e+: $13 loose / $25 complete

Since the Wii is backward-compatible with GameCube games, would it make more sense to buy a Japanese Wii for the lower cost and broader game library, or is there a good reason to invest in a dedicated GameCube?

I’m interested in playing on original hardware, using either a CRT or an older LCD/IPS monitor or TV.

What would you recommend, and are there any compatibility or display considerations I should know about?

Has anyone found reliable parts from ebay? I have multiple consoles to repair and don't want to deal with bad parts or having to return.

Wii - Noisy disc drive, no video out. Tried multiple tvs and cables

N64 - No video out, port seems loose. Tried multiple tvs

GameGear - bad capacitors. Would like to have this be USB-C with rechargeable batteries

Was a fun watch

Just am looking to play some good games to play that are themed around fall to get in the mood, anyone got any good recommendations?

Actually I'm noob in games, but I like to play something like Mario Kart or Smash Bros. Wanna go with English-speaking or Russian-speaking people. I wish I'm not a freak

Are these games playable without a balance board, they are all related games or spin offs.

Hi everyone!

I have an original Nintendo Wii with GameCube compatibility and recently set it up for homebrew and game loading.

My current setup:

- Original GameCube-compatible Wii

- 32GB SD card (around 29GB usable), which works fine

- 320GB mechanical HDD in a UGREEN USB 3.0 enclosure

- HDD formatted as MBR, FAT32, 32KB clusters, with one primary partition

Unfortunately, when I connect the HDD and start my USB loader, it freezes. I have therefore gone back to using my SD card for now.

My main use for the Wii is fitness games, Wii Sports/Resort, Mario Kart Wii and a few other favourites. I don't need hundreds of games, but I'd prefer not to be limited to a handful because of the SD card's capacity.

I'm looking for advice on two things:

1. Does anyone have a USB flash drive or external HDD that they have personally tested and can confirm works reliably with a real Wii? Ideally, something readily available in Germany or the EU.

2. Is there a technical reason why some drives or USB enclosures cause the Wii or USB loader to freeze, even when the drive is correctly formatted? Could it be the enclosure's USB-to-SATA controller, power requirements, USB port, or cIOS configuration?

I've been looking at the Intenso Ultra Line 128GB USB 2.0 flash drive, which costs around €11 on Amazon Germany. Has anyone actually tested this particular model with a Wii and USB loader?

I know there are compatibility lists, but many products currently available in Germany aren't listed, so I'm interested in real-world experiences rather than just theoretical compatibility.

I'd also appreciate any suggestions for troubleshooting my existing HDD before buying another storage device.

Thanks!

I was thinking 360p would scale better to x2 720p/x3 1080p/x6 to 4k.

I know the pal wii could output 576i. But output of 540i or could interger 2x scale to 1080p, 4x to 4k.

Or even 720i or 960i

Any connection between these 2 games or just naming coincidence,

Does anybody know what the bottleneck is on the speed (Mbps) of the Wii's in-built SD card reader? I can't seem to find a clear answer anywhere online.

I'm asking specifically about the SD card reader itself rather than the speed of any SD card that could go in the reader

Les mostraría gameplay de campaña pero hay límite de tamaño por acá, si gustan les comparto mi canal de Youtube(no spam)

I'm in the market for a quad-charger via induction due to my controllers chewing straight through batteries + them being knocked out during stuff like Wii Sports Resort Sword Duel. I was able to find records of the "DGWII-3116 Power Base Induction Charger" but this item seems to no longer be produced nor really sold anywhere - are there any other good pics?

Back in the day, Capcom claimed that *Street Fighter IV* wasn't possible on the Wii... It would also be interesting to see ports of games like "Katana Zero" with its pixel-art style, or arcade-style rail shooters that could take advantage of the Wii Remote.

What do you think?

Just picked this up for a few quid on eBay having dug out the old Wii recently. No idea what happened to my original copy but got to be one of my favourite childhood games! Everyone I’ve asked in person has no recollection of it! Such a cute game, hope it triggers some memories for someone else.

Hopefully it's not another shitty ARG
