Wii + WiFi

garthv

Yo yo,
Just outta curiosity, with the Wii online 24 X 7 does it come with a wireless connection?

If it doesnt come with a wireless connection, can I use this to make it wireless?

yes we are pretty sure the controller which you can swing around like a nutter is wireless.

My main boggle with it is getting a charger for the controller batteries... boo.

Yeah so far wireless is the only confirmed way (only way I know is confirmed) of connecting to Wii Connect24.

There may be a usb ethernet connection, but it has built in wlan.

BlitzKrieg

there's a video i put up earlier showing all the ports. I think there was a firewire one or usb or something on the machine, i'll go check.

There's usb ports on the back. So I assume you can hook up a connection through that?

In theory yeah because USB ports are universal and support plug and play but the Wii would have to have drivers for whatever went in there so in the end, it's pretty much upto Nintendo.

Brilliant stuff. How Random. I guess he just had to vent his excitment.

It is the ultimate "me too" post....or is it?

BlitzKrieg

can we get a mod to move that glorious post and everything after it into a new thread so it may flourish in its own greatness and grow magical butterfly wings of doom.


yes.

Cheers buddy!

BlitzKrieg

if someone can record somebody with a similar sounding voice saying Wii at about the same length of him saying drink i'll try and put a few commercials together.

I have a light tipp accent and am in cambridge, so i cant provide it.

ShiverinEskimo

Maybe we could petition Frank Kelly to record it for us?

monkeyfudge

I'm sure if you scanned through all the episodes he says something sounding like 'Wii' at some stage.

BlitzKrieg

pretty sure jack would say piss


actually be funny.

Record someone going

"No father its a Wii"

"PISS!"
"NO father WII!"

"PISS!"

"WII FATHER"

"DRINK!"

-Nintendo Wii not for catholic priests.

"PISS!"

-But ok for everyone else.

gonna see about doing this

Jim

Eoin McLove says "Wee" when refering to Father Jack's odour if thats any good.
