Nintendo Wii clubhouse

Sure, why not! lets make a clubhouse for wii owners!

For me it would be:


40" HDTV over component cables at 480P
2x wii motes w/ Nunchucks
1x Wheel for mario kart

and for games i have

Mari kart wii
Wii sports
Wii play
resident evil apocalypse (excellent fun coop!)
super mario galaxy
Super smash bros brawl
mario & sonic at the olympics (aka mario olympics)
naruto clash of the ninja revolution (horrible game, regret buying it)
Resident Evil 4
Zelda Twilight Princess

Sounds good to me The Wii does have better titles available now then when I had one I think the main trouble was the fact that I had a 360 already.....and I like the eye candy aswell as gameplay....I know, Im shallow lol

Is Resi 5 coming to the Wii?

I'm actually surprised how many people DON'T have a Wii lol. I work in retail and the Wii is our biggest selling console. It sells 3 units for every 1 PS3, and 4 for every 1 360.

We also have a lot of people coming in to buy Wiis for friends and family.

Here you go
http://www.vdigi.com/index.php?page=...emart&Itemid=1

i know the res seems low but its actualy pretty crystal clear compared to my tube in the living room. (I dont have an HDTV or anything). I use this method to hook up any newer console to my LCD cause i like the privacy of my room and i like my LCD better than our 27" tube.

added random, and looked at that vdigi... apparently it ONLY works at 480P, doesnt work at 480i - you lose gamecube/classic game compatibility

I think what they are saying is a load of bullocks. My first impression was that Wii only went up to 480i and with that being said i still purchased the cable and everything works fine.

i read up on it, it says the classic games are reported to have problems, and non-US users have the most problems (the adapter is designed for NTSC 60Hz, not PAL 50Hz)

the wii gun is actually just a plastic cover/enclosure for the wiimote. So... no.

(while buttons and tilting are done via bluetooth, the POINTER is done via Infrared - unless you have an IR sensor, its a no go for you)
