Talk:Wii/Archive 3

message: Nintendo hasn't yet spoken about all Revolution specs. However, someone who has accurately informed about XBox360 specs in the past has released a set of specifications Nintendo may be considering  (search for a message made by Han Solo). As I said, only rumours, but being he part of game industry and his accurate specifications of the XBox360 in the past may give him some credit. -- ReyBrujo 16:35, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: We already have a rumor on its specs.. Do we really need another one? ---Omega21 22:34, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really, just pointing out there are rumours about it coming from someone who seems to have contacts. If these rumours are later confirmed by Nintendo itself, one may deduce Nintendo does wait for technology to become cheaper in order to introduce a more powerful console, as it did with N64 and GC, instead of entering the market first with a less powerful machine. -- ReyBrujo 00:56, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should wait until more sources can corroborate this. Right now this can easily be just something made up. Anyway, doesn't have a place in the article IMO. Jacoplane 13:44, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure it has a place in the article either, but places like evilavatar have cited it, so it is getting some press time. For now I've seriously shortened the blurb, and made a reference link to the original posting. Also, does anyone have a link to him correctly predicting the 360 specs? I see it cited as fact in a lot of places, but I'm reluctant to just assume it to be true. --Codemonkey 21:41, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems someone posted the specifications in TeamXBox forums, which were quickly deleted.  -- ReyBrujo 22:28, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  More specs rumours 

message: Should we have a section on the reaction to the Revolution?  For example, I have seen a number of people state that they won't be getting one since seeing the controller. Sonic Mew | talk to me 18:55, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't like the reaction page in Game Boy Micro, it is basically POVs. There can't be reactions to the console, only to its controller, which limits the feedback. Unless they come from game developers, who know what they are speaking, it is a very "flameable" topic. Besides, most developers agree the new controller is a good thing   , and I am afraid casual readers may believe the article to be biased. -- ReyBrujo 19:49, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly, we want to mention the positive feedback as well, which is the only type I've seen from the professionals. Sonic Mew | talk to me 17:59, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Two comments. One, insulting people by calling them "illiterate teenagers" is not the way to get people to do what you want. Please take a look at WP:WQT. And second, a lot of the corrections you list are corecting something that was spelled corectly on the right side already. It's the context that makes the spelling right or wrong (e.g. it's should be used when you want to say 'it is', its when you need a possessive). So this list isn't all that useful either.--Codemonkey 01:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I obviously put the seen mistakes on the left.  If you couldn't understand the above, that is your problem.  And whether or not the headline is an insult is the reader's choice; the headline was a statement of fact. lysdexia 03:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Common spelling errors

message: The line:
:Final version could be smaller than the presented E³ prototype, "about the size of three stacked standard DVD cases" (as quoted from the conference).
Was changed to:
:Final version could be smaller than the presented E³ prototype, "and the final version will be two [DVD cases]" (as quoted from the conference).
I reverted this change as I'm guessing the first version was the actual "quote from the conference." Am I mistaken? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Garrett Albright (talk • contribs) .
:I believe you did the right thing. I'd have to look it up, but I'm pretty sure the quote was 3 cases. --Codemonkey 10:29, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I second that remark... I am sure it was three... I am going to look up on that be right back. Jackie Moto 03:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Quote changing

message: Is it just me or does it seem unlikely that there will be both wifi (for NDS, and perhaps networking), and bluetooth (for the 'revolutionary' controler)? I have pretty much never seen a device except some laptops that support both. They are generally viewed as competing technologies despite being somewhat different in the way that they actually work. Besides it would seem like it would be cheaper to only need to include one of them in the console. The controller being Wifi rather than bluetooth seems a bit more likely, or perhaps there will not be support for the NDS. Your thoughts? 199.218.240.5
:Not really. Besides that they have explicitly said that it uses both Wi-Fi and bluetooth (or at least a proprietary variant of it), they are two different technologies. The advantage of bluetooth is that it's reasonably power efficient, but it has relatively little bandwidth to send data over. Wi-Fi is going to be used to hook it up to the internet, per Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. I'm guessing they're going to use the DS's local wireless capabilities (not Wi-Fi, I think it's also a proprietary bluetooth variant) to hook it up to the Rev. --Codemonkey 23:57, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I assert that NIFI is indeed a form a WIFI. It does not use IP as layer 3, it uses short preamble, and to be strict it does break WIFI spec in one tiny area, but it is definately WIFI. The fact is that people just assume that it is not because it does not use TCP/IP or even UDP/IP but that is not required by the WIFI spec. The local connection is most definately not bluetooth based. From a comment I posted on talk:Nintendo_DS: Darkain explains that the DS uses only wifi on a page at his site. (Pedantics may note that the DS deviates just a tiny bit from the 802.11b in some areas, but this makes no difference to the argument as a whole.) Of some note is that based on his description, while a Wi-Fi *router* will not work with the DS's Layer 3 Protocol, a Wi-Fi *hub* (I don't think these exist) would work as a range extender by repeating the raw MAC packets.

thread_title:  Wifi AND Bluetooth? 

message: Jim Merrick recently said that Nintendo will not divulge the full spec sheet for the Revolution, saying it's irrelevant. I added this info to the hardware spec location, but if someone thinks it belongs somewhere else, please discuss. -- VederJuda 02:14, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Stupid question but does that still take effect after it has been released?? Just woundering. Jackie Moto 03:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: No specs?

message: What is this [] doing on the Revolution page? It's obviously a photoshopped image by a fan, badly done at that. The "Revolution" is a codename, there's no reason why Nintendo would make a logo for it. I'm going to remove the image, and unless someone can prove that it was taken directly from Nintendo or a design firm affiliated with them, it should stay down. Even to illustrate a pount. the last thing Wikipedia needs is badly-done photoshopped pics. --Marcg106 22:30, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a slide from the pre-E3 2005 Nintendo press conference, where they presented the Revolution for the first time. The same logo in a somewhat more stylised form can be found on the initial batch of Revolution promotional pictures on the Revolution console (the black ones). --Codemonkey 00:53, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember that image, the word "REVOLUTION" with the different sized discs was a prototype logo that Nintendo created for E3. -- VederJuda 00:57, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: They are still using a version of that logo for promotional material btw. From their last press event a few days ago (mostly DS stuff), see part 3 for Revolution related stuff. --Codemonkey 01:04, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Also note the logo (which is official) was used on the prototypes for the system. See . K1Bond007 02:30, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: yea you fools are all right, that logo was from E3 and also a prototype. Even if it is real. By the time they release the logo, it would and will have changed >x<ino 10:13, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Possible Revolution logo"? 

message: Will the console also respond to BBFC, BPjM etc. rating systems? Also, will the console block all AO rated ESRB games (I wouldn't be suprised, Nintendo doesn't normally allow them anyway)? smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 16:10, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that the rating system depends on where the Revolution is distributed, so that if you recieve an American Nintendo Revolution it would only follow the ESRB though if you recieve a Brittish Nintendo Revolution is will follow the BBFC. Also, Nintendo has had a history of not trying anything too extreme so most likely AO games will be out of the question--TBC 07:20, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: What I more meant was region; were I to take a copy of say Mario 128 from the UK and play it on a US Revolution, would it play or not? smurrayinchester(User), (Ho Ho Ho!) 21:12, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Currently if you tried that with the Gamecube you would be region blocked.  On the other hand if you had an Action Replay with the freeloader option on then you could play games from anywhere on your Gamecube.  Most likely they will stick with the region block just to save some $ so they don't have to make multi language games. Jackie Moto 03:29, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Parental Controls 

message: It says that the controlller will be able to do something to do with "yaw"...whatever that means...I do not know, so naturally, I clicked on the link. It took me to a not-so-helpful disambiguation page...If a simple short description would be added in brackets there of what yaw actually is I'm sure people would benefit.
...Unless I'm just being simple.
Apologies for the infinite clones, last time i tried to delete things on a discussion page it deleted the whole page, so could someone fix that for me? thanx, and apologies. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vimescarrot (talk • contribs) .
:Bye bye nasty clones...
:Anyway, "yaw" is one of the directions that an object can move in 3D space. If you stand up and turn left or right, you are changing your yaw. -- VederJuda 17:17, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

All you have to do is...revert and at the side note, why the article has been reverted, state the person is a "fool" like me:P
