I'm considering doing a big, huge thread on here about the Nintendo Wii. Going through it's launch in Europe up until the Wii U hit the scene. I have huge nostalgia for the system and used to have around 200 games for it... might be fun?
Der Raspi 5 kann mehr als nur Bastelprojekte! c't 3003 Redakteur Keno hat eine Woche damit gearbeitet und sogar PS2 und Wii-Spiele zum Laufen gebracht.
well, it seems that, starting today (1st august 2023), Nintendo WFC's login servers are starting to go dead and returning the discontinued error code for all games, including the 3 remaining online ones
seems to be a gradual rollout, sometimes you can make it past login and fail svcloc, sometimes both work, but it's not looking good
The #NintendoWii continues to be my favorite console for #CRT gaming. This console received a lot of flak from the hardcore gamer crowd when it originally released, but has quietly turned into a robust #retrogaming machine thanks to a vibrant homebrew community.
Today's my birthday! 🎉 Recently I brought out my WiiFit to do some yoga since I've been having leg pain and it's a good way to stretch it out (I literally have no clue how to do just yoga on the Ring Fit). I was surprised today to see the WiiFit board give birthday greetings!
My kid and I made some custom Miis on the Wii after finding a site (https://MiiCharacters.com) that has a database of custom ones and step by step instructions on how to make them. I found (and my kid made) the David Letterman one, because I thought that would be amazing, to be able to race karts and motorcycles as David Letterman. 🤣
In Mario Kart, there's a thing where you can race as the same character. My son and I noticed that when you both race as Daisy with bikes and you both place, it randomly assigns a head to one of your characters so they won't both be the same.
So that's how Dave in Daisy's lovely yellow dress happened. A hilarious result. 😂🤣
My son, enjoying #RetroGaming just the way it was meant to be: sitting way too close to a giant CRT while his dad warns him about burning out his eyeballs 😂
