It's finally come to this.  After the wonderful trip down memory lane for the 360 some time ago, I thought it would be a nice venture to have a look at all the memorable moments of the Nintendo Wii that we've loved and shared.  Prepare to get emotional.  Prepare to laugh, prepare to cry, but most of all prepare to learn, as "Wii" look back on those many months of Nintendotainment.  Enjoy!



Processors:

    * CPU: PowerPC based "Broadway" processor, made with a 90 nm SOI CMOS process, clocked at 729 MHz
    * GPU: ATI "Hollywood" GPU made with a 90 nm CMOS process,clocked at 243 MHz

 


http://www.wiidamage.com/





And that's all for now...what else will be added to this Gallery dedicated to the life of the Wii?  A Tombstone???  Ah who will care a few months down the track anyway? 

:'(

P.S. I hope everyone enjoys my new sig banners!  They're a hoot!

:'(

My Wii's wristrap broke...luckily it flew into the wall and not my TV screen. :P And it was fine after taking a heavy blow. The strap hasn't snapped since I manually repaired it.

Convienent how you block out the word "Great" underneath the 8.8. Oh well. I'll let it slide for two reasons: 1. It's Yo_Foo. What do you expect? :'( 2. Your sig is friggin hilarious.

That scared me. At first glance, I thought you had a real gufu tag in your sig and my mind jumped to figure out who the hell let you in :P The "Eat at Joes" variation was much better though, I forget who did that one. I fail to see how the original post constitutes Wii ownage in any way shape or form. It wouldn't be difficult to come up with similar lists for any console, or any electronic device for that matter. Everything has it's disappointments. Not until perfection is achieved will that change.

But it was taken care of after that so it not a problem anymore, and there are warnings about using the wii controller in games like wii sports.

Not from previous posts you wrote.. Seriously, do you even own a system? Are you some kind of conspiracy with Jack Thompson in a plot to throw gaming, but jumping ship and trying to down each console? Next month, he will be hermit or something..

Funny enough I was foolish enough to buy a wii like i did Xbox last gen, I suppose i will never learn. I will only turn Lemming if say like all the games exceed expectation and that is unlikely.

The theory at work here is that because Zelda was slightly disappointing, the Wii "flopped"

perfection has been achieved before - in Deus Ex. And PS2 I guess was right up there on it's fringe. :'(
