Here's What A Wii With A HDD Looks Like

Looks like the Nintendo World Store has gotten the Wiis with hard drives, just like the ones the Starlight foundation is wheeling around. Why can't we get a setup like this?! Thanks to Kolma for the heads up.

its still crap.......unless a hdd adds actual "this gen" graphics and more than a few hardcore games....its still a waste of time

LegendarySins5680d ago (Edited 5680d ago )

The Wii still deserves its place on the Market, use your 360, pc, or ps3 for your hd real hardcore stuff. Wii has still got enough good games on it to make it worthwhile owning. I would absolutely love a hdd to come out for it, with ability to rip your games to the drive. You simply cant beat having your games built into your console (basically what it is). Browsing through them is so easy and effortless, and also you find yourself having a quick go on things that you normally wouldn't; due to the fact you dont have to change the discs so often.
Bottom line is it makes life easier, how is that a waste of time for those of us who want it?

I'm all for it, sign me up.

that statement is wrong in so many ways.

1) Graphics alone don't determine if a system is next gen. but even in that concept, the Wii is next gen because it's way more graphically powerful than the original xbox.

2) It has hardcore games. MP3, TP, MOH:H2, The Conduit, MadWorld, Man Hunt 2, GodFather, SSBB, Fragile, Fatal Frame 4.........need me to keep goin?

3) Crap doesn't sell over 30 million copies in only 2 years.

may seem dumb but i dont know what this means? does this mean it will have more hardware space and better graphics? or what i dont understand.. someone tell me.

Shoko5679d ago

A hard drive is for data storage. The more space the more stuff you can store. That's it. Hard Drives don't make a system stronger or anything like that. They're just for memory storage.

Here is what a Wii with a PS3 looks like, it's between the arrows

>>>>> <<<<<<<

Yup, it looks like nothing! an hdd isn't going to make me turn my Wii on. I even offered to give it back to my GF and she said, "naw, just leave it here."

kunit22c5678d ago

deeznuts you dont know what your talking about, if you are trying to insist that the wii doesnt have games you are way wrong it has ALOT of games comming, and as for that girlfriend thing who wouldnt take a free console?? seriously that sounds like BS i took my friends Xbox when he offered it to me, and that was during this gen, i took it just to have it, or i could sell it but i havnt, and for proof that the wii has alot of good games coming here are some videos of only like 75% of the games coming to Wii its just i dont like the other ones but who knows maybe you would.

Not bad. It's definitely handy. I'd buy a Wii for my sister or girlfriend. Girls seem to love the Wii for some reason.

jkashuba075680d ago

That looks pretty kool with the ability to browse through your games like that. Judging by the amount of games on it, looks like its going to be fairly good amount of space, I'm guessing 40 or 60 they'll come out with

M_Prime5680d ago

but does it only play those games? where are the channels? how do you put wiiware on that?

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

FinalFantasyFanatic12d ago

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos16d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8816d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies16d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
