I dont really like the Home menu :(
Does it need to have only two huge buttons? What about in game menu?

I have one unrelate question. If there are more than one people playing the game together. One of them decide to stop and press the power button on the remote, what's gonna happen?

The home menu is basically just like the little 360 dashboard that appears on the side of the screen on 360. You won't be seeing that much, and probably not for that long.

Of course the buttons are huge. Wtf, guys.

You need to point a remote at these things with minimal effort. 10 pixel high buttons won't quite cut it this time around, as much as you'd love them.

What did you expect? I'd rather have it at system start up than before each game though. There's always the hope that it'll be removed with a timely homebrew system flash, ala the DS and DSL! :D

Oh. I didn't realize wanting shader technologies made me a terrible human being. Forgive me for my trespasses.

I don't think it really has to do with SD. The pages are laid out in order of importance. You don't want grandma accidentally clicking "Format System Memory" when she wants to set the sound settings.
Click to expand...

Yes, because Grandma is going to be swiveling around her artifical hip, with the wiiremote and doesn't need to worry about other distractions

They wouldn't have gone any more bland and uninspired if they tried.

It's a game system, Nintendo, not a microwave.

It's a French site, so it's possible. But couldn't a US Wii have French, English and Spanish all in there?

But yeah, lets start the region free dissapointmenton again.

This looks very, very dull. I wonder what happened to the company who led the way in presentation with some of its Nintendo 64 games. GameCube and forward are just totally opposite, and it shows in this interface.

It's not going to make or break the deal, but it does look shitty.

Although the health and safety screen does link to a US site...don't the European games usually have a European link on them?

So you can easily point and click from the comfort of your couch 10 feet away, maybe?
Click to expand...

oh, it's point 'n' click? I didn't know that, had thought it would act as a tv remote when doing such mundane tasks.

I'd laugh if you had to reset the system every time you make a system change.
Click to expand...

It's every time you save changes with the DS, not every time you make one. Which means there's no reason for you to ever have to restart more than once, seeing as there's pretty much **** all to customise.

I would imagine that we'll be using the wiimote to navigate the OS. Hence the large, bubbly buttons everywhere. Much like we use the stylus, primarily, to navigate the DS' OS.

yeah, pal systems link to nintendo-europe.com, methinks this is a US wii. Don't you crazy people in north america speak spanish and french in some places? Pretty sure I've heard rumours of that before.
