What's the orange port for?

 

[Nallen]

Orange port is for the sensor bar.

 

[jj984jj]

Wow, that sensor bar is smaller then I thought.

 

[Fallofmart]

What's the orange port for?

For the LAST ****ING TIME it's for the VR Headset!!!

 

[HomShaBom]

****ing sex.

 

[{Mike}]

What's the orange port for?

edit ; kidding

 

[Trurl]

So, we now know that the Wiimote uses a circuit board. Cool.

Wait a minute! What's up with that guy's ring finger? Did the Wii do this to him?

 

[Bloodwake]

Awesome.

Truly awesome.

 

[mug]

You better be kidding! I don't want to go through that shit again.

 

[Borys]

What's the orange port for?

AGEIA's eXternal PPU.

$99, in stores 3 months after Wii launch.

Comes enclosed in a small white box with a blu LED writing "PhysiX".

 

[Ranger X]

That's a joke right? The orange port is for your fruit ****er.

 

[Borys]

My 1990 TV remote also uses a CB. Hell, find me one AV/ computer gadget that doesn't.

 

[:Motorbass]

They made the sensorbar smaller? Maybe so that it will operate better when you are closer to the unit. (as at E3)

 

[jj984jj]

Also, this is the best physical picture I've seen for the controller so far:

I like the look of the gloss on top of the controller as well.

 

[John Harker]

SMPLE

 

[ahmad]

nice

Will the sensor bar come with some kind of tape where it can stick on our TVs? looks like it.

 

[Warm Machine]

I thought Nunchucks were banned in the UK?

"WHAT!"




Ah, haven't posted it in a long time... :>

 

[gimmmick]

Still looks cheap.

 

[Ranger X]

:lol :lol

first time i see it

 

[Fallofmart]

Man, Nintendo really pull off apple ripoff design well. The lite and Wii are both fantastic looking pieces of hardware that don't cost much at all.

 

[ahmad]

"WHAT!"




Ah, haven't posted it in a long time... :>

:lol classic

 

[Magicpaint]

Still looks cheap.

Except it never looked cheap in the first place.

 

[ahmad]

Still looks cheap.

oh come on

 

[HomShaBom]

Still looks cheap.

Yet Nintendo still makes the most durable products out there.

 

[gjb-sensei]

Sexiest piece of video game hardware ever.

 

[wasting]

the power light on the console should be bluee

 

[:Motorbass]

Hm does anyone know if the Trigger(s) on the NC-attachment is analogue (or the B-Trigger itself)? Haven't read anything about it...

 

[slidewinder]

Console's pretty clunky looking. Still better than the 360 or PS3, though.

 

[lyre]

There's no D-terminal. Gamers lose.

 

[Trurl]

What's the orange port for?

The Wii has the sexiest vent in video game history.

 

[Calidor]

The actel chip on the wiimote confirms memory storage

 

[Cdammen]

Looks ace!

 

[Lo-Volt]

That is quite nice.

 

[Vieo]

Sensor bar looks smaller than I thought.

 

[Truelize]

I hope you can turn off the light that is around the disc slot. I would find that mighty distracting.

Everything else looks sweet though.

 

[Saoh]

i like it

but didnt know that the sensor bar had small lights.

 

[Hyoushi]

There's no D-terminal. Gamers lose.

uh... the other end of the cable is not visible in the pic.

 

[:Motorbass]

i like it

but didnt know that the sensor bar had small lights.

These are the LEDs that the Wiimote tracks.
You will not see them, but digital cameras make them visible (try with your TV remote).

 

[Baker]

No shit. That sensor bar is about 1/4 the size I thought it'd be from the previous pictures.

 

[Neko Tsukimi]

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww........... I think I'm gonna be sick....

The actel chip on the wiimote confirms memory storage

Err no... the Actel chip is an FPGA (field-programmable gate array), which is used to perform control, interface and/or security functions. Most likely to help interpret the motion sensing signals before passing them to the Wii.

It's a logic chip, in other words.

Was gonna say exactly the same thing! We use that goddamn chip at work. no memory on that, just logic like you say. Thats a fair bit of processing power for a controller if you ask me, nice.

 

[ghibli99]

"WHAT!"

AWESOME. Can't wait to see someone do an animated version. I'd love to see his routine in Enter the Dragon done with the 'chucks.

 

[Chittagong]

Wow, that sensor bar is smaller then I thought.

That's an old prototype, here's a later one

 

[Wink]

Nvmd ;-)

 

[Dimmuxx]

I said wow!

 

[muttyeah416]

dont you realize the holder of the pen is 30 feet away from the sensor bar so its actually 3 feet long
