Nintendo Wii

Will you Wii Wee with We?

Nintendo Wii + some stuffs

It's my second Wii since my 1st buy was a PAL version and I was forced to sell of to my sister as Nintendo Wii is region locked and she stays in Brisbane, Australia. Nonetheless, I got myself a NTSC/US Wii and I also bought down 2 games as stated above. (Mario Kart is not for sale.)

Wii Channel, can you guess what that game is?

Let's talk a little thing about Wii. On the Wii channel above, there are Game Channel, Mii Channel, a place where you create your avatar, Photo Gallery, Wii Shop, a place where u buy classic games and download software for Wii, Forecase Channel, News Channel, "Everybody Votes" Channel and lastly my personal favourite, the Internet Channel.

Have I mentioned using internet on a 32" LCD HDTV rocks? It really ROCKs! Let's take for an example:

Oh yea... I can view my blog on 32" LCD HDTV!

The Internet Channel is powered by Opera.

The internet is accessible by enabling the Wiiconnect24 and a wireless acess point. For me, I use the Nintendo Wifi USB connector. You can get it on Play-Asia. In the future games like Mario Strikers Charged, the game is Wifi compatible. So I recommend a Wii owner or future Wii owner to have a wireless connection.

The Nintendo Wii

The Wii itself is surprising small and powerful. The US Nintendo Wii comes with a free game which is Wii Sports. The Wii Remote or what people prefer to call it Wiimote is comfortable to hold but hand can be a pain moment if you hold you hand out to straight. While the Nunchuk consist of 3 axis and it's really lightweight. Graphics on the Wii may not be the next-gen graphics but that's not really a main factor for at least me.

For more information, you can check the Official Wii Website. Off I go swing the Wiimote. Thanks for reading.

Pokemon Pearl and Diamond Version

Goodness of Pokemon is back! Now with 493 Pokemons!

The time when Pokemon was 1st release back in the year 1995 and I played Pokemon Red Version on my Gameboy at 1997. That time I was still young and Pokemon are really famous among kids. Generations have been passing one by one and now the latest generation had appeared. The "Diamond and Pearl" version series. This time, the city is not as big as the "Silver, Gold and Crystal" version. But it's back with all the Pokemons from 1 to 493. "Gonna catch em' all!" is never going to be an easy task already. Well... even catch 251 Pokemons is way too hard for me.

The graphics are tremendously improved. Despite of its background changed in fully 3d but the character sprite and the battle system remain the same. Another interesting feature added into Pokemon "Diamond and Pearl" version is the Wi-Fi connection. Not only you can battle and trade with worldwide, you can also have a full chatting system in the games. What I mean full chatting system is that you can talk all the way in the games without getting interfere or even needed to press button "X". The storyline is pretty the same with Pokemon "Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald" version. But don't really bother with the storyline. Its pretty much the same storyline for all Pokemon series.
