Wii wishes it was PcEngine

[Turbo D]

So, I noticed that the wii wishes that it was the pcengine. It had its innards designed by nec and it put itself in a small white box around the size of a pcengine. If that weren't proof enough, It made itself backwards compatible with pcEngine games. Yup, its true.

[Joe Redifer]

It's not backwards compatible.  I put my PCE CDs in there and they do not play.  Instead I am left to play boring Wii games or to pay to download games I already own (wow, GREAT idea!)

Hell my Wii that I purchased in February already needs to be sent back to Nintendo for repair due to video defects.

Anyone unhappy with their Wii : I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands.

Same here.

My friend runs the highest grossing GameCrazy store in the US and they are getting a shipment of Wiis on Tuesday, one of which he will put aside for me. Yay me! I guess that's only special because technically they are not allowed to do that (first come, first serve).

What kind of video defects are you experiencing, Joe?

[GUTS]

Probably really, really bad graphics and horrible gameplay, but I think those are defects that all Wii owners are experiencing.

At least us Wii owners can actually play our consoles, unlike say, our 360 owners .

[Joe Redifer]

We can't play our consoles when there is nothing worthwhile to play!  That's like having a working Ford Pinto on a boat out at sea.

Keranu, chaoticjelly is looking for you.  See the NES controller thread in the Turbo repair forum.  Jesus christ where have you been?  And since you feel that nothing should ever be moderated, I'll just throw this out there:  You god damn f*cking son of a f*ck ass!  Your mom is a whore and she had anal sex with George W Bush last night.  f*cking f*ck f*ck!

Nat:
Vertical black lines comprised of flickering dots at random spots around the screen.  This is a known issue at Nintendo and there are even Youtube videos of people experiencing it.

[Black Tiger]

I had a single vertical line of dots appear on screen while playing Air Zonk. But there were also a couple other glitches too. Otherwise, I haven't had any problems other than the ugly scanlines in Zelda.

[Joe Redifer]

My lines appear everywhere, even on the Wii menu.  The lines are in different places depending on what the Wii is doing.  For example on the News Channels they are more collected toward the center of the screen.  I haven't played any games since there are none worth playing, but I imagine they show up in games as well.  Regardless, Nintendo offered to replace the Wii outright, but I said I'd rather try and keep what is saved in the backup RAM since I have 99 Miis in there.  So I have to send my Wii to Nintendo (they pay shipping).

Black Tiger, your problem will likely get worse.  Be sure to send it in before a year is up!

Sure is why else is it getting lot's of newbies to join here 

[gundarN]

At least the Wii is getting you kids playing real games (or at least downloading them).

I don't have a Wii as I already have a PC Engine...

[Joe Redifer]

I've heard that the PCE/TurboGrafx emulation on the Wii sucks horrendous monkey ass.

That, it does with all at dot crawl and crappy scanlines 'it makes your eyes bleed  :-"
