Nintendo Wii. Is it Still Worth The Money in 2015/2016?


Wow I feel so old now.
Remember that thing, the um... Nintendo Revolution?
I mean the evil thing that would stay on standby and watch you and your family late at night as you watched movies...

Oh, uh.. I mean the Nintendo Wii..

You found yours packed away in your closet under piles of clothes didn't you? And you're wondering if it's still a console that is worth setting up..

OR

You found one at the flea market for $30-40 and you're wondering "Should I buy this?"

The answer is up to you ultimately, but I will help you find your answer.

The Games

First off, the First party games were AMAZING, with these titles especially:

New Super Mario Bros.



Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2




The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 


Super Smash Bros. Brawl


Donkey Kong Country Returns

And then various third party games made it worth while too, even with some AAA experiences on the Wii, Unlike the WiiU.

Sonic Colors was one of those third party games that only showed up on Nintendo.



Softmodding your Wii!
 This started off with the whole Twilight hack (Zelda Game..) and then got bannerbomb, letterbomb, and other exploits.

Through this you could essentially get all of the updated software you needed without updating your firmware/dashboard.

You were also able to use the homebrew channel for Homebrew apps, and playing "Backups" of your favorite games, Along with also Emulating other consoles/handheld devices.

Get Some New Gear

You should always feel like renewing, or finding a new found love for something you own, With new gear you can do just that, with some crazy custom Wiimotes. 


And then, the Pro Classic Controller.

 
 
 
You could also use a Gamecube controller instead!
But having the Classic Pro or Gamecube controller made it worthwhile to play some of your favorite Emulated or Virtual Console games! Which is also a whole other category in itself.


With Virtual Console games you were able to get the good ol' games you grew up on, like the Super Mario Bros. original, 2, 3, Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles.

 

Ditch the Composite/AV cables and get yourself some Component for the Wii!
Component actually has the ability to push out 1080P HD and then some, but thats for other gaming consoles (like Xbox 360, and PS3.)
For your HD TV make sure you set your Wii up for 480P this will also enable progressive scan for your Gamecube games, and they will look so much better, Trust me!

All in all, Personally I think the Wii is still worth the money, especially because I love the N64, SNES and NES Legend of Zelda games, and also love the Sims Bustin out for Gameboy advanced, as well as pokemon for the GBA which I am able to play all right from my living room television!

LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing?

By
LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing? Hopefully! I mean its very possible, for the Galaxy S3, and S4. I have not gotten ahold of a Galaxy S5 yet (Send me one I'll do it, thanks!) What this will consist of, again is bringing the look, the UI, and just the smoothness of the device to your older Galaxy device. Which is a new life for the older gen devices right? LikeWise S5 was such a huge hit for the Galaxy S3, I would love to participate in a new ROM, aside from my LG G2 work. Anyways I really want to do this! and I will! for any device I can, if you want to donate a device to me, for any development, I will definitely follow up on your wishes! Thanks everyone for reading this short :) AndroidGuruGuy

LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies

By
LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies I am currently releasing the D801 (T-Mobile LG G2) Builds for the D800. Basically, I am taking the D801 CM12 Nightlies ever so often, and modifying the kernel for AT&T G2 Devices. I will be releasing these every 5-10 days, until the official CM12 Nightlies start coming in for the D800, which shouldn't be too far along.  Everything seems to work so far, last week I had a build that didn't have the Display & Lights option working, but on the Feb. 21st build, it is successfully working flawlessly. Comments below, or on the XDA Thread will be helpful, also reporting to CM the issues because chances are, if you're having a bug, the T-Mobile users are too. This is version 5.0.2, and will be updated from time to time! Working: Everything I see so far. Not Working: Nothing, The Display and Lights option crash was fixed.
