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!

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in

By
Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in The Ryzen family of AMD's processors are here, and they're great so far. So I got my hands on one finally, so this is my Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in. First Glance This is great, AMD has finally phased out the FM2 and AMD3 sockets! It has been WAY overdue, and finally a new board and alignment has hit the market. What this means is, there can be more transistors, and components put onto the chip, which means in return, better performance. It looks beautiful, in terms of it being just a component for a computer, which is just basically a cluster of a lot of components together, as one big machine!  Specs The Ryzen 7 1800X comes stock with the core clock at 3.7GHz with 8 Cores, and 16 Threads. Also including 16MB of L3 Smart Cache. The core clock can also be turbo up to 4.0GHz with an unlocked motherboard. So far so good.  Stock Performance With Cinebench R15 I got a nice scor...

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions)

By
Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions) I'm excited to bring you this news today, Galaxy S3 users can now download the Google Play Edition of Android (As close as you will get to it) only on USA Versions as of right now. It all started when I got inspired by the sunbeam live wallpaper (How loco?). I decided to disect a Cyanogenmod Rom, first I started with AOKP, but was not satisfied by all the more options. Options are never a bad thing, but when you start with a 4.4.2 Nightly build of AOKP, You don't know where the heck the lockscreen settings are, or in fact I don't think it added any options for the lockscreen ring. They are still working on it, the rom is pretty crystal clear, and pure right now as it is. I decided to revise. I turned to the CM10.2 version, and started to play with it, luckily I soon got all the Google Apps installed correctly with no problem, and now I'm working on a revised build of the 4.4.2 Google Play Edition. I know just...

HTC 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE

By
HTC 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE HTC 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE So I have been recently checking out the Newborn HTC Baby, the HTC 10. It looks a lot like the A9 in the front, but a M9 in the back, sort of? The HTC 10 is a very serious device.. I really like this device to start off, especially how HTC brought back the stealth black color option, that really makes my day, because with my M8 I had to replace the metal housing with a stealth black 3rd party part, because the Gunmetal Grey wasn't enough for me.. However that is definitely not the case here. LET'S get into the specifications here! Yeah the hardware! This baby rocks a quad core (2 Dual core processors) Dual-core 2.15 GHz Kryo & dual-core 1.6 GHz Kryo This is on the Snapdragon 820 Chipset, and to help it along has 4GB of RAM, or Memory. This is a 5.2" Screen, using a newer technology the Super LCD5 under a coating of Gorilla Glass 4. The OS We're running here is Android 6.0.1 Marsh...
