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!

Apple iPhone X is it Fisher Price? Or VTech?

By
Apple iPhone X is it Fisher Price? Or VTech? Apple iPhone X is it Fisher Price? Or VTech? That is the question many parents wonder as they buy their child the top of the line iPhone out today, and receive a VTech watch when you sign up with Sprint. $5 a month on a plan for an iPhone X and a plan on the Sprint Flex plan. The iPhone X is a very nice piece of technology I have to admit, and this VTech watch is also very nice, but I wonder why they aren't doing a promo with a first gen apple watch? The iPhone X is an amazing looking device, lack of the home button Apple loved so much, and no Touch ID, because now the FACE is everything. The new iPhone's out later this year should resemble the iPhone X I believe, but will be a plus sized as well. The VTech watch looks good as well, I would wear one, if I can cover up the VTech part, it comes with a motion sensor to make awesome lightsaber noises when you flail your arms like an idiot, and 30 different clock ...

HTC One, US Carriers, to Receive 4.4 Kitkat Update!

By
HTC One, US Carriers, to Receive 4.4 Kitkat Update! The HTC one, the ONE HIT WONDER Android Phone of 2013 will be receiving Android 4.4 Kitkat. This is great news because 4.4 is the newest Android Operating system version out there (for those of you who did not know) and so with Kitkat, this phone will be good as new again! The HTC One recently has gotten Sense 5, will this Kitkat rom be bare, or have Sense... 6?? Who knows. Exciting as that is, when all phones finally get 4.4, I'm sure Android will have something new out like 4.6 or 5.1 I don't know, they seem to move very fast, but at least you're able to get the Operating system upgrades via Cyanogenmod. HTC One has the Beats audio built in, and with root on your own device you're able to get ahold of the beats audio mod engine (How cool?) It would be really good to have an HTC One, with Stock Google Android, but I doubt HTC would let that happen through OTA updates (Over The Air) Android Guru Guy; Dayto...
