chapperlin Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Got my gf a wii last xmas but we hardly play on it. Since she finished mario galaxy we have played on it no more than 3 or 4 times. What are they going for at the moment? With an extra wiimote ,nunchuck, mario galaxy and mario and sonic olympics?? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 wii also use ours to watch the BBC iPlayer via the TV. Beats using it as a games console I suppose probably because it's a pretty crap games console, the hype of last year has gone now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdose Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I still enjoy playing ours, albeit not as much as the Eggbox. Will probably use it a bit more now that we've finally got a balance board and Wii Fit (which I finally ended up bringing back from Sweden), especially since it confirmed what I already suspected: I've turned into a fat lazy sod.

Slim Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 To use iplayer you just go to the iplayer website with the built in browser, it auto detects the wii.

There's no doubt there's a lack of quality games on the wii, but it's still the one the kids fire up every time over the 360. My Sims Kingdoms is their current fave. I've enjoyed stuff on it this year, Super Smash Bros and Boom Blox probably my faves, Okami was a great release if you missed it on the ps2 and Mario Kart's good fun for playing with nippers and non gamers. Deffo need to own a 360 too though for some meaty games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcCann Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Do you still have to pay to get the browser? That was one of the many things that made me flog my Wii after a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 To use iplayer you just go to the iplayer website with the built in browser, it auto detects the wii. And suss out using the zoom [and the left, right, up, down] to position the window how you want it. Switch off the menu bar. Do you still have to pay to get the browser? That was one of the many things that made me flog my Wii after a month But the required points costs almost nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Found this blog re Wii and iPlayer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/200...yer_on_wii.html I presume a dedicated Wii iPlayer never did find the light of day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just fear a ninty update being downloaded that'll bugger it all up. My kids would tear me apart if I broke the thing! I'm not normally this worried, I let Dev mod my xbox after all, but the kids really do love their wii! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
