I Had Finally Gotten My Nintendo Wii.

[Game and Watch Kirby]

Today, while I was with my grandfather after we had watched The Spiderwick Chronicles in IMAX theathers, Best Buy had recieved a fresh shipment of Wii units, and had managed to buy one. We hadn't had to wait for very long, as the truck containing them had arrived when we got there and the Nintendo Wiis being sold into the stores was only a matter of minutes. The Wii purchased had come with Wii Sports, but no other game was purchased. For now in accessories, I had purchased the Nyko Wii Charge Station with it, as well.

I'm waiting to get an RFU adaptor for it so I am able to hook it up to my television set to try it out (I could use composite on another television set or with the ADS Tech Video Xpress, but since my TV is the one that is expected to be used more with it, it is best to try it out on that first). This will mean that I am able to upload video game footages again on my account, since my next priority for videos was to record footages of games from Virtual Console. I may just be able to record footages of Wii and GameCube games, too, once my library expands beyond the now-opened copies of Sonic and the Secret Rings and Trauma Center: New Blood.

Cogratulatios and enjoy! I think you might be the only person playing a Wii via RF, but hey I think that's pretty rad in a way! Wii Sports has become one of my favorite games for it's sheer fun and simplicity, something modern games have desperately been needing.

Congratulations on the Wii, but not so much on the RF. >_<  I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the Virtual Console, make lots of videos!

I can't wait to pick up the Wii, I'm hooked on bowling. 


Also, how was Spiderwick Chronicles? It looks great in the trailers.

good job kirby.

Congrabulations! You can use a VCR to line composite and output to you TV with a regular cable TV cord(this is how I played my Turbo Duo for a few years) or pick up an RF modulator(?), which are pretty cheap nowadays since they're pretty much obsolete. I think that I actually have a 'spare' RF modulator around here somewhere...

Sweet kirby! I'm also anxious to see some videos. The Youtube feature is awesome too. I just got my youtube feature going last night on my xbox media centre. It's so nice to be able to sit down in front of your TV and watch youtube.

Does the Wii even have an RF jack on it?

Congrats on the Wii purchase.  Have fun with 'er.

'Course not, just the multi-output port.  Believe it or not, some crazy company makes a RF modulator that connects directly to this port (rather than using the standard composite cable).

[Game and Watch Kirby]

Thanks a lot. I think  I might be able to get more stuff for it since my grandfather and I are going to go out again.

Well, I had asked one of the retailers at Best Buy this, and he told me that one for the GameCube can also work as well. Either that, or I can even get a Universial RFU adaptor and that can work well, too, which I've seen around before.

I suppose I could use a VCR, but the only VCR we do have is one downstairs, and that is used for taping TV shows such as Survivor on it. I wonder if an RFU 'modulator' is a somewhat simliar device?

It was a pretty good movie. Both me and my grandpa had enjoyed it much. One thing that really stands out is that the computer animation is a real stand-out for its time. I swear, too, that one of the boys in the movie (I'm pretty sure it was Jared) looked like a young version of Joe Redifer :-"!

Yeah you can buy an RF modulator, use the standard composite cable into the modulator, and the modulator will convert and output RF. I bought one a year ago at Big Lots for like $5.

Oh, wow . Thanks for telling me, Nat. I'll have to try looking for that if I don't find any RFU adaptors for my Nintendo Wii.

There is probably one available that uses the regular A/V out. Even the Duo/CG/SGX systems have an RF switch that hooks into their A/V out.

[Kitsunexus]

Doesn't Wii have that weird proprietary port that every Nintendo console since the SNES has had? You could just use a SNES/N64/Gamecube RF modulator...

[nat]

I thought I'd heard that while the Wii's port is the same shape and everything, it uses a different pinout than the earlier systems. Maybe I heard wrong.

Lol at RF signal on games in this day and age. I dont think they have made RF only tvs since mid 90ies. Any new tv will have at least composite,time for you to upgrade .
