I Had Finally Gotten My Nintendo Wii.

I still have one little TV that takes RF only; My brother also has one that is much bigger, which is his primary videogame tube. he's got one of those 4-way AV switches that also converts to RF. it's a nuisance.

My Emerson 20' CRT TV with composite and S-Video was only $50 new, you really should consider upgrading, Kirby.

The Wii does not have the same A/V jack that the SNES, N64 and Gamecube did.  Why not?  Because Nintendo hates you.  Each and every one of you.  With extreme passion.

Thanks, that's what I thought.

Kirby wants the rf so that the virtual console games will look more authentic!

Real consoles are authentic.

well congrats, Kirby.. that's great.. and quite adorable too !!  reminds me of when I was like 11 and had BEGGED my mom to buy me my first CD player ever..  begged and saved and begged and whatnot.. finally I scrounged up about $130 bux and was able to buy one of those very plain looking Sony Discmans,  I'm sure you know the one.  Well, that was all my money,  I couldn't afford a CD for another 2 weeks!

first CD was The Cure - Old Man by the Sea or whatever it's called

I'll never forget how clear as a bell that digital music sounded in my headphones the first time.  This is after a (junior) lifetime of cassette walkmans with dying batteries !

CONGRATS on the Wii !  You shouldve bought a Duo instead (heh) but that's cool --  you can check out some sweeeet TG games for sure !

I have made more progress with my Nintendo Wii. Due to the fact that some of my family members are in town, I have less time to spend on the computer, and therefore was unable to report this earlier.

On Thursday, I had gone with my grandfather to go shopping for more supplies for my Nintendo Wii. Since I had gift cards for Target and Game Stop, and a Reward Zone coupon for Best Buy (which I later found out that the Reward Zone card was needed for its use, making my grandpa spend more money than intended :-"), these three stores were shopped at to buy them.

I have managed to find a universal RFU adaptor that could've possibly worked for the Nintendo Wii (since it was able to connect to the Nintendo GameCube), but it was later discovered that the plugs that go into two units themselves were of a different shape. As I've read in the manual yesterday, the only cables being able to work with it are the A/V ones supplied with system itself or a separate component cable that can be bought separately, therefore meaning that I will have to get an RF modulator, which at latest will be bought on Monday. Until the device is purchased, I will spend a good deal of my time on more reaserch, finishing up on my tagged video, and possibly completeing tasks within my older games.

The games and supplies bought are as follows, with each of the stores:

Key for supplies/games:

Bold: Wii         Underlined: GameCube            Italicized: DS

Purchased from Target:

Nintendo Wii Classic Controller
Glove Kit
Universal RF Adaptor from Psyclone Essentials


Purchased from GameStop:

Animal Crossing (used)
Kirby Air Ride (used)
Bomberman Land (new)

Purchased from Best Buy:

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Bomberman Land Touch! 2

The major essentials I will need now is at least one GameCube controller and memory card to play the GameCube games, along with a few other wanted GameCube titles. These will need to be purchased at best online since they are difficult to find in actual retail stores. The universal RF adaptor purchased will be returned on Monday, and hopefully the Return Card for it will be used for a Wii Points card, for to purchase Virtual Console games with.

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 .

That was the same time that I got my own television, as a matter of fact, as the Zenith one I have was given as a Christmas present in 1995. It's a pretty good set, really, as this brand was rated to have good sound quality among most models by Consumer Reports in 2002, and I've had a good share of fond memories on it, so I don't plan on upgrading it for a long time. Besides, I do not think they make small white TVs any longer, which are best suitable for my room. Of course, I will need to get a digital converter for it by the switchover to this format on February 17, 2009...

Wait, hold the phone keyboard... your TV was reviewed in 2002, yet it only has RF? WTF!? o_0

I mean seriously, my brother's 20' Sharp from 1998 has composite...

The only TV I own that only has RF is a 1981 Sony Trinitron.

They made Trinitrons back then??? Wow, I thought they were mid-90's. You learn something new every day! 

[nat]

Hmm, now you've got me curious.....

....Apparently the Trinitron has been around as far back as the '60s.

Not specifically the model of TV that I have. In the edition I've mentioned, which was in March rating current-at-time large-screen TVs, the three Zenith models were rated with Excellent and Very Good scores for their sound quality. The lowest number of inches rated was 27 inches, and since mine is a small 13-inch television set, I can only say that my television fits within this category for sound. It may have been rated within the March 2001 and December 2001 reports, as there is a note within the details of the models stating that others were reviewed in them, which unfortunately I don't have .

It looks very much like the RF modulator for the use of my Nintendo Wii will be purchased on Monday. I will post on my first true experiences once I am able to do so.
