Wii Console Official Factsheet |
Ó
We got a copy of the official factsheet for the Wii console just now, and the factsheet runs down all the necessary stuff you'll need to know about the console, including the specs, CPU, and GPU. Let's get down to business, shall we?
As already mentioned in our NewYork updates article, the Wii is set to launch on the 19th of November for the price of $249.99. The console will come in just one color...white. The console measures 8.5" long, 6" wide, and less than two inches thick (157mm x 215.4mm x 44mm). The overall look of the Wii is that of a compact design that can be displayed vertically or horizontally, and looks like your ordinary tv setup add-on.
Channels, Media, and Communication: The Wii Channel Menu will be your main gateway for interactive multimedia, entertainment and communication functions, the latter of which can operate even when the console is turned off. Thanks to the WiiConnect24 service, the system updates itself even when in an idle state. Wireless connectivity options include IEEE802.11 and USB 2.0 LAN adaptor. The Wii is also compatible with the DS for wireless communication. A single self-loading media bay can play both single or double-layered optical discs, as well as 8cm Nintendo GameCube discs.
Controls: Up to four motion-sensing Wiimotes can be simultaneously connected via Bluetooth technology, and the wireless signal is detectable within 10 meters of the console. The Wii Remote controller includes rumble feature, a speaker, expansion port, and can be used as a pointer within 5 meters of the screen. Buttons on the Wiimote are: power switch, plus pad, A & B, Minus, Home, 1 and 2. The Nunchuk controller has an analog control stick as well as C and Z buttons. Both controllers have a three-axis motion sensor.
Virtual Console: The Wii will have access to titles originally released for N64, SNES, and NES. The virtual console will also have a selection of Sega Genesis titles as well as games from the Turbo Grafx16 console.
Specs: 512MB internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports, built-in WiFi capability, SD memory card slot
GPU and CPU: PowerPC CPU (aka Broadway) made with 90nm SOI CMOS process, and is developed and manufactured by IBM. The Graphics Processing Unit is being developed with ATI.
Other features include 4 ports for Nintendo GameCube controllers, two slots for NGC memory cards, AV multi-output port for component, composite, or S-video. Let us know if there's anything else you need to know that we haven't covered, or keep checking back with us for more updates.

will it support basic ethernet broadband?
If you look on the back of the wii there is no ethernet port. You need to connect it to a wireless router or use a nintendo wifi dongle.
woot woot I cant wait till i get my Wii
no cpu ,gpu,numbers.i have to know the clock speeds,what is nintendo trying to hide
What does it matter? At the end of the day all it is, is numbers. Doesn't matter how fast the thing runs. If the games are great the games are great, simple as. BTW if you want wired ethernet you can buy a usb device that plugs into the back of the wii. Or you could save ur money and buy a wireless router for under £40 which will save you a helluva lot of hassle.
how much space is on a Wii disc?
9GB, just like 360
I would just like to clarify what type of format they will be using to save the game data of the Wii games.
You can expand the memory of the Wii by using SD cards. AND external hard drive via USB 2.0. Stick that in ur pipe n smoke it Sony (we're offering 60GB hard drive for you to fill up with nothing because our distributable online media system will fall flat on it's face, as the average broadband user can only get 1-2Mb/s and it would take several weeks of constant connection to download HD movies let alone games!)
do you have to point at the Wii bar or can you point at the tv. And how does it plug in to the Wii
so is the headsert rumor busted
Does anyone know if you can use the DS Wi-Fi USB connector for the Wii?
well i will gladly pick a 360 talkless of a ps3 inplace of a *****ing gamecube in another plastic body
does it come with component cables?
gjhgj
Can it like play old gamecube games? and um is this the real thing like can i go inside IT!!!!??? woot???VIRTUAL??!?!??!VR?!??!??@!
It's a suped up Gamecube with a new controller. Here we go again.
Do you know if the wii will be able to play online with the ds's usb connector and not just with a wireless router?
It'll come with the component cables in the box along with the standard AV cables too. Not sure about the DS usb connector for online but I mean what's the prob with wireless it's hassel free. 'the' you can just stop coming into the nintendo forum really we know your not going to get one you don't have to work out your fingers on the keyboard just to type random hate
