This is a trip
This is a trip
Yeah I remember these menus from like a decade ago and this is really weird to see. I'm honestly surprised it still works.
I don't think any of it is still officially supported, but you can get them working again if you hack your console
Time to confuse historians
Haha. I love it.
I really wish there was a website like this where you could look at the news around the world by exploring a globe.
If you have an old Wii lying around, you could always set up RiiConnect24 to get the News Channel working again.
That also works in the Dolphin emulator on PC.
I always liked going to the News Channel as a kid and seeing the globe. Also the Forecast Channel.
I might give dolphin a try. Thanks for letting me know!
The old school BBC international layout was great. I'm not sure if it was every article, but many had a side bar with a map and general facts about the country and political situation. It was very helpful.
The Wii music and interface design was so catchy. The switch interface is so quiet and barren in comparison
Yeah, makes me sad. The Wii interface was all very thoughtful. Someone was passionate about and thought creatively about the user experience. Itâs iconic in its own way. The Switch interface is all purely functional. I donât want to be in the menu. I want to get out and do the thing I intended to do asap. If you do it right, just browsing the interface can be fun and relaxing. But, maybe they stopped giving a shit because that user experience would not make them more money anyways.
Imagine telling someone from 2006 that Donald Trump would be the president overseeing a worldwide pandemic like this.
And then telling them youâll be reading this news on your wii.
Or that almost 20 years later strangers will watch a video of you reading this news on your wii on their phones.
this timeline sucks ass
The height of the pandemic was actually just a few months ago according to the numbers. Most cases, most deaths. People ignored it and now my job wants to force everyone back to work. It's crazy
lol idk why your being downvoted
I kinda think they âendedâ Covid because so many people were killing themselves.
Ok Neo-Nazi, fuck off
Lol what about that comment makes me a neo Nazi? There was a lot of people killing themselves during the pandemic, if you look it up you can find the numbers very easily
you cannot even begin to understand the scale of destruction, poverty, and starvation that government lockdowns caused. an entire generation is fucked for years to come.
You are clearly clinically insane, goodbye twat.
Yeah wtf OP, a bit out of touch much?
Wtf its litearlly only news about deathđ What a time early 2020 was. Definetley like this whole "Endemic" thing much better.
And its all cause most people arent die-hard introverts...
incredible
Damn it's been a long time since I've heard those noises
Please TL;DR
Damn, the Wii really had some good music. I forgot about the news channel music.
Remember the Wii Shop Channel music?
Started playing in my head the moment I saw the thumbnail
You just reminded me of this https://youtu.be/3ruNfajgUr0 and now I can't get it out of my head again
Kazumi Tokata I think wrote a lot of the Wii channels' music. Super talented and definitely put in a lot of effort for these Wii apps which most other companies wouldn't do for such fine details like loading screen music.
That work paid off so much since I grew up during the height of the Wiiâs popularity and I donât know a single person my age who doesnât know the Mii channel theme.
