The speakers will be very useful when it comes to multiplayer. Like in an FPS, you'll be able to easily tell your gunshot from another players gunshot and etc.

I like some of the stuff and some of it I don't care about. Painless additions to the Wii that some people will use and some wont. Some people use their Xbox 360 dvd players and some don't.
I think the speakers in the remote sound pretty cool.
Just really excited about the Wii. It makes the days drag on.

Thinking about it, I believe JVIPER82 is definitly right on putting a speaker in the wiimote. I really hope there's a way to choose whether you want to hear a gun shot from the dinky little wiimote speaker or your surround sound/subwoofer. The main problem with putting such a small and under-powered speaker in the wiimote is that if you have a good sound system, you won't be able to hear the little wiimote speaker over the surround sound. Also, you're going to be waving the wiimote all over the place and that's going to distort the sound coming from the wiimote's speaker. I would have prefered they kept it out to increase the battery life and seriously, it's the only gimicky thing Wii has.

Definately some good points Nate, and I have to agree with you almost 100%. The little speaker on the Wii-mote is a waste. Honestly, as long as we can turn the speaker in the Wii-mote off, I'll be happy. Only if it's shitty quality though. If it sounds fine and it's useful rather than annoying, I'd be happy to use it. And sometimes, you just want big bass, and a blasting audio from surround sound.

And yeah, if it's somewhat decent quality, it might be nice for party games like Wario Ware or Wii Sports where the emphasis is on fun and not so much on realism and gun shots.

As always, let me state: I'm going to buy a Wii. It is the platform I want. I have no interest in the 360 or PS3. Having said that . . .
I was under the impression that Wii was stepping away from the idea of extras, the idea of having a complete multi-media hub in the center of your living room or bedroom that let you do everything?
So the following simple statement is my opinion: if the extras provided directly affect gameplay and add to gameplay, they are useful. If they do not, Wii has tried to have its cake and eat it too. It has chided its competitors for something that it has done itself.
Don't go fanboy crazy on me. I'll break it off. Why? Because I'm a newly rebirthed fanboy as well. Just my simple opinion.

Actually Nintendo is doing exactly what they said they would.They said they wanted to please current fans and attract nongamers. With the Wii Channels they can do that. I know Nintendo said that they are about games and they are. Really the Wii Channels are mainly game related with the exception of a few.
Mii Channel-Avatars for Games
Shop-Channel Buy Games
WiiConnect24 not a channel but, Game Updates & Online Play
Disc Channel-Play games
News Channel-New news on current or upcoming games
Internet Net Channel-You can surf the web and get more gaming news, from others sources than Nintendo.

Nice save. Yes, Nintendo can still add a few internet things, and still be a gaming console that is all about gaming. I consider that they included the internet on the thing, so they just added some internet features to it.
I can see the weather channel being extremely useless if you have a computer(which everyone here does). Just type in your city in google and say "weather" after it.
Wahla. You know you're weather.

Sure, but if your computer is off, then Wii is there. Also, Wii is in a constant sleep mode when not in use, so all you have to do is press the power button the the wiimote and it will bring up all the channels and Nintendo said the Weather Channel will show the current temperature and weather on the icon, so you don't have to actually go into the Weather Channel to check the weather.slurba said:
What I'm wondering is if you can just press the "home" button on the wiimote and after a few seconds the channels will show up or if you have to eject the game to do that?
I'd like to be able to just press the "home" button and bam, there's the weather and any messages that have been sent to me.
