Official Nintendo Fanboy Smugness & Gloating Thread

I've demoed every game I'm curious about but not sure on. I've found a brief ROM hunt turns 'em right up. Anything good enough to keep gets bought, and if I forget about it afte a day or two then I don't bother.

Having a way to do it on the console would be nice, though.

I changed the batteries on my Wiimote, no real change. Though I did somehow get into the sensor bar sensitivity menu, and instead of 2 white lights, I saw the entire screen bathed in white, regardless of sensitivity level. Could it be my television? It is rather old... I know it isn't sunlight, since my room's away from the sun, and I need to have a lamp on almost 24/7...

If the screen is bathed in light, and its not the wiimote at fault (test another one if you got one, but its unlikely), then its something in the enviroment.
Look around you, is there a heater reflected in the tv?

Point the wiimote about, try to work out whats causeing those spots.

What kind of lamp? can you play if you close the curtains and turn it off?

I did hear some lamps can interfere with the Wii, so I usually leave it off while I play. As for when I point the Wiimote around, the whiteness only occurs when I point it near the TV, which is why I am thinking it is my television..

That's a bit weird, is your telly particularly old?

TheMysteriousSirPaul · Wed May 02, 2007 9:07 pm 0

Yes it is. It's almost 30 years old. Had to get an RF adapter to plug it into my television.

Would seem to be so :-/
Allthough I have used it on old tv's too.
Theres nothing that the tv could be reflecting?

That's probably it then, emitting tons of IR you can't see.

Bit worrying that actually, makes you wonder if there *might* be health implications, especially since newer tellies don't seem to do that.

yeah... very worrying. If it weren't for the fact that I'm now broke, thanks to the Wii, I'd get a new TV..

*wonders how the Wii would work on his 6" travel television*

I have a large window above my TV which when the sun is nice and shiny does interfere with the sensitivity. I've also found that placing the sensor bar on top of the TV works much better than below.

Nice to see five Wii games in the top ten.

Apparently there are no PS3 games in the top 50.

Considering that every single person in japan must own about 3 PS2s by now, it's surprising how apathetic they are to the PS3. Even though Sony say that everything's fine and dandy, they must be fouling themselves right now.
