After an extensive play test tis weekend, Joystiq’s Kyle Orland has a list up of top ten things you might not have known about the Wii. Any of these a surprise to you?
- It doesn’t play CDs, but it plays AVIs off your digital camera’s SD card.
- The flaps that protect the Gamecube controllers and memory card slots are removable.
- Wii Sports includes training and workout modes.
- You can let one remote control all four players in Wii Sports: Tennis.
- It takes five pieces of heart to make a heart container in Zelda: Twilight Princess
- The box includes two clear plastic holders: one for the sensor bar and another that acts as a stabilizer for the thick, gray console stand
- When used as a pointer, the Wii detects how far the remote is from the sensor bar.
- The system keeps track of your cumulative play time for all games, and logs it on your Wii’s daily message board.
- The standard A/V cables that have worked on every Nintendo system since the SNES do not work on the Wii (the system-side input is different)
- The system doubles as a great whiteboard.
