any pic of remote and pad Wii Final Wii Development Kit

 

Argh, my eyes, my eyes! What's with the color?

Other than that, I set a bounty for one of those. Sellers contact asap


PS: NR-readers weren't extremely popular due to the fact that you had to burn special discs each time, NPDP-cart-cube was in that respect, more useful.

Apparently however, these are testing units, and not development kits in the orthodox meaning of the word (i.e u cant develop a game with those, since there's no ORCA-equivelant board in them, and no extra ram, not to mention the lack of RS 232 which nintendo used for real-time output/or RJ45 a la XBOX devkits)

I would be surprised if nintendo did debug output over WiFi. ODEM over Wifi sounds utopic too
Their only difference with the commercial units are the drive, right?

 

Looks nicer than the PS3 devkit ;P

 

Lets see what's inside!

Starts to appear all over the place

 

this green is ugly! the color of the GC NR Reader are nice

 

I think it was first sent to engadget. It was the first place i saw them.

 

Well it may be ugly but...it...just...looks.....atractive! Argh /me Wants one!

 

I like the green. It would be nice to see the Wii this colour, although... it is rather close to real Wee (albeit not very yellow!)

 

I would have loved Famicom Colors
but this green looks cool too :love:

 

The color choice seems a bit...
odd.

 

I think being odd was the point.

 

it's looks beautiful and i really really want one, if anyone got one for sale contact me (i'm dead serious on that one)

 

Would developers really let Wii test units slip out this early? And even if they did, wouldn't you also need whoever steals it to get you a controller and software discs to play? I guess then you could be one of the first to have the Wii at home, but it's gonna be out in 2 months anyway.

 

looks like an office to me, not someone's private collection. Maybe some beta testers took some pics for fun?

 

i think the first person with wii at home is that blind kid

 

That's a very cruel joke to play on a blind kid. Video games contain the word Video, to Watch - now i know there are better visuals out there than the Wii's but giving a Wii to a blind child will just make him feel worse for not being able to play the damn thing.

On this subject however, I bet that developers can make games for the blind by using the Wii's controller in conjunction with audio effects - then again, the Wii doesn't do true surround sound either.

I guess they can now start developing audio games too, alongside video games, for the visualy impaired!
