Post by: Smash_Brother on November 19, 2006, 09:32:00 AM: ...of any photo you import.

We're playing it right now.

Post by: NWR_pap64 on November 19, 2006, 09:45:30 AM: These should take top priority.

This sounds like a cool easter egg you found, S_B.

How do you enable it?

You can access it in the photo channel under the "Fun" option and you can turn them into puzzles from there.

Post by: couchmonkey on November 21, 2006, 03:56:36 AM: Yeah, I put on a slideshow, drew stuff on people, and tried all the silly filters. The photo channel is actually quite awesome. I plan to use it instead of my camera to show pictures on TV from now on - if it's handy.

Post by: Caterkiller on November 21, 2006, 04:41:58 AM: Just tried the photo channel and it is pretty amazing. I love the music and the format that the pictures can be seen in during slide shows. I really wasn't expecting much of anything from it. I had a blast with my brother drawing things all over my sisters photos!

After seeing that my mom was pretty happy we baught the Wii. She still hasn't tried it yet, but she will eventualy even if its just for the pictures.

Post by: couchmonkey on November 21, 2006, 05:09:10 AM: I fell in love with the photo channel when I saw videos of the photos swirling around like a tornado as the user zoomed in and out. It's just so slick and well-thought-out.

Post by: Smash_Brother on November 21, 2006, 05:15:11 AM: The photo channel is like "Mario Paint meets iPhoto".

Quite a welcome addition to the Wii channel lineup.

Post by: Edfishy on November 21, 2006, 05:17:24 AM: Let's hope some firmware updates in the future can add/improve some features within the channel. It would be pretty cool to add more mini-games utilizing your own photos. Even better would be an add-on for more complex tools (possibly developed by third-parties such as Adobe, etc) to create your own textures in certain games. So for example, you could grab your face and slap it on a character ala Perfect Dark's abandoned abillity.

I'm liking Nintendo's WiiConnect24, it opens up a lot of ideas for not-really-going-to-happen-but-maybe-it-will enhancements.

Post by: JonLeung on November 22, 2006, 06:51:56 AM: Some of the facts I posted in the "Obscure Facts" topic (after stealing from GoNintendo) involved the Photo Channel, including that you can hold down the 1 button and supposedly get 194-piece puzzles. That'll be interesting to see how quick you can do it with 4 people.

Post by: MLS_man_64 on November 22, 2006, 07:12:12 AM: Hey everyone, I can't get gameplay videos to play on the Wii even though they are in quicktime, what gives?
Title: RE: The photo channel allows you to do four player jigsaw puzzles...
Post by: MLS_man_64 on November 23, 2006, 03:58:55 AM: Seriuosly, I have even tried different size movies.

The booklet even says that the Wii can display quicktime movies, what is wrong?

Post by: MLS_man_64 on November 24, 2006, 07:54:08 AM: Tried some more ideas, still can't get movies to play, what am I doing wrong.

Please someone respond!
