Topic: Wii Three Kings

[UncleBob]

Probably any game that can fully fit into memory.  I know of a few GameCube games where this was possible.

Yup.  Animal Crossing was a great game for this, if you had the NES games unlocked.

I loved that Animal Crossing was one of them, the game was small enough to load into the systems memory and you could take the game out and it would still be playing. I didn't need the feature though.

I am sad to say that Mario Kart Wii does not support this online.  I didn't really expect it to, but had to try.  I was able to get the game to load, connect online, and let me swap out all the Friend Codes with one another, but it freaked out, asking for the disc after the kart selection screen.

Guess I'll need to get more copies of Mario Kart...

so are you going to take a picture of your 3 wiis next to each other?

Okay, it took awhile to get this to work.  You know how Wii-mails don't send instantly?  Guh.  I got two to light up the first time, then waited forever and the third would not light up.  So, I kicked two of 'em back on and sent messages to each other again.  Then, the other one lit up... waited forever and ever for the third to light up... finally did.

thats a sexy setup

[UncleBob]

That's (obviously) an earlier photo.  The TV in the center is a loaner, but the pic lets you see the fifth GameCube (top left, beside the small TV - it's got a mobile monitor attached to it).  The only thing that's changed since this (aside from returning the loaner TV) is the addition of the Red Wii.

After Christmas, when my wife opens her present, there'll be a Blu-Ray player there.  Eventually, I'd like to replace the Surround Sound system I killed.  Makes me sad - it was a five disc changer.  Not sure what happened, I was re-arranging everything and when I tried to turn it on, it was dead.

too much juice? are all those plugged in? if they are you need more power

[UncleBob]

They are all plugged in - to two different sets of outlets (on two different circuits).  The various components are plugged in strategically, so items that are often on (or always draw power) are spread out and items that are unlikely to be on at the same time are in the same surge protector (i.e.: it's unlikely both NES units and both SNES units are going to be on all at the same time - or that any two of them will be on at the same time... thus, they're all in the same surge protector).

None of this stuff, alone, draws that much power.  Granted, if I cranked it all on at once, well... it'd be glorious, then it'd be silent.

That's what I expected to see when I saw the title change and clicked the thread. Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Why does the light on the top Wii seem dimmer than the bottom two?

I saw a deal on Sony Style yesterday for a 1000 watt 5 disc 5.1 system w/ all the speakers for only $199.99

Well, the lights are blinking - and I just happened to catch that one at a bad time.

I'm glad that the television is just a loaner... It looks so pathetic in the middle of that setup, lol.

Oh yeah, I forgot that the light pulsates.

I didn't realize that the Panasonic Q was so much larger than a GameCube! It looks like a toaster oven...
