If you could change the Wii, in what ways would you do it?

• Make better use of Motion controls
• Expandable memory
• Loading off SD card
• Slap developers in face and make them give better third-party games instead of PS2 ports
• Ethernet port cause not everyone has Wi-fi
• Menu wallapapers
• Not crappy online
• Added ability to make smoothies:D

Why on Earth would you change anything?

It's the best selling console on the market today that's sold out for it's third straight holiday season.

If you were to change anything there's a great likelihood that you would damage the numbers it has.

I don't see the point in hurting the Wii

I wouldnt change something about the Wii now. I would change Nintendo's past. I would have made Nintendo sell more consoles in the previous generations so that they had more third party support. That way they would automatically have done most of the things people wish they had done i.e hard drive (to hell with HD though, the graphics can be improved without HD - through actual effort, as Nintendo have shown). The problem is whether or not tha means they would have ditched the motion sensing idea or just made it an option rather than a main feature.

Really, the lack of a hard drive and better third party support is the only thing they need to improve. And they are working on a solution to the hard drive, while the support gets better every year, just like the DS. Other than that the Wii is perfect.

i agree, developers putting more thought into wii games couldn't possibly hurt their numbers...

...and waffles...

External hardrive

online like xbox live

graphics equal to ps3 and 360

i would be happy with just 2 additions to the wii's hardware:

1. decent internal hard drive (ex.5-10gigs)

2. more powerful processor

You only play sales

Whatever franchise you like would not be made if it didn't sell

I think it would be cool for Wii Gamerscore and more third party games.

I'd like one of the two nunchuck buttons to have been analogue, possible also a button on the analogue stick as well, you know when you click it down.

I'd like to see an ear piece that connects to one of the wii-mote channels via which you receive in-game orders etc - have a look on IGN and the October Conduit demo level videos and imagine those ordes from that guy coming to you via an ear piece while the TV plays the in-game sound, make the experience more imersive.

All the rest like HD and a but more memory for textures and AI etc has already been said.

• Load and play off the SD card
• Gamecube controller ability to access the menus
• No friend codes
• Better 3rd party
• Better use of motion controls (MotionPlus will probably answer that)

Full HD graphics

Dont think it needs a "hd", just more internal memory. Why make more heat and have something moving inside to break. Leave the SD slot for those that get crazy with the save files and VC content.

Wireless nunchuck

Allthough all this will be fixed with the Wii 2.0. :) Speaking of they better let you move your VC stuff to a SD then move back to the new Wii as like a one time transfer thing. But thats another topic for a couple years from now.

• Mic for online play
• Ethernet cord for better connection/for people who don't have Wi-Fi
• Expandable memory
• Ability to play DVDs

Better graphics, sorry but in the gaming world they are dated.

Not really the Wii's fault (well, I could make the argument but for the fanboys sake I won't) bette rgames. Way too much shovelware, way too many ports. I thought the Wii was supposed to be innovative???:?

Ability to load VC games from an SD card.

Better games on the VC. 98 percent of the VC is like 98 % of the Wiis library - it sucks

Better online. No Friend Codes. I'm a big boy Nintendo, I can keep myself safe from the pervs. Little kids??Well maybe they shouldnt be playing video games.....

Full motion control from the get go. Now old nintendo wants to screw me out of more money by making me buy motion plus.

DVD player. Not everyone owns a dvd player. (Thank God I bought a 360 or I'd still be watching VHS)

Backwards compatibil.....wow , nintendo did something right.

Motion Plus will fix your first bullet.

Loading off sd card is coming this spring

your could by nintendo's lilltle wifi dealy that plugs in to your pc if you don't have wifi

Sadly online won't be fix until next nintendo system many of us have sent them emails about online and they just send you generic answers

developers are starting to take the wii serouisly now. we're getting dragon quest 10, conduit, mad world and a whole list of other

No disrespect but you obviously don't keep up on wii news becuase most of the things you want change are beening fixed according to nintendo

Man, so many posts basically asking for Wii to be a PS3/360 clone. Kinda sad really.wiifan001

If asking Nintendo to make their console on par with quality compared to the competition, then yes

[QUOTE="wiifan001"]

If you open your eyes, you may find that the Wii has a lot of quality and features that aren't in any other console. If you don't see it, then your eyes aren't opened because they're right in front of you.born2runak

LMFAO...Yes you are right. I was blind but now I see. I will support whatever garbage you throw at me Nintendo.

I bought the wii before I bought the 360. In fact I never even planned on getting a 360. There was so much potential there and I was really excited about it. And I was like you, after a few montrhs when people started bashing it, I said be patient.

The only thing Wii has going for it are 1st party titles. It's sad that SSBB is still the #1 (right now #2) game. The problem is that the wii is a sub par system (from a technical standpoint) so anything that comes out is going to that much better on one of the other systems. Without Mario, Zelda (a gamecube port), and SSBB, the Wii would have died a long time ago. Believe me, Im the first to say that I wish Nintendo could go back to when they ruled, the NS and SNES were my favorite systems. MAybe thats part of the problem. The Wii had some big shoes to fill, and its falling short.

I'll have you know that a big problem with the Wii is that it's too technologically advanced for many 3rd party companies. The majority of the companies aren't able to figure out how to handle motion sensing hardly at all yet alone proficiently. Many companies aren't able to harness the Wii's greatness, and some gave up while others are still attempting to figure it out.

I'm looking at your sig and appearantly it shows that the Wii is selling more then the 360/PS3, and the amount of time it took for Wii to pass up the 360 was less than two years, and it even came out a full year after the 360's release in N.A. Also, if it's all JUST Mario, Zelda, and SSBB as you say it is (even though that statement is wrong), well then it further proves one statement I"ve said all along: Nintendo can handle themselves just fine without 3rd party support.

I'd give it some better games. So far, to me, the only Wii games I see as worthwhile are:

No More Heroes

House of the Dead 2+3 Return

Geometry Wars Galaxies

Castle of Shikigami III

Tatsunoko vs Capcom

Blast Works

Sin & Punishment 2 (2009)

MadWorld (2009)

Fatal Frame 4 (2009; uncertain)

...otherwise, there's just a whole lot of garbage, shovelware, and crappy mascot rehashes/sequels. Needs more variety. Sure, it's selling incredibly well, but primarily to the non-gamer crowd. I want more games that appeal to long-time gamers.

wow im sorry but you are a word that i cant say because ive already gotten in troube with gamespot 2 times for using. just because its the best selling console doesnt mean its perfect the wii has countless things wrong with it that need to be improved. dont get me wrong i love my wii but there are some things i would really like them to improve on like graphics online play good quality games and many more. and how could anything hurt the wii if they kept all the functions they had now but just added some more i mean if you dont like a function fine dont use it no lose there because you still have all the other functions that you love. as long as the keep the price fairly close to what it is and dont take out any functions there is no way they could hurt the wii

nothing really, they making to much money so they are not going to change it, but when the wii hd comes it will be perfect

Wow...this is it cause I got better thingds to do than argue on the net w/ a 12 y.o. fanboy. Waggle controls are not "technologically advanced". Take a look at the iphone 3G apps store, plenty of people have found pretty creative things to do with that. Now motion control plus...that MIGHT be a different story. My fear for that is that developers (good ones) wont waste their time developing anything good taking advantage of it. But until that comes out I wont comment on it other than it should have been available at launch instead of making my another periphreal.

have fun playing with your Wii
