Nintendo Sees Red for 25th Anniversary Consoles

[Dekasav]

Wii of Communism? In Soviet Russia, Wii plays YOU!

Surprisingly, a red Wii looks better than I thought.

This makes me want to break out the NES again.

It's still fun....

Why not bring back the original NES for old time sake? I still have a few NES games somewhere.....

True, a lot of clear consoles have been made... But that'd be kind of hard for the Wii, given its tiny size necessitates the main outter casing be made of metal rather than plastic.

[citation][nom]braneman[/nom]I wish they would release a "new super mario bro's" based on the third one, the first one is classic and all but not as good as super mario bro's 3.[/citation]
Well, that's not ENTIRELY fair, since the bar they set for 3 they've pretty much failed to ever pass. I will never forget the angry sun. Or giant world. Or sky world... Etc. Seriously, were they on drugs when they came up with the worlds? They were just too creative.

had this included the Super Mario All Stars "re-re-release" that Japan got... I might have purchased. Instead we get the same retail games as we've always had. Oh well.

Here's a clear case for the DIY'er.

they should have done a retro-looking wii (to look like the NES )

Nice "Office Space" reference (to those that don't get it).

[citation][nom]siliconchampion[/nom]Well, you know why they could never make a transparent gamecube, right? 'Cause everyone would see that it just runs on hopes and dreams.[/citation]
Since when are Game Cube jokes relevant anymore? Or, for that matter, Game Cubes?

Though as for the inner workings... They were perhaps the most pain to program, as if you went lazy in your programming, you couldn't extract as much power as you could from a PS2, let alone an Xbox. But if you painstakingly managed the resources, (especially texture memory) you could get the Game Cube to duke it out with the Xbox on LARGELY equal terms, getting around 2+ times the graphical memory bandwidth- Though memory SUPPLY was still an issue.

The same still holds true for the Wii; yes, you CAN get (non-HD) graphics to compare to the PS3 and 360, but it requires a level of effort only seen exerted for The Conduit and Monster Hunter 3. And of course, the RAM supply makes for very frequent load screens.

Color me (er, transparify me?) impressed. That does look snazzy. Though I will still note, as I can see by comparing pics, that the clear plastic casing is slightly bulkier than the normal metal one. Still cool-looking.

Now all we need is a gold-plated Wii. Oh wait, someone already did that.

If it were transparent it would be a nice comeback to the N64 transparent case back then. Remember those?
