@DeLoRtEd1: VC is what springs to my mind, too. That'd be an awesome attachment for some Super Mario World-ing.

I wish i would have had that this weekend. I went to visit my family for the weekend and there was only one tv. so i had to wait until evryone was asleep to get some good online brawling in. but im not in this sort of situation enough to pay for a LCD.

This is quite clever, albeit late.

By greatly reducing the screen size, they've greatly reduced the risk of rogue, flying Wii-motes from breaking the screen.

But seriously folks, the true purpose of this add-on is to enhance the child-beating ability of the Wii unit.

Hey, I'm all for a portable Wii, especially since it would mean I could play stuff like Smash Bros, Fire Emblem and Mario Galaxy away from home.

Play on the go. I've seen Wall adapters for Car Sockets. It might not be parctical for regular Wii games, but it can work wonders for VC games.

I keep asking myself why these stupid screens keep coming out because who in their right mind would buy them. Well someone obviously is because they keep making them. ugh..

@Shindokie: Read my Messages: Sensor bar is builtin.

Would be really cool to take the Wii to work. No clue how I would convince the other peopel around me that I was working on my workstation and playing Wii at the same time, tough...

Anyway, this is handy when you go away on vacation to places where you have no TV. If only they made some sort of efficient, cheap, rechargable power suply that could power both Wii and LCD...

@Shindokie: Read my Messages: Actually from the looks of it, the black rectangles above the speakers seem to be the sensor bar replacement. I could be wrong though.

Just doing it for the experience would be cool.

Also, with the right game it would be hella fun during a long ass car journey.

I see to recall, at one point, Crecente had a Wii hooked up to the back seat tv display in his car. With a car adapter and this LCD screen, even people without screens installed in the seats of their cars can enjoy waving their arms around on the road.

It looks like it could possibly pass as a Nintendo DS Heavy...

the real enhancement would be that with the Wii's low res output the image might actually look better in this 7" LCD ove my 47" 1080p set. lol

This is clearly meant for the inevitable zombie uprising. Obviously the power will be out in most places, so you use this to capture and train a zombie to waggle.
In no time, the zombie will be hooked, and he'll shamble off to show all of his zombie friends. Soon after, the zombies will be customizing their Miis, too busy to eat people.
Then society rebuilds itself, and Nintendo will be the only game company to have a post-uprising user base.
MS and Sony will be trying to sell their wares to humans, but they'll be too busy helping rebuild and repopulate.

Very crafty, Shiggy. VERY crafty.

I think this be great for those long road tripe(or short ones) where you just need something to do to keep your mind off the drive. of course, VC titles only need apply :)

People already look ridiculous playing the Wii but if you see people trying to play the Wii with this thing then it would look a like a clown with a frown looking for his long lost mother on the fourth of July.

Modded Wii, How to use:

1- Wait for Pokemon Stadium sequel to appear.

2- Mod your Wii.

3- Show everyone your pokemans!

That is all.

I tailgate at Patriot games all the time and we always bring a TV and PS2. Pregame matches of Madden always are a good time, and more often than not they draw a crowd of envious bystanders. Good times.

You know what I want to see? A Wii set vertical with a teeny projector connected to the stand and displaying the image on the side of its shiny white... side. THAT would be useless and wonderful.

So it's basically a really big, really powerful, DS.

Sweeet.

If you could add a power supply that wasn't over, say, 300g, this would be pretty awesome. Not exactly handheld [mainly because of the controls], but very portable.

@Cheddies: Indeed you can as long as you've got a classic controller, though that still needs to be plugged into a wiimote...

Agreed. I think that it would have serious problems with games like No More Heroes.

The only thing I can come up with is if you want to play SSBB during a long road trip.

I dunno, for anyone without a laptop, control pad and some emulation knwlege the virtual console would be a good addition to any road trip - that is if you can launch the games without using the wiimote... can you?

My visions for such a thing has always been a mini-projector device attached to the wii, so you can project it onto any wall.

Isn't the PSP screen bigger than that? The numbers say ~4 vs. ~7 inch, but on that picture, it looks sooooo tiny.

This may be good for playing virtual console games in the back of a car I suppose. Thats the only place I can think of with power.

NeoAkira — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 15:13:03 MDT

Well, it's the same size as the PS3 screen, but I guess it's not too bad. I remember playing Melee on a 5-inch screen on the gamecube.

It's useful for roadtrips, but this is a definite no-no for waggle games. the GC port of Ikaruga would be a great game to play on this screen on a road trip. But I agree, a larger screen would be nice.

I wouldn't mind having this. But with it being small and the size of the sensor bar i assume there would be problems.
