      That's exactly how I feel. And I bought my Wii in 2012, nearly at the end of its life cycle. By now it's well and truly obsolete, except for the games I still enjoy playing on it - I'm glad I'm still able to.

      @SapphireChaotix yeah. I was 13 years old, when it launched. And I know I was absolutely excited about those motion controlls, but of course could never get a damn console.
      Now I'm feeling old as shit and I've also came to the logical conclusion that forced motion controlls like on the wii absolutely suck. It had great games tough. Just a little less motion controlls would have been nice.

      I mean, I assume this entire thing around encryption is also at least part of why the Internet Channel fails, or more to the point it’s the outdated SSL versions involved. The modern web is fairly ruthless about backwards compatibility because many older TLS/SSL versions can be used to attacks even on connections that should use more modern versions.

      The Wii's internet was never very good. Just use a computer or even a phone. Even a basic phone is multiple times faster internet than a Wii, when the internet actually worked.

      There's not much point to it now anyway, pretty much everybody has a smartphone now or even a computer, those have like at least 10x the specs that the Wii had, the Wii also wasn't HD on top of that. For the time when smartphones were hardly a thing and many families had one computer and most online content wasn't HD anyway, the Wii Browser was decent though.

    I remember, originally you had to pay to download the browser in the early years of the wii. Later on they made it free, but they gave out a free nes game coupon (which was the same prices as the wii browser before it going free), I decided to get Final fantasy just because. I don't think i actually beatened yet holy shit

    Browsing the internet on a Wii was painfull especially having to use the virtual keyboard with the remote. Similar to using the DS/2DS/3DS to brownse the internet but at lease that had a stylus/touch screen for typing inputs quicker. Great that they added USB keyboard support in later versions for the Wii.

  • @SKCro.
    @SKCro. 3 роки тому +1

    7:05: Even if the UA-cam page DID load, it would not be able to load any videos because the Internet Channel doesn't support HTML5 at all. The Internet Channel was made back in the day when videos were in Flash format, which, of course, is no longer used at all by pretty much *any* website.

    The Wii's Internet Channel was my first proper exposure on exploring the wonderful world known as THE INTERNET at my home back in 2008. It changed my life forever. Never stopped exploring the internet ever since.
    Wasn't the first time I was exposed, I remember when I was introduced to the internet at school around the late 1990s.

    Dude, personal recommendation here: get a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle. It's USB 3.0, records up to 1080p30 and 720p60, it's sorta cheap, works with OBS and has input and passthrough ports for pretty much anything you might need (HDMI, S-Video, Composite and IIRC even Component?)

    It could be that these websites load the mobile version because you usually test old browsers on old hardware with a low resolution. And screen size (resolution) is the most used way to toggle the website to or from mobile view.
