Nintendo Wii's Good And Bad

Why it is good - A hacker's delight - now, while I do not condone piracy

, it is still one of the major factors when buying a console in India. But more importantly, a few simple hacks can get you to derive a lot more out of Nintendo Wii that you ever thought possible.

Neither the Xbox 360 nor the PlayStation 3 are particularly welcoming towards piracy. While Microsoft's console, the Xbox, can be cracked to play pirated disk, it does void the warranty; and with the probability of Red Ring Of Death looming large, you don't want to left with a bricked console in your hands. Meanwhile, the copy protection in the PlayStation 3 has somehow still been impossible to crack for the millions of the pirates out there.

On the other hand, the Wii has been the easiest of the lot to be unlocked. Several 'homebrew' communities online have detailed instructions on how to crack the console to not only play pirated games, but also get the Nintendo Wii to perform tasks such as playing DVD video disks.

What's bad - Disdain for graphics - don't get me wrong, I realise that the Nintendo Wii is not menu to be a graphical delight like the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3. But really, when you have such eye candy available for the other consoles, the pangs of jealousy are quite overpowering.

The Nintendo Wii's graphics look outdated av best, and ignore the realism aspect of modern gaming. All the major titles are focused on a cartoon-like feel, with exaggerated animation styles taking precedence over realistic graphics. While this works for a while, over time, you start missing the good old graphics. And in cross-platform titles such as Need For Speed and Call Of Duty, it becomes painfully obvious what you are missing.
