Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro
I think all the aforementioned consoles have something good to offer. Wii is more family oriented in their games while playstation consoles are traditionally more 'hardcore' gamer oriented, with more shooters and racing games available. Each has good games, so it is primarily a matter of what type of games appeal more to the potential buyer. As far as accessibility most games have some barriers for us blind gamers, but I do play some fighting games on ps3 a lot, and gotten pretty good at it. The hard part in video games is to always memorize the menu set ups and stuff when there is no audible feedback to let you know where you are at. When I play ps3 I usually have some sighted person play me and they set up the game and stuff. chrissy --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro
The wii should be connected to the tv and then of course the ac adapter for electricity your wall outlet for power. At least this is the way my ps3 works. After that you have to find the right av channel on your remote control also. Then you will get a set up screen where you will need some sighted help to adjust certain things like date, time, resolution etc. after that you will always get some kind of welcome screen. I don't know if wii plays a jingle or not. Ps3 does not but I can always tell once the hard drive inside starts spinning that it is getting ready to start. chrissy -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of sal Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 9:32 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro Hello I am wondering about the connection of the wires I am connecting the wii to my cable box and have it powered on with the sports cd inside does it make any musical sounds? or am I going to have to put in a music cd to see if it plays anything so I can figure out with wire is what thanks - Original Message - From: ChB chr1...@gmx.de To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 5:16 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro I think all the aforementioned consoles have something good to offer.

As far as I know, there is no GTA for the Wii, but my brother-in-law says that they have Bully, which might be worth checking out. They also have Mortal Kombat, which I definitely want to get, and a boxing game called Punchout that Lliam Ervin did a podcast on, but since I missed the show I can't tell you much about it except that you face contender after contender until you become champ.

I am glad to be on this list and look forward in meeting you all. I was wondering about the wii, I just received one today and have checked out some of the archives on this list and the podcast on be c t. I was wondering if the setting up of the wii out of the box is possible for some one that is blind or is sighted help needed the instructions seem pretty good on the Nintendo site but just curious on some more tips. also besides the sports game what other games are as accessible in playing? has any one played the resort game, and does the wii have that game like ps 3 with the taking of cars and shooting people in the streets of new York? thanks for the help Sal --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

thanks for the help yeah looks like that is the thing on here also it dinged at me and that was about it. thanks again for the help Sal - Original Message - From: ChB chr1...@gmx.de To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 1:01 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro The wii should be connected to the tv and then of course the ac adapter for electricity your wall outlet for power. At least this is the way my ps3 works. After that you have to find the right av channel on your remote control also. Then you will get a set up screen where you will need some sighted help to adjust certain things like date, time, resolution etc. after that you will always get some kind of welcome screen. I don't know if wii plays a jingle or not. Ps3 does not but I can always tell once the hard drive inside starts spinning that it is getting ready to start. chrissy -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of sal Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 9:32 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro Hello I am wondering about the connection of the wires I am connecting the wii to my cable box and have it powered on with the sports cd inside does it make any musical sounds? or am I going to have to put in a music cd to see if it plays anything so I can figure out with wire is what thanks - Original Message - From: ChB chr1...@gmx.de To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 5:16 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro I think all the aforementioned consoles have something good to offer. Wii is more family oriented in their games while playstation consoles are traditionally more 'hardcore' gamer oriented, with more shooters and racing games available. Each has good games, so it is primarily a matter of what type of games appeal more to the potential buyer. As far as accessibility most games have some barriers for us blind gamers, but I do play some fighting games on ps3 a lot, and gotten pretty good at it. The hard part in video games is to always memorize the menu set ups and stuff when there is no audible feedback to let you know where you are at. When I play ps3 I usually have some sighted person play me and they set up the game and stuff. chrissy --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro
Hi sal, Hope you get it figured out so you can play. It is really tricky because if you have no clue what is going on it is next to impossible to fully get oriented, as usually all set ups required to get into the games will have no really audible feedback to let you know what choices you made. Most times it is just sounds. One of the fighting games for ps3 gives you the name of the characters when you choose them, as they all have different weaknesses and strenghts. I end up playing the same character now always as I was able to figure out some good working combos for him. So maybe if you can get someone to first explain what is going on on the screen, it is a lot easier to try and memorize the layouts for each game. It would be awesome if someone would come up with some sort of jaws like screenreader that you could integrate into consoles. But I guess the market would be too small and such a reader would cost way too much. But it would be cool to see if more blind gamers would then try out and enjoy some mainstream videogames. I also have a psp with tekken and stuff to play on it.

Hi Cory, No, all the evidence seams to indicate he is under the influence of something. In other words he is drunk. He wrote a few messages that I have blocked that were personally aimed to me and the other moderators, bashed a few games by name, etc. Upon reading these messages I'm fairly certain it is Shadow Dragon sending the e-mails, but his judgment is impaired at the moment.
