  • now i know why they called it the Wii. Wii stands for "What's In It?" lol XD

  • Its great to see the electronics inside the different video game consoles, great video!

  • I don't know why people always say that the Wii was released to compete with the PS3 & Xbox 360, it really wasn't because Nintendo have went there own way on the Wii, it's been created as a whole new idea of gaming.

  • lol i remember when my mom flipped off and threw the wii on the ground it broke but we got it fixed

  • 240p we met again -_-

  • Ydgfyhgdhyyjhuuuufgujfhdfszzbx­vmxmznznnxmnnxmsjslsksmmddddrr­fjddxxmznznjxhxzd

  • @jeff840354 NO

  • I goon my wii to look up youtube videos, its a bit slow getting to a video or anywebsite, but once it starts playing the video its fine, is it possible to change the RAM or processor to have faster internet play?

  • @TheWingait no

  • @ooplah3344 -_- yu do realise my comment was a month ago and not only that but all yu can say is no?

  • @TheWingait no

  • I love the Wii! I always wondered what it looked like inside! Thanks for the video!

  • That coin-like battery, what does it do?

  • @ShiningTufke its probably a CMOS battery that would make it so you could save settings and such when you unplug the system the data would not get lost. When the CMOS battery is dead your system will reset to factory settings and you will be prompted to set time/date every time you turn the system on.

  • @DROIDFARM So that's why the wii was send to october 2008! So it's broken?

  • @ShiningTufke If your wii keeps setting the date back to 2008 (or any year that you did not set it too) then it maybe that the CMOS battery is dead/dying. The Wii will still work and things like saved games will still be okay but some little things you may have already noticed like the date/time will get reset and that can be annoying.

    So yes the little coin like battery (CMOS) might very well be dead, but no your Wii should still be okay over all.

    The little battery can be replaced if you like

  • @DROIDFARM The problemo is that my wii can't read discs. Motherboard fail?

  • @ShiningTufke It is more likely a disc drive issue. Which may be able to to be fixed. What happens when you put a disk in your Wii? Have you updated the Wii? It is unlikely a software issue but just to be on the safe side update your Wii.

  • Wow.. lot more than I though in there based on graphics performance. Figured a relay or two at most and the LED with its resistor.

    Who would have known?

  • Why are are those things green

  • "Compared to the playstation 3 that S.I. took apart previously the Wii is considerably less complicated".Well no shit sherlock you would think that the playstation would be more complicated being that it's a giant brick and the Wii is a small brick dumbass.

  • @xxdavidhaloxx well its really big mainly because there is no power brick for it both the wii and 360 has external power bricks but the ps put theirs on the inside so that adds a lot to the size imagine how huge the 30 would be with its brick on the inside lol it would be at least 20% larger in length

  • 311 people are wii gamers

  • if Thats a new wii It will feel That in the Mornin and That Must Void The Warentie

  • @drizzt_rocks Nice :)

  • The Wii has been getting some good games lately

  • Very nice vid

  • Now you have broke your wii, broke your computer

  • Pure Awesomeness

  • Glad my site helped

  • wii is sooo cheap build quality like its from the 80s

  • what was with that battery?

  • @Spikestuff95 CMOS battery

  • @Ace33blue uh ha thanks

  • I have to see the Wii is the best step into the next generation of gaming since the actual focus was offering a new way to control the games you play. Not only that we got plenty of REALLY awesome games for it (people say there's a lot of shovel ware, but that's due to cheap licensing).

    Leave it to Nintendo to be the ones to come on top because I even see Sony and Microsoft's new graphics cards didn't do the trick did it? Now they ran out of ideas and M's following S's copycat method now.

  • at times my wii has problems reading disks so if I took mine apart you think I could figure out what is wrong?

  • @cicelyleisure shut up faggot

  • how much money do you spend on these teardowns

  • any reason why my wii only lasts about 40 mins and then turns off? anything i can do to fix this? instead of sending it to nintendo

  • @NukeTheSky

    Use your sense of touch and, when your system shuts down, feel all sides of the case and feel the temperature of the big rectangle-thingy on the power cord.

    Is your Wii put in a place which is very dusty, has limited access to fresh air; is your console placed directly next to another electronic device (like a DVD player or TV) that is producing a bunch of heat? Also be sure to check the back portion of the Wii and make sure there isn't a bunch of cobwebs and dust cloging it.

  • They sure as hell got it right! and their gamble has made their console the market leader! the machine has its limitations but a lot of those who buy it are probably new to the console market and do not care about such things.

  • hmm... his name is sam yet, his name tag says Ray(or something like that)

  • wiis the best

  • My toothbrush is more complicated than the Wii

  • det is bad. :-(

  • Wii is sexy

  • Nice gutting!

  • i would also tear a wii but for the fun of it =D

  • God how I loath people saying the Wii remote is a revolutionary control system...

    it's a controller split into two with a lightgun added to the equation.

  • @TheSteelStallion HEY FUCK YOU MAN

    it isnt a fuckin light gun, light guns are simple as crap and the controller for the wii has all these motion sensing functions

    I LOATH YOUR MOM FOR BRINGING YOU INTO THIS WORLD

  • @nessnes64 Denial is a terrible thing. "All these motion sensing functions"? It moves a cursor on screen... oh and you can shake it. Quite a lot of functions there isn't there? That was sarcasm in case you didn't get that. Well okay then... maybe it's not a lightgun. I mean, it's not like you can fit it into a gun attachment and pretend it is... oh wait...

  • @TheSteelStallion 1.yaw, pitch, tilt, accelerometer

    2.and thats a bad thing?

  • did you put it back together

  • a airforce 1 connectioon chip? holy crap

  • I have many game consoles. I get used to every controller in just a single minutes. That changed when I played my friend's wii. It's ABSOLUTELY uncontrollable. but it's fun!

  • WHY AM I WATCHING THIS KILL ME NOW

  • too bad natal is going to beat my wii (i have both)

  • unlock your wii check on my profile"

  • If you don't like your wii just hack it for free games and any other shit you want. That's what I did and made me want to use it again

  • @Liechengsos1 The wii is certainly not a shit console or console just buy the good games cuz they are not SHIT!!

  • wii sports isnt a demo disk

  • @blameitontenoob doubt is has mario, zelda and revolutionary motion controls

    INTENDO PWNS IN THE VIDEO GAME CATEGORY

  • @RunePenguinNinja no offense but learn to spell... its "NINTENDO"

  • @RunePenguinNinja oo wii mote that wont have shit on xbox's no controller project... and believe me i have a wii, it sucks hard for anything but the little 5 year old kid.

  • @Liechengsos1

    Lol. The "no controller" project is nothing more than an amped up version of the PS2's eye toy there. By the time MS perfects this OLD Tech, the Next gen of Nintendo and Sony products will make MS's "no controller" project lokk absolutely archaic. Don't get me wrong, I love the 360, but MS's reputation for innovative tech, is, well...it doesn't really have one to speak of.

  • @AndrewDeLong Well it's going too be out before the holidays.

  • @TonkatrainHONKHONK

    Makes no difference. It's still just a recycled concept with a better reaction time. If they can implement it into some serious games, then I may gain some respect for it, but honestly, it seems to be nothing more than a gimmick, which will mostly be used for party games that one would normally NOT play. Even though the Wii is basically a gimmick as well, it can actually be used for more serious games (i.e: Metroid Prime 3 and CoD style games)

  • @blameitontenoob

    Your grammar sucks too. And your name describes you perfectly.

  • wii eh i would only pay 60$ for one

  • go and hate something else PS3 fanboy (it's not a compliment)

  • It's The Wii You Retard

  • @TheAwesomealex221 كس امك ابن الكحبة fuck you

  • I bet you would like that

  • Douche Bag

  • Please take a minute to read the following message:

    A new channel called iWiiReviews will be uploading exclusive reviews of all things Wii related including; The Wii console, Wii games and Wii accesories.

    The first video will be posted on Jan 1st 2010.

  • its not sam its roy look at the shirt!

  • did u know that the 3GS iphone i powerfuller than a wii!

  • Nawh sorry man. 3GS is 600 Mhz and the Wii 729.

  • who cares about the speed man? a intel atom @ 800Mhz would be faster than a PII @ 1200Mhz

  • @snowman4839

    the wii isn't using a Intel chip although it is @ 1.2ghz

  • I know but i'm just saying... cycles per second doesn't necessarily mean its faster

  • wii is the size of a game console... iphone is the size of phone.

  • its the size of a small dvd player

  • @dr34m 4g is 1ghz

  • Could you do a more detailed tear down of the Wii remote. Especially, what are the pin-outs of the infra-red camera in the front?

  • @Shakespeare1612

    watch?v=ETAKfSkec6A&feature=re­lated

  • wow this was done a day after the wii came out

  • Wait does the Virtual Console get it's own graphics unit?

  • that damn thing wouldent work if i took it appart i own a ps2 and a gamecube and i let my nerd friend who knows about that clean my systems every couple months

  • It isn't 8 cores exactly. I don't think core is the right term for the PS3 or 360.

  • Lol my dual gtx 280 makes this thing's gpu look like a 10*10 resolution experience.

  • my pee has a better gpu then the wii

  • i think that's lab coat.

  • is sam wearing Rays shirt , or is it me ...LOL.

  • PLaying with the wii sounds so wrong..

  • pure nerd porn :)

  • im dead serious, you are wasting no more of my time.

  • dude, just leave it alone, I DIDNT THINK THAT ANYWAY! ARE YOU ENCAPABLE OF READING WHAT I TYPE? I SAID THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE. DOOOOOEEEESSS THE ENGGLLLIIISSSHHH LLLANNNNGGGUUAAAAGGGEEE PERPLEX YOU?

    "made me laugh because a lot of people go around saying "THE GRAPHICS ARE GREAT, IT HAS FOUR CELL PROCESSORS IN IT" and now I can finally confirm that as an impossibility."

    any other debate you wanna have you fucking fight-picker?

  • you're fucking retarded. i said it DOESNT have four cell processors, cocksucker.

  • FACINATING!

  • i like how there are little comments about how the wii is fun in the presentation here, but not the other videos. considering these are teardowns, I expected to hear some kind of hardware comparison.... maybe some mention of how weak the wii's hardware is in comparison to the ps3 or 360. The ps3 video made me laugh because a lot of people go around saying "THE GRAPHICS ARE GREAT, IT HAS FOUR CELL PROCESSORS IN IT" and now I can finally confirm that as an impossibility.

  • lol he says "Pr0cessor" with a capital zero

  • Bullshit says what

  • Have a compare with chintendo vii, it's almost 80 precent empty!

  • dosent that break the warranty contract

  • @malcior180 yep

  • @malcior180 yep

  • wtf?

  • And project "3 Red Lights of Death" will kill your Xbox 360. Have fun ass-hole... haha

  • Comment removed

  • You little fanboy bitch.

  • Imagine the next Elder Scrolls game having project Natal in it - talking to every NPC you approach rather than selecting options.

  • get a clue child

  • its funny,you claim its bad by the graphics and things that dont matter,but since you arent a true gamer and judge by graphics,they are making a wii HD later this,or next year.

  • Nintendo's focus on "game play' is just a talking point. they don't design all the games for the system so the this argument falls flat. Whether a game is good is subjective so the argument that budget for "game play" is limited by production costs is just asinine.

  • hmm, the whole thing's the size of a harddrive. I always wondered how all that crap fits inside it

  • roflmao ur the dumbest shit ever fuck u

  • WOW!

  • COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

  • omg i cant comment

  • and in case you didnt hear him at the end, I heard someone say "Die mother f--" at the end lol

  • I did.

  • If they were better with graphics, they would get the AWESOME games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Call of Duty MW 2...oh well..we would've also gotten the Zombie Mode for Call of Duty World At War. It just has not enough memory

  • lol did you find a HORRIBLE graphics card? XD XD XD I wish the wii could be better graphics wise...
