Your idea of what the home button does

[Emasher]

i think it opens up the opera browser and when you press it again the browser closes so you can check a walkthrough ect. without quiting the game or running to your computer. :bowdown:

[darksnowman]

Check a walkthrough?! Blasphemy!

Though yeah, I'd say its fair enough to assume its something to do with the Web. Could it even take you back to the pre-game menu's or something to save you having to reset to go into Wii Channels and whatever...?

[triforce_keeper]

yeh pretty cool idea emasher! Lets hope it does exactly that.

[Emasher]

ect.

it was just an example.

(its emasher)

[Phube]

When round a friends house you use it to send your Mii's home if they perform badly at tennis!! :D

[blender]

it turns the 3d projection on/off

[Emasher]

i thought wii were past the 3D projection stuff.

lol.

[triforcemario]

It turns off TEH MEGATON (tm) toaster built into the Wii.

[Stefkov]

I'm guessing it just opens up a mini window, like an xbox blade. on it has what mii's are on your controller if any are on it, Battery life, messages, a return to wii channels button.

You know, despite the info Ninty has just told us, we still don't know quite a lot of information. damn them.

[Kaeporagaebora]

It probably brings up the main channel menu. If you use it during a game you'll probably get the message "Are you sure you want to continue? Game data will not be saved." The internet thing is a better idea, but I bet it won't happen. There should be separate home and internet buttons. That would be cool.

[Emasher]

:yay: yes toast :yay:

[triforce_keeper]

ect.

(its emasher)

Accidently pressed s instead of e, and I thought it was a good idea.:horse: :horse:

I think it will do that, but the whole screen with 12 Channel boxes will pop up letting you select other things, like your friends list.... I think that will be called the Home Screen.

Rofl @ the 3d projection :laughing:

[demonmike04]

Well, they said you take your wiimote round to some ones house to transfer your mii's, so in theory you press the home button to well, take you home. They never said anything about walking back.

[Emasher]

remeber the wiimote is only 32 dollars american (includes nunchuck)

It doesnt include the nunchuck, the wiimote is 32 dollars but like the nunchuck is slightly less and has to be bought seperately.

Any ways, teleportation technology is rather cheap but efficient.

[Emasher]

acualy teleportation is in very early development.

[demonmike04]

Yes, its cheap and efficient and was fully developed in the 70's, demonmike is correct.

Well there ya go.

[Kaeporagaebora]

Ha! Lies! I got my teleporter in 1965! I'd visit you to slap you in the face, but I bet you don't have a GX-100 compatable teleporter. Loser.

[demonmike04]

See? This guy knows were its at emasher!

[xernobyl]

It pauses most games (exept in online play), and maybe you can even change some ingame settings!

[AshMat]

I think it goes to the Home menu?...

[myster0n]

I know the teleporter you have. The vacuum tubes in that model take so long to warm up it's actually faster just to walk !

[AshMat]

Pfft, i modified my GX-100I so it takes half the time to warm up.

[demonmike04]

See emasher, every one has a teleportation system!

[harribo]

I think it goes to the Home menu?...

Are you crazy? Why would a home button take you to the home menu rather than teleport you home.

[The3rdChildren]

I think it homes in on the nearest animal (dog, hamster, giraffe) and puts it under Wiimote control so you can be like some kinda sick puppeteer.

[Hal_9Million]

It kinda says it all for you. Home takes you to the home screen. the home screen is Wii Channels. It's not rocket science.

[AshMat]

It makes your home grow rocket feet, then fly to the moon, wher you make a new home

[demonmike04]

Maybe we point at an object of choice and click the home button to launch a homing missile at them. Its ninendo's way of competing, literally destroy your opponents.

[Kaeporagaebora]

I only use it for inter-planetary travel. For terrestrial use, I prefer the XN-425, or "Little Jimmy".

If you hit a PS3 in its weak spot does it deal MASSIVE DAMAGE?

[Cleveland_Jr]

I reckon it'll bring up a hologram of reggie stabbing a ps3 with a wiimote. Oh and theyll change the name of the home button just before launch to the "ps3 penetration button".

[Kaeporagaebora]

PS3 penetration button sounds too... I don't know. But if I had kids, I wouldn't want them to have a game system with a PS3 penetration button...

And, Cleveland Jr? I think you're sig should say Ninjas love the Wii! Not, Ninja's love the Wii! Sorry, but bad grammar annoys me. And bad grammar abounds from that sentence. I think I have obsessive compulsive disorder. :heh:

[Cleveland_Jr]

First of all, my humblest apologies! :p

Second, if you were directing a sentence at me, shouldn't it say "Cleveland Jr, I think your sig should say...etc" not "And, Cleveland Jr? I think you're sig should say...etc"....since And doesn't belong at the start of a sentence, "Cleveland Jr?" is a way of getting my attention as you would say it, it is incorrect to write it like that, and "you're" refers to the abbreviation of "you are" and unless you were calling me a sig, you are quite mistaken.

Third, Its teh goddamn intarweb playa!!!!!11!1! Correct gRaMMar hAs No PlaCe Ere!!!!11! ZOMG ROFL!!!1!

[arab_freak]

It opens up the Wii menu, and acts as a pause button.

BOORRRRIIINNNGGGG

[Kaeporagaebora]

I think that And, Clevland Jr? Sounds fine. But whatever, I think that's less a matter of grammar and more a matter of opinion. Or maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, I left that you're there on purpose to see if you'd find it. (Mind games!) So I guess you do have grammar skills, eh? So I guess you were just being sloppy, eh? :horse: I like the new sig, though. Bad grammar on purpose is hardly bad grammar at all.

[Stefkov]

It magically makes Miyamoto appear in your room, thus, you, being able to ask him one quesion and one question only, then your controller wil become obselete.
making you buy more controllers, and asking miyamoto more questions.

devilish ploy isnt it?

[demonmike04]

BOORRRRIIINNNGGGG

Its arab_freak, what did you expect?

I just watched a video on Game Trailers, and the nintendo rep said Nintendo are gonna tease us a bit more and the guy didnt answer about whether the home button takes you home or not, so im thinking theres something BEFORE the wii channels..

[Shino]

There has to be, I haven't seen anything options related.

[CoolFunkMan]

It turns off TEH MEGATON (tm) toaster built into the Wii.

LOL!! FTW!!

Seriously though, I do see this being similar to the 360's guide button. Will possibly have more features than the blade though, like "Mii", etc

[The fish]

Isn't it obvious?
Where ever you are in the world, just whip out the Wiimote, and hit home, and you instantly are warped back to your own house.

This, however, is more plausable...

Your a wee bit late on that idea.

[The fish]

Your a wee bit late on that idea.

Yeah I know.
*sigh*Nevermind...

[DCK]

The Home triggers the Wii's built-in EMP. The EMP specifically targets high powered devices, so that it destroys fridges, power plants, and Xbox 360s within a 30 yard radius. Sony has a built in protection for that in the PS3, so you'll need to target your Wiimote specifically at weak point for massive damage.

[ZeldaFreak]

I personally think it will do a variety of things:

If in Opera it will take you back to the google homepage
If in other Wii channels takes you back pages, maybe??
And If you go to a friends house it connects all controllers to the Wii, maybe in an online game it takes you back to the lobby, (if my idea that once you type in your friends codes they create 'bonds' and in turn create a beutiful friends list, and a network of friends

[CoolFunkMan]

Your a wee bit late on that idea.

Don't you mean a "Wii bit late" :heh: *shot*

LOL! So that's what Wii really means - Weapon of Interactive Incineration. OMG, t3h m3g@t0n!!! :heh:

[Ten10]

It just takes you to the wii channels home menu, nothing more nothing less (Maybe)

[KingJoe]

It's a decoy. It doesn't do shit, except administer a small injection of heroin into your finger. not enough for you to notice, but enough so you do it again.

[Mercyful Fate]

When playing Zelda, it morphs Link back to his original home - his mothers womb.

Or not, I don't know.

[Kurtle Squad]

More-or-less the same as the PS3; as I don't know what the 360's does; heh.

[Stefkov]

It makes a baby pop out of the end of the wiimote.
Virtual Reality Nintenbabies"!!!!!!

[c0Zm1c]

I do see this being similar to the 360's guide button.
Ditto. :) ...stupid 10 character limit!

[assofaman]

Its obvious what its main function is...

But it could actually be used in games as well. It could be used for the Wii version of Nintendogs where if you CBF continuing to take your dog for a walk after its done a whole load of piss and faeces, barking at other dogs, playing frisbee etc, you can press the home button and the dog will go home straight away. Or could be used in Mario Galaxy a special ability where you can temporarily transport to Earth for a short period before appearing in the galaxy once again perhaps give Daisy a quickie with Mario committing adultery while Peach is enjoying similar offerings from Bowser behind the scenes?
