Wii secret slot picture
A few companies received an E3 CD from Nintendo with some info about Wii. On the cover of the CD is a Wii console with one of the secret slots open. It’s a very vague picture but it looks like there is an SD Card Reader behind the flap and something that looks like an eye. There were gossips that Wii would get a built in camera so who knows…

That’s kinda funny, because there were some big rumours a while back about the Wii taking SD cards and producing some ridiculously large ones (upwards of 2g), and that the Wii came with a camera that would be used to take your picture for Wii sports and other games, as well as online play. Interesting, because these rumours were all packed together from one source, but pretty well regarded them as false.

It’s no camera, it’s a projector !!1!
Or not.
June 12th, 2006 at 5:21
I starting to think that thos rumors are true. And that is very good news :)
June 12th, 2006 at 7:58
you have to remember, this console will be cheap so dont expect anything super-special.
June 12th, 2006 at 8:12
I doubt that there will be a camera. I don’t thing Nintendo wants 40 year old perverts to use pictures of specific body parts as their avatar.
June 12th, 2006 at 8:19
My guess would be you have it backwards the slot is for DS cards not for SD. I also heard a rumor about the camera being incorporated into the consol, so there will be face recognition technology and the ablility to scan your own face into the game. WEBCHAT!!

Thats no eye. Its a space station.
June 12th, 2006 at 8:43
I think Eli speaks the truth.
June 12th, 2006 at 8:46
Wiiiii!
June 12th, 2006 at 8:47
Maybe Nintendo will come out with a online multiplayer Halo type thing and you get a card in the mail with your info on it and then you insert it and it logs you in…….I don’t why but that seemed logical.
June 12th, 2006 at 8:56
did some one say “its cheap and dont expect any thing super special? duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude wiimote, wimote. that has to be something super special for a cheap console. and didnt nintendo say they havent put out all the wii secrets? i say keep an open mind ;)
June 12th, 2006 at 9:03
Its a port to connect a DS Lite to.
June 12th, 2006 at 9:08
that would be funny if it was just a headphone jack or something low tech
June 12th, 2006 at 9:10
I hope its a open system interface. like PCI express or PCMCIA

My guess is that it’s a camera which can display its view of you, and the room you are in, and do some augmented reality tricks to paint on you and/or your environment. It would be a way to put you inside a game, dressed up in whatever the game wanted you to be wearing. Or it could be a way of allowing you to virtually game in any room the Wii was located in.
June 12th, 2006 at 9:18
umm yessss, I would like to order 7 Chicken Vagina’s!
June 12th, 2006 at 9:27
There would certainly be software that can recognize things that aren’t faces and not allow those to be uploaded, so penises won’t be a problem!
June 12th, 2006 at 9:29
It’s actually a blowdart gun. For those who try to run pirated games. Enjoy your bubonic plague.
June 13th, 2006 at 12:35
Maybe it isn’t a camera at all but mabye it is a jack for a microphone. Mario Party 7 for the gamecube uses a microphone…maybe because it wouldn’t always be used the jack is hidden away under the flap.
June 13th, 2006 at 1:34
its for SD cards that was reveald long ago, it has nothing to do with ds, since not only is ds wireless adn wouldnt need to connect to anything, but but nintendo isnt going to let you play ds games on the system cause then they would lose ds sales.
June 13th, 2006 at 2:05
phtoshopped it is
June 13th, 2006 at 7:27
Damn right its photoshoped.
June 13th, 2006 at 7:27
Damn right its photoshopped.
June 13th, 2006 at 8:07
It’s been confirmed that the flap contains an SD card slot for storage expansion, but there’s room for the last hardware surprise. A camera it might be, but this pic is definitely a poor photoshop job.
June 13th, 2006 at 3:42
Perhaps the eye thing is a button that you have to press every 108 minutes or otherwise the world will end. That would get you playing wii more the fear of death
June 13th, 2006 at 4:27
I’ve always wondered why the Wii was sat in a cradle that put it on a slant…. well it’s so that the camera points up at your face and not at your feet!!

Hey That One Guy / Module_X :
Your myspace page is as much of a hideous atrocity as nearly everyone else on earth’s myspace pages are.
I think the creators of myspace are just playing a cruel joke on all of their users by helping them design the UGLIEST most POINTLESS wastes of bandwidth on the entire web!
You sir, suck especially bad for spamming it where no one wants to see it and it is totally unrelated. I hope something very bad happens to you for being such a pitiful lamer that you are.
myspace is for losers who think too much of themselves.
Nobody cares about you, and your “webpage” is an eyesore.
Cheers!

a camara?!!!!!! wat!!!!! the ps3 is already being bilt with a camara to do all kinds of things!!!!!!! whos copyng now? 360-sucks (its the new sega dreamcast) - wii- a revolution:)- ps3- next generation!!!!
June 13th, 2006 at 5:30
two words: EYE TOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dycefreak:
you have to remember, this console will be cheap so dont expect anything super-special.
————————
Um, and the controller and everything about it is not special?
Honestly, the Wii is the most special of all the consoles. Just because it’s cheaper it doesn’t mean it’s not special. The whole reason the Wii is so cheap is because it uses old technology, which Nintendo have tweaked in a way to get a very appealing and amazing peice of hardware.
Don’t be fooled - Never underestimate Nintendo.
June 14th, 2006 at 3:09
OK….nintendo had a cam BEFORE playstation2 was ever invented…so eye toy is copying who? Gameboy cam. So what if it was used differently, see who did it first for s game console…I have spoken.
June 14th, 2006 at 3:34
It’s the V.A.D. (Virtual Aroma Dispenser)
Ummm! Can’t wait for that sweet smell of Mario’s plumber’s crack!
June 14th, 2006 at 5:38
I think it’s where the DVD playing attachment goes
June 14th, 2006 at 7:09
Its a lovemaking device for the bachelor Wii owners.
Or some kind of ds connectivity, or infra red.
Possibly a reader, it could be the Wii’s own version of e-reader? Buy little one use coin/cards to be scanned by the wii, and old retro games can be stored in the system or on the sd cards? Thats my guess.
June 14th, 2006 at 9:41
If it would be real.. wouldn’t they try and ATLEAST mount the thing straight and not just throw it on there from ten feet away? :P looks fake to me… and it to uggly to be real to, looks like the friggin’ inside of a toaster.. or something..
June 14th, 2006 at 9:54
if this ISNT photoshopped, then i would say the center slot is the confirmed SD slot (idk, i guess it COULD incorporate DS games somehow), i would guess that the smaller slot on the bottom is a USB port, that could be used for bunches of different things … and the lil circle up top … who knows, camera is as good a guess as any other. Either way, i’m sure Nintendo wants us to be speculating and guess and gossiping about it, that’s why they haven’t revealed everything yet. They’re smart like that.
June 14th, 2006 at 12:08
sd card slot XD
June 14th, 2006 at 4:01
It is real, compare it to other photos, its there, whether or not its included with the final release is the question. The reason why it appears crooked is likely because it doesnt sit paralel to the outer casing, since I am too lazy to post a picture I will use text:

June 14th, 2006 at 9:50
Lol, that is actually the truth. I know its crazy, but that is what it is. I did some researching, and yes, it is a camera, the camera takes a picture, built in software remakes your face in whatever style the game is, and plants your image on your character, it also can take your entire body and do the same. Absolutely amazing, truly the revelution in gaming is here, Nintendo, I commend you on your neverending faith in gamers, and your creativity, and most of all you philosophy on how games should be. Thank you very much, your consoles have changed my life, and one look at the Wii tells me they will continue to for a very long time.
June 14th, 2006 at 11:38
the eye is a projector. the stand is a battery. the wii is portable. maybe?
June 15th, 2006 at 6:33
You guys are retarded
June 15th, 2006 at 7:41
seriously, isn’t it obvious? its a camera until further notice, and why would it be a headphone jack when its not portable? u’d be be standing in a room praying to God that u don’t tug on the headphones and knock over the Wii while you’re moving around and playing Wii Sports… it wouldn’t make any sense to have a headphone jack when the whole point of the Wii is to take u into the game without anything holding you down
June 16th, 2006 at 4:56
Could this be where the DVD slot will go?

A camera would make sense, as remeber the console is slanted upwards for a reason, and it seems that reason is for the ease on inserting and ejecting discs, however it would also make sense for the camera.
June 16th, 2006 at 3:20
a dvd slot would be to big for such a small space, I don’t nintendo plans on having a dvd player built in, besides, the dvd player would just be where you put the games in
June 16th, 2006 at 6:15
Will nobody listen, it has already been answered >.
June 16th, 2006 at 10:54
What is the answer?
Neal Saferstein
June 18th, 2006 at 2:37
projector. its angled for a reason, and that reason is to project your game to a reasonable height on the wall. the stand would make sense as being a battery to power the system. also with the systems small size and such, the wii is said by nintendo to have minimum power consumption. instead of having a camera built into the system to take your online ID photo, as some people said, it would be cheaper for nintendo to have you upload it to some website, and then put it onto the system through the opera web browser. everyone has a digital camera, why shouldnt nintendo just have you use that.
theres no way that the eye is going to be a camera. i think the idea about it being a magnet to keep the cover closed is more likely
June 18th, 2006 at 2:40
also, new technology such as a hologram projector + having to miniturize it enough to fit inside the wii along with all the other gizmos would drive up the price of the system. we’re not going to get holograms. sorry il bambino
June 18th, 2006 at 6:57
say you want to take it somewhere? or for connecting multiple wiis wirelessly in the same room so that you can play against a friend in a LAN type of game. but the nintendo wii site does say that the wii has minimum power consumption, and if the wii’s stand is a power source and the eye is a projector, then this would fit in.
a camera would be stupid
June 19th, 2006 at 10:56
Thats wild !
Neal Saferstein
June 20th, 2006 at 2:29
the most logical explaination would be that it is a camera- although not as techy as the eye toy. think of it as nintendo’s way of incorporating expensive tech (digital cameras) into inexpensive consoles (think of how the ps2 had dvd playback). it would give gamers a face in certain games, and would be useful in establishing an online avatar (should one be used).
it cant be a projector, as motion sensing isnt possible on a wall.
June 21st, 2006 at 1:18
Again it cut off my comment -.-, If you scroll up, you will see a few comments from me, read them, and follow the link, it explains why it is a camera, and why it appears crooked.
June 24th, 2006 at 2:42
When I say camera, I don’t mean a video camera, I mean one that can take a quick snapshot for character editing purposes. No Eye-Toy here my friends, just a simple tool for making your character look just like you.
July 13th, 2006 at 6:44
could the usb used for charging the controller, like the ps3
(someone might of already said this but i could not be asked to read the whole forum
November 12th, 2006 at 8:46
it’s the SYCHRONIZE button for the controllers
November 20th, 2006 at 9:30
Actually, that “camera” is the sync button for the wii remote being covered. Nintendo probably did this to keep their multiplayer remote system secret.
THIS IS NOT SPAM
January 20th, 2007 at 12:18
actually, the police investigated this and, as a matter of fact, there is no camera it is just an LCD projector for other games.
January 29th, 2007 at 8:04
funny myspace picture…
If Myspace is so freaking huge it’s like being on the Internet. Apparently,…
February 3rd, 2007 at 10:00
The Wii is backward-compatible to all Nintendo GameCube games and includes four ports for controllers and TWO SLOTS FOR MEMORY CARDS. Which features a bay for an SD memory card.
February 3rd, 2007 at 10:01
I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WORK @ NINTENDO COMPANIES INC.
November 17th, 2007 at 11:35
