Ойын-сауық
Hello everyone,
Wii is a console made by Nintendo.
The Wii is popular for its Wii remote.
In this video, we are going to take a look at an recording of the early prototype anti-piracy measures of the Wii.
Is it even possible to do so?
Let's dive into it!
Please read the pinned comment.
Enjoy!

This is why I love anti-piracy screens that actually try to be realistic. Not one of those that try way too hard to be scary with the characters with black eyes and blood/gore. Realistic ones are more unnerving and effective at causing discomfort. Good job.
the way the cursor is just dancing when the wii is verifying the disc

real: "Nintendo Wii is can't connect Nintendo Anti piracy hot line. because this program is under development for now."
Translation for the final call voice: "Nintendo wii can't connect to the Nintendo anti-piracy hotline. This might be because this program is in development."
I love how this one has bugs, like it said it would! Specifically, some text is displayed in Japanese when the user has selected English as their preferred language. This just makes this seem a lot more genuine! By the way, your content is very believable and well-done. Keep up the great work!
1:04 My only critique is there should be a “refresh” button in case someone doesn’t have Luigi’s Mansion or Mario Kart Wii. This is one of the best anti-piracy screens I’ve seen though

This is very well made lol. I like the low quality because it makes it look more realisitc
Woah.. this looks realistic! Keep up like that, Unknown team! (Also I was the 600th subscriber!)
this looks so cool! if i didn't know about fake anti piracy screens, i would think this is real XD
imagine if once it's done your wii fucking melts
WTF When I was like 7 I a had this really weird and vivid dream that my wii was having some weird issues after homebrewing it, and I remember being stuck in a menu that looked eerily similar to this. Nice creation !
Great job! But the cursor seems a little small tho in my eyes.
operator: 911 what's your emergency? child, in hysterics: *I-I-I piwated the wii and it's (sob) games, I pwead to be a-awe-awes- (loud crying)*
The warning screen on boot is NTSC (no colour). The checking environment says PAL.
2:33 😂😂😂 The Police Japanese at the end
The fact half the menu is in Japanese makes it utterly hilarious yet tense to try to navigate the menu without any knowledge of Japanese whatsoever
I love how the anti privacy isn't that creepy stuff and it's actually realistic

Personal Thoughts The console wouldn't just randomly shut off, there would likely be a check in place for the next time the wii menu tries to start. Mentions of Anti-Piracy would be replaced with something like Software Authenticity Checker version number wouldn't be 1.0 or even there in the first place if the software is presumably unfinished, not to mention it would likely be in the corner and faded, and be a build number instead, showing the date of creation. power button would likely be a small information button mentioning how to turn off the console (press and hold power) and some vague explanation for the check Pal Wii consoles do not support Japanese as an option for language. the Japanese text would merely be a remnant of development and not an option. Dark mode wouldn't be a thing period Some fonts aren't normally seen anywhere else on the wii if im not mistaken, pretty close though! No mention of the software being unfinished would be *anywhere* cursor is not tilting, and is way too small. The sound from the Wii Menu for leaving a channel preview wouldn't be used here Personalization explanation would simply be 'Chose your language' in the different languages offered Check button would be on the right 'Please Reinsert the disc' would probably be changed to 'Please insert the disc' to be concise The option to check the hardware or firmware wouldn't be there as both checks would be necessary and be done regardless, not to mention giving the user the option would ruin some of the purpose behind the software, so its likely the screens associated would be removed :/ for the restart message fade out would not occur, and it would stay the same theme Health and safety message would not be shown again piracy is a crime message would not be typed out in this way but would be shown in its entirety. It would not ask you to shutdown your console or have a countdown (in a generic font mind you) instead it would tell you how to shut off your console properly (press and hold the power button for 4 seconds) power button in corner would not exist sounds would not be there background would be faded a bit to make text more clear wheres the microphone lol funny idea to have it 'call nintendo' though try new rodin instead of a generic serif font if you can't figure out what font to use good luck on whatever you do next!

@Lily.finder The pointer went from moving normally to being completely static in rotation, meaning a real remote was used at first. The Wii Speak was a microphone accessory but not many people had one, which would make the call part essentially useless unless someone had it already plugged it and setup and calibrated, and The Wii remote simply doesn't have a microphone. The call relying on internet also follows the circumstance that WiFi is set up in the first place.
i like how realistic this one feels compared to other wii priacy screens mainly with the VHS effect, so many digtal VHS effects feel artifical to me, personaly i think the best way to do it is to use a real VCR I don't know if this one uses a VCR or not but it looks realistic
Oo also the ending says "can't connect to the nintendo anti piracy hotline. this may be because the program is under development."
There is 2 of the forecast and news channels that's how we know the piracy checker was correct in its decision.
Bro you fooled me lmao I thought this was real, great job!!

The very end in question:
That’s actually insane
very well developed
i love how this was for the mii channel
Just when i think im gonna see something that looks remotely close to official all these videos do is pop up a screen that says "piracy bad" There are some other things in the video which are a bit weird but honestly if you redid the last part of the video to not include your wii magically calling nintendo and mocking you it would be 10x better
Woah, how long did this take to make?

1:38 Translation: How would you like to perform the system check? There are several ways to check if the system is configured. The first method of shutdown is firmware. If there is a defect in the firmware, it is physical. The same applies to hardware as well.

That's stupid. It can't just, stop you from unplugging or even KILLING it for some reason. Just doesn't work like that.
1:38 if this were real, wouldnt they force the person at this screen to do a hardware and firmware check? i have a modded wii with cios and if anyone who also had that did the check, they would just select hardware and get around it. likewise, if you had a modchip, you could just select software.

The Nintendo Wii Has Been A Anti-Piracy Screen In Here.
that wii cursor is far too small I found this looking for an actual anti-piracy screen that had popped up on my homebrewed wii that was simply a black screen stating "Your wii hardware has been modified. Turn off the console." or something similar. Hope someone posts that someday.
When it says calling nintendo before that it would be good to ask if the user has wii speak
When The Homebrew hits
Unplugging the consle while the call is in session: am I a joke to you?
How did you animate the cursor so well?
Wow this guy just got arrested by Nintendo for piracy just to entertain us
I always thought these vids were real
Imagine this happened after playing a downloaded wii rom on homebrew channel
Alt title: MetaFortress with graphics Edit: (yes the wii has its own anti piracy method called metafortress)
That's great, no jumpscares no scare and no shut up
Ah yes, because Japanese is totally written as 「日本」。 (It means Japan) Other than that, this was pretty well done other than some things which don’t make sense like the Wii somehow being able to call the authorities

translation Nintendo WII cannot connect to the Nintendo Anti-Piracy Hotline. This may be because the program is currently under development.
If this happens, just unplug the console and leave it alone for the rest of time.
Ok I love the editing but the logic at the end doesn’t make sense though I mean think about it. Would a Wii really have the hardware to call Nintendo?
this is an extremely minor error, but the version on the piracy screen says it’s a PAL wii, however on the warning screen the warning sign is white, meaning it’s a NTSC wii, PAL wiis have a yellow warning symbol instead, again extremely minor but just wanted to point it out
