The controller looks awesome.
|
Yeah for a ninja. :p
|
I'd rather be a ninja than an over-weight nerd. :p
*edit* Thats was a generalization of the average gamer and in no way related to Diesels size, shape, or social status. |
Launch titles?
|
Prolly Mario Sunshine X or some shit.
|
Some little kiddy game i bet.
|
I will be buying a Nintendo for the first time on launch. Mainly because I already own a 360 :D
|
Well the controls are montion sensitive so you move the controler to do stuff but some games let you use a regular controller/ Gamecube controller.
You can play Gamecubes games on it and download games from the NES, SNES, Megadrive, N64 and some other console I can't remember the name of with the "Virtual Console" download thing. Games on release are Zelda: Twilight Pincess, Super Mario Galaxy and thats all I know as far as games go. Theres obviously more. Can't remember the cost but it's alot less than a Ps3. |
$250

The system has a massive launch line-up, with Nintendo releasing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, a port of the DS game 'Trauma Center', Excite Truck and Wii Sports (Baseball, Bowling, Boxing, Tennis, Golf) and third parties releasing Rayman Raving Rabbids, an FPS called Red Steel, Madden 07, Need For Speed Carbon, Call of Duty 3 and Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, amongst others. The price is $250 in North America, and £179 in the UK. Wii Sports is included as part of the package. As for non-gaming features, it will no longer be able to play DVDs, sadly but it will feature an avatar creator called "Mii" which will be used with Wii Sports. News and Weather "channels", a highly interactive photo viewer and an Opera Web Browser (purchasable from Wii Store with points) that supports Flash and Java. WiiConnect24 will download demos and trailers to the system when its in standby. |

Since they are going to have web browsing can you download like GTA3 and play it on the wii maybe?
|
It still can't play DVDs? WTF? Don't tell me they're still doing that reverse spin crap.
|

QFT. Want to go on a genocidal spree and take out any people who don't get one?:y: |
Def. Let's fucking kick some skulls in.
|
Like the Gamecube and the GBA, the DS and Wii will connect for games and other stuff.
|
I want one but I still think Wii is the gayest name ever
|
I'm starting to wonder how this console is next generation at all. What with it's lack of DVD playing abilities, which even the last generation had.. to top it off, it has a lack of real graphical improvement.
Granted, it may end up being a solid console. But next generation? Hardly. |
Well it has better graphics than the Gamecube, so by that virtue it's next gen. Plus it has plenty of features that are a step up from the GC. And just because Nintendo have decided to focus on something other than raw power and graphical ability, doesn't mean it isn't a next generation console. And honestly, who cares if it doesn't play DVDs? You can get DVD players for next to nothing.
|
so if the PS3 and the 360 couldn't play DVDs they would not be considered next gen either?
|
OH NO, IT DOESN'T PLAY DVDS!!!
It's not next gen in terms of graphics (Though Nintendo will pop out a few games with amazing graphics). It's next gen in terms of gameplay. Most of my favorite recent-ish games don't have great graphics, but great gameplay. It won't bother me much if most to all of Wii's games aren't anywhere near as nice looking as the PS3 or Xbob 360's games. If I want great graphics I will buy either a PS3 or Xbox 360... Which I plan on doing eventually. I'm just waiting for better games. |
I'm just saying.. they're skipping important things that were around in the last generation. It's basically a slightly upgraded gamecube with focus on peripherals and 'features' (such as a game library of the old nintendo games) instead of a system that is really improved such as the 360 and PS3. (Granted, I don't like the 360, but they at least came out with a -far- better system than their previous one. And no I'm not dissing the old x-box.)
|
Yeah, because implementing an entire new style of playing games is really just focusing on peripherals and not advancing the entire gaming genre as a whole.
|
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption :drool:
The discs will be bigger, no more of the minidisc shit that plagued the Cube by scaring off third party developers. Also there will be a standard-type controller, which I think will be sold seperatly, for those wanting a more "traditional" style controller. Here's some other stuff from USAToday.com: Quote:

If the Gamecube came out with with a motion sensing controller, would it really be that much different?
Yeah, you can re-buy all your old games for more than you can buy them now. Yeah, you get an internet browser (I didn't hear a lot of people asking for this feature but I guess it's only an unnecessary if Sony or Microsoft puts it in their console) but in order to use it you have to have an internet connection and that means, more than likely, there is a computer someone near. Other than that it seems like I'm paying another $250 for a new controller. |
Yeah. Me and RDD are going to stomp some fucking heads.
|
I will not buy it unless it can make me Ice Cream and play DVD's.

If you notice, Nintendo aren't really using the Nintendo name much with Wii, sure it's there, but its not in your face. They want everyone to play games and attract new gamers whilst trying not to say 'HEY THIS IS A GAME MACHINE!' So that people don't get scared off.
The inclusion of the Internet browser is for the purpose of making people sit around the TV as a family and using the Internet, it's also a lot faster to connect to the internet and will probably be mad easy like it was getting your DS online with the WiFi. I don't see how that not including the DVD compatability makes this any less of a next generation system, when EVERYONE has a DVD player of some kind and with it's inclusion, no doubt would have added to the over-all price of the system. Nintendo have said something along the lines of Wii isn't next generation, this is the new generation. They are trying to better the industry and that's with the controller. Controllers have always been updated and ultimately bettered with every 'Next Generation' but the attention was always on the graphics, this time the Graphics have been bettered but the attention is on the controller. |
