Thats was a generalization of the average gamer and in no way related to Diesels size, shape, or social status.

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.

The other console would be the Turbografx-16, and Super Mario Galaxy is not a launch title.

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.

I haven't got one to confirm this, but apparently the whole GameCube reverse spin thing is a load of bullshit anyway, cos apparently if you open the disc tray while the momentum of the disc spinning is still happening, it spins the right way around.

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.

I'm looking at the graphical view points this way, graphics really don't matter.

Everyone has a PC and a lot of people will play games on there PC, the life of a PC and it's hardware/software are alot shorter compared to consoles. So though the 360's and PS3's graphical ability are superior to Wii's, PC's will always be that step ahead but do the same amount of people who play consoles play PC games? No, more people play consoles. Just because high end PC's will better that of console's graphics doesn't mean people play PC games because of it.

It's all about enjoyment, experience and interactment not just about graphics and a DVD player.

Wow.

I have no idea where to start with that. Please name me one thing that you would do with your family on the internet. This isn't like the radio back in the 1930s. And how, in any way, other than already being at the TV, would it be faster to use your Wii.

That lineup is incredibly unimpressive and the only game I would want to play would be Zelda. After E3 I was kind of excited but now I think that was only because of the occasion.

Pleanty, the amount of times my Dad asks me to do things, find things, tells me to look at things for him on the internet is countless. Only yesterday infact did he ask me to do two things, which both times required me to boot up my PC, log in, wait a couple minutes, then 1: Find an address and a telephone number of a local Football ground and 2: Check out some videos on youtube of some group he liked when he was a kid and couldn't rememeber something. It will be faster to turn on my 'never off' Wii and connect to the internet then doing it through my PC.

My sister and here boyfriend, who both really don't get on with PC's looking for a hoilday on the Internet (point and click) probably easier for the computer illiterate.

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.)
