I'd rather be a ninja than an over-weight nerd.

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'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

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:

Wii game system rolls out on Nov. 19

The Wii was the hit of the E3 Expo in Los Angeles last May.

PLAY'S THE THING
Wii will face tough competition from Microsoft and Sony. Game systems now in U.S. homes (in millions):
Sony PlayStation 2 35
Microsoft Xbox 14
Nintendo GameCube 10
Microsoft Xbox 360 2.5
Source: DFC Intelligence

By Mike Snider, USA TODAY

The final pieces of this fall's video game battle fall into position today as Nintendo announces that its new Wii home system will sell for $250 — half the price of Sony's cheapest PlayStation 3 — and launch Nov. 19, two days after the PS3.


The two next-generation systems face Microsoft's Xbox 360, which will have had a year's head start; the anticipated 360 game Gears of War, out Nov. 7, is expected to boost sales.


But Nintendo is deploying a different approach than the others. The cutting-edge 360 ($300-$400) and PS3 ($500-$600) support HD video — and the PS3 uses the just-out Blu-ray HD disc format — while Wii (pronounced "we") depends on more conventional technology.


But Wii's unique wireless motion-sensitive controller has captured the attention of game designers and players. "We think all the other initiatives in the home console space have been much too hardcore-gamer-focused. We want consumers to be able to pick up (the Wii controller) and play," says Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime.



Nintendo plans to have 4 million systems shipped worldwide by year's end, he says. Sony recently reduced from 4 million to 2 million the number of PS3s likely to reach the USA and Japan this year. Analysts expect U.S. retailers to have about 400,000 PS3s and about 1 million Wii systems at launch.


Included with Wii is the Wii Sports game (with tennis, golf, basketball and bowling), the controller and a "nunchuck" attachment. Other details:


• Wii owners can download and play games from Nintendo's older NES, Super NES and Nintendo 64 systems and NEC's TurboGrafx. Initially, about 30 games (usually $5 to $10) will be available, including The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario 64. Games are saved on SD memory cards, which can also be used to import digital pictures.
• Built-in high-speed Net connectivity (including WiFi) lets Wii gather news and weather updates, plus messages from other Wii owners.
In the game-system battle, Wii "is a wild card," says DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole. "Is it going to be so unique that people are going to really rush and buy it — or be leery?"

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 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.

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.
