No. Leave that for PC.

What we would want more is for consoles to survive longer than the 5-year cycle they always seem to go through!!! I mean, my girlfriend brought her GCN days before the Revolution was announced in E3 2005. Was she pissed to find out it could play GCN games!

Adopt something along the lines of Sony. 10-year longevity for the consoles.

She's the lovely actress Naomi Watts.

Double Post:
And I agree, now that I think about it, that having upgrades would be a pain in the ass in the long run. I wonder if they've got some sort of head-gear of sorts that has a sensor in it like the controler does. I think it would be cool to use your head to control the camera or something. I'm just trying to think of possibilities of what the "new, exciting and unknown" aspect of the console is.

"Virtual boy-ish" head sensor? Hmm...

If I remember correctly, IGN speculated one time that they interviewed some filmmakers about some new thing there a picture would be presented in 3D, like for example, watching a movie in the room and the picture fills up the room. And apparently one member of the conference made a comment that,

HE KNEW OF ONE GAMING CONSOLE THAT WOULD USE THIS TECHNOLOGY.

Ah I love pre-e3. I can write anything and its legitamite (until Nintendo proves me wrong on Tuesday). Even stuff from IGN.

Am I the only one who took note of that article when it came out?

I think I recall the article vaguely.

I really think is that whatever Nintendo has going on, it's primarily going to be associated with the name. Something to do with "we" the collective, multiplayer, etc. etc. They really banked ALOT on the "Wii" name and in my mind there has to be something more to it than what they've yet shown.

I totally expect them to unveil something that has to do with people playing together ...something that we won't expect... and the Wii name will make quite a bit more sense.

What that is I can only speculate. Maybe a special thing to do with the Wi-Fi service/multiplayer options; or maybe some weird split-screen concept (like those dual-view LCD's that Sharp made, two fullscreen images w/ one screen). Maybe they have some way of doing stereo-vision images with normal TV's (aka. 3-D display technology) without glasses.

Whatever they unveil, I do expect the Big N to ship Wii's with 2 remotes (w/ nunchaks), or 1 remote (w/ nunchak) and 1 game (like old school systems!!) and sell for $199.

How about no more costly add-ons and Nintendo just sticks with the remote? I want them to focus on making games, not gimmicks.

Excuse me, but can you take the time to explain to me what the fuck that means?

It means exactly how it reads. No more bongos, extra ram, pikachu mic, E-Reader, and so on. We have a remote that can do pretty much anything, so let's stick with that instead of spending extra cash on some add-ons that only get used in 1-2 games.

Too bad, Nintendo are focusing 100% on gimmicks.

I don't mind add-ons as long as they are free, like the bongos were.

YEAH CALL OF DUTY 3 CONFIRMED FOR REV WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo

Good signs. 3rd party games as big as Call of Duty on Wii helps the future look brighter. GIVE US MORE!!!

(Oh shit! Did the clock stop?!! NOO!!! E3's still 2 days awaaaay!!!)

DOUBLE POST:
Oh man, I'm looking around other forums and hardly anyone likes the Wii name! Bloody, non-imaginative and cowardly conservatists!!! Why does no one think the name is cool? Wii! Short and simple.

And it affects people. No one's sat down and said, "Oh, it's Nintendo Eclipse. Cool. Next." Everyone's been like WTOMGF?

This makes me all but sad:

Slowly but surely I'm getting excited about this game. If Nibris keeps what it promises that'll be one hell of a game. Somehow I've got confidence in that company. And I'm sure Nintendo helps them a lot during development.

Nintendo turned them down when Nibris asked them to be their publisher.

Looks like real life video to me. I'll have to see in-game stuff to get excited. But the idea is cool, I'll have to agree.

That picture kinda worries me. Either Wii's specs and power were severly underestimated, or that's a real-life human being, meaning that the game uses a mixture of cheesy live-action and CG graphics.

If it's the latter then I'm gonna be on the brink of ruling the game out. Using live-action for videogames never turns out to be a good thing. (With the exception of maybe the fighters in the Mortal Kombat series during it's early days).


As for people hating the name Wii, it's getting annoying. I mean, yeah I can understand not everyone loving it, but seriously how old are these people? 7? Making a piss or penis joke with the name was mildly amusing the first five times, but now it's just retarded. OK we get it, they like SERIOUS consoles with SERIOUS and BADASS sounding names. Because they want a system that has MATURE and BLOODY games for their MATURE taste. Games that let them play as a badass riding a motorcycle where he shoots out chainsaws on fire out of machine-guns. OK. =/

(Oh it's also really annoying when people writing articles on Wii write Wii's name like this: revolutionWii. What the hell? People need to get over it already.)

I'm going to be EXTREMELY pissed if there is no data/video/images on Super Smash Bros Wii. That is all.

I don't know, Nibris seems more like a concept studio rather than a game development studio. These types of game companies tend to go under fast, but we'll have to see how it turns out.

DITTO.

Of all the things related to Wii, I hope that SOME info is given (next to the other shitload of features, such as a beta list for the Virtual Console).

It's a live action shot, see their other images on IGN. The only images that have been released for the "game" are concept art and live action pictures.

Eff that! It's all about Wiitroid Prime 3!

Super Smash Bros Wii is confirmed to be playable at the show by someone from IGN I think.

The TRAILER is live action, but doesnt mean the game is.
They're using an actor to demonstrate how you can play the game.
If you look closely at the shots of the chick in modern day clothing, you'll notice she's standing in front of a TV, holding a revmote.

Assuming there is gameplay footage in the trailer, I reckon IGN is held by an NDA, and so they can only reveal the live-action bits of the trailer, but not the game footage, until E3.

this could easily be an in-game shot. the shading's more simple-looking than llive-action shots would look, though it does look completely kickass.

The guy looks pretty cool. But it bothers me how it looks like he was just copied and pasted against some background. It's like a really bad green-screen scene in a movie.

Where's the guy? That's a girl.

Quoted for the truth!

I dont want to have to buy a DS and hook it up to my Wii just to beat a game a already paid $50 for.

Fucking Crystal Chronicles.
