New Wii info

We should have a contest and see who can make the most terrible opening post for an official Wii thread. Worst one gets to run the show for a while complete with PM/IM hotline with Infernal and I on who to ban from the thread and muck with post options. It'll be a horrible, terrible mess.

How's that sound?

Well the gamecube could do it so I wouldn't expect any less. Will it be used a great deal? Maybe. I don't recall that many games across all platforms using it to begin with. Would make co-op gaming fun for those that can afford the setup.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well I didn't think they'd reveal the price or release date but I figured they'd reveal more than Strikers and Batallion Wars Wii upgrades and Elebits multiplayer. Really, I was expecting a new franchise, or virtual console info, or their web interface, or interface, details of something, anything. I was really hoping for a showing from Capcom, Namco, and Square as my max to be honest. But since it is a German convention I suppose it's not worth their time.

With a title of "Wii prove our promise" this was a biiig let down. They better show something BIG at the press party with Reggie early September to make up for this garbage. Hopefully something else surfaces today but really they needed something extra today.

The interface can't be that integral to being kept a secret up until now, can it? I mean they have about 2 months to go. This is really starting to get to fans that have been following this for so long. I know I'm not the only one.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Heh, not bad. I wouldn't mind that as an optional device. It would be like Virtual Boy but really, really, really awesome.

Well, we'll see how this pans out but that was an interesting read.

Meh, this thing again? It doesn't make either of the consoles look good so whatever.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Others would argue Link to the Past or any number of games. What the fuck is your point?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Rumble does and doesn't bother me. I use my wavebird all the time so I don't mind not having rumble. However, since they touted it as one of the controller's features I expect it to be there. Changing it this late in the game is pathetic.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't think most common gamers even remember the original mortal kombat so whatever. Plus, I believe Nintendo kept the blood intact for the sequel b/c of the backlash. Also, I remember there being a password or code or something that you had to put in to unlock blood in the Genesis version. Hot Coffee of its day I guess? Dunno.

Besides, it's Mortal Kombat. Who the fuck cares? It had its moments but it's gotten pretty stale over the years now.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Wii games use SD cards for saving. Much much better and cost effective. You can get a 2 GB SD card for like 50 to 100 bucks. That's plenty of room for virtual console content and saved games. There's also talk of using the USB ports in the back to connect the system to USB harddrives. I'd totally buy another 120 Western Digital portable harddrive just for that if it's true. The Wii uses a type of DRM to protect Virtual Console games from being played on other systems though I think but saved games should be a-ok. I'm sure we'll get more specifics on DRM later. The specifics on how that will really work has not been revealed yet.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Some games it just doesn't work that well. Fighters being one of them but who knows we may see some sort of Wii controller implimentation into Brawl in the coming months but I really doubt it. The gamecube controller layout was already perfect.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Closing this thread as it seems we now have an "official" thread. Whatever.
