Pre-E3 Wii thread

Okay guys, it's six days until the Nintendo Conference so it's time for the Pre-E3 Wii thread. You guys did pretty well in the last thread. Keep it up. =)

Again just like last time, be warned that if you fag this thread up like the former Revolution threads then you will be banned from this thread and perhaps for a week or two from Mario's Warp Room or all of the gaming forums. So basically behave in this thread or else.


This is the Pre-E3 thread for discussion of Nintendo's next generation console named Wii formerly known as Revolution. As such it will be closed most likely a day or so before the Nintendo Press Conference for the creation of a Nintendo Conference plus E3 Wii thread with the same principle and rules.

Link to prior Revolution/Wii thread for time piecing.

Enjoy your speculation and what not and please, play nice.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That would be quite the steal. It would be mighty awesome for my wallet and entertainment value if that rumor were true.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Shut up about the gimmicks, SOLDIER. I paid $70 for Guitar Hero. I don't go calling that a gimmick because it came with an add-on and costed more than the usual $50 fare.

Also, I don't think anyone should have a problem with connectivity this time around. Most people who are interested are also people who own a DS or are interested in getting a DS and let's face it it's the handheld gaming device to own. Since it is wireless you don't have to go buy a cable to connect it to the Wii which was a big factor of why people disliked GBA-GCN connectivity. I hope Nintendo does some very interesting things with the DS and the Wii talking to each other.

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

Hay guyz this be Nintendo Wii thread heyr. Wots goin on?

Seriously, what the fuck is with you guys and getting in a hissy fit over Donkey Kong Jungle Beat IN EVERY GOD DAMN THREAD?!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'd have just locked it but whatever. If you guys feel like discussing that in here then fine.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Metroid Prime would have completely sucked if it had been released at launch by horrible up-start Retro Studios. Apparantly you know very little of that company's early history. Nintendo had to bitch slap them several times before Metroid Prime became even remotely similar to what it is today.

Again a lot of games that came out later in the cube's life would have been great to have in the launch year but time just doesn't work that way, buddy. What happened, happened.

Most amazing jew boots

Actually most of SE's E3 lineup is for Nintendo systems. Nintendo is getting a lot of love.

Also, I will be closing this short lived thread sometime in the future because well the nintendo conference is tomorrow and all.

Talk about what you expect from the Wii and stuff and the conference and any new info for now. Just look forward to a new thread tomorrow.

Rumor has it that the Wii controller has a speaker in it which will make sounds like if you fire a gun or connect with a sword.

Thanks Sony, I just paid an extra 10-20 dollars for your shitty unresponsive controller so I could have pressure sensitivity in one game.

Sony's mentality, especially with the PS3, has been and will be "make the game look good above all else." They won't push the motion sensor thing onto developers at all, just like they didn't push the Eyetoy or the pressure sensitive Dualshock 2.

Well not everything for the cube was accepted either, dude. The shoulder trigger click was used in only a few games.

Hey guys I have created the thread for the Nintendo Press Conference. I will close this thread an hour or so before the conference starts and then unsticky and reopen the Nintendo Press Conference thread. So go ahead and subscribe to the Nintendo Press Conference thread early if you want to. I'm just getting it ready now so I don't have to do a sudden rush job like I did for the Sony Press Conference thread.

Anyway, just a heads up for you guys. Go here to view/subscribe/lick/whatever it:

CLICK!


Continue on with your discussion in the meantime.
Heh, looks like IGN's Matt was right about there being an exclusive Sonic game for Wii all along. =)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

About an hour before EST so that should be 11:30 AM CST if I'm not mistaken.

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

I would be amazed if it lasted 2 hours that it...

I'm sure Nintendo has come a long way since Wavebird, the first official first party wireless controller. If that's any indication then the battery will last a while. This isn't a PSP. If there's one company you can trust for battery use, it's Nintendo. I hope the external port for the attachments is used as a way to charge the batteries. We'll see.

Last I checked the 360 was still damn expensive like 400 bucks and widely unavailable. I expect a price drop but I expect the Wii to still be much cheaper.

It was used for the early cube games and Nintendo's games. Rogue Leader had it to open and close X-foils. I think Mario Sunshine used it somehow with FLUDD. It wasn't used a whole lot but it was there.

Alright guys, like I said on the page before it is time to close this thread now to make way for the Nintendo Press Conference thread an hour or so early. You guys did very well again. Head on over to the new thread and enjoy the conference. =)
