Pre-Pre-E3 Wii thread

I don't love the name, but I don't hate it either. It's a bit of a silly name but, then again, when you can generate this much press, good or bad, before E3 even starts, you are the winner. Mentioning this at E3 would be a disaster as it would generate press overshadowing the games and the console, now we can get down to business.

I had a much bigger negative reaction when I heard Microsoft's very first console was going to be called the "Xbox". That just had disaster written all over it and it came out okay.

It's just not as big a deal as everyone is making it out to be. If the Wii is a kickass console with awesome games, who the hell cares if you have to go into a store that sells video games and ask them to sell you video games no matter what the name is. It's not embarassing to buy lube at the Checker Auto Parts either.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You should, perhaps, worry more about calling it a "w.c.".


Besides, guys, Revolution wasn't a great name, but the "Rev" was a good little nickname, quite a bit better than calling Sony's the "PS3".

There's nowhere I can't reach.

False.

"Genesis does what Nintendon't"

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

You mean like Castlevania DS? Or Advance Wars DS? Or Tetris DS?

oh wait those games are awesome

Look, familiar games are going to come out that don't take much advantage of the controller that are going to be kickass because, well, many games that come out for Nintendo consoles focus on great gameplay. Then others (like Trauma Center or Kirby's Canvas Curse) will take full advantage of the setup and be just as good.

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

So, the system is not innovative because every single game will not be?

Good point, sir. Darwin's got nothin' on you.

And you're absolutely right! There is no "warrenting" for the DS, what a dumb idea Nintendo had there!

I was speaking idiomatically.

You might be able to make a 2 sceen portable system but it's nothing new if you're using the bottom screen just to view a map.

As far as I'm concerned, systems barely have anything to do with 'innovation'. It's what the games do. Warioware Twisted was an innovative game and it didn't need 2 screens or a motion sensor remote to make it something special.

But, what would be special about Trauma Center without the touchscreen? Or Kirby's Canvas Curse? It's not just that they wouldn't be innovative they wouldn't even exist. You're putting too many eggs in one basket.

I can't believe I even have to sit here and try to convince you just how dumb you sound.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
