Pre-Pre-E3 Wii thread

lol, when I first saw this thread name in the forum and your name as the most recent poster my thought was you had closed it after someone else had created it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I am pretty sure graphics just as good as RE4 is all I'll need. Better than that is just a bonus.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Anyone who thinks they are real should be shot.

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

It's official..

Wii
Wii!
Wii!!

While the code-name “Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.

Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.

Wii will put people more in touch with their games … and each other. But you’re probably asking: What does the name mean?

Wii sounds like “we," which emphasizes this console is for everyone.

Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.

Wii has a distinctive “ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play.

And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.

So that’s Wii. But now Nintendo needs you.

Because, it’s really not about you or me.

It’s about Wii.

And together, Wii will change everything.

So far things seem to be looking really good for Nintendo. (knock on wood).

I agree with this man. Such drama over something so little is pointless.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Eyetoy is very basic, I doubt Nintendo would go with something like that.

How ya doing, buddy?

IGN Madden article
New IGN article reveals accelerometer in nunchuck attachment. Pretty interesting stuff.

IGN Wii: Does you use the trigger buttons on the nunchuck unit?

John Schappert: You know, the buttons are all still being mapped out. It does use the trigger buttons right now. I don't know how much we'll have locked in for you at E3 because we are still working on the final button layout, but it does use the trigger buttons, and it does use the accelerometer in the nunchuck unit as well for juking.

FELIPE NO

No, you said Wii and the DS shouldn't be called innovative. There is a difference and the people who responded to you are exactly right, and I don't you seem to be taking any of it in.

Also I think you should read the dictionary meaning for "innovation"

in·no·va·tion
noun.

1. The act of introducing something new.
2. Something newly introduced.

Does this not perfectly describe what both the DS and Wii are doing. Do you see other handhelds with a touchscreen? No. It's an innovation in handheld gaming. Do you see other home consoles with motion sensing controllers? No. It's gaming innovation, it's innovative.

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

Also, Somehow, saying that comment meant that I was mad because every game isn't completely about touching a screen?

What games have been called innovative, when all they have is a map on the bottom screen. None I can recall.

Also, to your standards, do you really not consider the DS or Wii innovative?

Comparing the DS to a palmheld computer is hardly logical, you're not going to call a palm a gaming console are you? Of course the DS wasn't the first to have touch screen gaming, it just brought the touch screen concept into mainstream gaming.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Those polls are always plagued by Nintendo fanboys, they always sway towards Nintendo. I wouldn't read that much into a Internet poll where Nintendo is involved.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I would have thought more people would have voted for "other", I mean Spore is looking awesome. Other would have definately been my second choice because of it.

Most amazing jew boots

Sure, not everything companies do on the Revolution will be great (honestly, I've tried playing an FPS on it and I don't find it an improvement over today's controllers), but there will be some games that really show the universal appeal of the console. Friends of mine tell me Pilotwings is absolutely perfect - it's something anyone can pick up and enjoy. Nintendo's changing all of the rules - they've created an experience anyone can enjoy. They've created a system for everyone.

Linky.

Pilotwings?! Now I am pumped!

I'm not sure, is the kid in black a boy or girl?
