Pre-E3 Wii thread

sorry, but am i the only one here who has never really loved reggie? i mean sure, he's ok, but i'm not going to all of a sudden go crazy over him or anything.

also, i'm getting kind of sick of "wii will change everything" that nintendo is spouting out in EVERY interview now. it was cool the first time, maybe the second, but not the hundredth (though IGN's "the nintendo minute" is almost completely useless anyway as it is basically a PR gimmick).

[/rant]

aaaanyway, i'm kind of agreeing that wii will steal the show, so showing zelda and other gamecube or ds stuff earlier than wii would be advantageous (then showing zelda using the wii controller after this would rock). i can't wait... too bad i'm not going to e3.

also, about the bundle deal: i doubt it works like that, but knowing nintendo, there will be some sort of bundle deal (get the system, get a few games with it? it's sort of the reverse... though i like the idea of choosing your own games with it as well).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Any guesses at the "still-to-be-annouced" Wii secret?

obviously force-feedback underwear. makes all those sexual games come to life!

ok seriously, i have no idea. knowing nintendo, it'll either be something way out there and weird that everyone will have to accept, something weird and way out there that will be freaking awesome, or something that everyone expected, and it will fall flat on its face (such as, THE WII WILL INTERFACE WITH THE DS! AMAZING).

How ya doing, buddy?

it could be a good thing, but it wouldn't be earth-shattering

though, wireless communication would be nice- no need to buy a damn link

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

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.

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

i usually associate "gimmick" with things like the 64DD or the gamecube's microphone or the NES's lightgun - only used in a couple of games, and wasn't integral to the system.

gamecube's "gimmick" is quite integral to the system- without it, the system is just a souped-up gamecube. even if we're thinking of it as a gimmick now, we probably won't in the near future.

i'm still reserving judgement on the system until i try it out. i might hate it; i might love it- i have no way of knowing (though i have a feeling that, while it will feel odd to use, it'll grow on me, and the fact that nintendo makes the games they make won't hurt my disposition either).

I was speaking idiomatically.
