Pre-Pre-E3 Wii thread

Umm... I do believe the "Oui" post was a joke?

If not it was seriously hilarious anyway.

Most amazing jew boots

No, it was deathly serious. Why do you even post? =/

How ya doing, buddy?

No shit, I just got the news reading the new Penny Arcade strip and was like "Wie?!" (German for "how" or in this context "wtf").

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah i'm not sure what Nintendo was thinking when they said no one would mispronounce it. There are a few students from Germany in my school right now, and when they all repeated the name after me, they pronounced it Vee.

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

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.

Heh, I couldn't help cracking up. Vee...they're so silly.

Yeah, I checked that out. It's interesting, EA actually isn't going to half-ass a port/multi-gen game.

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

Actually they pronounced it correctly - in the German language a W is pronounced like a V. The sound of the english pronunciation of the letter W does not exist in German anyway, so many Germans tend to substitute it with the next best sound. You'd be quite silly if you tried to properly pronounce the German word "Nacht"

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Quote:

We are trying to release this title as a launch title," Nagoshi said. "With all the possible ways to control AiAi and friends, this will be a must have title to go with anyone's purchase of the Revolution.

Does that count as confirmation that Monkey Ball will be available at launch? He does say "trying".

Anyway the article also states that there'll be no story this time. Monkey Ball cut-scenes and stories were awsome . "MAGICAL SPELL IS EI EI POO!"

Wiireport

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hmm.....The Nintendo Wii.....I'm not sure if this will help their sales or not...i mean, come on, there are dumbasses who don't get a game just because the box art sucks or the name sounds like shit. I think it's creative compared to everything else. I'd really have to say Nintendo has come up with some interesting names for their systems, nix the pre-n64 systems (Nintendo, Super Nintendo (I guess Famicom), Nintendo 64). But yeah, It's better than just calling it the same with a number after it. e.g Playstation 1, 2, 3 or Xbox -> Xbox 360. Still, I can't imagine France....lol...

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

Oh, but oh! Imagine the puns you can use!!!

"I can wee on you with one controller!"
"My analog stick will weee your ass off"
"Let's play WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
(Insert another bad Chaofan joke here)

(One of the FEW people that actually like Wii's name.)


Mark my words, it'll become as used as "let's do a google search." Google in Chinese roughly sounds like the slang for Penis. Imagine that.

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

I just thought of this, but competing companies can also use the "Wii" puns against Nintendo.

"Wii-ners play Wii"
"Players play Playstation"

I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't know what the laws are regarding this sort of thing, but i think Nintendo would have to allow the use of their product's name in competitor's advertisments.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

False.

"Genesis does what Nintendon't"

FELIPE NO

Hopefully the competitors do use it, so Wii gets even more attention.

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

"Xbox 360: Hey, at least we didn't call it Wii"

::360 still loses because it has multiple numbers in it's name::

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Guys I just had an orgasm...and its not yet E3.

ZOMG Wii.

Pikmin 3!

Oh check out this lame shit. Apparently this is Tony Hawk Wii and is going to be shown at E3:

The graphics SUCK ass on that from what I can see. No clue what they mean.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That seems like it's going to be the first in line on the recycled gameplay department.

I wonder just how many games are going to do the exact same thing but add a point stick feature in the mix and call it a brand new game.

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

"The graphics SUCK ass on that from what I can see. No clue what they mean."

Pay attention to the freaking excellent character model. Everything else is obviously thrown together, but that alone looks excellent.
It's a terrible video, though. Quality is shit and it's slow and buggy as hell.

Most amazing jew boots

Oh, is that what it meant...

Well, what was I suppose to think from that video? It didn't look like anything new or unique. Nothing really to dish out some cash for.

P.S. I'm sorry your football team lost ;_;

Before or after the one second of seeing him? Hardly anything to get from it. :\

Considering that's just a testing demo, I wouldn't be surprised if they improved a lot more over that. Still, we all know that Tony Hawk games suck ass.

That's hardly a demonstration video. It might as well have shown nothing. The quality's crap. Also, it doesn't look like actual gameplay. If that video's real, then it's most probebly a quickly put together demonstration (in terms of visuals) to showcase the controls on Wii. Also, even though the actual character looks great (especially his shirt), it's not like Tony Hawk games are fit to show off console visuals or innovations. Wii's garanteed to be at least slightly more powerful than GC which is just fine if you ask me.

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.

When games do that, I don't see that warrenting a whole new system for. I know the games can still be good but my gripe is the fact that they exaggerate the whole 'innovative' thing for games that barely do anything new. I don't have a problem with games having the same concept on a system like the Revolution or DS but don't go calling it 'innovative' and completely new and unique. (Even though calling it 'old' wouldn't really be a selling point)

How ya doing, buddy?

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!
