i think it will be weird when children will say to their parents "I want to play with my Wii!!!", or when they'll actually be doing it their parents will come in the living room behind their kind and because of the weird controller they'll say "wtf are you doing" and the kid will say "I'm playing with my Wii" :Dbiggrin.gif

Costs too much. Probably in a year or two they will be down to $100. That's how nintendo usually seems to do things. Maybe then would be a better time if I were to buy one.

well thats very true tho,  personally i would say wait a bit, untile first price decrease, then it shouldnt be too expensive

I won a gamecube at a Six flags, my second. Should I sell it now before the price plummets or wait till its a Nintendo treasure?

ontopic, Wii will own everything but graphics this time around on the NextGen gaming market, but only a handful of people play games only for the graphics. (looks at point of omnimaga existing)

motion Wiimote concept FTW. :)smile.gif

 Stop stealing my jokes!
Wario Ware Smooth Moves will be great for that :)smile.gif

Mario is the only one still going 2D in places (I think)

I want to see a metroid with 3d graphics, but 2d style, like myschief makers on nintendo 64 and yoshi story on same console, well with better graphics of course
Title: Nintendo Wii
Post by: Madskillz on September 28, 2006, 10:11:00 am
360 lacks anygood games out there right now. Wait until Gears of War comes out, then I can say get a 360. Until it isnt worth it.

The wii is a really nice system, 250 bucks isnt that bad. As for whoever asked if you should sell your second gamecube, I would do it now...chances of it being a classic like the NES are gonna be slim to none. You will make much more on it now! I really like red steel for the wii, smash bros will be sweet and since the development package isnt really that expensive I have some sweet ideas, so who knows! ;)wink.gif

As for the PS3, it can be really interesting. Sony has introduced many new formats for devices and nearly all have failed thus far. I love my PS2 and PSP...and you can bet I will certainly be in line on launch day to get me a PS3. With their type of "arcade live" system anybody can make a game for it and submit to be playable. You just have to set up with sony ahead of time. It's free and all you do is go to a website and supply your info. So there could be some really interesting stuff coming that way too!

As for 2D being dead...Metal Slug Anthology is coming out for the PSP and wii...I hope you guys have played a MS game, if not you gotta pick this one up! Oh and ah Alien Hominid came out and was remarkably good. 2D isnt dead and I dont think it will quite ever be! :king:king2.gif

sound cool


about the wii i would have a question. I heard that Wii will be able to play all old NES, SNES and N64 games, but will those be avaliable online only? cuz over here there was some people that said it would be like the super game boy for SNES (that cartridge that allowed you to play GB games on the SNES), you plug in some kind of cartridge/adapter and put the NES/SNES/N64 cartridges in it. I hope its the second cuz then it would rocks as I alerady have some cool NES/SNES games, inlcuding a french version of Zelda A Link To The Past :Dbiggrin.gif

Post by: Madskillz on September 30, 2006, 07:46:00 am
How I heard it was going to be was a download service. In the online market place you can download games to keep on your memory stick or for other titles you can rent them for a set period of time.  There will be some games that you can download for like $1.99 and then have for keeps on your mem stick, others you can rent, they still go on your memstick though.

That is what I heard at least. I wish they could make an adaptor, then all my SNES/NES and all my other games would be playable and I wouldnt have to download and pay for them.

on 360: elder scrolls oblivion, quake4, a bunch of fps I don't remember the names of, and coming soon will be the Halo 3.  On wii, all I care about is zelda and metroid (which isn't out for forever from now) and it is on 50 dollars less the the 360 cheapo bundle.

so, I could get a rev there are no games for, or I could get a 360 with fps...

dont know if someone mentioned this, wii will use a unified friend code system so you only have to use one.  It should still be free.

Well, I will definitly buy the Wii sooner or later - 250$ (?) is really not much for such a great system (+WiiSports!) and to come back to the PS3 - it's the half of the price for the CORE-Pack!

btw, when you type

in the Home Screen of your calc and then press [Enter] afterwards, the Calculator will give "0" (=not true) as answer, which proofs my thesis that calculators think... :evil:evillaugh.gif:lolz:s003.gif

WII=NINTENDO,NINTENDO=KIDDIE-STUFF,and WII=KIDDIE-STUFF are all true though...(as long as you just resest your ram or cleared out all the real variables) and wii sports, ugh.  In the next 2 quarters, a total of but 6 mature games for wii and a crap load of kid games...and that means far to little eviceration for necro to pay 250 bucks.

I just bought a DS, and I'm buying a Wii.

If my past console purchases are any indication, Nintendo will be out of the console business in two years tops :Ptongue.gif

Heh, I just bought a DS a couple months back... I already broke and replaced the top LCD once. XDsmiley.gif

As to console gaming, I will probably buy a 360 in a couple years. The only real motivation for that is that Halo 3 is coming out for it, and I want to finish the story.
