May 10, 200619 yr Nintendo has launched the site for their upcoming console, the Wii. In it, you can see various information on their console philosophy, the controller, and on upcoming software releases. Uhm, Nunchuk controller?
May 10, 200619 yr The guy demonstrating at E3 was a little nuts... "You can stab your enemies by thrusting down with the controller... oh yeah... feels so good... ooooh yeeeeah! Don't you just love it!!!" There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
May 10, 200619 yr i wonder how they will handle unorthodox movement: e.g. climbing, rolling, dodging, grappling, ducking, sliding... it'd be pretty cool if the controller acted as the person's axis of movement, then you slide the controller in a direction, or roll your wrist over, etc. And, we'll have some great videos of people trying to play 4-player tennis.

May 10, 200619 yr No... 16 player multi ball tennis... with random rockets to dodge... There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
May 10, 200619 yr Theres no knowing how the controllers actually feel before you try them. I doubt the guy theyt brought up on stage yesterday hadnt been on the rehearsal and familiarised himself with it DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

May 10, 200619 yr You know I REALLY hate them pictures they have of happy people injoying there console.. they do it for all consoles now but its lame. Completely unreal and doesnt make me want to buy it anymore because some pretty models are payed to play it.
May 10, 200619 yr Well I'm happy when I'm playing my console. When we play MP we are not that disimiliar from the pictures (except we dont dress up to play). I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
May 10, 200619 yr Um... they do that for every product on earth now, including toothpaste.

Completely unreal and doesnt make me want to buy it anymore because some pretty models are payed to play it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But if they used real pictures you'd be looking at fat slobs with stained t-shirts and half eatten pizza scattered about the table... I'll take the pretty models over that any day. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts

May 10, 200619 yr I'm sure, I already move normal controllers around making funny faces. But naw, I was talking about fat, slobby, pizza-loving lowlives.

May 10, 200619 yr Hands up if you're a model There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
May 10, 200619 yr *Hand up* Super.. model.. SUPER. Anyway I know they do that for every product on earth I was just pointing out its really fake looking.
May 10, 200619 yr But still appreciated... There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
May 10, 200619 yr Heh, I'm sold. I just hope there is a steady stream of games. For the downloadable games... where do they download to? I didnt see any specific mention of a hard drive. Whats was surprising and cool is that we will be able to download old genesis/megadrive titles too!

Whats was surprising and cool is that we will be able to download old genesis/megadrive titles too! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 512MB of flash memory or some sort of memory card. Games are quite small.

May 10, 200619 yr Oh yes i forgot... the upper limit for cartridges appeared on the N64 where Ocarina was something like 32MB IIRC.
May 10, 200619 yr I think Resident Evil 2 was the largest cartridge sold, weighing in at about 64megs. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
May 10, 200619 yr I found my N64. Golden Eye edition with the gold controller. Only found three games (Ocarina of Time is missing but I've got the Master Quest version). Golden Eye Majora's Mask Pokemon Stadium I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
May 10, 200619 yr No Perfect Dark? Or you just didn't find it, did you? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
May 10, 200619 yr No Perfect Dark? Or you just didn't find it, did you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No definately didnt own Perfect Dark. I know I had the Donkey Kong game because I found the expansion still in the machine. Been playing Majora's Mask . Fun , except for stabbing myself with the controller a couple of times. I think the four I mentioned and Donkey Kong are all of them. Wasnt much of a console gamer at that time. Edited May 10, 200619 yr by ShadowPaladin V1.0 I have to agree with Volourn.

May 10, 200619 yr The wii is *begging* for a game where you can wield two guns at once, or a sword and gun at once. Fighting a bossdawg with your sword while you're also shooting some of his cronies = gold. Or just shoot everyone with dual guns. Instant classic.

May 10, 200619 yr ! the gun is nifty, if not seemingly unnessasary with the current controller my question with the retro pad and the gun is, do they come with the Wii or games or do I have to buy them seperately?
