yeah, its like digging a big sand put, then laying in it expecting for it to stay, next thing you know it, your gasping for air, i only see nintendo in selling platforms for like 3 more years, they will stick with portable, cuz thats the only thing they are semi good at

Really, if the name of a system affects your decision to buy it or not, your priorities are a bit messed up. If anything, the new name will generate more publicity and that can only be good for Nintendo.

Will the Nintendo Wii use Nintendo Wii-Fii?


When I look at my cost vs. benefit with the Gamecube (how many games I have for it) compared to my Xbox and PS2, even Nintendo's lesser price for their console makes their system a bust.

I don't see why third parties still develop for Nintendo.

I have maybe 15 Nintendo games versus 80 for for for the Xbox.

The Wii can piss off. I only had a GC cause' a female I was going out with gave it to me for my birthday.

When you dumped her you could have thrown the GC at her, with the handle it makes lanching a breeze.

It's too big. The Wii should be small enough though.

Now that I think about it, the Gamecube was a bigger waste of money than the N64. I played more games on that than the GC.

Now Nintendo expects folk to shell out money for a new system that has a suped up fishing rod remote controller and games on every emulator made.

sure you have to wait 6 months for a decent game, but they are on there, and no one's managed to get that whole party genre right like nintendo :snooty:

I don't think it's that bad and I'm still considering getting a Nintendo as my first next gen console (after missing Nintendo at the last gen, opting for a PS2 instead, and feeling the need to play Zelda and Mario again).

The Gamecube was a great system if you wanted play a handful of games. As I said, my GC library is super small although I had all the systems. I'd imagine if I only had a GC that my library would've been slightly bigger 'cause I'd have got all the multi-platform titles on the GC but even then it would've still been a worse investment. This is even with fact that the GC cost less.

I'm just glad I didn't pay for it. Resident Evil 4 was clearly the best game on the system but it was one of few good games making the GC a worthy purchase.

Secondly, the Gamecube controller sucks major ass, imo.

That's true, the only real good game on the GC was a 'M' rated.

it wasn't though. that's the misconception that's causing nintendos downfall. the gamecube has quite a few uberpwnage games. they don't have tits and swearing though so lolboys decide they're bad before even trying them.

Well there was:

Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2 Echoes
Super Mario Sunshine
Resident Evil 4
LOZ Wind Waker
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II Rogue Leader
Star Wars Rogue Squadron III Rebel Strike
maybe there are about 5 more.

It's still a suck ass list. I personally didn't care for the Metroid Prime series that much. I still beat them though.

the Wii is not a graphics hotrod and it was never intended to be. it's a GameCube with improved processor speeds. they're really placing their bet on the appeal of the controller and the built-in NES/SNES/N64 emulators.

personally i am eager to try the controller, but i'm also a little wary of their "we're trying to make a console that non-gamers want to play too" claims. doesn't seem like they're following through on that. i mean yes, if grandma is dying to play FPS and tennis games then the Wii controller will make it easier for her, but where are the games that are supposed to appeal to grandma. the kinds of games they're showing so far are just not very unusual or surprising.

I've watched the entire lot of Wii clips...i cant wait to try the new controller out...The new Zelda looks awsome, Metroid Prime doesn't have the graphics but it looks fun.

Looks like thanks to Nintendo, the whole gameplay vs graphics argument will last for another 1000 years. Oh and Red Steel will awsome to play. I just want to play the baseball game though =D

Sony has a similar controller, better graphics, and the new Zelda will be for the Gamecube and the Wii (with little graphical improvement).

Thanks but no thanks.

I'm all for innovation and equility of life,I guess it's hard not to get caught up with the battle of which system has more power and such.

It's the classic Atari vs. Intellivision arguement relived.

It's still sort of funny when I see the new Wii controller,it reminds me of the South Park episode where Mr. Garrison invents a device more convenient than air travel.

It's apparent the big N likes to do things diffrent,the N64 would of had a larger share of the market (maybe top dog) if it would have evolved into a cd console.

But one can't denie their successe with handheld gaming.

Lol that reminded me of the Family Guy episode "Stewies first Birthday" where Peter was playing "Virtual stuck behind a bus" arcade game at Cheesie Charlie's.

Let's hope they don't bring something like that out.
