I'm making this topic for anyone who cares about the nintendo Wii.

From what I've seen, all of the games look fucking AMAZING. Especially Red Steel, Metroid Prime 3, Sonic, zelda, and Super Mario Galaxy which is the new Mario game, and it's not mario sunshine thank god. Mario Galaxy looks REALLY amazing visually, awesome fluid " dreamcast like " graphics. Of course it has the little annoying noises that mario makes ever since Mario 64 but eh. Red steel looks crazy, I saw footage of a guy using the remote to have a swordfight with another guy and he slashes the guys leg and the guy falls to his knees, and the guy playing the game rests the sword on the guys neck as he's begging for his life, CRAZY.

Now I know why they were so secretive about the system, they never should have announced the motion sensitive controller cause now PS3 is like LOOK, we made a new controller and it's motion sensitive.

The thing that's confusing the hell out of me though is the Wii's new controller

 

I read something that says this might not work with Wii games, that it only works playing the nes, snes, 64, TG16 games which would SUCK ass. They weren't clear about what games specifically it would work with which makes me nervous. Anyways, this is definately the system I'm spending my money on this year.

Thank God they're having a normal controller.

Edit: Wait that controller might not work for the other games? Are they insane? I know I'm not trying to play a video game with a tv remote.

[hey alex]

[golden child]

that's the video that shows previews of all of the 27 finished games. The new Mario looks freaking awesome

and WHO CARES what it's called for frigs sake. No one was saying this back in the days of the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64 etc. There was the Nintendo 64, now there's the Nintendo Wii. I for one am pumped as hell about it. Even though I love nintendo, I don't always praise them. I thought the DS was du mb as hell but I think they realised what they did and the Wii is going to kick ass.

All those games look lame and the tv remote controller thing is beyond retarded. What a waste.

[EyeballGrowth]

Ah, you're just an X-box fan

And you're also extremely in the minority that belief.

[IntoTheGroovey]

Nah I'm still enjoying my Atari Jaguar and 3DO systems.

[fishmonkey]

did you see the video for the line of people waiting to play the Wii ar E3? fuckin hell, would not want to be at the back of that. i think the Wii is actually gonna be good, i thought the controller was a bit silly at first and then i though the new name was a total joke, but i suppose whats in a name? its all about the games.
PS3 will kick its ass though, and i would be inclined to buy playstation first

[Alex's Trip]

I think the remote controller is going to be cool...Nintendo is the only company really innovating and revolutionizing the gaming world.

[SolidZach]

I just saw the new super smas. bros. video and it looks really cool. You can play as solid snakes for MGS in it. The trailer was very funny, check it out!

[golden child]

ill watch the video when i get home, i dont have high hopes though

[johnnywinternoshow]

i always wanted a 3DO, my friend had one and I thoght they were the future of video games. I remember the first time he was playing it, it was a golf game and to me back then the character looked like a real golfer on tv, it probably didn't look anything like that.

this might have been the game

 

[finding nobody]

that controller looks awsome. nentindo is doin something unique with the controllers and stuff

[EyeballGrowth]

The reason the Wii will be better than the PS3 is because the Wii is going to have better games and it's going to cost $300 less. I'd say Nintendo kicks it's ass. So the PS3 has slightly better graphics big deal, and I stress slightly, I've seen in game videos of games from both machines, the Wii and the 360 use the same chip but yeah the PS3 has some new spaceage graphics chip that slightly outdoes the Wii and the 360. It doesn't matter though because the Wii is gonna have amazing games, and the PS3 and XBOX are gonna get stuck with every crappy movie licence game imaginable and tons of terrible american made action games and World war II sims and stupid strategic millitary tactical counterstrike clones that have been coming out for like 5 years. Booooring. I know there's a 'few' good american developers, but the Japanese ones make the coolest games. Plus Sony ripped off the Wii's controller idea. They're gimps. Yeah the PS3 will be good if you wanna play Killzone 2!! God of war 2!!! Medal of honor 4, Grand theft auto 12 or splinter cell 20. Or like Scarface the game or whatever other BOOORING ass games they pull out of their asses.

The funniest part is nintendo didn't have any problem showing off all their games and showing in-game movies, but PS3 and XBOX 360 didn't show any in-game footage, Just cutscenes and prerendered CG movies. No wonder the Nintendo was the biggest attraction.

Anyways I used to have a 3DO. I remember seeing people playing the N64 when it came out and thinking the graphics were terrible and blurry compared to the 3DO which I'd had for like I think a year or two before the N64 came out. That was the only downside to the N64, it had some really fun games but the graphics were blurry and unrecognizable. Think of how much better it would have been if it was CD based.

[trance feeeedback]

I guess nintendo revolution was just the code name. Remember when the gamecube was known as the nintendo dolphin?

[pantophobia]

wasn't the Nintendo 64 at one point codenamed revolution as well?

ps3 is really looking under whelming to me, sony is trying to saturate the blu-ray onto the market, while most people can't fucking afford to go hi def for a few more years, it was smart for nintendo not to go that route now, technology is moving far too fast for most people and only the really rich can keep pace, the 360 is in a similar situation, but they have a much better catalog then sony right now, just wish i could figure out the fucking controller, i feel like i am gonna have a carpal tunnel meltdown with all the joysticks when i was playing call of duty in store

but nintendo is focusing in the right direction, making it a more interactive experience then ever before

[Alex's Trip]

I can't fucking wait...is there a release date yet? Or a rumored one?

The controll looks so awsome, I don't get why a bunch of people rag on it, especially since they've never played it.

Reasons why the Wii will be the best:

Super Smash Brother Brawl
Zelda Twilight Princess
Mario Galaxy
Sonic whatever
Metroid whatever
et cetera

[nomadicfollower]

I might get this, just based on the first three games you posted.
