Hrm... can't get that movie to play.
I only need 2 more NES games (US)!
Oh please. Just because the internet said so doesn't make it true. There's absolutely no way in hell there was a 24% return rate.Originally Posted by can_dude
I'm curious, if the Wii is supposed to lack super high def and all the other bells and whistles, and is supposed to be a cheap system; why does EB gave the games listed at $59.99
After all the cool stuff they've announced at E3 I kinda want one, but I definately won't buy it if they're jumping on the $60 bandwagon.
i wouldn't bet any money at that hezeus, seriously i couldn't believe how many people had to return their launch 360 at the store i work atOh please. Just because the internet said so doesn't make it true. There's absolutely no way in hell there was a 24% return rate.

That's just EB covering their asses. Since 360 games are $60, they're guessing Wii games might be too. It's okay to guess high, then can always lower the price later. But it's bad to guess low. If they say you can get Wii games at $50, then you pre-order and later they raise it up to $60, you'd be pissed.

Well, the Revolution now quite possibly goes down as the coolest codename for a system of all-time, right along with the Katana. I should make a seperate topic for this, with a poll of all codenames (Dolphin, Ultra 64, Project Reality, etc.).
Quite the epic thread to just jump into. Anyway, played Wii at E3 and loved it - especially Sonic Wild Fire and Elebits. The system sort of reminds me of the Dreamcast for some reason, which is fine by me as the DC is my favorite system ever.
Wii related: There have been rumors on the net recently about Twilight Princess for Gamecube being released within a month or soo even one sight -Gamepro.com- stating that it could release in a couple weeks
anyone have any info on this?
If Wii doesnt have a version of Samba de Amigo, it
would be a crying shame. The system is crying out for it.
And i think it would sell a lot of copies. The controller
is perfect for it, so no more shelling out for maracas.
The only problem may be you might need two controllers,
but you could still package that together and keep costs
low.
Wii is really starting to excite me now. Gamefaqs.com did
a poll, and about a quarter of the people (over 12000)
said they would ONLY be buying a Wii. I think Nintendo has
got it right this time, but I have one worry. Will developers
all make their games easier because its a new system, and
it will take the average joe a while to get used to? It already
looks like Super Mario Galaxy has been made easier, I hope
it is only the launch games which are. Still Im going to buy
one for the same reason I buy Lightgun games, I want to
feel like Im more immersed, and controllers dont do that
for me anymore.

Looks like the Wii at E3 ran off modified GC hardware. Those games looked nice, but they are going to look even nicer on the real Wii.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Number 1 in the 'hood g!
I read an article on this yesterday. I really dont think we will be seeing a graphics upgrade (ok with me) until some of the later gen Wii games start showing up. Nintendo wouldn't garuntee a Q4 launch without knowing where their system is in develpoment. If they were still working on the development of the graphics card, I really doubt they would make that launch window.
But then again, I'm not a fancy analyst.
So, yeah, what you saw at E3 is what you get folks. It's not a bad thing at all. Did you see Super Mario Galaxy?
OMG if this is true... (imagines Twilight Princess running on an actual Wii) I was fine with the look of what they showed @ E3 but holy shit... I'm speechless, completely floored.
The extra cord, not the nunchaku one, but the long one that trailed off frame (G4 E3 live) when some shmoe was playing, kinda bugged me. I wanted to know why a wireless control needed a cord like that. I figured with all the demo they were doing they most likely had to plug the Wiimote into an outlet for power cause batteries wouldn't hold up to hours of demo. I never thought that cord could be plugged into a Gamecube though!!!
I can see why N was kinda low key about the whole thing though. E3 was more to show the Wiimote and how it worked. I can see alot of people being very shocked when they first try out a Wii kiosk... I don't think it will be a huge difference but I'm sure it will be at least smoother and cleaner looking which is welcome.
Who would have thought that Nintendo would rock E3 and next gen gaming with a Gamecube! LMAO
I'm not in the least bit surprised about all that stuff running on modified cubes. The cube is a damned underrated system, especially for textures. Just because it can't display in the ungodly resolutions of the Xbox doesn't make it graphically incompetent. I think some of its effect capabilities more than make up for its shortcomings in other areas. I will contest ANY claim that the cube was a failure, either technologically or from a retail standpoint.
Anyway, as far as launch units go, Nintendo is fireproof. I have *never* had a Nintendo product fail on me in any way, shape, or form. It's just a given that their launch systems will be perfect, they wouldn't sell them otherwise.
Sony and Microsoft, capable as they may be at designing hardware, still don't have the mindset of a console producer. They come from the world where revisions, patches, and fixes is okay, whereas for a home videogame console it needs to just come out of the box and work perfectly from the first time you fire it up to the last time you shut it off.
Anyway, I <3 Nintendo right now. I have no vested interest in the other consoles failing, I'll buy them both, but I'd really love to see Nintendo take back some ground this generation and put an end to the madness that has become our hobby of late.
I think the "classic controller" should be supplemented by an adapter that allows one to connect the original controllers instead.

Wow, I feel dumb for disagreeing with the whole 'Wii in a Gamecube' theory. It looks like Nintendo came out today and admitted to it.

i wonder if nintendo power will start packing in demo discs for wii games
Well, basically they are saying that it was just the Wii hardware in a gamecube shell. They aren't saying that it was modified gamecube hardware.
<Evan_G> i keep my games in an inaccessable crate where i can't play them
Didn't SNK recently sign on for the Wii also?
My Gaming Collection (Now at Google Drive!)
Naa
the Retro controller that Nintendo has planned for the Wii will be just fine for any of the classic legacy games from NES to N64.
In fact once I saw the "classic controller" it was the final selling point for me and now im REALLY looking forward to the Wii moreso than anything besides MGS4.
