[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread


Recommended Posts

?ve been ragged by more than a few of you for not posting more Rev news the past week, and I completely understand your fanboy positions. That said, when I got a burble out of NOA HQ before the weekend that they would announce its modest power in USA Today (2-3 times more powerful than Gamecube???), did you really want me to tell you? When I got wind that they would NOT announce a price point or specific release window, did you really want to know? And when I got an adamant whisper that they would NOT showcase the controllers or special tech, did you really want to be disappointed with the news BEFORE their press conference this morning? As I?ve said before?Nintendo will wait until NEXT year to make its last big splash in the console market. Until then? Play Zelda. If it comes out on time. Or buy a 360. If you can afford it. In the end, does it really matter in the scope of all things great and small?

A few years ago, I might?ve felt incredibly disappointed - disillusioned - maybe even ?shaken? by the lack of news, and the prospects of having Sony or Microsoft shepherd the future of gaming, and watching Nintendo limp slowly into that good console night - Yamauchi pulling Scrooge McDuck dives in his big vault in Kyoto. But in the end? Nintendo will keep making games, folks. Whether the discussions go back on the table between N and M regarding co-development - or whether they pull a Sega and go 3rd party by 2010 - the nature of gaming will remain what it is at its core. Simulation. Exploration. Goal-setting. Distraction. Entertainment. Tribe-building. Virtual destruction.

thats only one peice to the puzzle gone missing, he has only told us things that have been proven in the publicity stunt (conference on the 17th) nintendo pulled and in the ON video. Which to me, I believe, is a video showing what they had planned for the top heads of nintendo before it actually went into production.

I think it has to do with the games being unique to the user in that they can somehow control the game through the senses,

The controller I think will pick up impulses somehow in the body, like those exercise machines measure heart rate... and the game reacts depending on your response, giving a different experience each time... that?s my go at i:laugh:h:

this "right brain" thing is key...

All these outrageous rumors actually do not make nintendo look better, rather make nintendo fans dissapointed cause they have been constantly fed these over the expectation fantasies that are far from the truth.

STOP IT.

Yea, you're right. I think I'll just stop posting specilations and wait until tomorrow :)

Stop bringing up Nintendo On, please. It wasn't real. It's made by a Spaniard that's done Nintendo videos before.

He has never been connected with Nintendo other than being a fan, and will probably never be connected with them in any other way.

Don't stop this is fun.

Even if all of this turns out to be a very huge hoax we still had fun doing it.

But I have checked some things out and some of this is getting really interesting, I mean how can ALL of that be a just a hoax? You have photos of the DS at their conference with the date set as 05/19/05, you have a man named Aries right ON EVERY single one of his prediction and you can spell the name Aries using the name Reggie Fils-Aime by just switching some letters around.

You have him saying at the press conference "Puzzle" and "Rightbrain", and you have the whole of Nintendo being very low key on the Revolution. You have a website that is Registered to a man named Reginald F. his name IS REGINALD F. for gods sake.

KEep it up guys, and damn this thread is getting red hot just TWO days and were closing in on the Sony thread.

And as I said we're having fun, at least the speculators are, and Nintendo intends people to have fun right?

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
