[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread

Exactly. Quit dreaming people. The Revolution will NOT be a VR machine. If it is, I will eat my words. Literally. I will print out this post and eat it :p

I will hold you to that, consider your words, marked. :p

Take Care.

[insert link to auto manufacturer] improve the stability, add a few gyroscopes and thrusters and there you go - flying car.

Now your being ignorant. The technology was working at a 2X350X250 resolution, and headtracking was on the horizon. Is it so hard to believe that they can't make some improvements... besides, 350X250 is like the average 20" tv screen.

All we need is someone to mass produce to make it affordable.

Actually, no. 350x250 is a lower resolution than my PDA. SDTV is even higher res than that. If you notice, I was being sarcastic because your point was non-existant. More later. It's lunch time.

A regular 20" tv screen is 640x480, all regular tv today is 640x480 be it 13" or 35". 4:3 aspect ratio basically afaik

They have headsets with much higher resolutions. Siemens was just trying to make an affordable solution. The tech is available. Besides they were saying in that article which obviously you haven't read, that the display would be more than likely changed and improved.

EDIT: and we passed the PS3 thread in 3 days when the PS3 thread has been open for 3 weeks already...

My TV screen can do up to 1024x768 and it's not HDTV. What does that mean?

1024X768 is the definition of HDTV

IGN interview with Miyamato and doesnt seem anything will happen today. Miyamato emphasized THEY WILL NOT SHOW CONTROLLER.

[Danrarbc]

EDIT: http://mozlapunk.web-log.nl/log/2581677 This website has ALOT of coherent and easily found speculation on it, and the log that is posted here has confirmed Nintendo is holding a second press conference by proof of a photo taken by an IGN Insider and backed by other Insiders comments.

585942790[/snapback]

Supposedly this is from someone who has IGN insider.  This was floating around on the Nitnendo forums:

585943132[/snapback]

That wasn't on the IGN page at all. The poster's brother told him that IGN had a story up and sent him a pic, we spent a hour trying to tell the guy how to host it. Then his brother found out that he put it on the IGN Boards and told him it was just a joke, he made it it wasn't on IGN at all.

No other posters backed it up, a couple did post their own photoshopped IGN pages though :p

For one, the link doesn't work, but I went to IGN and found it. Second, Miyamoto says that they don't want others taking their ideas, but now that the other systems are unveiled, Nintendo may show us something later on.

Speaking of that, does anyone know anything specific (and have sources) of another Nintendo press conference? I know about the Reggie interview on Gamespot a couple hours from now, but I doubt anything will happen there because, so far, the Gamspot coverage has sucked.

PS1 didnt have analog stick and quickly got one out after they saw N64 with one. The video works btw, you probably on Mac or something.

[Laughing-Man]

wtf is this, I was refreshing the webcams and my monitor is dark so if someone could tell me what it is.

[TheDreamX]

What webcam is that? Where are all of these great sources? I have just been refreshing Neowin and IGN as well as watching the streaming Gamspot coverage.

looks like link in wolf form ;D

Okay, I was just asking. My monitor here is really dark and I saw that weird thing.

This is what I am looking at. http://www.nintendo.com/e3_2005/webcams.html

The Zelda section of Nintendo's booth.

The people that have been there said it rocks. You enter into an area designed to look like a forest, with trees and fog and lighting going off. Then when done with the village area demos in that room you go through a dungeon with a surprise or two, and emerge in the area pictured there, with an animatronic/puppet wolf, and the Forest Temple demos.

Nintendo E3 Webcams

That's the Zelda "arena" of the Nintendo booth. That's a puppet of the wolf incarnation of Link. More details here.

Oh lol. I was looking at people playing on the consoles and when the camera refreshed there was that weird blob sitting uptop with people around it. Dammit, I want to demo the game, I wish I was there.

Neh, Sega had analogue before Nintendo with the Sega 3D controller that was made for Nights on the Saturn.

from nintendo.com

"Two disc formats, one slot: Instead of a tray, a single, innovative, self-loading media bay will play both 12-centimeter optical discs used for the new system as well as Nintendo GameCube discs. Owners will have the option of equipping a small, self-contained attachment to play movies and other DVD content"

what? why? that is a big letdown :(

anyway, seems like this was a dud..

[TheDreamX]

"A Man Called Reggie" should be running now. Does anyone have an alternate stream or have access to the live one?

[Erich]

It's 9 minutes past 12:00pm pst, any word on this nintendo conspiracy theory?

[Gamenews]

IGNcube: Do we have to wait until E3 2006 for more Revolution info, or do you have a new Space World coming later this year?

Shigeru Miyamoto: That hasn't been determined. We haven't decided yet. I'm sure that there will be information that we'll get out somewhere, somehow, through developers or something. I'm sure there will be some leaks. But next year at E3, everything will be public as far as Revolution is concerned. It will all be out there, which should tell you that we're well into it. It's not that we don't have anything. So next year you'll get it all.

I think he means eventually a third party developper going to leak information. It will eventually happen just like XBOX 360.
