[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread

[theantidote]

Now I'm all interested in the DS again.

[SonComet]

Yeah, they really generated some interest in the ds for me. I now think it could be better than I thought it would turn out. Maybe I will consider buying one this summer instead of a psp :). I have never owned a handheld before since they offered what I considered to be an inferior but similar experience to home consoles, but the ds offers something different and maybe it will be enough to make me consider it even in the face of the tantalizing "sex" appeal of the psp (although who knows, I am a sucker for svelte looking electronics, lol).

[Destian]

Folks, it doesn't even matter anymore. The rumors and speculation were all false. Get over it. It might even be better this way. Nintendo still hasn't given away too much, yet we know to expect something big from the Nintendo Revolution. Plus, the Nintendo DS was great at E3 2005. :happy:

Since there is very little information about the R now, there is really not much to talk about though.

We need to see the controller :)

Of course not :)

Mario 128 is coming for the Revolution. Also some information about a Mario title similar to Sunshine. But we just have to wait and see..

Of course a whole new Zelda game, imagine the size and beatifull Hyrule with the new horsepowers.

Also Metroid Prime 3 is on its way. This one I definitely gonna get!

The real puzzle is what Miamoto is doing... A new game.. and mabye a new gameconsept. We all remember Pikmin don't we? So we know what he and his team can do.

was there a puzzle behind pikmin? :huh:

i Never played #2. but it is on my To Rent list.

btw. i loved pikmin :D

[Epimetheus]

Yeah, Pikmin is one hell of a franchise and a good game, probably the second most enjoyable single player game I have ever played (First being RE4, I can't put it down).

And just a few more posts until the Nintendo thread hits 1,000 posts, lets keep it up. :)

I didn't say Pikmin was a puzzle.. I meant that Myamoto is creating a new type of game again... just like Pikmin. Could be interesting :)

I think Miyamoto was still unsure of what system Mario 128 is going to show up on. I hope they release another Mario on the cube and then a new one for the Revolution.

IGNcube: Can you give us an update on Mario 128?

Shigeru Miyamoto: [Chuckles] I'm just really sorry. I think I've given people the wrong impression with Mario 128. With all the questions I'm getting about this, I really feel like I've done people a disservice. In regards to Mario 128, we're currently doing a lot of Mario experiments back in Kyoto. We are definitely going to have a new Mario for Revolution. Whether or not that's 128 or not, I can't really say. It might be a new Sunshine. We're not sure. We're doing a lot of Mario tests right now for the Revolution.

Yes it is possible :)

[cold14]

[Jeebus McChrist]

Laziness is no excuse, especially when your answer appears in the very first post of this thread.

happy viewing :)

xbox 360 comes out in november of this year and ps3 spring next year.  You guys really think that nintendo will START showing specs and demos next E3 when two competitors are already out with finished games being played and anyone will care? honestly, next E3 the halo 3 and MGS 4 playable footage will be enough to overshadow the revolution, nintendo NEEDS to get some solid info out there before the end of THIS YEAR.  Want to be secretive to save ideas? thats fine, go for it, but i really think holding out until next E3 will be like shooting themselves in the foot. 

DISCLAIMER: The following is my personal opinion...

Last year i really thought that the xbox looked ugly behinde the PS2 and that the gamecube looked the best.  This year i have to say the revolution looks like last years PS2 and sony and M$ have learned from their previous efforts.  True we dont all buy consoles for their physical apperance, but it sure is a BONUS and a completley VALID point to biitch about! :)

Nope that is not a feature of Revolution. How Do I Know.....

I actually think Nintendo had the best E3 booth due primarily to its Zelda presence. You may not be aware of this, but the company chose to section off its Zelda kiosks behind closed doors. It created a virtual Hyrule of sorts do this and it was incredibly cool. There was a perpetual hour-long wait to get into the Zelda booth, but once you were in, you didn't want to leave. The kiosks were set up in giant, darkened rooms with purple hues, fog, and tree-like walls. In one corner, you could walk on this weirdly projected image and it changed with your movement. It was a bridge over water -- right out of a Zelda game, actually - and when you crossed it, the water splashed and pieces of the bridge dunked beneath it. I spent several minutes jumping up and down on the thing and probably looked mentally disabled. To enter the next room I had to traverse a moody hallway with windows that played images from the new Zelda. And along the way I saw a Stalfos Knight imprisoned behind bars. It must have been nine-feet tall. The classic enemy started to bang against the bars and actually made me jump. Nintendo pulled this off with a combination of puppetry and animatronics. In the final room, a robotically operated wolf, which looked exactly like Link in Twilight Princess. It was kind of like Disneyland in there.

that doesn't mean it's not a feature... a sly way to introduce people to the revolution perhaps?
