[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread

[Epimetheus]

That would be a sly way of doing it but I doubt it.

By the way 1000th post for this thread. :)

[Amnesia]

that is so amazing!!!!

I want to go to a gaming zone like that.

I thought the "Revolution" part of the revolution is supposed to be the controller? I doubt that video is a feature, because that is a HUGE area of space that you'd need... And I know almost everywhere i've played video games in a house... there isn't enough room for something like that.... But it is freaking awesome...

I'm a Sony man myself... but Nintendo is really starting to impress me with this system if they keep it up, I'll definately be getting this along with a PS3 :) (Y)

LOL... well this supposedly online system where you can download all the old NES, SNES, and N64 games... that's mainly the only thing i'm talking about :)

ah yes but think beyond the boundaries... you might not "control" the game with a physical object like current controllers..

true true... very good point...

as absolutely awesome as that video is... i still don't think that a "controller" like what's shown in that video is feasible... People just don't have the room in their room to use it. i know i don't.

It's not gonna be a video touch mat. Reason being, I don't have enough room for it. If I don't, I know there are plenty of others who won't. Nintendo is not so stupid to sell something that 75% of people won't be able to use...

And even if it was smaller like DDR pad small, or Nintendo track pad small, is EVERY game going to make you stand up to play it? I ussually like to relax when gaming.

Could that be an option for a DDR style game??? Very possibly, but it's not going to be the revolutionary feature. period.

yeah... my sentiments exactly.

i personally have enough room. but the one disadvantage about my room that i play my games in is.. its next to windows.. when its a bright sunny day and i try playing my game. but i can't because the sunlight is too bright and ruining my view of the game.

thats its disadvantage to me.

They don't always keep out the sunlight. :no:

I guess that gaming pad thing is pretty cool, but i honeslty doubt it's the revolutionary feature. It'd be pretty cool. But i bet that's boost the price of the Revo pretty high. Mabye Nintendo plans to add that to their stores for party playing of games on the Revo? That'd be cute.

[Amnesia]

LOL, imagine if you did just sit in the dark with your Revo lol

[kernatch]

lol, just so you know i don't think it'll be anything like that either. just wanted to add stuff to the mix..

Just think of a controller that can play Nes, Super Nes, N64, Gamecube and Revolution games.

Only thing I can think of is a lcd touch screen controller.

Actually, with the GCN controller you could play any Nintendo game from the prevoius consoles. Now, the Rev games, that's another story.

One thing I was thinking. If this thread got so big with just the few things Nintendo let out, can you imagine how big it'll get when they release more info, or when the actual thing comes out?

[Chanser]

A controller made out of putty? :p

Lets hope Nintendo really amaze us by the end of this year or I will cry for a week :cry:.

ive been thinking.. if it was a VR system. the funny thing about it would be.. why cant it play virtual boy games?

that cancels out VR.

Who's to say it can't? ;)

I honestly think the revolution will be playing games in 3d, without the 3d glasess...if you know what i mean. That'd be amazing. And i'd be blown the fck away. But would that require something in the TV? Who knows...

[Chanser]

I think be would be like that PS3 cups demo at the E3 conference.

[boygasm]

I've been reading around the forums...and the GC is more powerful than the PS2...? That's a shocker to me. It's lightyears smaller than the PS2, and overpowers it. Think about it. The PS3 is huge, and it looks quite powerful. But watch...the Revolution is going to blow the PS3 away. (once again) But it think Nintendo may know what they're doing with this, they could seriously have the Revolution steal the PS3's thunder. I'm looking forward to seeing Nintendo have mroe 3rd party support, it could be as big as the others. If not bigger. Think about it...think about the GC's power, imagine if they'd had more 3rd party support. I'm sad now, and i'm ranting. Bye.

an interesting article about the revolution. just by reading this you would think the revolution is nothing. But one quote caught my eye.

There are two flaps on the top, one which surprisingly houses four wired GameCube controller ports. As you will know, the Rev is fully compatible with GameCube hardware, so it's fully understandable these ports are included, though the significance of their inclusion must not be overlooked. They are there because this machine has a new controller. It's not a gamepad. It is, according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, "A Revolution".

How are Gamecube controller ports "A Revolution". :blink:

the "revolution" refers to the NEW gamepad....

the controller ports are there just for backwards compatibility
