[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread

SEGA seems to know what they're doing with the DS.  Feel the Magic was an awesome game. :D

Agreed. What made this game GREAT?

INNOVATIVE IDEA.

Its not a port.

Its not multi-platform.

It actually used the DS (WiFi excluded)

Perfect...if we can see support like that for Revolution, and even DS, then we are in good shape.

Nintendo should do something like this.

That'd shut the fanboys up. :D

(Sorry for the 1 minute in Photoshop mockup, but you get the point. :)

Nintendo hasn't ruled out the posibility of doing that kind of thing either :p

Guys, check this out. The guys here have some crazy ideas in the form of mock-ups. The funny thing is that even though they are mock-ups, most if not all are seriously implementable. Some pick here for those lazy enough no to click :p

Hah I love those. Very smart ;)

Interesting Miyamoto Interview

And it's not just Zelda who'll be getting a next-gen makeover - everyone's favourite Italian plumber is set to star in a new game that will "surprise many people," according to Shigsy.

"Mario is and always has been a concept title from his birth. We are always looking for new ways of playing with him, manipulating him, to create something new and unique. We're in the midst of preparing something special for his future, something never before seen.

"Give us the benefit of the doubt. I think we'll present you with a new way to have fun."

Miyamoto also revealed that Mario is getting a brand new sidekick, but kept firmly schtum on the details. However, he did confirm that Mario 128 is simply a working title for the forthcoming game.
"We will be revealing many details soon... While our gamers are sleeping, we're busy thinking up new ideas. But while they're playing, we're playing as well," he concluded.

Mario 128 has been in development for so long it is starting to become a Duke Nukem Forever. That and Nintendo EAD takes their sweet time making games. Mario 128 was slated to show in like the last three E3's, then Miyamoto decided to pull it out saying there are elements of the game no one has seen before and he doesn't want competators to steal it. Mario 64 was pretty much built around the N64 controller so one could probably safely assume that the secret elements of Mario128 have to do with the controller. I just hope Mario 128 can provide the same "WOW" factor as Mario 64 did when first shown.

Words of thruth :)

Hey, I just came up with a crazy idea, can you guys imagine a first-person, online, sword fighting game? Where you control the swings of the sword the exact same way you would a normal one, and fight against your buddies ? Or better yet, the same concept, but with Star Wars lightsabers? Damn, I should stop thinking about the damn controller.

That would be awesome.

Just a game based solely on sword fighting. :D

The only thing is, if someone blocked you in-game, how could the controller stop you?

That is the problem, you won't since it doesn't have force feedback or something like that. I am taking a stab at this, but I am guessing it will have rumble capabilities and if you come in contact with something (say a sword hits a sword) you will feel it rumble. It may come down to something psychological and will take sometime for your brain to be trained that when you feel a rumble you know you hit something even though you don't physically feel the controller.

Just remember Nintendo said they did not reveal all the features of the controllers and the console.

they said they still have some surprises to reveal .

maybe they came up with a way to stop the controlelr or something.

still could be a visor attachment too .

Maybe mario 128 wll be in the first person view lol . all the normal mario stuff but in first person view.

to shoot a fireball you flick the controller

to fly with the racoon suit you move the controller up and down like u would your tail .

lol mario with a sword :)

^^ I'm actually worried about Mario 128. I mean, I have no clue about what they can do to implement the new controller to the Mario gameplay, so I'm afraid they may pull something crazy that maybe won't be that great. For example, IMHO controlling Mario 64 DS with any of the configurations available in the game is really difficult, and kind of like a step back. I guess I'll just have to trust them.

But for all other games, I really excited to see what they come up with

im getting a rev. i mean, its interactive. meaning you will actually have to think and move.

i see people posting about how it might get tiring.... take a break. games arent ment to be played for hours on end.

i usually get bored of a game becuase i just feel like im doing nothing. but if your moving around and having to think about how, it might keep ya interested longer.

OH GOD...

"Touching is good, but feeling is better"

Actually force feedback could do this.

I have a Logitech USB optical mouse called the iFeel...it has basically a small motor mounted inside it, and using techology from (guess who Sony!) Immersion Corp, you could basically 'feel' your desktop. Everything had a different 'texture' when you moused over things, down menus, over buttons.

Revolution could employ this tech to allow you to 'feel' edges and objects, etc.

:)

I solved the mystery. Cookie please.

    • I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
