[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread

[Laughing-Man]

My biggest problem with further separating the consoles into sub-forums is this; people can't even manage to post in the correct ones now. Do you know how many threads are moved from Gamers to PC or Console forums every day? Imagine the chaos after giving those people 3 MORE forums to choose from (or ignore, depending on how you look at it).

Obviously every thread belongs in the general games section, especially when the poster includes the console's name or the word "PC" in the thread title. Why can't you see that?! ;)

Actually there is there one right now..

Nah, not really new, but the small parts were interesting. I'm gonna surf the old forums to see what else he said that came true.

If they've been trusting him thusfar he's doing something right. :)

That true. According to what some of the other forum members have said, almost everything he's said has happened.

In either case, any news is good news. :D

But then we can all play each other on the Nintendo WFC!

And the thread will be remembered in our hearts .. as we look back and see how wrong (or right) we were with our guesses. :laugh:

Alright gentlemen, I wish to play Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart and the Donkey Kong Series... should I wait for the Rev? Or pick myself up a second hand SNES? :)

Any screenshots coming before there are any production models ready (probably about a month or 2 before the first actual public release) can be considered rendered and not neccesarily an accurate representation. All the PS3 renders mean dick, i don't understand why anyone cares?

[firebud]

How cool would this be?

My answer: VERY.

Killer 7 Producer Starts Revolution Project

Suda 51 holds talk session with Hideo Kojima and Kazutoshi Iida.

by Anoop Gantayat

January 22, 2006 - Grasshopper Manufacturer's Gouichi Suda (aka Suda 51) has once again made reference to his support for Nintendo's Revolution console. At the "Hopper's Vol.1 25H Our Party People" event held in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward on a snowy Saturday evening, Suda confirmed that work on a Revolution project has already started at his studio. He would not reveal details beyond this.

Suda has been pretty vocal about his support for the Revolution. Back in October of last year, he became one of the first Japanese producers to confirm a project for the system, promising an extreme game that makes full use of the system's controller.

The Shibuya event was also attended by Konami's Hideo Kojima, producer of the Metal Gear series, and Kazutoshi Iida, creator of Doshin the Giant. The three developers held a talk event in which Suda revealed that Kojima's Snatcher and games developed by Sega's Yu Suzuki were what got him into gaming. Kojima recalled that people didn't understand why he was spending so much effort creating Snatcher's world, with one superior even confronting him as he headed out to the library to do research. He also mentioned that Snatcher was originally set to be called "Junker," but Konami was unable to use that name because it had already been taken by a mahjong title.

The three closed off the talk session by joking about working together on an adventure game. With Kojima himself having previously expressed strong interest in the Revolution, perhaps Nintendo fans can expect a dream collaboration for the new system.

Not sure of the credibility on this one but interesting if it's true :)

The Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and the Nintendo had yesterday announced the development of "Silent Hill 5" for the new console of the Japanese company, the Revolution. Although all to believe that the new edition of this trailer of horror would arrive with exclusiveness for PS3, seem that the team of the Konami was seduced by the innovative control of the Revolution. According to Akira Yamaoka, producer of the series: "we are excited with the great possibilities of the new control. We believe that the series Silent Hill will give a great jump and the Revolution is the solution to materialize our innovative plans ". Silent Hill 5 will be launched with exclusiveness for Nintendo Revolution. The first images will be published, according to Yamaoka, during the Eletronic Entertainment Expo (E3) that it will happen in the month of May of 2006.

Apparently this was generated from a mexican website where today was the mexican equivalent to April Fools (interesting trivia I suppose)

Konami just lost my love of Silent Hill. I have all of them, but will not in any way buy revolution for Silent Hill. Hopefully it'll come out on PC like 3 and 4 did.

3D Realms CEO on Revolution

Believes it will be a distant third to 360 and PS3; Nintendo's last console.

by Matt Casamassina

January 24, 2006 - Outspoken 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller has recently updated his official blog to wax about the upcoming next generation console wars. In his writings, the industry veteran makes his predictions about the eventual popularity of the three major consoles, including Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Revolution.

"My prediction for this new round of consoles is that the Xbox 360 and PS3 will wind up about equal in terms of sales, with Nintendo's Revolution coming in a distant third," Miller writes. "Perhaps this will be the last console from [Nintendo]."

Miller, whose studio has been underway with a Duke Nukem sequel since the Big Bang, admits that he has not yet played with the revolutionary aspect of Nintendo's new console. "I cannot comment on the Revolution's controller until I try one," he states

Yea :laugh:

They should take a look at Nintendo's cashflow I think. Or look at their bankaccount.
