[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread


Recommended Posts

the problem is that he doesnt want to see that nintendo is offering more than the availability of their older games for download. the online service will likely be far more fleshed out than a simple download service. go watch xbox movies until more info about the console is released, stop getting down on nintendo when you don't know what they've got in the works.

Im quite capable of seeing what Nintendo has to offer, or lack of. They are falling behind so they copy what everyone else is doing, just because ive got an xbox sig doesnt mean im a fanboy, i didnt really care for xbox 1 but i love what Microsoft is cooking up.

the console will be able to play all nintendo (most) according to engadget. Errr???

How many people actually have their old nintendo 64 games?

This thing will sink faster than the titanic.

You download games for free that aren't cube or revolutions peoples. They specifically said in the conference "Most of the games will be available for download, even new games will be available, but for a price"

Meaning that Pre-Cube is free. Now quit complaining. You can just buy this console and never buy a game ever because you'll have enough games to last you the rest of your life.

You download all these games from Nintendo online service, not that you use your old game cartridges. Did you see 10 cartridge slots in the prototype. They even said it out loud. YOU WILL UPLOAD OLD GAMES FROM THE NET.

Man people getting dumber or what?

I'm being a complete noob and just jumping into this thread without backreading, but since this didn't show up on the gamer page yet...

I assume everybody saw that? If so, huge appologies.

I repeat, I am being a noob.

Nintendo has a very loyal user base. Complete Nintendo catalogue is like dream come true for them. Stop being self centered and quit knocking Nintendo down.

Yes I agree, Nintendo definitely is copying what everyone else is doing. I forgot how innovative the Xbox360 is going to be with its wireless controllers with triggers/thumbsticks/rumble features, PowerPC processor, ATI Video card, and memory card. I have never seen a console have all those features before. Damn Nintendo's GameCube to hell for copying off Microsoft's future console, they shall rue the day!

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Nintendo knows its fighting a losing battle, the cheap shot at PSP proved how cocky they are, everythings about onling gaming thesedays xbox proved it and now Sony and Nintendo are trying to catch up with their half assed efforts.

Sony and Nintendo are trying to catch up to what? A console that lost billions, has medicore sales, and never even got its foot in the door in Japan? What its online service that has like 2 million suscribers out of 20 million consoles? Yea Sony and Nintendo are sure falling behind to a successful console.

Hi troll, if you hate nintendo so much. Why are you still here. Obviously you will change no ones mind here, neither will others change yours. So what is the point of your constant bickering.

We undertstand, you are dissapointed. No one gives a damn. Now go to XBOX 360 thread and jizz on the screenshots or something and leave this thread with dignity.

You are wrong. Both Nintendo & Sony have realised the potential of online gaming otherwise they wouldnt have emphasized its importance and being "connected".

Let's not jump to conclusions until after the service launches shall we..

Compared to Sonys PlayOnline efforts which only actually supported a very limited number of games and had no matchmaking service or any kind of central hub, and then there was Nintendo that was stuck in the dark ages refusing to buy into the online gaming market.

Xbox took it, packaged it, and sold it and it was immensly successful. Now Sony and Nintendo realise and are playing catchup riding on the success of Xbox Live.

Sega AND Nintendo realized it about 10 years ago when they had the X-band modem and service. Please don't try and make it like MS invented the online game/matchmaking console services and made it successful, it hurts.

What's wrong with admitting they where wrong?

lol wrong again.

Its not the question of "Who did it first", but rather "Who was first successful at it". Apple didnt invent HDD based MP3 players first, but theirs was the first best implementation of it. Same with Xbox's Live.

Im not saying MS invented it and im well aware of X-Band. We werent as connected to the internet back then as we are now, hats off to them both, but Microsoft brought it to the masses in a neat little package. Just like Sony brought gaming to the masses with the PSX.

They are all revealing this stuff within 24 hours of eachother. HOW THE HELL could anyone be copying anyone else.

Im on about copying the current generation of consoles, Nintendo stubbornly refused to buy into online gaming, Microsoft made it successful now Nintendo suddenly decide its time to get into the game.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
