Wii-Mote Mania (Nintendo Wii informational Thread)

the madden game itself looks really good. but the guy giving the presentation is just oh so boring .

and those zelda pics made me squeal! literally!

Yeah, those Zelda pics are looking pretty smooth, but.....Is that a earring Link is wearing? Is this game set in the early 90's?

It's going to be a fantastic game though.......not sure about Madden mind, after seeing the demonstration I'm having doubts. It looks a bit fidgety and I can't see it being a lot of fun after a seasons worth of playing, like the others. But I'll hold my judgement.

SSBB is the one I'll be buying the Wii for, but I can't say that any of the Launch games look particularly exciting. Hopefully once the dust has settled and everyones used to the dev kits we'll start seeing some really good games, and hopefully an excellent Mario Party 8.

Yeah, the interaction between game and "Wiimote" looks pretty seamless, so it should be great. It's just Madden, I don't think I fancy using the Wiimote for it, same goes for 'Soccer', it wouldn't feel right to me. As for other sports games though, I can't wait for the likes of Tennis, Golf, and (hopefully) Snooker, they would feel right.

FPS shooters are going to be incredible if they get it right, and I'm hoping for a lot of "Point Blank" style shooters, which would be ideal.

With the different controller, I thought the Wii would be great from first person shooters, and probably fighting games...But Thought it would be bad for driving games...That doesn't seem to be the case with this attachment. I like how there making simple and cheap things the Wii can just snap onto...there definitely thinking about the consumers wallet with nice designs like that.

Hell yes I do! The nintendo Wii is going to be immense by the sound of things!

what i love most about the wii is all the sony fanboys are in denial.

i ask them what is more important, fun factor or graphics.

they all tell me graphics.

wii for world peace!

p.s. when the wii is released, will you all please download herzog zwei and star control for the sega genesis. i need someone to own.

according to IGN:
wii.ign.com...

but they got their info from NYT. Nintendo is supposed to be making the official announement for north america today.

The price of the wii as been released today $250 in America avalible on 19 November and $213 Japan avalible 3 December, got to wait till tomorrow to hear when the European release will be, got may fingers crossed it will still be in November!!!!

the one thing i like about this is that nintendo is doing something that console makers haven't done in a long time: they're actually packaging a game along with the system. although, i 'd still like the choice of picking which game i'd like to have instead of paying extra for something i probably won't want. i don't like sports games.

I think 250 is abit high. Considering it has the computing power of an Xbox 1.

They should of put it at $200.

Now people might look at the Nintendo...and see that the 360 (core) is only $50 more.

There were Wii rumors of a launch price around 150...that would of been sweet, 200 would of been good...250 is a little to steep.

watch this if you think 250 is steep.

EVERYONE wasnt running to play the ps3 which had way more computing power then the xbox 360. they were running to play the wii.

also EVERYONE wasnt standing in line to play the ps3 which had more computing power then the xbox 360.

ill say it again, and you cant argue this. FUN FACTOR > GRAPHICS

the wii will outsell the xbox 360 in by march. xbox360 has only sold 2.5 million.

wii will sell 4 million by march.

ill say it once again just in case anyone didnt hear me the third time,
FUN FACTOR> GRAPHICS
250>400>600 yeah that doesnt seem to make sense , but anyone here is smart enough to understand .

may peace be wiith you

So as a Nintedofanboy you don't think the PS3 will have fun games? In reality ( I know I know) What if PS3 has graphics AND fun games. What then?

BTW like you have said the Wii is a great system to play with a bunch of friends right? And I am sure it will be, but it you want to play with your friends, lets say three of them you will have to couch up an extra $180 for the controllers. So there goes that price rgument right.
