Can't wait for the nintendo wii to come out. It's going to blow the other consoles away in my opinion. Just can't wait to get my hands on it and it's awesome controller. Gives a whole new dimension in gaming. And a whole pile of cool games coming out on wii. Be loads of fun to play a FPS on wii.

    I have been approximating this by dismantling a joystick and swinging it through the air. It works not so well for TIE Fighter, even worse for The Specialists. Oh well. I'll just have to play with my friend's Wii once it comes out.

    Yeah, it used to be called Revolution, but then Nintendo figured out that name didn't mean much. So, they channged it to Wii (said "we")..... which means something....I'm sure it does.... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="???" border="0" alt="confused-fix.gif" />

    Anyways, stood (sat, lied down, whatever) outside Toys R Us for 8 hours to preorder one. 18 days until I pick mine up!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Meh

    Thats how i feel about wii, honestly, i keep hearing all this talk about how innovative it is, but innovation doesent always equal fun.

    Innovation can also be downright annoying and cumbersome; which is what i think the wii's interface will be with most games.


    Im sure most of the nintendo games will rock; but that wasnt enough to save the gamecube, and it wont be enough to save the wii.


    Then again, it could pull a DS. Suck for the first year, rock for the second.

    I'll probably be grabbing a Wii at some point. More because of the price than anything else.

    I think the wii should be the smallest in terms of size for all the consoles. Like you could just slip it into your pocket or something and walk off.

    Honestly, I can't wait for the Nintendo W. It's something totally different then all the other Consoles. Just the "Wii" name is something I don't like.

    With other words. They could've thought up a better name then "Wii".. The old name Revolution is much better in my opinion.

    some potential problems:
    1. lag between real time movement and on screen movement
    2. the controllers are EXPENSIVE... $90 (AUS) or more (for the convenience of those not australian thats about $50 US.
    3. the annoying name <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> lol

    Xbox 360 controllers are around 50 bucks, aren't they? I imagine PS3 controllers would be as well.
    As for the name, you can name yours anything you like. For example, I didn't want to call my [male-specific body part] a [male-specific body part], so I have named it <i>GUNGNIR, WEAPON OF THE GODS</i>.

    It is referred to by that exact monkier <i>every time</i>.

    Nintendo must be doing something right.

    DS was the first gaming machine I bought in 10 years (mostly into PC games), and Wii is tempting me.

    There are a bunch of TP previews from the journalists who were allowed to play it Wednesday to Friday, good list <a href="http://gonintendo.com/?p=7879" target="_blank">here</a>. Basic synopsis: the Wii controller is very enjoyable, they did not get tired, and the game is huge.

    November 19th cannot come soon enough.

    I thought that's how you were supposed to play the specialists. I guess thats why I never got much above 1:1.

    You can almost do that. The size is roughly that of two DVDs stacked on top of each other.

    Thanks for the correction <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    My first two games for the Wii will definitely be Zelda and Smash Bros.

    Seems like Wii means gone with the days when you can own you friend playing with one hand <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" /> Although if you can use those two things with one hand and still manage to own your friend, that would be awesome although it looks like it will be an impossible feat.

    I plan on picking up a Wii eventually, if not soon after they come out.

    Why spend $600+ on a console? With that much you could put together a half-decent PC.

    As if the name didn't sound bad enough. It just looks really stupid to me and i wouldn't pay for it. I would much rather pay for an xbox 360 or PS3 than that remote control.

    The name goes in line with nintendo. Even though revolution did sound a lot cooler but wii is just a nintendo thing you know? they like fun sounding stuff. and how can u not like the remote? probably makes FPSes on the wii a whole lot easier to play. personally, i cant stand playing FPS on an analog stick.
