QUOTE (Spectatrix @ May 10 2006, 12:29 PM) 1) I still think most of that looks clumsy and/or dumb. Watching the people did look a little retarded, but the gameplay scenes looked pretty smooth as far as control looked, especially the Mario one. When the 'i' was shooting during metroid scene, the sounds were from the Phoenix from Perfect Dark. Don't know why I pointed that out. This post has been edited by moebary: May 10 2006, 01:29 PM |

pretty neat controller ideas. it'll be interesting to see how accurate the movements are. i.e. i could see people gettin pissed because "OMG I HIT THE BALL THAT'S BULLSHIT!!" if it's not accurate enough.
i'd be interested to see the graphics up close too. looked pretty cool in the video but up close is the only way to tell. when is it comin out? |

Now, my question is, how much do all these additions to the controller cost? Because I would imagine that the playing cost would go up if you had to buy another addition to the controller everytime you had to play a new game.

answer to both the questions:
there's a video floating around with myiamoto playing some tennis game on it, and he didn't seem to have any problems. I have a feeling it'll be fairly configureable as well as sensitive. As far as additions go, right now there's speculation that, as opposed to the $60 360 games, and potentially $70 PS3 games (WTF!), nintendo's gonna try and price their games between $40-50. If the games are around there, chances are the peripherals would be $40 at most. I'm guessing the gun would probably come with the duck hunt game, and the bundle would probably be $50-60 bucks. Then there's always gonna be cheap 3rd party versions (possibly more varieties, with that port on the the bottom, there's pretty much no end to what 3rd parties could manufacture for it) -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

he is one of their characters that falls into the 'realistic' looking category. im going to assume that fox and falco are going to look more like damn furries than ever.
captain falcon and ganondorf will probably get makeovers (if they are both included) roy and marth probably have more realistic looking models. fuck. -------------------- 32-bit whore

Timbo, your links are broken. Looks like you copied & pasted from a forum, 'cause they have "..." in them. I'm assuming you meant these articles:

I wonder how much below manufacturing price that $200 price tag is. They HAVE to be selling it at a loss...

Seriously. I'm confused. Was Sony Paid off my Microsoft/Nintendo to act like a bunch of newbs running around and forget to tell their employees that being not leet like that will get their company canned? Or maybe they really feel like not making video games anymore and wanna focus more R&D on robo-puppies, which would be OK.

is there any more new info on the Wii?
like release dates? or more info on the hardware? I don't see a whole lot on the site, but kinda neat that you can play old nintendo games too (I wonder if that costs extra to download the games, and how many games you'd have access to). Also said on the site that the GPU is being developed with ATI... seems almost like that'd be a conflict of interest with ATI & Microsoft, but there's not any more detail on the site than: QUOTE Graphics Processing Unit: Being developed with ATI.

well Microsoft paid for all the R&D ATI did for the Xbox 360 graphics hardware. I couldn't imagine ATI not using at least similiar techniques in developing the Wii graphics hardware as well. So in the end you have Microsoft paying for R&D work that possibly ends up in a competitor's box.

From what i read on an article about Red Steel. There is an external sensor that is placed above or below your TV so all the movement info is transmitted to.

found this on IGN:
http://wii.ign.com/articles/711/711626p1.html QUOTE June 7, 2006 - During a Japanese marketing event held on Wednesday, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that Wii's price and release date would be revealed by September. Nintendo has previously stated that Wii would "not exceed $250" and would be released in the "fourth quarter" of this year. More information as it becomes available. I'm guessing Christmas time. Especially if they're not releasing the release date (heh) until September. |
