Rumor: Will Nintendo punk us with the Wii?

Aug 27th 2006 11:56PM (Joystiq)

Interesting...

I'm no hardcore "fanboy", but I do like Nintendo. Because the company has over a hundred years of reliable gaming products, I feel the Wii is something to be proud of. The graphics debate is only secondary to the whole picture, which is gaming. Personally, I'd rather play a GREAT game with lesser graphics than a sucky game with stunning visuals.

I feel Nintendo has really harnessed the true meaning of what "next generation" gaming is. They already grabbed the Wireless Generation, the Touch Generation, now they have the Motion Sensor Generation - which I like to call the "Move" Generation. LOL

So, with all said and done, I feel Nintendo does have more to offer than just graphics.

Nintendo denies Space World, speculates on Mario at launch

SMG has to make launch, it's been a tradition to have a "new" Super Mario title for the unveiling of a new console. Without it, the Wii Nintendo would be naked. Besides, why show SMG at E3 if not to create buzz for the Wii launch? I think ol' Nin is just leaving us wanting more - squeezing every last drop of anticipation from our impatient little minds. It's the thrill of the hunt!

A look at 7-11's potential Wii slip up

Considering the physical size of Wii, I don't think the initial cost needs to be in the 300's. The bulky competitors obviously think "bigger = more expensive" - not the case with Nintendo. In order to see the future, one must revist the past. Nintendo is notorious for creating games that need new accessories [ie, Donkey Kong Bongos, Pokemon Microphone. Mario dance pad...]and this is where the big bucks come in. Look at the Rumble Pack, everone had to buy it separately because it made the controller vibrate. Great! The Wavebird was a first and most important innovation to GC, but we all had to have it. Now, all the vibration and wirelessness comes built-in with Wii. Maybe Nintendo will release a revamped "classic" controller in case the WiiRemote and Nunchuck get bad reviews after launch...I doubt it, but who knows??. This low price seems very, VERY appetizing to consumers, especially for the holiday season. So, for a Wii bundle with four remotes and a game, you're probably looking at $389-$400. Batteries not included. I like Nintendo, so I'll be the first in line to reserve my system!! I LOVE Mario Kart!!... Neeeeeen-tendo!, Woo-hoo!!
