Today's hottest game video: Wii Sports 91 pin strike

Today's hottest game video: Wii Sports 91 pin strike

Nov 24th 2006 2:28AM (Joystiq)
Awesome trick! I just tried it for myself (it took me 16 minutes to get it) and that is awesome. There seems to be a little red button thing above each rail and that's what triggers it. Also, it apparently only works on the 91 pins, so don't bother to try the others like I did: just use them for rail-riding practice ;)

Nintendo and M$ fans should see this as the best thing that sony could ever do....Send a space ship to rid the earth of sony fanboys forever. Oh, glorious day!

Also, I can't wait to see this on Blu-Ray! (sarcasm)

Wii demo kiosks to be under supervision?

I think it might be like this. Some employee is honored with becoming the wii-holder. Then someone wanting to demo the wii must ask him and he will hand you and a friend a wii remote and let you play for a certain amount of time, supervised. Maybe even play with you...hmmmmm.....We'll See!!!

Rumor: Will Nintendo punk us with the Wii?

Nintendo has already told us they're hiding something huge in their graphics department!!! It's even on their site!!

Why would they say this?

"Graphics: Being developed with ATI."

That's EXTREMELY vague compared to the rest of what they say on their hardware specs.

I do think there's something going on...and it may just turn out; "Hey, you American fools thought we were hiding something! zomg lolz!!!" but I sure hope not!!!

How long did it take Valve to create Half-Life 2? 5 or 6 YEARS. Wow, that's about as long as some other company spent just developing a graphics card for some certain little console....

I don't believe there will be a massive graphics overhaul being Nintendo's secret, but i do think there will be some improvement. There are all sorts of ways to make games look better without using busting-at-the-seams technology. If Nintendo has been working with ATI for 4-5 years now, i'm sure they have come up with something that gives the Wii better looking games than what they have been showing us so far. For example, Valve's Source Engine; it can run on mid-range computers and still look good, but it really shines when its on a high-end gaming computer. If you compare the Wii to a mid-range comp. running a source game, then actually that equates to pretty good graphics for a console. Then, add on top of that some filtering effects and stuff,since all this is is a gaming machine, and u should have some really nice graphics. And to explain why they havent been using this so far... Simple: they're just running the games raw, which is to say they haven't integrated all the features of ATI's chip yet for the demo's. The best example of this is again, the source engine; they're just playing half-life 2 with an old graphics chip, resulting in a graphically lacking experience as opposed to using the full-blown chip.

Something like that...
