Nintendo "Revolution" now called "Wii" [update 6]

Apr 27th 2006 1:47PM (Joystiq)
Oh, I'm so insecure about appearing childish, I don't even go to toilet anymore! That would really make me look bad! In fact, I'm so insecure about appearing childish, I don't play "games," I only play "simulations!"

Lucky they didn't call it the Nintendo Poo, or Nintendo Piss!

I don't really care, although I would buy a couple if they'd have called it the Nintendo Pimpin' Bitch-Sl*t.

Nintendo have said thay were going in a different direction, all along... wait a sec - the Wii is aimed in a different direction to the other consoles! Anyway, what's more childish than the name, is the people who are so insecure that they are afraid to buy it because of what it's called.

The people who don't get used to the name (even if it is strange at first) are people who don't really care about games at all, in my opinion.

It's far more controversial and unique than "Revolution" as a name, which is the whole point. People who think of computer games as a way to get respect are quite foolish - it's about having fun.

Oops! Brain training doesn't help aging brains

I agree with #18 - it's not a cure. The key is, while you keep practicing, your brain will stay better than it would have been - it doesn't stop your brain deteriorating at some point, which is inevitable. But Brain Training can only be good for your brain.

Also, I think #29 is a good point. Then again, though, this field of research is their job, so it's not just that they chose this category because it's popular right now...

Microsoft after Sony's family friendly image

I think what they mean is:

Viva Pinata will be the biggest title until the next biggest title is revealed. They want Sony's popularity and Nintendo's respect.

Anyway, it's not going to work for a long time - mainly because "casual gamers" don't give a shit about graphics, and aren't going to pay £300 for something with better grahpics, when they can pay £100 for something with all that Singstar, Dance and Eyetoy stuff.

Gamers, meet patch cycle. Patch cycle, gamers!

Yeah, patches are good, if you have a bug to fix. But the problem shouldn't exist - they shouldn't release something if it doesn't work properly.

Revolution can handle Unreal Engine 3

#33 - I totally agree. You can see with something like Resident Evil 4 - it looks amazing on the Gamecube already, even on PS2 you can't complain about it - it still looks great. All the new consoles are going to look BETTER than that. There's no need to complain.

However, if you don't think there's enough of an improvement, you don't actually have to buy one, belive it or not.
