@ post above me... What is the deal with that much Mini Mii 's? ( bottom screen )

 

[Pureauthor]

What I wanna know is if the photoshops allow you to work on screenshots from the game on your console...

 

[NSider]

Probably old but ..

Wii points. Prepaid cards.

 

[GitarooMan]

Probably old but ..

Wii points. Prepaid cards.

I wonder if they'll pull the old $5 = 4000 points but only sell points in 5000/10000 intervals ala Microsoft.

 

[chase]

A bit too many mini-game games for my liking. And I'm even interested in some of them, to go along with the 'real' games. I'll withhold final judgement until we get more than a preview video.

Price is a bit disappointing too. So is Nintendo making $70 on every console sold or something? Charging $5 for a NES game seems a bit of a ripoff, too.

Interface is incredible. Really surprised that it's from Nintendo.

Overall, not enough bad news to put me off getting it at all. Hopefully focus in the US conference will be more on the 'real' games.

First time I'm seeing the graphical user interface pics, looks lovely.

Wii Bowling!! Wii Baseball now has pitching!! Wii Boxing is punch-out!! Wii Sports is awesome!!!!!

1 point equals 1 yen

So i expect NoA to follow suit and NoE

 

[Bartman3010]

Looks like that Donkey Kong Racing Game jumped ship to Wii after all.

What about Super Paper Mario? ANy word on that one?

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

In a surprise announcement, Nintendo said that it wanted to make Wii a living room centerpiece by shipping the system with features outside of the videogame realm.

But yet not include dvd playback?

Iwata mentioned that each point = 1 yen in Japan. Dunno about the US though.

@ post above me... What is the deal with that much Mini Mii 's? ( bottom screen )

i think they are your buddies who are online?

 

[Peru]

Wii Boxing is one of the most natural implementations of the controller. Two hands, box, block, all logical movements. Yeah, it looks like hella fun two-player.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Iwata mentioned that each point = 1 yen in Japan. Dunno about the US though.

Well, assuming they have "point cards" that you can buy, it's likely retailers would occasionally be discounting or bundling them, so I think that could work to everyone's advantage.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Wii boxing looks fun. :lol

Samurai Warriors does not...

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

Wii Boxing is one of the most natural implementations of the controller. Two hands, box, block, all logical movements. Yeah, it looks like hella fun two-player.

Can you actually move your fighter though? Or is it gimped like wii tennis?

 

[DefectiveReject]

But yet not include dvd playback?

Supposedly it still is, and the USA conference will unveil this
out of the box too..... Supposedly

 

[Sunski]

Photoshops?

 

[Kawaii]

^Makes sense

Samurai Warrios makes me sad, so does no word about the dvd-player-thingy.

 

[MMaRsu]

Photoshops?

Yes it's all within the Wii.

 

[Magicpaint]

Samurai Warriors does not...

No, it doesn't, looks repetitive as hell.

I have no idea, the translation you get through Excite for that picture doesn't really give you much of an idea.

Sorry if this has been asked a hundred times already, but do those avatars represent the people on your friends list whose Wiis are online?

 

[DefectiveReject]

Photoshops?

Jarosh'll be happy! Make photoshops and email em out to his buddy list, or post them on a message board directly!!
Penis pics FTW!!

 

[NSider]

What about Super Paper Mario? ANy word on that one?

Also moved to Wii. Coming 2007.

 

[Zalasta]

Is it a fact or are people just assuming that all the functionalities we've been shown so far will be ready to be used right out of the box, without having to pay anything extra?

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

What a fantastic GUI. Can't wait for English details later today.

 

[DefectiveReject]

Looks good enough for me!!

WE NEED TO MAKE A NEW TOPIC FOR US CONFERENCE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

Fact. Except for Virtual Console games of course.

 

[Magicpaint]

Wii bowling should be fun, I am put off by Wii Tennis simply because movement is auto.

Of 43 games in the video, only 7 are officially party games. At least 29 could be classed as fully fledged games.

Sorry if this has been asked a hundred times already, but do those avatars represent the people on your friends list whose Wiis are online?

That's a very good question. I would guess so, else they are all of the player's different characters stored in the flash RAM. The thing about it is, the player can click on any one of them and edit the features, so it might not be other people's avatars but the player's instead. Why anyone would need all those avaters is beyond me.

And that could just be a tech demo showing the variety and how you can edit avatars.

 

[broadwayrock]

Probably already mentioned but on that Nintendo site they state that MSX games will join the line up of the virtual console as well.

Seeing that Metal Gear and Castlevania started out on MSX, how many good original MSX games were not ported to the NES?

http://translate.google.com/transla...p/wii/topics/wii_preview/presentation/05.html

Wikipedia states that Microsoft were involved in it, so would there be any likelihood of it's games being released on XBLA?

 

[Saoh]

looks like Wii Sports has improved A LOT

Miiiii

 

[Souldriver]

I would wanna know too.

 

[djtiesto]

Pretty pumped when I saw that MSX is gonna be on the VC... since this system was never released in the US, I hope we get that functionality here...

 

[Ford Prefect]

It's common sense.

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

IF the cord between the remote and nuchuck was just a bit longer it would be very easy to have full control over your player.

You better be able to move your damn boxer with the dpad, otherwise gimped total.

 

[drohne]

anyone else notice the r-type logo in the top right of that menu pic?

it'll probably be the pce version, though.

USA Today's article is up on Wii here-

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/2006-09-14-wii-nintendo_x.htm

Basically the same info as the NYT article from last night. But here they show the US box for Wii- and it only seems to come with Wii Sports as an extra. I think that's a mistake not to include the extra controller as well. Personally, I'd rather it have come with two controllers and no game for 250.

 

[Vargavinter]

How long untill the US thingy starts?

 

[MMaRsu]

How long untill the US thingy starts?

about +- 45 minutes.

Where is Wii Aerobics???

i see, thanks. hopefully reggie will reveal the mystery

I like the fact that the MSX project was led by Microsoft, Sony manufactured MSX computers, and now Nintendo is emulating the MSX. The MSX unites all fanboys just like that Abraham guy unites jews/muslims/christians
