[Mr. Spinnington]

Can anyone answer this question?

Companies have to do paperwork blah blah blah blah red tape before pre-orders happen.

I called Gamestop this morning and it's still not a green light until the 2nd week of October, earliest. If anyone finds an earlier pre-order then let us know. But who am I kidding, we'll have 8 threads on it when someone does start taking them...

:lol

Wii Finger pose!

Wii si-eedah.

 

[SumGamer]

Yeah…except that we have SEEN WITH OUR OWN EYES a home movie being played on Wii.

I think he is talking about editting part. Unless, you have seen he editted the video. Now Matt tell me please, did you or did you not. This is a very serious business here

What is this???

 

[Particle Physicist]

I can answer both of them with yes. Unless Harrison lied to me.

okay.. i didnt know .. thats why i was asking.. how much loss will sony take on the ps3?

 

[GitarooMan]

no. reggie said it comes with all the necessary cables, but it's debatable if component is necessary. probably not, but no confirmation yet.

there's still a chance.

I'd be shocked if there was a component cable included, hopefully they sell them for 20-25 dollars or so and not 40. *crosses fingers*

Nintendo really dropped the ball here imho. They had so much potential for a great launch and messed everthing up.

- Incomplete Dev Kits for 3rd parties
- Launch Price is too high, at $250, graphics should have been a bit better
- Metroid in 2007
- Online in 2007
- Launching AFTER PS3 instead of having some Wiis on the shelves for people who can't snag a PS3 at launch.
- Opera not included for free
- High controller cost, $60 wtf?
- No Widescreen/ 480p mandate

What will they do if the 360 core drops to $250?

What pisses me off the most is that, ok fine, it's expensive -- At least I can pick up Zelda on the gamecube and enjoy that till the price drops but even that got delayed. They haven't made a single massive game on the Gamecube in ages, what have all their ressources been up to? This two steps front, one step back approach has to end.

Remove Wii Sports and sell it at $200 and you've got a sale. I'm not getting this at launch anymore there's no point.

:O

Everyone, go to IGN for more screens,

UPGRADE AM COMFIRMNED

very nice texture filtering. not good anti aliasing. still looks utterly great though and [CTRL+V]it was great fun when i played it at E3.[/CTRL+V].

 

[Ford Prefect]

Errr.. no movie/video editing. You can make slideshows and such using still photos.
From the official Wii description Nintendo just sent over:

There is clearly video in the video everybody keeps linking to on the Japanese site.

I repeat:

THERE IS VIDEO FUNCTIONALITY.

THIS CANNOT BE ARGUES WITH.

 

[Jonnyram]

I don't know about the US, but in Japan, the web browser can be downloaded for free until the end of June 2007. It's offered for free because they want to speed up the growth of the Internet side of the Wii's tech. After that it'll be pay-for using Wii points like the VC downloads.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Man, Mario Galaxy looks like its gonna be the best gave eva!

 

[Goreomedy]

I sooooooooooo want some Mario.

 

[Matt]

I need to know more about this. Is there video somewhere of this feature being put to use?

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/topics/wii_preview/presentation/07.html
Last movie on that page. It's at the end.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Actually that's not all I got from your post. What I'm commenting on is your statement as to why your perspective is different.

I still don't see how it has any bearing. I'm willing to pay if it's worth it. I thought the recent Taito Memories were excellent, the Capcom Classics Collection was well done and the Genesis collection in the future looks very promising.

I've also purchased some of the later Sega Ages releases. The Gunstar Heroes one only had three games(that, Dynamite Headdy, and Alien Soldier) but they were solid ports with some great additions and tons of bonuses(like superplays, artwork, etc). The Panzer Dragoon 1 release was excellent(even if IMO the source material wasn't that great) same with the Dynamite Deka remake.

So far what I'm seeing here are roms that I have to pay for just to have a little peace of mind. I just don't find it entirely interesting. Mostly because I've played the games before and have probably once upon a time owned the games too. Now I'm not asking for a box and a disc, a manual, and an artbook. I'd rather see companies show a little uh..caring, show a little more respect for the material that brought you where you are today and I'd gladly do the same.

Either way it looks like I'm just wasting my time and blowing smoke everywhere. Maybe I'm just miffed that Nintendo can't be bothered to make a half-decent compilation and instead I have to settle for downloading a bunch of games onto the Wii for $5-10-??.

Oh well

 

[Shogmaster]

Can someone photoshop her more cute?

Couldn't find a bigger pic of Miyamoto.

 

[GitarooMan]

I think Excite Truck looks better graphically then Mario Galaxy in these screens, am I crazy?

 

[Sunski]

Bye Bye Mario! Nowhere to go and Life on 1 :lol

 

[jarosh]

AWESOME

 

[fresquito]

Yes but its the kind of rape that most fans would gladly bend over for. I mean if you never cared about NES games, yeah I can see why you would avoid, just like how I avoid $5 cellphone games cause I don't give a shit about them. But for us nostalgia-waxers, it sounds like a good idea.

Even at $5 a pop I am still going to try put together a complete VC library (of games by Nintendo that is, don't care about 3rd party stuff unless its like Enix or something). I am crazy/stupid, I admit.

I do care for NES games, if not I wouldn't be complaining about the price, you know :lol

 

[radioheadrule83]

Errr.. no movie/video editing. You can make slideshows and such using still photos.
From the official Wii description Nintendo just sent over:

It can definately play videos as part of the slide shows. It probably doesn't edit them to any significant degree.

 

[SolidSnakex]

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

This is the irrational thinking of many, many GAF'ers

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Azure Dream]

IS THIS THE ONLY MAN YOU FIGHT IN THE GAME? He's ALL I ever see screenshots of when it comes to Red Steel. I've seen VIDEO, sure, but everytime there's a shot of Red Steel, it's time to show off shirtless tattooed swordfighting man!

 

[ant1532]

The Wii console will revolutionize how people play games. But more importantly, it will entice new players into the world of video games by offering a variety of entertainment, information and communication channels that add value to the console and make it a device that the entire family can enjoy. The Wii™ Channel Menu will be the first screen shown on the television, as it easily integrates itself as part of people's everyday lives.

 

[Matt]

I think he is talking about editting part. Unless, you have seen he editted the video. Now Matt tell me please, did you or did you not. This is a very serious business here

Yes, I have. The user clearly changes the video from sepia to non-sepia on the fly.

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

Im really baffled as to where the supposed light source is coming from for the coins shadows to be like that.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Sweet

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

AWESOME

Mon dieu. This looks really a BIG step over Super Mario Sunshine. perhaps Metroid Prime III has been delayed to imrpve graphics too.

This is really a Upgrade from E3's version.

 

[Juice]

hah! When Iwata is explaining the Wii Sports stuff, he actually said "Wiimocon"! It begins!

 

[Drensch]

TanOOkiSeong-You totally beat me to posting that comic, so apropos.

And what are the 2 secret Wii channels?

 

[Sunski]

Yes, I have. The user clearly changes the video from sepia to non-sepia on the fly.

It is true.

 

[Conrad Link]

Wonder how much the component cable will cost and if it will be available in shops this time..... hope so cause I need it day 1 damnit!

Any word on this?

Oh well

Ah, understandable. But I suppose I have my own skewed perspective too, since out of all VC systems being offered, I've only ever had a Genesis, so this system is something of a dream come true for me. Sure, the price rankles a bit, but not as much as someone with your experiences.

 

[plagiarize]

I think Excite Truck looks better graphically then Mario Galaxy in these screens, am I crazy?

yes. excite truck looks nice. but yes. you are very crazy.

 

[GhaleonEB]

AWESOME

Ah, the power of low expectations.

 

[Ganondorf>Link]

[bachikarn]

Output: an AV Multi-output port for component, composite or S-video

Finally !!!

I saw that too. Does that mean the cable has all three or just that it supports all three?

 

[Vic]

Excite Truck seems to be the temporary WaveRace remplacement
