[Official]Wii

reallyjoel

I see sticky's for PS3 and Xbox360, but not alot of love for Nintendo or specifically the Wii.

I'm definately getting a Wii, and I don't actually know anyone whose choice isn't the Wii.
We've also had a 360 at our schools (game design at uni) "games room" since launch, but the most anyone ever played on that is a bit of Hexic, or whatever it's called. I think even the old Xbox has seen more action.

And as for hitting weakspots to deal massive damage? Well.. it's a bit been there, done that, dont'cha think?

10 reasons why the PS3 beats all you nintendo fanboys:

1 Nvidia RSX GPU.
2 Cell CPU with 8 dual-cores
3 Bluetooth
4 Blu-Ray (54 GB storage space)
5 Hard drive
6 wireless controllers with motion sensibilty, ergonomically shaped
7 Memory slots for various types of media
8 Support for 7 controllers
9 Plays all sorts of media (mp3, wav, avi, mpg etc.)
10 It looks tons cooler

I know you people like nintendo, and don't get me wrong, so did I, until the N64 came out, still using cartridges. Zelda was GREAT, Goldeneye was GREAT, perfect dark was GREAT, and hell, even diddy kong racing was fun, but nintendo seems to always aim for children and new playing styles, whereas sony (and microsuck) aim for the mainstream masses of multimedia, and therefore get way better performing consoles.

Anyway, that's my opinion, and your opinions are yours. Nothing I can do about it.

PS3 just has nice graphics, nothing new actually, just the same old thing.
Wii instead, I mean, look at that thing. Great design, really innovating. They actually came up with something comepletely new, which deserves a lot of credit in my opinion.
You play Nintendo for the gameplay mainly, and not the graphics. Even though they don't look bad at all.

If you want a fast, nice looking console, pick PS3.
If you want nice looking, innovating and lots of gameplay, pick Wii.

I'll definately get a Wii as soon as it comes out, not doubt.

servant2work4god

It seems that at time goes on, Microsoft and Sony both seem to be trying to label suped up computers as video game systems sporting their own custom Operating System and controller ports... Games like theirs can be played for similar money on a computer and still have all the functionality of a Computer and not just what someone decided to slap on a console... fun is not about stats... it's about being entertained. As far as I'm concerned the wii shows far more promise of being entertaining then the 360 or ps3...

Also I have played the 360, and it's pretty, but one of the better games, Dead or Alive, is nothing more then an arcade fighter with online support... doesn't matter how 3d, pretty, or more accurate the game and fighting is... it's still a 1 on 1 fighter where newbies button mash and experienced players use memorized button combinations... boring....

sorry for the rant, just can't wait to actually do something new for a change...

the wii will be the best nintendo system yet. the fact that you can buy every classic nintendo game is awsome. fist thing i do is buy all the zelda games for it. nintendo has always been my favorite video game company. without them we wouldnt know mario or luigi. how could you live without are two favorite plumbers?

Shooters will be alot of fun on the Wii, especially when they design a controller shaped like a Thompson or something (although I really doubt Nintendo would do something like that). However, I had bad expiriences(?) with Nintendo, so I won't get one.

benwhite

I'd personally like both. If I had a good TV, I'd love to use a ps3 to play blu-rays. Not really a factor.

I'll be a wii because I missed out on the gc and I'm looking forward to playing some of the titles like Metroid, Zelda, Mario, and SSB. Nintendo always has great titles for their flagship series, and I missed a bunch--I'm really looking forward to it. Besides, I'm definitely not going to put up the cash for the ps3 until the price goes down. Way too much money. Wii has a decent pricetag.

eLto

The Wii is "simply an upgrade" of the GC aswell, except it has the "wiimote". So that's what you call it now. infact, compared to a PS3, the wii isn't even a good upgrade. the hardware specs aren't even close to even the 360!

Firebolt

A few things i have herd from a couple of computer engineers suggests that the the PS3's extreme power is not for all the gaming power but to power to the blu ray technology.

Now I'm not a huge expert in this subject so I'm pretty much just the messenger but i look at the the graphics comparison between the xbox360 and PS3 and i dont feel that PS3 blows Xbox360 out of the water. Confused

The console is new to me, not too popular on our country.

Funny you should say that, and you do seem to prove a point, exept, I've seen a DVD rom actually functioning on a pentium 1. The only problem with that was that the pentium 1 was too old to run Win98, which had all the necessary drivers.

I also know debating is pointless, since I'm a sony fanboy, but I'm not as partial as you might think. I've played my share of nintendo games. Mario? all of them, except spin-offs like paper mario and mario tennis. Zelda? I actually bought a gamecube 3 years ago just so I could play Windwaker and Ocarina of time again. I sold it when I was done with them, but I'm just proving that I'm also open for nintendo. What I want to prove to you guys(which some of you are a bit too persistent to realize) is that the possibilites on the ps3 is better than eny of the other two next gen consoles. The Wii will never measure up to the ps3 graphic-wise, and the 360 will never be as fun as the wii, since it has no hardware extras like the ps3 and wii.

I'm not THAT partial to sony, but the 360 is definetily the worst of the three next-gen consoles, but wii is the lesser in power. That's all I'm trying to tell you, and all I'm trying to prove.

Can you admit I'm right now? Smile

reddishblue

Well i have noticed that everyone seems to ignore the Wii, like in a gaming mag they reviewed the 360 the PS3 but not the Wii, guess games that have gameplay instead of great graphics are rare and unpopular now...

Yantaal

i noticed you used ps3 motion sensor and ergonomic design controller.

1, its a rip of the Wii
2, the wii is based on a freakin TV remote, whats more ergonomic thant that?

evanc88

Virtual Console is what sells the Wii to me. Of course I would've bought one because of the price, the plethora of awesome multiplayer games, and the newness of it just because I have to have everything new, but add all of that to SNES, NES, Genesis, etc games? Psh. I'm there.

Wii
I have some information.

WII Console will be sold in UK at £180.

"So committed is it to not entering to a specs battle with Sony and Microsoft that Nintendo will simply not reveal the exact nature of the technology sitting beneath Wii's refined off-white exterior, stating only that CPU, codenamed 'Broadway', is a PowerPC-based unit 'Joint-Engineered' with IBM, and that the GPU is an Ati-Designed solution.

It is keen, however, to play up the platform's 512MB of internal flash memory, used for Virtual Console downloads, etc. Additional memory can be added by simply using SD cards, although Nintendo has yet to confirm whether Wii will be compatible with the SD-HC (High Capacity) format, which currently tops out at 8GB. Regardless, 2GB SD cards at around £40 each will surely prove popular options.

Externally, the Wii hardware features a standard Ninteno-style AV-out port, running to component (supporting up to 480p), composite or S-video; two standard USB 2.0 ports; an SD flash memory card slot; two GameCube memory card slots; and four GameCube controller ports (also compatible with WaveBird controllers). The facisa, meanwhile, features three buttons (Power, Reset, Eject) and a flap, which covers the SD card, memory card and joypad ports (the USB 2.0 ports are situaed at the console's rear).

In terms of connectivity, the Wii console will communicate via Wi-Fi to DS units (for downloading game demos and other content, and possibly for messaging in the future), and can be routed to internet via a USB 2.0 LAN adapter if a Wi-Fi network is unavailable.

Standing just 157mm wide, 215.4mm tall and 44mm thick, Wii is small enough to fit into even the most cluttered AV setups, although it gains stature when placed in its stand, which comes packed into every box. The slightly ghostly blue which emanates from its disc slot, meanwhile, ensures it a vibe unlike any other game console's.

Remote
(One packed in; Additional Unit: £30)

The primary method of Wii input links to the console via a Bluetooth connection with the sensor bar, and can be used at a range of up to ten metres (effective for five metres with applications that use pointing inputs), with up to four in use simulaneously. User preferences, including Wii Mii avatars, can be saved to 6KB of onboard memory. Power is supplied via two AA batteries, and although Nintendo estimates 60 hours' use in simple accelerometer-based games, this will drop significantly with more intensive applications and when used in conjunction with the Nunchuk add-on. The unit's underside features a trigger-style 'B' button and also a 'sync' button, serving to tie multiple controller inputs to their respective players. The Remot also features built-in rumble and a small onboard speaker.

Nunchuk
(One packed in; Additional Unit: £15)

Connecting to the Remote via a short cable (it cannot be used solely on its own), the Nunchuk also features accelerometer technology or motion-based input. Of more obvious use is its analogue joystick, whose design is modelled on Nintendo's GameCube controller template. The Nunchuk's underside features two buttons, 'C' and 'Z', the latter fashioned in a more obvious trigger shape than the Remote's 'B' button.

Because it does not require batteries, the Nunchuk feels unusually light in operation, although the inclusion of a rumble facility ensures that it has a tactile quality.

Classic Controller
(£15)

Available seperately at launch, the Classic Controller is essentially a hybrid of Nintendo's SNES and GameCube joypads - Whichit has to be, since it is intended as a catch-all device for Virtual Console NES, SNES, N64, Mega Drive and Turbo Grafx games (and, concievably, independently produced releases). Smaller than you'd expect (at 65.7mm x 135.7mm x 26mm), along with 'X', 'Y', 'A' and 'B' face buttons it features 'L' and 'R' shoulder buttons, plus 'Z1' and 'Z2'. Between these, a further button opens slots on the joypad's rear, although the purpose of these apertures remains unclear at the time of writing. Like the Nunchuk, the Classic Controller must be connected to a Remote via a cable.

Sensor Bar

Placed on or around your television (either above or below the screen - it can be placed in its own cradle), the sensor bar handles Remote input via a reciever at each end. Approximately 200mm wide, it is unobtrusive, and styled to look as innocuous as possible. At the heart of the Wii experience, its reliability in tests is proven, although it is reported to be sensitive to strong halogen lights situated either directly above or below, which can interfere with its performance.

you people keep answering my questions with more questions. I admit that the wii probably will be funny, if you like it. All I want, is for one of you damned nintendo fanboys to ADMIT that the nintendo will be the lesser console, as opposed to what GameCube was/is. The gamecube is infact better than the ps2, graphics wise.

so all I want is a yes from one of you guys.

well, ill wait to see if its something for me if the local stores here gets it as a demo, i really like the idea of the new control, sounds really really cool, but i can imagine a long row of people standing infront of the test monitor with it connected, flapping their hands round like idiots Very Happy

Everyone else is always playing catchup when it comes to controller design. Supeer Nintedo came out with 6 buttons, Genesis followed suit. N64 came out with the analog stick. Playstation copies it. And Now the WII controller is being copied again now by ps3. Innovative designs, which I stick with my nintendo systems.

Machan

my opinion on this whole PS3 vs XBOX 360 vs Wii is that the PS3 is pretty much worthless, xbox will come out top, and the wii will do decently. The PS3 costs too much because it includes unnecessary stuff and it isn't upgradable. The xbox is for the people who love FPS and action games, while the wii is action, rpg, and adventure. The ps3 doesn't seem to have like any good games for it, or they are already on a different console.

BlockUp

I have preorded my Wii, and I am looking forward to getting it in a month's time. What i just can't understand is why people get so frustrated arguing about which console is best. Surely it doesn't matter, because they are all great? I think each console has it's own strong point; Xbox360 > Graphics and range of games, PS3 > Blu Ray and excellent graphics, Wii > Interactivity, fun, the ability to get involved with the game.

I also think that Nintendo are doing their best to stand out from the crowd as the gaming company that is most interested in the experience that gamers get when playing on their consoles. The Nintendo DS had the Touch Generations games, which were targetted at people who had never ever played on consoles. The DS itself was meant to bring more interactivity (however limited it may have been) to gaming. All in all, Nintendo are looking at how gamers can get really involved, and I truly think they have broken a barrier with the Wii. I can't wait to get mine!

INeedHelp

I can't wait for the Wii! That and the DS will combine to make a great generation of gaming. I have already purchased a 360 for my powerhouse, so now I will sit back and enjoy the games both companies throw at me. I am jumping off the Sony bandwagon, at least for a little while. What Sony just did disgusts me. If you haven't read, go to www.lik-sang.com. I don't know if any of you ever purchased something from this site, but they were great. It was a sad thing to see them go.

I'm definently looking towards the Wii.
It's cheap and innovative and is backed by tons of 3rd party support(what the GC lacked) and has online support(GC also lacked).

Personally the PS3 is "OK". I don't care about Bluray or about the most impressive graphics. I care more about the style of the graphics. For example take WoW and compare it to EQ2. EQ2 dominates it in polygon rates but WoW just has this neat atmosphere and style that draws you in.

Graphics don't mean anything. All that matters is the quality of the games. The Wii allows for a new quality of games. That doesn't always mean better, but there are many games that damn will be better. I can't wait for a neat star wars game for the Wii.

shwetanshu

i will buy a Wii coz i just cant afford PS3

enygmasoft

Nintendo is always first in realizing what the gaming market needs. for one thing, when was the last time a game was innovative, not for graphics, but for gameplay. I can say I had more fun playing galaxian, than I did playing halo. There is major push for developers to create purely icing on the cake experieces. Video games are the new hollywood. Very few games now are inovative gameplay wise. The core no longer matters, for big developers. I'm not about to pretend that the N64 would not have been better served by ad CD-ROM, but the takes massive leaps for Nintendo, because they finally realized us old timers need to be able to keep our collection of game cube games. As terms of hardware specs, it is on the lower rung of the graphics gene pool, but it has enough features to make it a good competitor, regardless.

Cole

Definently will be getting a Wii, my first console since my N64 and Ps1. It's just something new and out there. Thats what I like about it! It isn't the same old thing that makes games slightly better. It's fresh, new, and innovative.

The Wii is definitely the most revolutionary of the latest consoles in terms of user interactiveness. I think it will be a huge hit, and the beginning of a better gaming experience!

Good lord, I can't wait for the Wii. It should be pretty awesome. I think I am gong to get Zelda TP and Metal Slug Anthology to start me off.

This holiday season has ALREADY been hard on my wallet, and it is only going to get worse with the Wii launch! Anyone feeling the same?

About Ads, Where I live, Australia, Sony hasnt even started to advertise, but Nintendo has.

The ads are pretty funny, and really get you to know about the Wii.

evanc88

It's very unfortunate. I'm going to Spain and Italy in June and because of that I don't think I'm going to be able to pick up a Wii. I was looking forward to playing Metal Slug Anthology, Rayman, Wii Sports and World Series of Poker. The thing I'm still most excited about, however, are the Virtual Console games. I can hardly wait to see what "new" games get released every month. It'll be exciting and nostalgiac, for sure.

Just saw a Wii demo unit at EB Games. It was cool. BTW, the guy at the counter said that preorders of the Wii are WAAAY higher than pre-orders for PS3 or sales for Xbox360. Nintendo for the win!

For anyone that was able to get a Wii, congrats.
As many other people I'm waiting for later shipments because I'm not that big of a fan to stand in lines.

Anyways, I was wondering, The Wii says that it can connect with Wireless and with a adapter.

My two questions are,
1. when they say wireless does that include 802.1x?
2. If not for 1, then does the adapter come with the base system?
2b. If it doesn't come with the base system, then how much does it cost?

Over all, I think I'm going to get the Wii at some point and make the networking work one way or another but it would be nice to know the answers ahead of time.

-Saber

william

@Saber

1. Yes, the Wii supports 802.11b/g.
2. The adapter is a USB to Ethernet adaptor. It allows wired internet access. Wireless access (802.11) is built right into the console. I'm not sure how much the adapter costs, but there really is no point to buy it when you have Wi-Fi built in.

Saber

@william

Thanks for the information, When reading about it, it didn't make it clear if it did 802.11, so thanks for clearing that up.

Now I just have to figure out how to spend money that I dont have yet to get one..

roninmedia

I got my Wii and its great.

I believe one day, Nintendo can evolve the controller to the point that is as fluid and easy as moving a mouse so pc/console games are essentially interchangable in gameplay.

NeoValkyrion

Got to play with a Wii this weekend, and I have to say I was quite impressed. Despite the lack of the hardware the 360 and PS3 have, the controller design and overall software of the console is enough for this one to be the first of the nex-gen consoles I'm going to buy.

QrafTee

I just played the Wii today with my friends. 5 of us, 2 controllers, but Wii Sports was the only multiplayer game he had (the owner). I had fun and I can say confidently, I'm going to get a Wii and an extra controller. But my friends will have to get their own if they want to play. It's expensive. Haha. Making Miis are fun by the way.

So the Internet connection, you cant just plug it in?

@QrafTee
If I read right its not that you can plug in the adapter to an either net cable(cat 5) but that its a usb drive that plugs in usb to a windows computer that has a connection. The direct either net to the wii's usb wont be out untill early 2007.

@william
Thanks for the answer before, but I was wondering if you could explain how to connect using 802.1x. There are some other guys in the dorm and are unable to get it working.

what you qouted is how such console is awesome.....on the great graphics and the multimedia compatibility only...
Being a gamer I am looking for a good game to play...
A game that values as good is not only how realistics to the graphics are...but also the creativity and the fun we can draw from..

it's quite true that PS3 have impressive displaying and its outlook..but that's all....I have see many passages on the web criticing on its loading time and the problem of overheating...I guess no one would accept an unstable and loading machine to play for.

Moreover, PS3 was definitely a high end product which requires a HDTV and professional sound system to make it works effectively.....I am just query, how many household could afford such professional AV environment at home?...

william

Saber

Well I will look through that again, but it might be that the connection here is setup in a way that wont allow it. To be fair, I dont think that supplying wii access to college students is top on their list.

if I cant get that working then I guess I will either have to wait two-ish months for the eithernet to usb direct wii plug or just stoop and get the windows usb wifi adapter for the wii.

Over all Im still some what baffled that nintendo would decide not to include a plug for either net, it cant possible be much more space..

And in the process of figuring this out, Im now wondering if I can reason with my self that spending about $300 is worth playing zelda. It would be nice if the wii was able to play dvds but nope, hopefully that rumor about them thinking about making a new model is true and that I will be able to put off getting one untill that happens.(Or just be depressed when I just suck up and admit that Im waiting for nothing)

oh well, stuff like this happens, maybe I can "steal"(other wise known as borrow) it from the guys down the hall when they go away for weekends, but thats not really worth the time.

Sorry for the rant, Anyways, that manual that you paged through doesn't happen to be online would it?

Why thank you for linking that,
Ill take a look at it tonight.

-saber

Ghengis

To the guy who asked if it's worth $300 just to play Zelda, in a word: yes. I got my Wii on launch day and have been playing Zelda ever since. A few points:

No, you don't have to move your whole arm, and as a result, no, your arms do not get tired. In fact, I move my wiimote hand more often to aim e.g. my bow than I do to swing my sword -- you can do a spin attack by shaking the nunchuk, and that's a better attack, so I use it most of the time.

Wireless setup is simple, and if you know anything about 802.11 security it's a snap to use. It supports all the major encryption protocols (WEP, WPA, and WPA2) and lets you input passwords, etc. using the on-screen keyboard, which is amazingly not that painful to use. The more you play with it, the easier it is to use the wiimote as a mouse.

The graphics look pretty damn good -- it's not the PS3, but it's about a third as expensive (plus Nintendo makes a tidy profit while Sony takes a huge loss), so you have to adjust your expectations. Also, if you don't have a high-def TV, you're likely to get about as good a picture as you can expect out of this generation.

I'll end my post with a question. Does anybody know when the big N is planning to drop the system update that includes Opera? I'm eager to see how the browser is going to work.

QrafTee

I saw a video of a Wii using its internet capabilities. I'm not sure if its the Opera browser, but I doubt there is anything else. It basically works like a normal browser with your Wii remote as the mouse. Drag, click, whatever you normally do to navigate a page.

Some guy found a way to bypass the Wii's systems to use the browsers capabilities, for this reason he could only surf the web for around 5 minutes or so before his Wii froze.

Fire Boar

Mine's been pre-ordered! Time for celebrations!

I live in the UK and it's out in 2 weeks time.

Although I doubt I'll be able to get it on launch day: the queues will be awful!

The Wii has broken all first week sales records in this country... and that's before it's even been released! I reckon that's impressive.

Oh, and Ninty are shipping 4 million consoles into the UK alone by December... that's double what Sony planned.
