Nintendo Wii sells like zomg

[ScottJC]

I don't know how anyone can think like that, I love the crispness... the blurriness is absolutely horrible to me, so either way, Nintendo can't win. I have a feeling more will prefer it the way I do than the way you do so there is no profit in not giving what the majority of the customer wants. I mean if its going to cost me up to £10 I want the game to be in its top form.

Games I will get on virtual console, Zelda OOT for sure, maybe Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 assuming all will be available.

I just don't like repeating myself three times and people who can't research things themselves pisses me off... Here's a screenshot from the video, notice the outer circle, move it there and it turns the camera that way, move it back into the centre and it stops.

We know how it works, and that's why we're complaining about it. It's not truely mouse-like.

Like I said earlier, it would be awesome for on-rails shooters.

 

[ScottJC]

It depends on how developers implement it, mainly. I don't see it causing a problem like Zelda does it but thats their method.

We should play it like the original! No graphics improvement / enhancement. Though I guess that's the way it goes when you do emulation. Zelda will look horrible ;(

 

[ScottJC]

That's debateable, I think it looks horrible at its original resolution; but the solution would be good if we could have an option for 'original look' or something. I don't see what the big deal is.

 

[Doomulation]

I just told you... games like Zelda will look horrible.
Besides, all the other games are played at their native resolution and graphics... like the NES. Meh, no point in arguing about it, though, as it is unlikely to change.

Hey, have a look at the Zelda Retroperspective:
.::{WiiNintendo.net}::.

There's even a DVD version available for download. Via torrent. And unfortunaly, at the time of writing, there are no seeders and the distribution is incomplete.
However, there are over 1100 peers.

Looks like there will be plenty of consoles for all:
Nintendo to ship 200,000 Wiis every week : Nintendo411
200.000 more consoles each week until the end of 2006. If you haven't grabbed yours, then don't be afraid--you'll probably be able to acquire one.

 

[Allnatural]

I'll give Nintendo credit there. I'm sure they'll be able to deliver plenty of units. Sony's half-assed launch was a joke, and I don't see them ramping up production until the middle of next year at the earliest.

 

[Miretank]

Sony's half-assed launch was a joke

Bad joke for sure.

Btw, any screens of old games running on Wii?

Gamespot has posted some VC reviews, complete with screenshots. Screenshots are only as good as the equipment used to make them though, so take it all with a grain of salt.

 

[Toasty]

If you think the American launch went well, take a look in Japan.

 

[Doomulation]

I think the pre-orders for the revolution exceeded those for the PS3 Nintendo is really riding on the winds of fortune for now. Hope it holds!

 

[Hese]

I live in Finland and all finnish online shops that sell Wii have ran out of Wiis 'cause of the pre-orders. I hope i get Wii before it runs out from the local shops/malls. Wii came to Europe 8th of December by the way. Some online store ran out of Wiis in 2 days from the day they ordered them from Nintendo.

 

[ScottJC]

Speaking of Wii... I've got one of my own now - and it kicks ass.

 

[Miretank]

In your pic it looks like a lot big How's it size?


edit: Haha, have never noticed before but the analog controller looks like the N64's one (the center part of it, of course).

 

[ScottJC]

It's not that big, pictures never do items justice, but basically the wii is like the size of three dvd cases stacked together;

 

[Hexidecimal]

I'm praying my parents are messing with me, because they keep asking when we're getting them in at work, and then saying there is no way I am getting one. I hope christmas morning is as good as I want it to be.

 

[Doomulation]

Why do you have it standing up... really, that's so... ghey?
It really looks like we're out of luck. If you didn't pre-order soon or get one at a local store, you're going to get yours sometime in 2007. It's sad, really...
Though thankfully there is one who wants Zelda for christmas so maybe I can freeload until I get the console for the game! =)

I found a lately released SD card

I found a lately released SD card of the similar function as Nintendo SD card but the price is lower, it is Media gamer, you can go to their website to view the details, it will help you save money, the URL is Media Gamer

 

[ScottJC]

Why would you have it horizontal, thats so... ghey, especially when you've got the gamecube controller/memory plugged into it; Plus it came with a stand and i'm bloody well gonna use it. Trust me it looks better standing up, i've tried it the other way/

 

[Doomulation]

Hah... no way.
I've been thinking about it a lot... I think I'm going to turn that thing so the controller ports (GC) face forward. It looks like a bloody DVD drive.
Standing up is so ghey. This is the first nintendo product that allows it, too...
