Spak, you're right, somehow I missed the point that if it gets posted, not only would Nintendo have seen it but then the rest of the world does and then we'd have a real indicator of how many Wii owners want something. (Then again, someone could vote six times, but still.)

I remember when we discussed if Nintendo could access our play history from our message boards, but now we don't really know. However, a poll is certainly handy for Nintendo to track what we like.

Given the Wii's "new gamer" philosophy, questions about the Wii or games itself might be intimidating. However, if they were in a category all their own, it would be okay. However, they might think that people would take it as a sign that Nintendo would necessarly do something to appeal to the popular choices, so then they'd probably put up a disclaimer if people did take the questions too seriously or felt that Nintendo wasn't.

There's always some trouble. So instead we're getting simple and innocent questions like if you like dogs or cats. Then again... Nintencats, anyone? (Or Kittendo, whatever.)

Would you support a Wii 2.0 with graphic and RAM enhancements for HD support in 3 years?

1) Yes
2) No

Now that I think about it, I may have confused Spak-Spang with Smash_Brother, who said he was interested in Super Mario RPG but then suddenly hated on all RPGs. Sorry about that.

Hate is such a strong word, though, he's just not a fan of the genre. He did say that he prefers real time action RPGs, which is still part of the RPG family.

I am not a fan of RPGs, but there are a few that I love.

The portable Mario RPGs
The original Paper Mario
Secret of Mana series
Chrono Trigger

I remember playing Super Mario RPG on the SNES and I enjoyed the game. It actually felt like a true Mario game, and that is what captivated me.

I am really disappointed I can only ask one question at a time. I will make a list of the questions I want to ask and slowly go through them one each day then rinse and repeat.

lol, this channel such a joke. I can see some nintendo marketing guy coming up with this just as a easy way to get research while doing nothing and still getting pay. Still fun though, I voted for roses/mountain/22century.

I like the idea of submitting questions together but they can't be stuff like "do you want cheap VC games" since they are too one sided, but they should still be win win for us like

What games would you like to see on the VC?
1 Neo Geo games! - 2 More Nintendo64 games.

Correct.

I was just playing the original Secret of Mana and enjoying it very much because it actually engages me and forces me to use my reflexes to dodge enemy attacks and out maneuver enemies and bosses alike. I just beat the two werewolves who had my new party member cornered despite the fact that my lower level placed me at a severe disadvantage against them. My trick? I ignored the usual strategy of allowing your melee attack to recharge and pinned them with a rapidly-swinging weapon to keep them from healing each other

Turn-based RPGs, on the other hand, might as well just ask you to press a button to see the next portion of the sub-par, inevitable, clichéd storyline. Had SoM been turn-based, the game would have demanded that I ran around getting into random monster attacks for hours until my level was high enough to defeat these werewolves instead of allowing me to outwit them and earn my next party member earlier.

And to keep on topic, I have a question for the poll:

I think turn-based RPGs:
1. Suck
2. Suck hard

Do you think Nintendo fans whine too much?

1) yes
2) yes, too damn much.

=)

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #60 on:** February 14, 2007, 01:23:00 PM »

I understand the one sided questions so tried to change my question around a bit.

I asked:

Would you buy more Virtual Console games if the prices were cheaper?

1)Yes
2)No

At first it still sounds one sided. But be honest. I have bought everything I wanted at this price basically...so I would honestly have to answer No...because Nintendo would probably still get my money. Also some people will never use the virtual console feature, because they just don't care about old games...so that is a No as well.

Then there are people that would buy more games be it they can just afford to buy more...or they think they are overpriced and won't buy them until a price drop occurs.

ok......is every "one" little Mii supposed to represent each person that voted. I mean, is that how many people are voting in this? It doesn't look like that many

Hell no that's not everyone who voted. That's just a visual representation of it.

I enjoy how you can see the percentage that predicted correct and how the data splits between Male and Female. Is everyone 82 Meters away right now?

SixthAngel · « **Reply #65 on:** February 15, 2007, 08:19:16 AM »

I haven't downloaded the channel yet, but I wouldn't expect Nintendo to use this channel to actually gather information. If they ask about lower prices everyone will say yes. The questions will probably be pretty much all fun questions like the first round. Don't expect this to be the channel where everyone at NWR can complain through, but instead a channel for people to flip on quickly to enjoy for a few seconds.

NeoThunder · « **Reply #66 on:** February 15, 2007, 11:23:36 AM »

Here's a good question......
Would you have bought the "Everybody Votes Channel" for 500 points?

I don't think anyone would have downloaded it since no one would know what it is.....perfect reason why we need demo VC games and channels

stevey · « **Reply #67 on:** February 16, 2007, 12:06:34 AM »

Odd, the result for cat v dog won't show. Does anyone have it or does it hides result for poll I didn't vote on?

Ceric · « **Reply #68 on:** February 16, 2007, 01:50:10 AM »

Aren't the results for that poll suppose to be later today?

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #69 on:** February 16, 2007, 02:11:49 AM »

With two questions down, I'm batting a thousand, and yet I'm still 82 units of measurement from popular opinion. How can that be? It's unlikely that I'll keep up a perfect record, so is this the closest it's possible to be? Is Nintendo making a statement about the inherent social awkwardness of gamers?

decoyman · « **Reply #70 on:** February 16, 2007, 03:52:48 AM »

Dogs won by quite a bit, stevey... though there were some countries where cats were more popular (Sweden, for example). I chose "cat" for me, but figured dogs would win, so I predicted dogs and was right! Woo! This is kind of fun

Edit: These results were up last night for me... not sure what's going on...

Ceric · « **Reply #71 on:** February 16, 2007, 03:57:37 AM »

Darn I lost... I predicated cats because of WiiKitty

Half of these countries probably voted for dogs as a food source.

Dogs do tend to have more meat in their bones.

Also, cat meat is only reserved for special occasions and for fancy restaurants due to how delicate their meat is.

My dad is always telling me that in Hong Kong, stray dogs become someone's lunch. He says there's probably a law against that but that still doesn't stop some people.

One strange fact that I've always remembered is that some kind of green beans expand dog meat. It's supposedly possible to feed green beans to someone who just made a meal out of a dog and their stomach could rip apart fatally. Serves them right!

Anyway, I STILL don't have my Wii back from Nintendo of Canada so I'm STILL missing out. Did anyone make a campaign of submitting particular questions about things they'd like to see?
