i saw this a few days ago, but i dont know if it was here or not.
Plenty of Wii in my area + I already have a preorder
Take a look at the PS3 seeker part of that, they have no solid number of units per store

PS3 is now just a clear blu-ray case, but all will be easy to tell apart
Doesn't matter what the disc looks like, its whats inside that counts

yah i noticed that and had to look at it again. The last NP subscription I had was just after Melee so its about time to subscribe again.
$20 subscription
- $16.99 Guide
- $ ?. ?? CD
its just a no brainer here, as the bonus material easily costs more than the subscription and NP is a great magazine anyway ( time to add it to my collection, EGM and GfW)

Nintendo is going to make alot of money this generation and suceed
1.) They have the cheapest console
2.) The Wii is targeted at a MUCH broader range of people, Sony and Microsoft are targeting a more Hardcore bunch
3.) Nintendo is not losing money on the Wii
4.) Software development is much cheaper than the PS3 and thus will attract more companies, including smaller ones( check out the game " Sadness")
5.) Wii is being marketed as an active and fun multiplayer console
6.) The Games are innovative
7.) The HD reason, most people still dont have HD televisions though it is a growing trend(360 and probably the PS3 wont look good on SD tv)
8.) Ease of programming with ALive
9.) Connect24, similar to Xbox live in terms of updating games, but will do it automatically
10.) Virtual Console, older games are just fun, Im currently playing OOT and MQ to get ready for TP and im having a blast. Also people remember growing up to certain games and old consoles are very hard to find.
11.) An extremely broad range of games from many different developers. (sadness, mario, zelda, metroid, redsteel, elebits, ect)
12.) Compactness. This may not seem like a big reason, but I for one dont have much space for a console and im betting not many others do either. Also makes for a more portable console
13.) Wii stresses innovation over graphics. Simply put, HD graphics are very expensive. I also have a PC for my graphical needs but play my ROMS more than anything else. Games today all seem to be the same, the industry needed some innovation. Look at the DS, in europe it is outselling the psp 3:1, in Japan it outsells everything combined, and in the US it is the top selling console.
Add anything else if you would like

Nintendo Gaming / RE:New Rumor?? from the Guys at EBgames(Zelda)
« on: October 14, 2006, 07:16:58 AM »
yes it does sound like it could be an E3 build but I never remeber zelda even being mentioned to be played with the nunchuck for a sword control. At E3 is was the B button i believe. I guess we'll just have to see in a month. The convention was about 2 weeks ago in dallas and there is not much on the web about it.
heres a quote from http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122023&page=3
Opposite side of the coin... Zelda was NOT intuitive. I'm not saying the controls were bad... they just have a pretty big learning curve. I was patient and it took me about 7-10 minutes to really figure out how to do things properly. The sword slashing did not feel stupid, like I thought it might. Waggling the nunchuck made Link do a spin-attack... which was really cool. It certainly took some getting used to as far as combat goes. Blocking and such feels different. Shooting at the flaming-arrow dudes was frustrating at first because it takes a second to set up your aim, but by they time I was ready to shoot they would hit me with an arrow and that knocks you out of aiming mode. I eventually figured out that if you hold down Z you can strafe around while you aim. EXTREMELY helpful. Most people got frustrated with Zelda... but they were probably drunk. Zelda looked good but very pixelated, but the one I played was on a smaller LCD screen. Bad idea. Lots of jaggies. I later went and watched somebody else play on one of the big big plasmas, and it looked fan-freaking-tastic.
One thing I noticed when playing Zelda is that with the cursor... you are NOT pointing at the screen. You have to point at the SENSOR BAR. Which is EXTREMELY ANNOYING if you are close to the TV. I couldn't figure it out at first. It wasn't a problem with Mario... it felt like I was pointing right at the TV. But with Zelda I honestly thought the calibration (if there is such a thing) was totally off. I realized that I had to back up about 2 feet. Then it was perfect. I can see the Wii being a little frustrating for people with small TVs or who play in close quarters to their sets.
This is all i could find about the convention. Maybe its an option for righty link haters because all the wii version is is a mirrored version of the GC, so it cant be that hard to unmirror.

Nintendo Gaming / New Rumor?? from the Guys at EBgames(Zelda)
« on: October 13, 2006, 08:01:08 PM »
My roommate was at eb on friday preordering of course. The clerk i know for a fact went to the EBgames convention and was able to get first hand play on the Wii and PS3. He said that Zelda has changed hands again, as in Link is a LEFTY again in the WII version. This was found out by my roommate when another customer preordered a wii with the gamecube zelda. The customer was stingy and did not want to preorder the zelda with link as a righty. The clear then said that the sword controls have been moved to the nunchuck attachment, as to keep link left-handed. This makes sense because as you can remember, the sword controls when on the wiimote were based on any movement, the movement caused near the same sword action no matter how it was swung. The nunchuck can sense gyrational motion but not 3d space, which is not needed for the sword action in zelda. Please take this information with a grain of salt because I was puzzled when I was told this on friday, but I do trust the source( the clerk has been working at EB since it was built 2 years ago and my source that told me he went to the convention is a highschool friend).
