What do you guys think of this article on my new Wii blog? Nintendo Needs the DS to be their iPod Wouldn't it be sweet if you could synch your DS to the Wii's Virtual Console seamlessly over wifi? Even sweeter if VC supports online play! (Like emulators can.) Classic smash brothers online on the DS, or Super Bomberman through Nintendo Wi-fi... -shivers-

Wooow you're right, that totally slipped my mind. Eternal Sunshine is awesome, and Carey's amazing in it! I can see you're a big Andy Kaufman fan?

Sweeeet!

This sounds really awesome, but I'm not a fan at all of Nintendo's production values on the E3 floor demo. I think this (as well as other music games) has a lot of potential on the Wii as a new gaming genre, but the sound quality has to be really amazing, and considering the aim of the feeling of immersion (feeling as if you ARE conducting an orchestra, etc.) I feel like they should really spiff up the orchestra / stage graphics. But whatever, cool concept anyway so far!

Yeah. I'm expecting it in the US in November, as I've heard November dates thrown around before, and Nintendo has also said in the past that they would launch with or before the PS3, which is also launching that month.

Wow, Red Steel was running on GC dev kits? That's good to hear, considering the complainst that the graphics were subpar the trailer, etc. Does anyone know how the hardware specs on these dev kits stack up to the final Wii's?

It'd be sweet to have it included as a little mini-game with all Wii's, perhaps even as a collection of a series of minigames in a disk called "Wii Training" or something.

I'm so glad I imported it. Sorry guys, I had to say it. >

Ummm Lost anyone? I'd call it a guilty pleasure, in that it's a total vacation from reality, and it's about the best such vacation I've so far seen.

The Truman Show This movie seems to get more and more relevant each time I see it, what with people spending more and more of their lives in virtual worlds, and scenarios like the Matrix seemingly a real possibility, as gaming technology accelerates. (Cough, Wii.) But anyway, it's a really smart story, very well done, and a great combination of comedy and some pretty powerful drama. And believe it or not, Jim Carey is pretty good in it. Go watch it now!

Sooo unfair! How were the Namco / Capcom booths?
