Probably just didn't bother to update them. The E3 trailer was from the GCN version and it looked the same as the Wii version graphics wise.
-
Looking much nicer than the first scans (looks more like a 360/PS3 game than a GCN game now!)
I'm a sucker for ultra cute Japanesy style games so I'll probably pick it up on day 1
-
BS, you can't connect to the internet without an internet connection ROFL!

Agrees with Zeldafreak, games are too expensive as they are. If Nintendo truly want to break into the non gamer market they need to price their games in an impulse buy catagory (I'd say around £30, with DS games dropped to £20)
That being said, these prices are not confirmed as Nintendo and only Nintendo decide the pricing for Wii games, not Sega. I reckon that they'll just be £40 again but you never know!

I'd like her to show me a single Nintendo game that has scantly clad women in it! (To her probably any game that appears on a Nintendo console is made by Nintendo themselves!)
And that's part of the problem, non gamers are so ignorant about video gaming that they wont even give it a second look. With all the bad press gaming gets, a typical non gamer probably thinks that all gamers are fat sweaty male nerds who play alone in a dark room and that the only types of games that sell are either violent shooting games, fighting games, realistic racing games and sports games (The Xbox is a major contributor to this stigma as that's pretty much the only types of games you get on there!)
If gaming is to ever break this stigma, 1 of 2 things needs to happen. Either Nintendo gain control over the market and market the hell out of the non games or developers embrace Nintendo's idea of non games and start producing some themselves (Capcom and Atlas are doing good so far
)Sony did good with the eye toy and advertising games like singstar and Guitar hero but that's not enough. They are still single minded about what types of games people want and their idea of the PS3 entertainment hub. Microsoft are so stuck in a rut they can't even see any other types of games around them!
Nintendo have always been pushing boundries and producing and advertising different types of games but they've truly hit the nail on the head with these non games. Now that they have truly mainstream games, they need to make the console avaliable to the mainstream and the only way they're gonna do that is by releasing the Wii for a cheap price (I'm thinking £100-£130) and drop the price of games from £40 to £30 at least (This is a major problem as DVDs are £20)
DS games are currently too expensive (Aside from Brain Training
) and they should be around £20 (Preferably less) to truly break into the non gamer market. Nintendo's games and consoles need to be placed into an impulse buy category and at the moment, their games and consoles are too expensive for a non gamer to justify their purchase.So in short, Ninty's non games = good but are too expensive : peace:
-
DS demos will be a mamimum size of 4MB (the size of the DS' RAM) so I don't think that will pose too much of a problem.
IMO the smartest thing Nintendo could do with the Wii is to include the USB WiFI Connector with every Wii console. That way anyone with an Internet Connection can connect online (As accessories, aside from controllers and memory cards, never sell!)
-
Personally I can't tell the difference between 480p and 480i, I tried switching between the two while in america but I couldn't see a blind bit of difference
720p compared to 480i though is a totally different story!
The Xbox 360 looks perfectly fine on my 480i TV (Almost as good as on the HDTVs they use on the demo stands) and there's no pixillation thanks to some good AA. I expect that the Wii will be pretty much the same in that respect so if that's the case then I don't give a rats arse about HDTV!
-
Well he does have a very feminine look in OoT!
Hawt!
-
Next thing you know he'll take over Iwata as president!
First Nintendo, then the games industry, then the world HA HA HA HA HA!!!
-
Remember guys (and gals) this is the maximum price of the console, it could get even lower!
And if it gets lower in the US or in Japan, expect it to be lower here too!
My estimate of £129.99 and Friday October 6th (Tuesday, October 2nd in US and Japan) still stands as possible!
-
Come on NOE, announce the price already!!! (or at least do what NOJ and NOA are doing!)
-
£129.99, same price as GCN when it first came out and an October launch is almost certain IMO. Nintendo said that they were aiming for a worldwide simultaneous launch and they need to beat the PS3 to the starting gate.
LOL that's almost 1/4 of the price of the PS3!!!
:laughing: -
Please please Nintendo put the Lylat Wars team behind this, don't give this game out to anyone!!!
You have a chunk of gold in your hands, don't let anyone else's greasy hands spoil it!!! (Looks back at SFA and SFASS and dies a little inside)
-
Argh when's it coming out I NEED THIS GAME!!!
-
Yeah Wii Sports and Wii Music sounds about right. Nintendo could make a killing on these if they market them as non games, so I doubt that we'll see them with the console unless they do some sort of special bundle pack.
-
I really want to believe the original article, but I'm leaning more towards the update. It sounds more plausable that they would compare the DVD footage to the Bluray footage.
-
As long as there is a single FC for each console, I'll be happy.
-
It looks like Fire Red and Leaf green with the AWDS viewpoint. Even the third screenshot looks like your house from pallet town and I think the second screen is from the Seafoam islands (Where Articuno is)
I swear to God if this is another remake I will go ballistic!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: On the other hand, if it is just allowing you to revisit old places (Like Gold and Silver let you go back to Kanto after beating the Elite 4) then YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!
:bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy: -
XD that's the funniest video I've seen in an age!
-
Yeah I've calmed down now. To be honest I've been expecting this to happen ever since Sony announced that their PS3 boomerang controller wasn't the final design.
I did notice that the controls were really shoddy (But what else do you expect from Sony!) and that it only detected tilt movement but I just couldn't help myself and went a bit loopy
Actually thinking about it, it's a bit of a relief as Sony have failed to truly copy the Wiimote and have ended up with a half assed tilt sensor that wouldn't even worry Kirby's Tilt N' Tumble.
As long as Nintendo still have some surprises up their sleeve and they get the Wii out before the PS3, they should be OK.
Oh BTW have you heard, the $500 PS3 doesn't include HDMI, Wifi or the SD/CF/Memorystick slots, making the cheaper PS3 worthless!
http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/060509c.pdf
Look at how HDMI, the WiFi and the CF/SD/Memorystick slots are crossed out on the $500 model. It's far worse that what MS did with the core pack, you can't even upgrade the pack to include the same functionality. Once you go core, there's no moving on from there.
Doing a currency conversion $600 turns out to be roughly £324 and since Sony always charge more over here, expect at least £399.99 over here (And that's if were lucky!)
They think that a poor Wiimote clone will cover up a piss poor E3 showing (No new games at all, no good revelations aside from greatest hits for PSP, crappy Wiimote clone and a price so high that only Bill Gates can afford to buy one!) LMAO!
-
It's unlikely that this will be the focus of Sony's marketing though (It'll have to choose to promote traditional gaming or tilt gaming and it can't promote both)
Wii however will be marketing the hell out of the motion sensetivity and more people will pick up on that. The PS3 controller looks complicated and uninviting to non gamers (And the crappy half assed tilt detection won't do anything to help that) whereas the Wii looks like a simple TV remote, easy and simple to use.
Once people get to try out the Wii controller (And believe me that will be the Wii's main form of marketing, word of mouth from a friend who's tried it out) they'll see ther PS3 for what it is, a poor imitation of the Wii controller at a much more expensive price (This will be greatly enforced by getting the Wii out before the PS3)
Nintendo absolutly must get the Wii out before the PS3. If they don't, then the Wii will be seen to be the one who's ripping off the PS3 controller.

Very very good article please read this, it'll show you how Sony have not quite fully succeeded in suppressing a Revolution... yet.
In essence it is like comparing Kirby's Tilt N' Tumble to the Wiimote!
-
I can't believe it, they've gotta be breaking some sort of anti competitive laws here!
There's absolutely no way on God's earth they can possibly get away with this, please tell me this can't happen!
This isn't possible, this can't be happening!!!
I'm seriously considering going down to Sony's European HQ and protesting outside. I'll wait till Ninty's conference and then I'll save up my money.
If anyone wants to come along, by all means join me! The more people we have, the more likely we'll get televised.
-
I feel physically sick!, I can't believe they actually did it. I had a feeling that they would... but to see it actually happen I can't believe it. Nintendo have to fight back in a law suit, they have no choice now.
If it's any consolation Warhark seemed to handle terribly and it doesn't mention any sort of 3D motion detection for the controller, it only mentions tilting and pulling the controller up and down.
I'm sure that Nintendo knew Sony were going to do this. They've probably got something up their sleeves... I hope
New Tales game to be unveiled soon!! for Wii??
in Nintendo Gaming
Posted
Yeah I jut saw this on NeoGaf, why in the Blue FUCK is the PSP getting three Tales of Games! These'll never come out of Japan anyway and the PSP is a dead duck there!!!
Tales Of Destiny PS2 does look HAWT though, shame it'll never get released outside Japan
Tales of The Tempest is now coming out in october as well
:mad: and there's still no word on whether or not it's coming out over here 
:mad: 
Pics here http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=105718&page=7 (Check the rest of the thread for more pics)
So that's 3 remakes (1 being the 4th version of the same game - Phantasia) and 1 crappy dungeon crawler (Tales of the World) This sucks! Where's my Tales of Wii!!!
And why is the DS getting so little Tales of love and the PSP gets it all, Sony fans have already played these games and the PSP is dead in Japan, give it to the Nintendo fans and the DS!!!
I guess Namco just don't like money
Oh yeah, not sure if this is new or not but I'm posting it anyway, Tales of Symphonia OVA (Original Video Animation) coming out in 2007
See how they use the PS2 logo, Fucking Bastards!
