Will Alan Wake be coming to Wii? If it's anything like Max Payne, it would work well with the remote.

Well it has nothing to do with Wii or DS, so it's Microsoft and it's fans problem.

lol, he can booty-shake the house down.

Okay fair point. My biggest concern still remains: what happens when we lose interest in shaking our arms around with a remote? Unlike DS, there's no normal control setting to go back to.

To be honest, the only Pro Logic II game where I've had major problems is with Zelda Wind Waker. Villains coming from directly behind keep sounding like they're coming from the left or the right. There's no middle-ground. Yeah it'd be okay, but you can't obviously use it in HD mode.

Tonnes of you treat me like a retard, I know what I'm saying. It's like full-screen HDTV. Nobody has it, as nobody wants it. Same goes with full-screen EDTV. It's restriction after restriction, it's disgusting Nintendo treats it's consumers like dogs.

1. Nintendo can afford to, because they make billions and they've sold at a loss before. 2. Typical of a fanboy to shove simplicity and ease-of-use in my face, when I'm not even mentioning it. 3. I never said Wii isn't next-generation, I said it's not the controller that makes it next-gen, it's the system itself. If GameCube was re-released with the Wii-mote attachment 4 years ago, it would still be last-generation. 4. Duh. And I am getting a Wii, I'm just going to wait until it either gets rave reviews for its games or it goes down in price. I was going to get it release day, but I'm spending my £130 on the mega-bargain that is the Xbox 360 HD-DVD pack. We need to stop comparing Wii to last generation systems. It's not last generation, it's this generation.

What's so funny? I never said it was aimed at the core-gamer.

It also had online capabilities and better gameplay.

The PSP isn't aimed at the mass market though. DS is.

You missed my point entirely. It doesn't just have to be big blockbuster titles in HD, smaller titles can be HD too, like Tetris (if it wanted to be).

What's the fucking point of EDTV if only a handful of Wii games are widescreen? So we can have lovely textured black bars on the sides of our screens? Or enhanced stretch-o-rama?

Being HD has nothing to do with having good graphics. They're not the same thing, just like HD has nothing to do with being a blockbuster special effects film. And Microsoft and Sony aren't businesses? These are all companies with the interest of profit, it's just Microsoft is using a more consumer-friendly method to provide a better system. The Wii-mote isn't a next generation controller. If it was, then by default most arcades are next-generation as well. The controller has nothing to do with being next-generation. If Nintendo released a controller like the Wii-mote for the GameCube 4 years ago, would that have made the GameCube next generation? No.

I'm sure many people wouldn't mind spending that extra £20 on the system actually be graphically abled for a few years to come.

No, I mean like how Xbox 360 does it. If you want rechargable batteries and packs, you can buy it as an accessory to the system.

So the Wii-mote don't have an external rechargable battery pack option? I'm wondering why because it wouldn't raise the cost of the system.

My new point: Games like Assassin's Creed have both great gameplay and physics, along with fantastic graphics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dKCCEFQkrQ). Why can't Nintendo let us have both? Why does it have to be one or the other? It seems Wii restricts the developers as they can have great gameplay, but are limited with the graphics. I don't think we'll ever see anything as good as Assassin's Creed on Wii, simply because of these restrictions.

If I recall correctly, Nintendo had the option of still owning part of Rare, and for Rare games to be exclusive to both Microsoft and Nintendo. That would have meant all characters that Rare had rights to would be allowed on the Microsoft system, including Nintendo-made ones like DK. Nintendo didn't want Donkey Kong appearing on Xbox, among other characters, so they sold all their shares in Rare. That also meant Microsoft owned 100% of all Rare-designed characters, like Jo Dark, Conker and Banjo, however they all needed to be redesigned models.

Look, that doesn't matter. He's a good film director and storyteller. Steven Spielberg proved that he was a good game director, so maybe PJ will as well. And at the end of the day, this benefits the gamers. I meant he's only made one film after LOTR. He's doing Lovely Bones and Halo now (but not directing the Halo film).

You know, fanboys can have two gaming systems. I was a Nintendo fanboy when I got my PS2 and my Xbox 360.

They haven't released any in-game footage, you can't compare it yet.

I still think MGS4 would come out on top.

I don't think Smash Bros. of all the Nintendo franchise could compete against the PS3 launch in Europe.

He's only made one film though. Anyway he's involved with the next Halo game because he is working closely with Bungie over the Halo movie. They're working hand-in-hand, so a game alongside would make sense. http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=4966 Buy your 360 from here, they give you: Premium set-up, PGR3 game and extra wireless controller for only £285.

They played a live demo. If it was awesome then, it'll look and play great when it comes out.
