Kav Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Here's a link to the interview, in which he discusses the name Wii and generally talks about E3 and the system itself... http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200604/N06.0427.1154.38678.htm and a snippet from the interview that is good to see: GI: It’s been rumored that the new big Revolution secret is the fact that the nun chuck controller is also motion detecting… Atwood: Really. That’s interesting. I would say 9:30 in the morning on Tuesday of E3 will be filled with surprises and I would just show up. Because there’s been a ton of speculation. Some of it’s right. Some of it’s not. We’d say that if that’s the only secret you’re expecting you’re going to be very surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 So its a secret much bigger than the nun chuck being motion detective too, surely it can't be anything other than a visual disruptor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triforcemario Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Surely it has to be a toaster... or a cold fusion unit at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Despite recent revelations im still hyped for E3 and I cant wait to see what Nintendo pulls out of the hat. This will be an E3 to remember my friends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 The virgin example is very good, I mean when people say they are "going to Virgin Megastore" or "Subscribing his Virgin phone contract" they don't really think about it sexually, they just say it. I just think its a weird relation, I mean: River -> Online Retailer [Amazon] Happy slang word -> Search Engine [Yahoo!] An anagram of the word 'fuck' -> Clothes designer [FCUK] ... Toilet referrence -> Video games console [Wii] ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Well said Stocka. As for the next secret, I think it will be a name change of the console to 'Nintendo FetangFetangBiscuitBarrel' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an all girls halls at my uni. We used to call it Virgin Megastores. And by me I don't mean me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViPeR Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 surely it can't be anything other than a visual disruptor? 1. What in the holy buggery is a 'visual disruptor' and 2. It can easily be anything but that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glucoseaddict Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 An anagram of the word 'fuck' -> Clothes designer [FCUK] FCUK stands for 'French Connection UK' (United Kingdom). It's the name of the fashion label plus the division, much like L'Oréal Paris or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kav Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 1UP have an article "All about Wii", linky link here... http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=0&cId=3149198 And something quite interesting they say... What About That Final Secret? Miyamoto and Iwata have hinted at a final secret for Wii that has yet to be revealed. And while we don't have all the details, we've heard that what's in store is exciting indeed -- secrets of a rather revolutionary nature, with some rather cool implications for gaming. Needless to say, we're looking forward to E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyDluffy Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 anyone read the Wii interview with the UK PR guy at cubed3: http://www.cubed3.com/news/4997 quote: C3: Can we expect the Wii to hit Europe at the end of November, as is being speculated by some websites? RS: Everything on the internet and in print to date is pure speculation as we have not announced any specific launch details. I can confirm however that we are committed to a 2006 launch. Always good to hear it again:) lets just hope he's telling the truth:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
