Posted May 14, 2006 Everyone seems to be assuming that the speaker on the wiimote was the last secret, but it definately isn't. In the conference the guy (that demos Zelda) clearly says something along the lines of "this is ONE of the wii's last secrets" So there is definately another secret/secrets. Okay now watch Matt's interview with Perrin Kaplan from E3 http://uk.media.revolution.ign.com/articles/708/708093/vids_1.html She completely tries to ignore the question of more hardware secrets. Its so obvious you have to see it [about 1/2 way through I think] See says something about how the hardcore gamers should be very interested in what Nintendo have to show (I watched this the other day so can't remember it all exactly) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 Well, the speaker being one of the secrets, and the Connect24 technology being the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 I knew there were more secrets because they said they will show somethings, but deliberately show some later. (Reggie said this i think). Something to interest hardcore gamers? This should be good i hope.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 You shouldn't get your hopes up too much, it probably won't be anything huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 You shouldn't get your hopes up too much, it probably won't be anything huge. If you look at Perrins reaction you can kind of tell theres something big being hidden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 I dunno how big it is but there sure is something, you can just tell! I think it's most likely going to be a combination of little things. TGS is where we'll get the final full info I reckon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 There was something big she was hiding ,if it was something smaller she wouldn't of reacted the way she did.But the Wii still has quite a few secrets left anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 She said it would be the icing on the cake, something to top it all of with. Sounds like a nice thing to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 microphone That is actually genius. Most hardcore gamers like to use tactics in online games, so like the xbox live service, the NWFC could do something similar with headsets. Most people want this any ways, communication is the best way to enjoy a game, but will be limited to those who are your friends to keep things on the safe side.

Posted May 14, 2006 I hope its not a microphone. I've believed all alone there'll be something special visually, and I don't care what anyone says or thinks of my prediction, its what I believe. And to those that say 'but we've already seen it on TV screens so it can't be' well Nintendo always said the console would play on a TV/Monitor but a special form of 3D would be optional.

Posted May 14, 2006 I think one of the secrets will be a mic.Just gotta wait a few months so we know everything about the Wii. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 i hope its a time machine, that would blow sony right out of the water. on a serious note, ive seen that video and she did ignore hat question, didnt they say there was one moer harware secret or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 You shouldn't get your hopes up too much, it probably won't be anything huge. I though the speaker news was quite big,... maybe it's a nice online hub for ds and wii gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 The controller, GameCube connectivity, SD, DVD playback, little speaker, new colours, the shell, nintendo connect24 and the games cumulatively are quite revolutionary. However.. the only one that stands up as revolutionary itself is the controller.. and we had already seen that. I think there could be something else- I don't think a microphone will be a secret.. it's going to happen for Mario party games or something. I think it's probably some nunchaku add-ons which are really radical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 MEGATON!!! is coming lol just had to pull that joke! A microphone will probably come to Wii but if there is a final secret that is not it. TGS? naaa. I reckon nintendo have their own show this year and september would be a bit late to unveil the last secret as the console is rumoured to launch in one territory in either september or October.

Posted May 14, 2006 Might be a little simple- but the last secret might just be as simple as the price of the system- games- (launch and more) accesories- (prices and nunchaku selection) online content- (back catalogue and services) the release date- (pretty important and still a secret) Collectively while it is possible to estimate it- to know it for fact is quite a big secret.

Posted May 14, 2006 Matt: Is there any more hardware suprises? Perrin : YES Doubt thats release date or price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 *3 years later Stocka: I still believe that there is a big final secret *stereoscopic 3d helmet visor* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 I'm sure someone said they saw Reggie talking to Steven Spielberg at it... I think that they were planning to announce the final big secret but when they saw that Sony had copied them they decided not to... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 I know i noticed that too, there is something hidden. I hope it is something visually aswell, like how we "see" the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 I'm sure someone said they saw Reggie talking to Steven Spielberg at it... I think that they were planning to announce the final big secret but when they saw that Sony had copied them they decided not to... Yeah that was my theory, afterall Sony said they had a secret to show at TGS *cough* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 *3 years later Stocka: I still believe that there is a big final secret *stereoscopic 3d helmet visor* Haha. To be honest, we're being spoilt enough as it is. I really don't think there is one almighty big secret left. There may be some small neat touches, but i really don't expect one final all-encompassing secret. Right now, we need the games.

Posted May 14, 2006 And as we have seen from the "Two Kings" thread, Shigsy (Its Shigsy not Shiggy!) and Spielberg seem to be pals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2006 I think if there are going to be any overwelming secrets it will be the price tag as im sure Nintendo realised the negetivity towards the price tag of the PS3. Im defintely not expecting any big secrets other than that. also that flap (not the gc controller ports) that everyone talks about, wouldnt that be for whatever memory they are using to save ur games on? i mean they wont reveal the flap until they make it offical how we would save our games, thats all i genuinely think the flap will be about also. reason why i said this which would seem offtopic is because many people think this will be something big. I think we have seen the best of the Wii in terms of secrets and im already shitfaced impressed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
