That's very true - one of the rationalizations I had for getting a PS2 back in the day was that I didn't have a DVD player and it would cover that base, too.

And if you think about it, if you're going to be dropping $500 on a game system, an extra $100 doesn't seem like so much to get the top-of-the-line version. In a comparative sense, at least.

But still... damn.

Spore looks like another time-killer. I loved the idea of creatures you create and develop "infecting" the game world of everyone else.

Zelda

I can't understand why they didn't make the nunchuck wireless too.

I am pretty sure that Wii may turn out to be the best of the next-next-gen systems...

Agreed. The price point is just right, and the feel of the console seems well thought out.

To think, this will be the first nintendo console I ever own.

I think the Wii controller is wireless; it's just the secondary part that's connected by a wire to the main controller, correct?

I was a loyal Nintendo fanboy for most of my life - went NES, SNES, N64. Went with the PS2 for my last purchase, simply because i felt it was time to explore a more 'mature' machine and game line. But, with the price point on the PS3 (and my dislike of MS and XBox) I just may be going home again. :)

theres alot of positive buzz right now about nintendo's Wii

There was an extra '/' in your link, I fixed it ;)


My word. how is that line even possible? It looks like a 5 hour wait.....WII FOR THE WIN!

Robin Williams tests Spore

extended version

Did anyone else hear that Wii is going to use Opera as a web browser?

yup

Super Mario Galaxy

Duck hunt 2

SD Gundam

what are the tech specs on it, are the other systems that much more powerful?

I'm still most excited about the wii virtual console. I've been playing emulators for years, but to get back to the console feel will be phenominal.

Virtual Console Pics

Hudson says 100 games for the turbo graphics, and I'm sure sega will better that (150+ most likely). I say at least 200 games for each nintendo console and every game cube game will run on wii. Finally the wii itself will probably have between 10-20 games at launch. That over 1000 games at launch. For a system thats likely to be sub-$250 at launch, I'd be hard not to get one.

its roughly twice as powerfull as the game cube. nintendo has decided to focus on getting people to learn a new way of playing and enjoying games this generation. next gen will not only have HD power, but the Wii's controll scheme.
