Wii Will Rock You!--N5's Official Name [merged 2]

[DarthRekal]

But they are getting third party support. A lot of developers are very intrigued with Nintendo's controller and they just announced madden for the console. I think the system is going to be ok with the marketing. That video introducing the name was pretty cool.

i hope so man..like i said im all for it.......but the name kinda irks me..you cant honestly say .... that you think thats a cool..lets go out and buy it name..it has to grow on you

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Ugly.

Wow, you suck more and more everyday.

 

[jaydawg]

Well he is a giant loser.

1. The Gamecube was more powerful than the Playstation 2 and despite not being as graphically powerful as the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3, the Revolution can produce some pretty games.

2. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Resident Evil 4, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Geist, Soul Calibur II and the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess are games suitable for the adult market.

3. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was an awesome game. The graphics were awesome (despite being cel-shaded), the gameplay was awesome (despite too much sailing), and it produced the best fight with Ganon/Ganondorf EVER. You only b***h about this because the the cel-shaded graphics and that's it. If the graphics were like the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask you probally wouldn't be b***hing about it. Oh well, the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is using a different style for their graphics closer to the Nintendo 64 games, so happy now?

4. That's because Nintendo is about the games, not unnecessary features such as playing DVDs and CDs. That is what DVD and CD players are for. Because Nintendo decided to ignore these features, the Gamecube was cheaper than the Playstation 2 and Xbox. But don't worry, the Wii is going to have a DVD player in it so happy now?
Yes, Nintendo made a mistake by ignoring online gameplay unlike Microsoft and Sony, but they are fixing it. The Wii will have online play to it.

5. Super Mario Sunshine for the Gamecube is a true Mario game. Super Mario 128 will be on the Wii, hopefully as a launch title. Yoshi's Story, Luigi's Mansion, and Wario World are decend spin-offs of the Mario world. However Nintendo does need to cut down on the Mario Parties and the Mario Sports titles.

6. Nintendo has said that because they belive in quality over quantity. They want people to enjoy their games and products. That is their number one goal compared to Sony and Microsoft whose number one goal is to make a profit and come out on top.

7. Yes, pure graphical power is innovation. Something that has been done before, again, and again. That my friend is not innovation. That is taking a successful formula and using it again because it will succeed. That is what Sony and Microsoft are doing. Nintendo is trying something new with the Wii and while doing that, they are respecting traditional gaming, hence why shells for the controller for the Wii are going to be made to play a game in the traditional sense. Also Gamecube controllers can be used for the Wii. So expect Resident Evil 5, EA Sport's Madden 2007, Spider-Man 3, and many other titles that will appear on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 to appear on the Wii. Also, the Wii can play games from the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Genesis, and Turbo-Graphx on the system due to the Virtual Console service.
And the Wii is expected to have better 3rd party support than the Nintendo 64 and the Gamecube did.

8. Stealing is never cool, you want something, you pay for it. There was some amount of work put into things that are offered for sale.

Brilliant post..... but damn.... Wii is such a terrible name. NintenGo was even better than this.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

They should have just called it the N5, or something ninja-ish like "Nintendo Nunchucks".

 

[Benstamania]

Pffft, I stopped caring what consoles were called long ago. Wii is sortof stupid but whatever.

Anyway....

 

[terry78]

I can already hear the "Wheeeeeeeee!" comments now. Though you must confess, if that is the true name it's in good company.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

They should have just called it the N5, or something ninja-ish like "Nintendo Nunchucks".

How bout N69

 

[WhatsHisFace]

How bout N69

That would be Nintendo's first mature console.

 

[ampersand]

I think the name wii is actually starting to grow on me. I'm thinking of how funny it's going to be when buying new games for it. "hi, do you have Metroid Prime 3 for wii?"

 

[WhatsHisFace]

They can't release the console with that name in Britain.

 

[Benstamania]

I honestly think it should be pronounced "why?" but seriously - i don't mind it. from a design point of view it think it is cool - being only 3 digits - looks like a car model. i'm sure it'll only be fodder for the haters - but in the end, the only part of "Nintendo Wii" that matters is "Nintendo."

ya, a lot of those are ports that were already released. As far as the rest goes...that's not a big selection of GOOD adult games for the whole span of a counsel.

3. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was an awesome game. The graphics were awesome (despite being cel-shaded), the gameplay was awesome (despite too much sailing), and it produced the best fight with Ganon/Ganondorf EVER.

Oh well, the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is using a different style for their graphics closer to the Nintendo 64 games, so happy now?

I played Wind Waker through to the end. It was fun, but the whole thing should have been like, a side game to a real Zelda game because the novelty wore out by the second dungeon. Even so, it was way too short and easy as well. It doesn't come near Ocarina of time, and the cell shading just takes away from the whole atmosphere that draws you in the first place.

Yes, Nintendo made a mistake by ignoring online gameplay unlike Microsoft and Sony, but they are fixing it. The Wii will have online play to it.

I have a theory that Nintendo skipped online play because the majority of their games are aimed at CHILDREN, and online nothing can be rated because of text and sound communications. Nintendo probably didn't want to be liable. This time they are probably doing it just because it would probably be death for them if they didn't. Maybe that means their children market will be forced to diminish and balance will be restored, or maybe not. It will be interesting.

5. Super Mario Sunshine for the Gamecube is a true Mario game. Super Mario 128 will be on the Wii, hopefully as a launch title. Yoshi's Story, Luigi's Mansion, and Wario World are decend spin-offs of the Mario world. However Nintendo does need to cut down on the Mario Parties and the Mario Sports titles.

Mario 128, Luigi's Mansion, and Yoshi's Story all SUCKED. Especially Yoshi's story, how dissapointing. A side scroller with just about no teeth. Look at the sheer difficulty and complexity of Yoshi's Island 2 for SNES, a much better game with a lot of replay value. Getting 100 point on every level to get bonus levels? A hell of a lot more levels and worlds. And it was one of the more difficult games to begin with. You gotta love those levels where all odds are stacked against you.

Also, Nintendo themselves said Sunshine wasn't a true sequal to M 64 and that the next will be. 64 2/128/whatever it's called has been put on the backburner so many times it just forward tracked 3 counsels. That's bad.

6. Nintendo has said that because they belive in quality over quantity. They want people to enjoy their games and products. That is their number one goal compared to Sony and Microsoft whose number one goal is to make a profit and come out on top.

But they come out on top because they have such good games. Profit motive is a good motive to make a damn good game.

7. Yes, pure graphical power is innovation. Something that has been done before, again, and again. That my friend is not innovation. That is taking a successful formula and using it again because it will succeed. That is what Sony and Microsoft are doing.

We are a visually society and as a filmmaker I'd play a game like Ocarina of time for the aura, the atmosphere. Visuals have to spark your imagination in a way that you sometimes forget you're playing a game.

8. Stealing is never cool, you want something, you pay for it. There was some amount of work put into things that are offered for sale.

Meh, it's taking from the rich.

 

[Danalys]

first i thought why. then as i read it was pronounced we i still thought why.
why wee.

 

[hippie_hunter]

ya, a lot of those are ports that were already released. As far as the rest goes...that's not a big selection of GOOD adult games for the whole span of a counsel.

Only Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica were ports. And all the games I mentioned were great games (except for Geist which kinda sucked).

I played Wind Waker through to the end. It was fun, but the whole thing should have been like, a side game to a real Zelda game because the novelty wore out by the second dungeon. Even so, it was way too short and easy as well. It doesn't come near Ocarina of time, and the cell shading just takes away from the whole atmosphere that draws you in the first place.

The cell-shading wouldn't have worked in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but it worked perfectly in the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. And yes, you are right, it doesn't come near the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but here's to hoping that the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will.

I have a theory that Nintendo skipped online play because the majority of their games are aimed at CHILDREN, and online nothing can be rated because of text and sound communications. Nintendo probably didn't want to be liable. This time they are probably doing it just because it would probably be death for them if they didn't. Maybe that means their children market will be forced to diminish and balance will be restored, or maybe not. It will be interesting.

Nintendo thought that online gamming would not take off on consoles. Xbox Live proved them wrong. Nintendo has realised that mistake and they are fixing it.

Mario 128, Luigi's Mansion, and Yoshi's Story all SUCKED. Especially Yoshi's story, how dissapointing. A side scroller with just about no teeth. Look at the sheer difficulty and complexity of Yoshi's Island 2 for SNES, a much better game with a lot of replay value. Getting 100 point on every level to get bonus levels?

Super Mario 128 isn't even out yet and the rest were decent, not great. And I didn't say that Super Mario Sunshine was the sequel to Super Mario 64, I said that it was the current true Super Mario game.

But they come out on top because they have such good games. Profit motive is a good motive to make a damn good game.

Comming out on top isn't Nintendo's goal. Nintendo's goal is to make those who have bought their products to be happy and have fun with them.

We are a visually society and as a filmmaker I'd play a game like Ocarina of time for the aura, the atmosphere. Visuals have to spark your imagination in a way that you sometimes forget you're playing a game.

Video games are different from a movie. Some of the best games don't have to have the best graphics. A lot of games that have pretty graphics aren't that good (Doom 3, Quake 4, Kameo). Nintendo is trying something new here while respecting the past. They are taking a gamble while Sony and Microsoft are sticking to what works. For that they at least deserve an applause even if you don't like the concept of the Wii.

Meh, it's taking from the rich.

So what? YOU DON'T STEAL.

 

[ampersand]

I never understood why there is so much Nintendo hate. If you don't like Gamecube, go have fun with your Xbox and PS2.

Mario Kart, Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Resident Evil 4, 0 and REmake, Eternal Darkness, etc... these are among the best games released this generation. There were also great games released for Xbox and PS2. No reasong to hate one just because you like another. It just makes it seem like you are insecure and have to make sure you bash what other people like just to defend your preferences.

I'm anticipating the Wii because I really think it is opening up great new opportunities for gameplay. I'm going to trust that Nintendo can pull it off.

 

[Danalys]

I'm anticipating the Wii

heh. how immersive are wii games going to be.

Because Nintendo used to be something incredible during the NES and SNES. When the rest of the game market grew up Nintendo didn't grow up with them, and now it's a shadow of what it used to be.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Hahahahahahaha
Have they lost their f***ing minds?
Hahahahahahaha

Hey buddy! Bring over yours and we can play Wee-Wee!
LMFAO
Is this real?!? Hahahaha

wee-wee-wee, all the way home...
HAHAHAHAHALOL<OMG!!!

There's no "I" in "We"
NOW THERE ARE TWO!!!!!!

WeeEEEEeeEEEeeEEEeeEEEeEEEeeEEe!!!

LMFAO!!!
I'm crying here.Hahahaha

LOL

 

[KingOfDreams]

They are actually,, if youve seen them in action.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but I still don't see how a slim, remote control like, one-handed controller is all that great.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

it's Wii!

I have not laughed this hard in weeks! LMFAO!
getting dizzy

WeEEEeeEEEeee!

 

[ampersand]

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but I still don't see how a slim, remote control like, one-handed controller is all that great.

That isn't the only part of the controller though. There are other pieces like a joystick that plugs into it and a traditional controller "shell" that the remote slides into.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

sounds intimidating

I love your Neopolitan avatar btw.
