"In a surprise announcement, Nintendo said that it wanted to make Wii a living room centerpiece by shipping the system with features outside of the videogame realm. Wii will include a photo channel, enabling users to display their digital photos through the console. It will also boast regularly updated news and weather channels. In addition, the system will ship with the Opera Web browser, enabling users to connect online."

 

very cool!

i want one so bad but i have so many games i still need to play on PC and PS2.

 

Yup, I can't wait to get mine!
But I'll also have to wait a bit before I get mine.

I can't wait to play Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess... It's setting up to be the greatest game ever created. It is so big, it will take you 45 minutes to travel from one end of the land to the other. Not to mention there is supposed to be two different worlds/dimensions.

 

I know it is going to rock...they never let us down with zelda games.

 

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, mother****er, Wii!

I'm probably gonna do a preorder, I dont want to risk these selling out because they probably will right away. W00t!

 

More on the Zelda game... during the Nintendo event today, Nintendo said that "If you were to play Zelda day to day for six hours, you'd only be scratching the surface..."

 

you lost me here... day to day for 6 hours....but how many days? you sure thats theh whole quote?

 

youknow what... it doesnt make sense lol... i dont know why, but I automatically though one week. But now that I read it again, it doesnt say for how long. And that is the complete quote from IGN (i think they cut part of it out or the presenter thought everyone would get how many days)
"If you were to play Zelda all day to day for six hours, you'd only be scratching the surface..."

ign is blocked by the firewall at work so i'll have to look at home. but that quote doesn't make any sense if thats the whole thing. LOL

 

bad quote minus fractured hyperbole... "TP will be a big game"

 

yea, horrible reporting from the kids at ign lol.
They take good pictures though

 

thats a steal for $250!!


edit: wait... batteries??? i dont get that. and i take it the "normal" controler will be sold seperately?

 

Batteries for the wireless controllers

and the "normal" control will be sold seperately for 20 bucks

Seems like it will come with some Wii points to download those old classics (i.e. duck hunt)

 

 

That's great... saved it to my plethora of gifs

 

haaha gotta have more cowbell!

 

So its gonna operate like the Xbox? Where you can download games like Pacman and Frogger etc?

And Wireless is the way to go.

 

Yes, except those will be NES, SNES, Genesis and N64 games...

 

Something that is pretty cool that will come with the Wii, is the Mii function. This is where you create your own avatar and you throw yourself among your buddy list world

All of your Buddies are stored in the Mii/Wii world, and you can click on them to see their info and see if they are online. It is expected that once the games with the wireless function start being released, this function will be really useful.

The even cooler thing about this is that you can use your avatar, or one of your buddies avatar, and place them in the Wii Sports game that will be bundled with the Wii.
