Lack of games is why I didn't buy the Gamecube. I think "Lack of games" has been a criticism of Nintendo since at least the SNES days. Of course, more games doesn't mean more quality.

I am just as excited for the Wii as I am for the fact that I am getting a "Gamecube" as well. There's a lot of games that I want to play that I did not want to buy a console for.

There are over 700 games on the machine in the US, thats 13 games a month, 3.25 games a week, just for some perspective. Ratio is better in Japan.

Count me in for the Wii. I was on the fence between the Wii or PS3. From E3, the Wii was a winner for me. Also for a price stand point, the Wii will be in the price range I want. I have the 360 right now, so I'll wait on the PS3 for a while.

This is going to be a fun console. I image playing any sports games with my friends is going to be great. Just image four slightly inebriated guys playing tennis or any other sports games. Let the good times roll......

I'm undecided, leaning towards it though, price will be important to me. Fun multiplayer games is a given since it's Nintendo. Consider that my last console was the original Nintendo and no further, the thought that I may be swayed back into things by Nintendo says a lot. I may be the audience that Nintendo is trying to attract.

Welcome back! Iwata has missed you.

I'm definately hooked for wii. Was going to get it before E3, but now I'm overly excited. Smash Brothers Brawl, Super mario galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Zelda....can't possibly have the time to play all these wonderful games. Luckily, Mario won't be a launch title.

And I thought "PS3 has innovative tilt control now too!" would have fallen under "Had high hopes but they were dashed to the ground because of E3"...

i refuse to call it Wii, it will be known as "New Nintendo" but yeah i'm getting one that E3 demo was awesome.

Up until E3, I had no interest in Wii. I really didn't pay much attention to it (being so caught up in the 360). But after viewing the press conference, I'm most definitely interested in getting it now. The price will determine whether or not I buy it on launch day.

I've come to the conclusion that the 360 isn't a good fit for my tastes. Not to mention that Microsoft has failed to deliver in quite a few areas that are not important to most 360 owners, but are important to me.

The 360 seems to be riddled with FPS wargames and games that require huge investments of time (that I don't have).... like OblIVion. I think that what is most telling is that the game I enjoyed the most (Amped 3) is completely and totally trashed and disliked by the 360 gaming community-at-large.

I saw the Wii games being demoed and they just looked like a lot of fun.

I honestly didn't want one at first. The whole control scheme just reeked of a silly little gimmick to me for the longest time. Now, after seeing the games in motion and hearing more about playing NES/SNES/etc. games, I'm super excited for this.

Never did I think that I'd be more excited for a new Nintendo console than a new Playstation.

Now I just need a price point and a release date, and I'll be all set.

I'm picturing 4 guys on Madden juking the hell out of each other and tackling the receiver. :lol:

It really sounds like the Wii Sports game will be pack-in (or a cheapie) that serves as an introduction to the new controller, hence the simplified control schemes. I'd imagine more intuitive/detailed sports games will be out in the future. I simply cannot wait for the next iteration of Mario Golf, as it is probably my most played Cube game (not my favorite, but one that I ALWAYS went back to for a short games).

So you want the system to be $100 at launch?

$100 console
2x $50 games
= $200

I think you'll be waiting a good while to get all that for $200. A bundle at some point might speed things up a bit though.

I'll buy one at launch. More excited by this launch than I was the Gamecube launch.

i'm betting it will be around 180 to 200, but hey that means i have a 360 and new nintendo for the price of a ps2.5 or 3 depending on how you feel about it

Mii :)

Mii Too


Plus I imagine Mario Party will kick ass on the Wii.

If you're calling the PS3 the PS2.5, then you should call the 360 the Xbox 1.5. There is the same lack of innovation in both.

And it won't be under $200.

As with every console...

I'll wait to see more game annoucements. That's why I haven't bought the 360 yet, and looking like I never will. Nothing over-exciting to warrent an upgrade.

Wouldn't it be the Xbox 180 and not "1.5"? Your post lacks the same innovation of Sony & MS. ;)

Touche! :lol:

The Xbox would be the Xbox 180, so I think you should be calling it the Xbox 270. Don't sell MS short on their raw power.

Ahhh no. The Xbox would be the Xbox 0°, the 360° would be 180° (one half the revolution of 360°) if you think it's a half assed version. You Sir suck at geometry! ;)

I didn't realize it was geometry. Sorry! I was always better at Algebra anyway. Here I was thinking that Xbox 0 * 2 = Xbox 0 ;-)
