You do know the Wii 1 was backwards compatible with the gamecube right? If so what are you talking about. If not, I'm going to look at you with the "are you a wizard" face.mighty_wambat said:
New Nintendo Console "Confirmed" for E3

Not a new console generation. Nintendo is just choosing to enter THIS console generation. Allow me to be the first person to welcome Nintendo to 2006!Innegativeion said:
The Gamecube had a good run I guess. Although after they started packaging it with shitty motion controls I lost interest.
I would consider the console that raked in more profit than both the 360 and PS3, opened the floodgates for motion control (good or bad for gaming, kinect has made good use of it in other fields, and never would have opted for it if it wasn't competing with nintendo), shared many features with the new gen consoles like crappy internet browsers to be a part of said generation.Xanthious said:
Stronger than the PS3 or Xbox?
No one says you're crazy, Nintendo.
But I sure am thinking it loudly.

My Dreamcast and PS2 had a shitty web browser too once upon a time. . . .Outside of a highly overrated gimmick the Wii was nothing more than a sad piece of almost decade old hardware that catered to the lowest common denominator.Innegativeion said:
Sure it competed financially with the current gen consoles but only by catering to the lowest common denominator errrrr the "casual market". Kinda in the same way Farmville will be competing with Portal 2.
Please don't cause the other companies to release a console! The Wii could use some improvements, but the graphical capabilities of the current generation is already putting enough strain on developers in terms of financing. Seriously, I know graphics can look better, but... do they need to?
meh, if ive learned anything, its not to trust the eastern games industry.
i guess i might get to have a look at the eurogamer expo later this year.

If you continued to read what I had written, I based that on sales numbers and profitability. Meaning that since day one, Nintendo has sold Wii's at a profit and they have outsold the other two consoles. There is nothing really subjective about my statement in the context that I put it in.BlacklightVirus said:
While I agree that the motion controls aren't perfect, the Wii had a good amount of games that are in fact great with the motion controls. Once again, this points to a company investing time and resources into a product that isnt' meant to just be on the top selling system of the generation. I mostly agree with Yahtzee, I find most games aren't as responsive as I would like them to be regardless. I come from the PC gamer area, and the response of PC controls tends to completely destroy anything on a console anyway.BlacklightVirus said:
You know, I'm old enough to remember the days of the SNES hard drive and CD-ROM, not to mention the Virtual Boy. So I'll take that "significantly more powerful than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360" statement with a grain of salt.
Not that it matters to me one way or the other, the NES was the last Nintendo console I've ever really cared for... though I´ll admit I really like playing bowling and Boom Blox on the Wii.

Considering how so many people are acting as if this is true, I'm going to laugh so hard if this turns out to be a false rumour.
