Arrrg! Where's Chrono Trigger!? Where's Super Mario RPG!? Where's Secret of Mana!? Where's Earthbound!?
RPG fans forsaken once again.
Oh, and a non-RPG: Where's Super Metroid!?
I hope these games are released soon. Only 2 SNES games!? WEEEEAK.
Maybe they should check out the best-selling games of all time, and try following that list:
Over 80% of households have a DVD player, and I'll bet the percentage of households with a DVD player that would consider buying a game console is even higher. Why should Nintendo add an unnecessary feature? It will only increase the cost!
The reason there will be a Japanese version with DVD is because they are very strapped for ...
I have to agree with one of the posters on that site, and say that I think the Wii will be like the DS. Everyone said the DS would just be gimmicky, but look how successful it has become. And that's even after it took a bit for the DS to really take off. I believe the same will happen here, except the Wii will be great from the start, and only get better.
OK, Matt Mathews is an idiot. This is one of the most egregious abuses of statistics (not by politicians, marketers, or the media) that I have ever seen.
He picks one example, the Dreamcast, where his prediction techniques work. What about the other systems? No mention at all, probably meaning they didn't work out so nicely.
The difference in average score between the N64 and GCN, 75% and 80%, shows that there can be very little correlation between system laun...
Hey, they've got pretty extensive technical specifications, including clock speeds! Does that make them official? I guess it's as close to official as we've gotten so far, anyway.
Wow, you can screw up your bowl enough that the ball goes into a different lane! Now that's realism.
Wow, John sure seems angry. Personally, I can't wait for Christmas to be over so a winner can be declared, and all the negativity on all sides will hopefully die down. That, and I want my frickin' Wii already ;)
Ah, this clears up something I was curious about. The Wii Remote, when being used as a pointer, doesn't point directly at the cursor because it only know the center spot of the TV. If the Remote was to actually point straight at the cursor on the TV, then it would need to know the size of the TV, and do a corner calibration. I really hope this is an option that future developers can use, and that the current setup of only using the center point is not hard-coded.
Uh oh, does Sony really want a Libel suit?
I wonder where they put the IMU? We need more close ups of the PCB!
Yeah, everybody stop overreacting to glitches in the system.
Read the begining of the article: "For the humor impaired these are written with tongue firmly in cheek so no need to bust out the pitch forks and torches if something below offends you."
That's three and a half minutes of my life I'm not getting back (I closed the video before it was finished).
Why is this thing news? It looks like these super-nerds are just recording crap in their basement.
A picture of a Wii box! My heart is aflutter.
$150 bucks for that thing!? That's enough to pimp out a Wii! Wow, just, wow.
...and a beatdown by the ten fanboys who were behind you in line.
Yeah, even if the demos are unmanned, theft still won't be a problem due to the massive crowds. Once the crowds die down after Christmas, though, the probably star tethering the Wii Remotes.
Wow, at least your places gave definite answers. Both the EB and GS here wouldn't say how many they had. In fact, the EB was acting like they had no idea about the preorder, and only knew about it from people calling and asking about it. So I avoided the stupidity at EB and went to GS at 7AM. So it was a 3 hour wait but I was the first in line. Some other people actually showed up right after I did. And at 9:30, half an hour before the opened, they sent everyone in line past the 14th p...
All of the local Gamestops/EBGames are claiming ignorance, but they said they've been getting a lot of calls about it from other nerds like me. They said they normally find out about this sort of thing in the morning. I just don't want to camp out for nothing...
If they're shipping out 4 million units and they still expect the demand to outweigh the supply, the cost is in no way too high.
Nintendo's not making a console so every stingy gamer can have one; they're making it to make money. If there are people that don't want to pay $250 for it, that's great! It means there will be more available for people like me who are willing to pay that much, because I see a great deal. And as I pointed out, there are many, many people who also t...
