An admittedly conclusive roundup of the next-gen fight, but it all seems a little from an established 360 fan's perspective. Notmeaning to sound like a fanboy, but the wii gets a seriously tough rap.
I'm sorry, but I just can't agree with anyone who writes off the new controllers so fast. Admittedly, I can't see many developers taking full advantage of the PS3 controller's motion sensing abilities, but then it strikes me as a rushed feature. The wii design is more single minded, and that's why I think it will be successful. The only things that ever bring me back to arcades was the different controls, especially light guns. I know that these are available for consoles, but the thought of ...
Good news I suppose, but shame on Joystiq for their letting the hype build before making that announcement. I should know, I was up till 5 in the morning for that. My fault for being a stupid fanboy...
Back to the news, this leads me to hope for an October launch in the UK, it'll be wierd to get a Nintendo product in Europe without having to wait 6 months after the US.
I don't know if it should be free. A lot of the games to go on the Virtual console are games that spent a lot of time and money to make, especially in the N64 era, and with the relative lack of success of that console I wouldn't mind paying a couple of quid for a quality game. Plus I'm fairly new to Nintendo, love them so far, and I want to catch up on the classics I've missed, while giving a little love-money back to the Big N.
Brilliant! I've never joined any game site forums before precisely because of the total immaturity of many members. Now I don't feel like the only sane one.
A novel system, but seems badly researched to me. There's some odd opinions about certain nintendo launch games too. Both playstations may be attractive prospects, but their downsides are a bit glossed over.
