Playing With Your Wii
#1
Ok now this makes me cry: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/04/27/ninten...alled-wii/ Shigeru Miyamoto was obviously on some kind of drug when naming this. For those who are lazy and dont want to read this article ^. The next gen console once called the "Revolution", is now called the "Wii"(pronounced WEE) Now hopefully this is a speaking typo of Shigeru, BUT, we cannot take that chance. Bottom line(s) "Wii" is a stupid name, the "Revolution" got our attention because it sounded cool. "Hey wanna go get a Revolution?" or "Hey wanna go get a Wii?" RETARDED! Now in Japan im sure this just sounded specatacular since Wii means nothing, but in America it sounds stupid. The name "Wii" is made to express it's unique controller, which, with the rumble pack, also looks perverted. So perverted name, perverted controller, obviously Japan is giving up on gaming. But do not let this stop you from getting your own Revolution, Nintendo is one of the only gaming companies I can trust anymore.

It's not about you or me, it's about Wii.

Honestly, when this news came out last week, I read somewhere on a news article at THG that there was a petition to bring the name back to Nintendo Revolutions. I guess wii all have to get used to the name when it's released. Smile

It's coming out this weekend.

I know my cousins will be wanting this for Christmas, no doubt. They own Game Cube, so I'll tell them at Thanksgiving that the Wii has backwards compatibility for their games.

I'm all in it about Call of Duty actually getting to perform the actions. I've played the PC versions of the CoD Series, and it was fulfilling, but with motion sensitivity; you can actually hide behind a couch (well, OK, maybe not) and re-enact the gameplay. Melee attacks, like wrestling a enemy soldier with your rifle (not gun) like a sword fight then pushing him over then hitting him with the butt of your weapon.

Driving, yeah, almost like driving a real car - well, almost, it doesn't seem to have the real definite feeling of the steering wheel going back center after one performs a turn. But then again, your character is driving the jeep avoiding enemy fire, mortar fire, and artillery fire, so it's not needed - just drive recklessly until you get to where your going without flipping out. Smile

Most likely if I were to get one, or rather, my cousins will first get it then I try it out - I'll be there at their house monthly weekly whenever I can (College work permitting) if they decide to get CoD3. Since I don't own a console, I find using the conventional controller unintuitive; now if I could just point it at the screen of where an enemy is located, like a mouse on the PC, then I'd be able to get over the controller learning curve, and just focus on turning the camera. I've played Halo 2 on an XBOX, and I just kept on dying, because the other three players were very used to the controller, and I was struggling with figuring out where I am, and trying to shoot down the other team (on another XBOX) - this was during class before Thanksgiving break, mind you. So I just gave up, and opted to just watch the action, rather than become frustrated.

Let's just hope no one gets shot over a Wii, like the Sony Playstation 3.

Haha yeah, my brother's friend kept a bullet(not a gun) with him just in case...or at least his friend told him to keep it with him.
How about a next gen line story?

My brother his friend and I drive around Destin,and Fort Walton looking for a 24 hour store that will be stocking Wii's. Walmart has at least 50 people waiting for the midnight raffle and they only have 6 Wii's coming.Best Buy is closed until 9 in the morning.
So My brother and his friend decide to go home, and drive to Best Buy in the morning around 4:00 am.
And when they get there,there's about 20 people in sleeping bags(expected) and then they forget they are only wearing t-shirts and hoodies and its about 34 degrees out(thats cold for florida) so they wait a while when my brother's friend remembers he has a trench coat in his car, so they go and huddle around that, when he remembers he also has a 20 foot kite in his car(yes a kite) so they make a dome with that,using the jackets for insulation and they are watching everyone in front of them laughing at the people coming in when the store opens, and one person even had to leave because he was so drunk(trying to stay warm i guess) and they finnally get in, get their wii's and leave. my brother hooked it up when he got home and collapsed on the ground but not until he could yell "TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!"

The end =]]
