TC is finally working again?
I don't quite understand what the gameplay is going to be, but it has four parts, for REs 1, 2, 3, and 4 (or at least parts of each? I'm not sure), and in each part you can play as both of that game's characters... there were some more details, but I don't remember them... I just wasn't quite sure how that'd all work... it does have wiimote control of the aiming cursor though, of course (oh, and supposedly you do need to conserve ammo again, like the older games?)...
Wiisports is so simplistic that I have no interest in it and am not happy to be spending extra for them to pack in a game I don't want...
Yeah, a lot of games definitely seem to have gotten graphical upgrades, quite nice...
It can display (and edit I think?) pictures and has other media functions too... Nintendo has given up the "games only" thing, obviously.
I want the black one, but with a white controller... :)
I bet composite only for the cable that comes with it. As for the controller, a X360 wireless controller is $70 plus tax (controller is $50, play-and-charge kit $20)... this is $60, plus whatever a rechargable pack is for a bit more, so it's probably even more expensive, but MS set the precedent, so why not copy them? Annoying... :(
As for VC prices, as expected they are overpriced. $5 for NES games? Okay for some games, but not all of them that's for sure... same for SNES ($8? Yeah right! While some are worth that price, like most of the RPGs and stuff, most shouldn't be anything above $5...) and N64 (if $10 sounds decent, you haven't looked at used N64 game prices... at least around here, they've dropped down to NES/SNES levels this past year or so.)... I knew this would happen, but still it's absurd. Game collection with like 20 old games for $20 to $30, or buy each one separately for ten times more?
Quote:Resident Evil:: Umbrella Chronicals looks weird. The video shows the original mansion but with things blowing up, and it looks real time. So it's either a tech demo to show that Wii can output real time graphics that look like the FMV backgrounds from REbirth or one of the locations in Umbrella Chronicles happens in the mansion, again using real time graphics. Of course, the mansion done blow'd up in the first game, so could this be before RE Zero?

Quote:250 with a wireless controller and attachment, pack in with 5 multiplayer games and a next gen system that boasts graphics as nice as the big boys! atleast in Zelda anyway

Quote:MP3 looks much better, the graphics already got a few steps up, hopefully it'll hit around February

Quote:I cannot believe the Wii Channel rumor is true, it was a rumor months ago that Wii will act like a TV channel where you get news, browse the internet, send and recieve emails, play games and watch movies. Or make your own damn movies! I never thought a video game console would come with Photoshop and a video editor! And top it all off with the rumor of Orlando getting a wi-fi base so everyone can use it for free and hell i'd only need a computer for work.

Quote:going with white as a standard was the best choice, the black one looked like a PS2 with a freaky blue light. The white one looks like futuristic electronic goodness... that might also be a toaster.

Quote:The 60 bucks for a controller threw me, I never expected that. But i'm glad to know that alot of games dont even use it, like Sonic. 50 bucks for a game, we knew that. 250 for the system meets the enitial expectation when Nintendo said it'll be under 250 (249.99 ) and the pack in sweetens the deal, I think it has the airplane simulator on it as well though there's some confusion about that. 10 bucks for an N64 game is spot on, that's how much they are at used game stores somtimes alot more. IGN says it comes with 'cables' but wont specify what kind of cables, i'm hoping for component, though i'll probably buy the DVI/HDMI cable at launch anyway. I dont want to play Zelda any other way.
