Nintendo usually gets customers because they sell their systems for less than the others, but the Wii is going to be upwards of $425.
279Ness 04-28-2006, 11:37 PM No
They announced Wii should be around less than $200
Where the heck do u get ur info?
The price translated from Japenese Yen was around $425, and yes, I know that the price goes down a lot, but it doesn't get cut in HALF.
279Ness 04-28-2006, 11:40 PM kk
whatever then
It's not that I have much against nintendo, I just think a lot about the sstem is a stupid idea. Two of my friends who have been with nintendo since the SNES don't like the revo...er...Wii, one of them is getting a 360 and the other is getting a PS3.
no it's confirmed to be around $200 so that it's cheaper than the competition by a lot, the name sucks they should have stuck to revolution, the system doesn't suck it has great games it's a great system and it's going to have metroid prime 3 and maybe super smash brothers 3 as a realese title. Plus the downloads of all the vintage games and a sequal to some of them.
Xbox 360 will be the next dreamcast!
Ryu-Nacho 04-29-2006, 06:08 PM No...Dreamcast was actually good, where as the 360 sucks.
Zetex 04-29-2006, 06:11 PM Id rather get a 360 because its the same price and it looks better, has better graphics, has better games, has better controllers, has better everything
Ryu-Nacho 04-29-2006, 06:14 PM PS3>Wii>N64>Dreamcast>*so on and so forth*...>XBOX/360.
Ok, that may be a slight exaggeration. But it's close enough.
Id rather get a 360 because its the same price and it looks better, has better graphics, has better games, has better controllers, has better everything
better graphics yes, better games that's a matter of opinion, better controllers you need double A battries for it it's like the nintendo 64 rumble pack you need to keep buying batteries because they go flat so easy and quickly it's just stupid to use batteries, better everything No
And 360 is like $400 twice the price of the wii.
I call the 360 dreamcast 2 becasue they both came out first and well the dreamcast was a flop and that's what I'm prediciting to happen to the 360 and when it happens nintendo will get RARE back yay! and we'll get good donkey kong games and Banjo Kazooie and Conker. I'm also predicting that the wii will do better than the gamecube.
Zetex 04-29-2006, 06:54 PM the wii is around $420 i thought?
nope around $200 - $250 max
PS2/3/PSP=Xbox360/Xbox>DS/Wii/gamecube
Heyyou27 04-29-2006, 08:18 PM PC > all
Ryu-Nacho 04-29-2006, 08:19 PM Thanks for bringing that up. PC will always own any console.
I would agree with that if it had more of the type of games I liked, but yes, PC owns in graphics, speed, and it has roller coaster tycoon, you have to love roller coaster tycoon.
Ryu-Nacho 04-29-2006, 09:19 PM I dunno. If you can remove parts of the track while people are riding the coaster, then yes.

bfchickenchaser 04-29-2006, 10:59 PM I have been a hardcore nintendo fan since super nintendo...i had an N64 the day it came out, i waited in line in the freezing cold from 2a.m. to 8a.m. to get my gamecube and i told all my friends they were stupid for buying xboxes. I love nintendo but based on it's success in it's previous generation of systems (it was far less popular than PS2 and Xbox.) and i hope that Nintendo has some tricks up it's sleeve because I honestly don't think Nintendo will survive (I love my ds tho!)
All hail PS3!
Heyyou27 04-29-2006, 11:01 PM All hail PS3!
The most over hyped console since the PS2.
PC still > all
PC > Wii > NDS > 360 > PS3 > PSP
The DS is better than the PS3 and 360?
279Ness 04-29-2006, 11:25 PM The DS is better than the PS3 and 360?
yup
Wtf was up with the touch screen? That was a very stupid idea.

Touch screen is a good idea in general, for a videogame console not so much.
Zetex 04-30-2006, 12:44 AM I had a touchscreen mp3 player and it was okay, but it got so dirty so easily.
Ryu-Nacho 04-30-2006, 01:15 AM Nintencats! Sequel to Nintendogs!
Call your cat's name, only to have in blatantly ignore you!
Use the touch screen to clean the litter box!
Try to pet the cat! It won't hur...AHHH! MY EYES!
Roll a ball of yarn across the floor! Watch the cat sleep while you do!
...
Sorry, I don't like the DS. :P
The DS is better than the PS3 and 360?
In my opinion

no it's not it's different it's interactive and if you have ever played one you would know how most games use it to make things more fun.

The Wii will do alot better with NES,SNES & N64 downloads, Gamecube backwards compatability, online, Smash brothers and metroid as release titles it will be THE best system.
PS3 has a boomerang controller, people think the wiimotes are uncofterable look at the PS3 boomerangs, and plus Playstations have like one new feature everytime, same old boring games, so what the graphics get a little better I would prefer Gameplay to Graphics
PC > NES > SNES > N64 > NDS> GCN> GB/A > Xbox 360 > PS3 > PSP
Firedove 04-30-2006, 10:08 AM I think the names stupid

Actually I had one for about a year with 8 games, I traded it in because every game got boring and repetitive. Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime, and Nintendogs, the so called "hits" were some of the worst games I have played, the only good games they had were Sims: Da urbz (Suprisingly fun), and Need for speed: most wanted (The PSP version of need for speed is much better though).

I think the games are fun, it's all a matter of opinion and because Nintendo is the world's leader in handheld games look's like we know what most peoples opinion is ;)
I think the names stupid
only an idiot would judge an entire system by it's name
Frookie 05-02-2006, 05:13 PM whoever thought of the name wii should be fired, it's the stupidest name out there, the site isn't wii, it's revolution, and if the site name doesn't match the console name, then you're screwed up in the head

The name Wii attracts non gamers, the downloads attract retro gamers, the games attract nintendo gamers and the console in general despite it's name attracts REAL gamers.
Don't pretend the name's good, it sucks.
MrNaPaLm32 05-03-2006, 09:35 PM I hate the same so much we should drop another Nagasaki bomb.
==============================

Ravin 05-03-2006, 11:34 PM Well everyone, I'm going to go play with my wii now.
Don't pretend the name's good, it sucks.
in your opinion you do not represent everyone in the world
Well everyone, I'm going to go play with my wii now.
The Wii won't be released until november and last I checked it's may

I don't think you get it.
bassman420 05-04-2006, 04:40 PM OMG someone by that Noob a Playboy so he can play with his Wii
Ryu-Nacho 05-04-2006, 04:46 PM Ahhhhh, Playboy. I've been reading that for...um...I think it's been twelve years now. I can't remember exactly.
*Strays back on topic*
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
Ryu-Nacho 05-04-2006, 05:24 PM Yeah. My parents encouraged that kind of behavior. I was more than happy to comply.
MrNaPaLm32 05-04-2006, 08:43 PM thats probably why you have a "boobies" avatar isnt it.
Ryu-Nacho 05-04-2006, 08:47 PM The world may never know.
diet poop 05-04-2006, 10:00 PM heh, every time someone mentions boobies I think of your avatar, and it makes me giggle.
I don't think you get it.
I get, it's not funny it's immature and stupid like you people's response to the name it's wii = we not wii = wee
Playboy let's see I'm 13 so I have been "reading" it for about 2-3 years now.
279Ness 05-08-2006, 12:38 AM ...how do you guys even get Playboy?
And why do you get it?
It's not the real thing! They wear make-up and oil and crap to make you atracted when really the girls are young ugly sleuts
...how do you guys even get Playboy?

bfchickenchaser 05-16-2006, 08:59 PM Red Steel (http://www.e3insider.com/products/?productID=OQBLFOHNC0) <---The reason i'm buying a wii. (watch the trailer)
BlueEdge 05-20-2006, 11:53 AM Everyone knows Nintendo 64 > everything...just watch this: http://gprime.net/video.php/nintendosixtyfooour
Watch the raw emotion.
Heyyou27 05-20-2006, 11:54 AM That's scary.
The Wii is really cool! A whole lot better than the PS3 and Xbox 360!
bfchickenchaser 06-04-2006, 12:24 AM The Wii is really cool! A whole lot better than the PS3 and Xbox 360!
That really is a matter of opinion. And i don't think you're really justified to make any judgements of the systems til you play them. Only the peeps at e3 (oh i envy them so much) can say what's gonna rape next gen
I do think that the wii will be FUN and everything else will have super graphics and better online capabilities (but wii is always online?)
I don't know how i feel about having my wii online at all times. XD
Frookie 06-04-2006, 10:29 AM I already have enough saved up to buy a Wii since it's going to be > 400 bucks, unless they change the price
I don't think so. In Britain it's gonna be about £150. That's about $270.
