On the topic of Dead Rising, I am estatic about it. This was the only title I truly was jealous of and pondering getting a xb360 for. Glad I sat out, as my patience apparently is going to pay off. =)

Hear hear. After my PC was upgraded, I still looked at Dead Rising and felt sad. The hole in my heart has now healed.

btw bardic, You were right about xmote clone. Even Reggie was paranoid

 

Yah I thought it was pretty funny. I can totaly be aboard with the idea that there WILL be motion controls for next gen for all systems, I just cant forsee it happening for the current gen. It takes a long time to cut through the legal BS. In a way its kind of sad, how patents prevent so much stuff from being developed.

 True, and im all for supporting companies that need to make profit and survive. MS / Sony, no sympathy. I just don't want to see Nintendo dissapear like all the rest.

 



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Going into this gen, I had my doubts as well, especially since they were showing games like Wii sports, which was like 3 steps backwards in graphics. It confused me, because even the GC had games with better graphics than Wii Sports. It wasnt until I saw RE 4 that my doubt was cast aside. I really thought the Wii might be Nintendo's swan song at E3 2006.

Now, I don't think Nintendo's going to be in any trouble for quite a while. The public has gotten to know the Wii to a level uncommon to the industry, and their fanbase grew expontentially from expanding the market.

If I had to speculate, I'd expect the next Nintendo home console to support HD, as by 2010/2012 it will be more commonplace, put in a graphics chip comparable to the XB360 chip, and maybe even have a separate PPU (Physics Processor unit). As for media, who knows, but I think that digital distribution might not be far off.

 



Play Godfather Wii. Good motion beat em ups can be had with out the motion plus accessory.

Sweet.  I already have it on 360, but have a few friends that only have a Wii, and they love this game.  They will be happy to hear this.
