Christ, dude, settle down. At this point it's nothing more than marketing hype. Once it gets released you can orgasm over it.

I've personally been waiting for a console that had games I could play with my girlfriend without her being insanely bored or just flat out terrible at. This looks like it could be a really fun board game replacement for when family and friends are over - something they can pick up and get the hang of easily.

Nintendo is doing the right thing by pushing video games to a non-gamer market. It is a niche they fit well in.

Sadly, I don't think this will satisfy my gamer needs, though - games like Madden and FFXIII are reasons to have to get a 2nd console.

Wow, you don't pay attention to life, do you?

Nintendo has been saying ALL ALONG that it will be graphically inferior to the other next-gen consoles, it doesn't even support resolutions higher than 480p. Did you EXPECT to be blown away by the graphics?

PS x360's games suck so far, my friend has one and the only time we ever play it is to play the old arcade games...even Madden is terrible, and Madden has been consistantly good for every system for 15 years.

aye...the graphics were subpar..adn strangely I don't give a sh!t.....

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but I saw they have a wriststrap so as to prevent something like that from happening.

Not to mention accidently whopping your partner in the head with a controller! LOL

Any discussion of specs, launch date, or price?

I know there were rumours of a $250 launch, but anything confirmed during the conference? I only caught the last 10 minutes with the tennis match.

NONE whatsoever. Launch date = last quarter of 2006. No mention of price.

Heh, that went through my mind too. Hope the wii controllers have good grip 😛

The Wii looks awesome, really wish they went with "Revolution" though, it sounds a LOT better and sounds like what they are aiming for.

I heard Q4, and I think I remember hearing November - but I could be wrong about that one, I've been up all night and things are starting to meld together.

I wasn't expecting to be blown away by the graphics. But those look eerily similar to the current Gamecube graphics. I thought they would at least make some sort of effort to revamp them.

And madden was rushed to meet the launch date of the 360. That's been known since the system launched. Where have YOU been?

Any mention of a normal controller or a cradle of some sort? Sometimes I just wnat to sit down and relax when I play a game... not be up moving around and/or waving my arms every where. And spare me any "lazy" talk, nothing wrong with wanting to relax.

I am reading tons of psots by people that own VERY nice computers....

why do you think they are interested in "this?"


it's fun dammnit, and those who saw better graphics= realism say it becasue everyone else says it.

I am simply in awe of nintendo right now


<---remembers when he got the original ninendo as a gift and started playign mario:heart:
 
I think Nintendo just won e3. Microsoft might top it with halo 3 if Master chief comes out and beats up a bunch of Sony execs.

edit I hear sony is calling an emergency press conference, they just duct taped a speaker to their controller and it's omginnovativeashell!!
