Gameboy Micro = what were they thinking? I don't want something EASIER to break than a iPod Nano.



have you actually HELD a GB micro? they're built solid, i can assure you. nothing less than a large hammer could damage it extensively (their main body is metal). (screen's top notch too, bright and crisp)

i think wii is a great name, very original and has multiple meanings.
surely that's what nintendo were aiming for, and boy! did they succeed.
also, with such a contraversial name like wii, it's stirred up WAY more publicity for their next gen console than them keeping it called the 'revolution'.

Personally, I think that sony and microsoft are spinning themselves into a bad cycle here. Take a look at the graphics on the xbox 360, the the ps3, then the wii and compare. Wii might not have as good graphics but that is intentional, Nintendo are going for something much better, innovation and new ways to experience gaming.

What will happen in the future when microsoft and sony are bringing out their even newer ones when they think to themselves..."Hang on here, wtf can we do now since the graphics can't get any better?" Well, Nintendo have opened that door with the wii. When that time comes, the only thing Sony and Microsoft can actually do is copy Nintendo because they have jack shit creativity and we all know that. Also, ever wonder where the design for the ps2 came from? It actual came from Nintendo. One of the company designers quit his job and took the blueprints to sony and they used them! Thieving bastards. No honour...

This is why i'm buying a Wii instead of the other two systems. I love unique things, over better things.
I'm gonna go play with my Wii downstairs!

Muha, ha, ha, ha… you can kill me for reviving this long dead topic if you want, but as seeing the forums close in approximately 2 days, I didn’t think many of you would mind.

So, what do you all think of the name Wii now? I think its funny looking at how everyone hated it a few months ago.(…I realise that 90% of the people previously in this topic no longer come here…)

p.s.

please don’t kill me

I think the name 'Wii' is about as cool as getting beaten with the business-end of a porcupine. However, I think the console's concept is cool.

Its probably the best system i have ever had. And you get so into it, you can lose weight. This one guy lost 9 pounds in 6 weeks playing wii sports 30 minutes a day.

That's not surprising at all (the weight loss thing). Long have people with common sense been saying "Fad diets don't help, exercise does, and you don't even need that much exercise."

True. You just have to get your fat ass off the couch and do something.

I heard of problems with PS3 such as not having the ability to play PS2 games.

I hear the PS3 has had quite a few problems, and I’m not buying one for a while anyway. Not until developers have had time to figure out how to use the 6axis controller anyway.

Plus its not out here until the end of march, so I can buy one yet anyway.

I'm not buying a PS3 until they're cheap enough that you don't have to sell your house to be able to put one on layaway.

Every store i go to has about 3 or 4 PS3s on the shelves, and no Wiis. The score goes like this...

Wii>360>NES>PS3
