For the record, I do believe I heard somewhere the reasoning behind the name Wii. Don't hold me to this, but I believe it was along the following lines:
Wii is pronounced "we", and that Nintendo plans to have it be heavy on multiplayer gaming.
Something like that...><
I would like to point out that everytime I see psiko's avatar it makes me happy! I really liked old school Nintendo! The only problem with it is I swear the games were harder on the 8-bit then on the newer consoles. Maybe not as long but way harder!
For example I used to play Back to the Future the video game on the 8-bit and it was like impossible to beat. Also topgun was extra hard, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Kings Knight. I played those games for ever and never beat them because I'm pretty sure that they were impossible!
There it is. I don't really think that they should have changed the name. I think "Wii" should've been the code name. But this makes sense I guess.Quote:

There are so many kick ass games for the DS that are a lot better than Psp, such like Metroid, Prince of Persia and how the hell can i forget this legendary game Fire Emblem! what games do you guys think are better on the Ds than on the Psp? and oh yeah theyu are also releasing a new Zelda game and final fantasy for the Ds plus i am not totally sure if this true or just another rumour getting spread but they are supposed to be making a new Mega man for the DS as well ! i hope it is true cause Mega man kicks ass!
Here’s the thing with Nintendo’s portable systems since the release of the Game Boy line in 1989 Nintendo has been the dominant market leader portable console marketQuote:

As of June 30, 2006, approximately 21.27 million Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite units have been sold worldwide. Although reports vary, in terms of units sold worldwide the Nintendo DS platform is ahead of its main competitor, the PSP, which has shipped 20.02 million units as of July 24, 2006. 5.9 million units have been sold in the U.S. alone, and 9.24 million in Japan
People just like their Nintendo Handhelds! Sure the PSP is nice but what games are on it that you can’t play on another console? The only one I can think of is the Katamari game and they have two of those for the PS2 also their biggest success on the PSP (Grandtheft Auto Liberty Stories) Is also now available on the PS2. I see no reason to buy a PSP. However the DS has many games that are only available on the DS, with more coming out all the time.
That would be sweet to get a DS megaman! I am also looking forward to the new Zelda game, Final Fantasy III and Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime. They should be awsome!

i dont know man i thought when both the N64 and the Game cube came out on the market the were really popular consoles.It took me ages to get an N64 when it was realeased, they were really popular in Malaysia the same with the nes alot of people i know that still live there prefer to play those consoles instead of the new ones coming out now man.

This i wil agree is highly true all the actual playstation games for the ps2 are just getting redone for the Psp they are not coming up with any more new games for it which i think is a bad ideal.The Psp is a fun hand held console don't get me wrong my gf has one(dam that woman!) but i believe it would just be more enjoyable if you got new games for it instead of having to play the same game over and over again.
To true man i am totally hoping that they will be making a new megaman but i am not getting my hopes up on it just in case it doesn't happen lmfaoQuote:

Nintendo have experience behind them when making hand helds, so they know what to do, and more, what we, the consumer want.
Like a folding screen so we don't have to buy chunky cases, so our consoles don't get scrapped, and back lighting, although I think they didn't put backlighting in the GBA to boost the sales of the SP.
I well join Max.Sorry i did nto already just been so busy. I love Zelda and Nintendo. I have N64 and a gamecube.
Hey Dark One. Now I think that there WILL be a Megaman on the DS. I think it is called Megaman XD or something like that? I can't wait for the new Final Fantasy III and the new Zelda game Though I'am not too sure about Rocket Slime just yet.
EDIT: Well I found out that it is called Mega man ZX. Here is some info on it:Mega Man
oh man by the looks of it likes pretty gay like the Mega man anime lol man i was toally lookinf forward to a mega man for the Ds but maybe i will be surprised and it will be a kick ass game (lol i hope lol)Quote:

So why don't you get to a Zelda Forum? This is Final Fantasy Forum ;) Anyway, sure thing diabolos. I hope the Mega man game will be good. You can never judge a book by it's cover, right?
I can't wait for the new Zelda game too. Are you Dark One :D It looks awesome. Hopefully it will be as hard and great as its older games. Also, does anyone know about Mario Galaxy? It looks okay, but I think I want to know more about it.
can some one put me into the right about the new Zelda game. I have heard hat link actually gets kicked off in this new for the Wii and they arn't bringing him back!!!!! how shit is that!!!!! please some one tell me this is just a nasty rumour i heard lol i will try finding the link again for you guys to check it out!Quote:

I highly doubt it a) It's one of nintendo's best sellers, b) Even with this new dark slant, it's still at heart a kids game, no matter how creepy the mask guy was from MM, c) even if they did, most of the Links in the games, exist from different timelines, like the OOT and MM one is different to WW or LTTP.Quote:

I like both of those pictures of Link but I already used the second one in a sig check out link sig for rydia in the first post. I can change it if you would like though. I'll start on a sig for the other pic right as soon as I can though :)
True i highly agree with you on all those points but i saw what i saw seriously i am not making this up!I am still finding the link, it was my friend off the bluelaguna forums that showed me it once i find it i will show you guys, seriously it may just be a hoax i am not sure! But you guys really need check it out when i do find it!:shake:Quote:

Okay I finished some more sigs! If you hate them I am sorry. I tried to make them all look somewhat similar in set-up so when people see them they think "Hey that's a Nintendo Worshippers" sig. It's kind of an advertising ploy. Anyhow here they are.

I will take any suggestions or change anything you would like. I am also still working on diabalos pics
Thanks max I like mine alot. The pic came out great. 10/10 for max. O you are right they would never get zelda out of the games. I would not get A Wii if they did that.
Were going crazy with sigs!:D I liek diabolos Nintendo Gang one. Here is another one jsut for the heck of it. You don't have to do this one if you don't want to max:
Link
I can't wait for the Wii to come out. I think that most people will be heading for the Wii instead of Playstation 3 when it comes out. It just costs WAY too much. The Wii looks pretty good too. The controller/remote thingy seems better than I thought. Have any of you visited the Wii Website ?
man omega that is a sweet pic of link you found man it kicks sp much ass lol hey um max I am sorry to be a **** but um lol would you make a new Siq for me using my nintendo gang pic? if you could that would be awesome man thanks (please max lol)
I dunno if I'm welcome to give my two cents here, however, I feel that Nintendo is just trying to be more innovative (like the DS) and I think they will fail miserably. I cannot see the controller lasting long before everyone hating it and it's flaws (which it is sure to have, just like any other new innovative idea). Feel free to criticize, I'm here to listen, I really want to be convinced that it will be good because I can't see myself not getting a Nintendo system.
I just joined this club. What's up everyone. Diabolos is kick ass. Dark One is cool too. Hey to everyone.
Nintendo rocks. I can't wait for the Wii to come out. Nintendo always seems to have good prices and games.
The problem that Nintendo will have with it's controller, the DS suffers from this too, is that 3rd party creators won't now how to use it, and won't be able to do with it what Nintendo does.Quote:

But most people who get wiis and DSs are getting them for the 1st party games, and you can use a normal controller instead of the remote anyway.
Ah, perfect. Thank you, that's all I needed to hear.Quote:

nice one max! You need any help with designs i have photoshop as well on my laptop, i would give you a hand no problem man.Quote:

Yeah I agree the controller is a bit odd. I looked at it and thought wtf?? It seems like it would be great for Metroid and Zelda games, but for like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it would seem a bit out of place. If they make other versions of the controller like they did with the XBox way back(the smaller version) or something I'll get that. Maybe I should just play with a Gamecube controller, I don't know.
Anyways, how much is the Wii gonna be? I heard 200 dollars then I saw 250 dollars recently. And what date does it come out for where you live? Any ideas?
