Console War

Thursday, November 02, 2006

The Wii console Nintendo promotes aims at the word "interactivity", also the meaning of wii is W = with, I and I, person + person become people, signifying that this console is for everybody to enjoy and play same time.

While Sony and Microsoft define next-gen console to be the High Definition graphics, Nintendo thought to proceed on developing the "game plays" rather than improving their graphics. Well, Nintendo would be dead meat if they decided to go for graphic in next gen console ha. One reason is that graphic is never an advantage of nintendo style game, and also the graphic that Microsoft and Sony presented is like, beyond what Nintendo could do. Also I don't think Nintendo has that much money to throw in water haha.




That is the advertisment Nintendo showed in the E3 conference. It shows of how people play Wii. Nintendo jumped out of traditional way 1 hand controller, and seperated into 2 hand held controllers. Not only this, the controllers are motion sensitive. Referring to the video, you notice how ppl play golf game? it no more has power gauge that player needs to choose for the strength of the swings, but you just simply swing your wii controller, and the strength of the swing is depended on player's speed of his swing. Its pretty cool to play game this way. Suits its title of revolution no doubt.




See, twist around ur wrist to play. Below is the analog you held in left hand, for controlling character movement, check. And one on right is front and side view for Wii remote, its can work as traditional game if you hold it side by side and the click at behind is for fps games








But! if you playing rpg game like dragon quest : sword and magic, and you are trying to lv up your character... do you have to swing for 3-5 hrs? that would suck very bad!

Well, wutever! Its only 280 Canadian! so cheap! go buy one!

Being a tester during the summer, I believe the Wii has great potentials, sure it doesnt have the high end graphics like PS3 however it goes back to the fundementals of games, which is interactivity and game play. From experience, I can say at first it took a bit of time to get used to the Wii controller, but once u get goin, man, it's so fun. I think what is gonna make the Wii work, is the ganes, a good design game on the Wii, might be the funniest game u play, at the same time, a bad design, might be livin hell for your hands. Wii comes out Nov 19th, go Wii!!!........... BTW, the console battle, is goin to be between Wii and PS3, that X-Box 1.5 crap has no good point.

well, xbox 360 does has its main focus, just it is going to get owned by Ps3.

And yes, Wii is realy fun. My friend just bought the console today and tried when he got home. He said it is funner than he thought. For a person who doens't realy play game (he bought wii cuz its system outlook, and its creative play ways, but he doesn't realy play game) to play wii and considering to try some other wii games, though it is just an individual case... I would still say Nintendo done neat job grabbing light users into games.
