Don't worry, if the Bison ever take over the midlands Godzilla will take care of them. Just like he did with Bambi.

Oh please, the loading screens in Psychonauts were not that bad.

They were FUCKING HORRIBLE. We spent more time in loading screens than the actual game. They're all over the fucking place! You would think something as simple as a building would load pretty fast right?

Well, I imagine the PC version is going to be better about that then the Xbox version.

If you were playing the PC version, I have no idea, but I imagine they'd take the time to tone it down.

IGN-Wii Channel Breakdown
 
Internet Channel
Go here to access the Opera internet browser. In addition to supporting flash (making this a step up from the DS browser), the browser uses the Wiimote to zoom in and out. The browser will normally cost money, but Nintendo will make it available for free download until June of 2006.


Now I know it says 2006(?) but I am in believing as I am hopefull beyond reason it means 2007.

(Q)_< Meh, they probally tried to go overboard in exchange for ungodly loading times, and is it just me or is Nintendo slightly screwing over its own country?

IGN-Wii in Japan release and price
 
September 13, 2006 - At last Nintendo fans know what they are in for in the land of the Rising Sun.

Surprisingly, Nintendo's next-gen Wii will hit North American shores before its homeland of Japan. The Wii will debut in Japan on December 2, 2006 at a price of 25,000 yen. This converts to about $213 US. However, it will not include the Wii Sports title -- this will be available for 4800 yen ($40).

Each Wii box will include: Wii console, Wiimote, Nunchaku, Wii AC adaptor, Wii A/V cable, Wii console stand, sensor bar, sensor bar stand, and 2 AA batteries.

The press conference is still going on and so far they've also revealed that additional Wii-Remote will cost 3800 yen ($32) and the Nunchuku attachment and the Virtual Console remote will be 1800 yen ($15) each. Zelda: Twilight Princess has a planned retail price of 6800 yen ($58).

They are probably delaying things for the japan release to see how badly american Wii owners scream about bugs and software glitches fix any glitches that occur

America is bigger when it comes to games these days, thus Nintendo tries sell things here first. Also it's smarter overall, Japan is their strongest area while they do need to focus on the area, putting more focus on America which they don't do as well in, is smart since they actually have stuff us Americans enjoy, unlike Microsoft who focuses on Japan but doesn't do it right what so ever.

... Nintendo doesn't DO bugs.

This is their first online system AND they have a gimicky controller.

Bugs would be my biggest concern, but I never buy a system until atleast three months after launch.

Easier to find and most of the major bugs are worked out.

Although I do concede that they have their hardware overlooks. I.E. the visibility of DS screens, or lack thereof in light.

(Q)_< Ok, the Power Glove was gimicky

The PS3 switching rumble for crap motion sensing was gimmicky

The GPS feature of the new PSP Metal Gear is the most gimmicky thing Ive ever heard of

But the Wii-mote (ok the name is an endless tide of gimmicky puns and penis jokes) was made from scratch. That means some sort of effort which means (to me atleast) it earns the NOT A GIMMICK label

Now to rant about how Europe always seems to get screwed over in the gaming world, which will be mysteriously raided by unknown covert ninja ops with SONY hats

Yes, and they obviously didn't go through alot of planning with the DS touch screen, I mean what with all the touch screens with the dead pixels and stuff. Actually thats not Sony only, but I had to toss that barb out eh. :P

Yes, like it was marked, that was a pointless barb based on common myth(well, semi-myth, theres some truth to it).
