I'm sure it will grow on me over time and all, but you have to admit that the name is rather off. I also see some problmes with this coming up here's an example.

Middle age mother taht knows nothing of Video games: "Hello, sir I'm looking for a "why"?
Smart ass clerk at electronics store:" A why? A why for what? Life? aren't we all?"

Also I think the use of a subjective personal pronoun is a little odd and may just sound awkward using it as an object and such.

Post by: Jack Dandy on April 29, 2006, 11:46:04 am: I just have to say so what if the changed the name it will still be the revolution to us and we will still get to check out all the other games it still should be fun. I mean come on its only a name.
Title: Re: Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii.
Post by: Prox on April 29, 2006, 04:08:50 pm: The name is a little bit irregular, true, but it's nothing to get worked up about.
Even with the new name, I won't buy it and I don't care about it.
Title: Re: Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii.
Post by: Joefus on April 29, 2006, 10:05:30 pm: I'm just gonna keep on calling it the Revolution. But the moment they start calling the games things like "Super Mario Wii" and "Wii Metroid" is when I'm done.

Post by: FyberOptic on May 25, 2006, 12:20:14 am: http://nrevolutiona.blogspot.com/2006/02/revolution-microphone.html

Somebody poked around at the Wii patents and found that the controller might have a microphone too. Which makes sense really, since the DS does too.
Title: Re: Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii.
Post by: MDude on May 25, 2006, 06:18:52 am: Then it turns out there's a DS cartridge that adds a motion sensing device, and you can use the DS as a Wii Remote. That would be even better than the GBA-Gamecube thing, in my opinion.

Post by: where_my_metroids? on July 08, 2006, 01:44:28 pm: I think that the controller / remote thingy doesn't seem like a good idea though... mainly because, well, do you know how long a wireless controller lasts? It is also a way for nintendo to make us buy even more things, because it might even have it's own kind of battery (stupid nintendo, inventing the Gameboy Advance SP battery... >:()
Title: Re: Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii.
Post by: FyberOptic on July 09, 2006, 11:09:37 am: The GBA SP battery is one of the better ideas Nintendo has ever come up with. The biggest thing I hated about my older Gameboy was replacing the batteries, because I couldn't really afford to pop in a new pack every week or so. I just charge the GBA and I'm good to go. And for someone who plays a lot, they can just pick up a second battery pack and swap'em out.

As for "how long a wireless controller lasts", I dunno if you mean physically, or battery-wise.

Post by: Shadow on July 09, 2006, 12:21:19 pm: Wow I don't belive that they arent making RE 5 for the Wii, instead they are making it for the god damn PS3, which is normal, but also for the crap box of a console Xbox 360. *insert Darth Vader 'NOOOOOOOOOOO' here* Damn you Capcom!
Title: Re: Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii.
Post by: ecto on July 10, 2006, 03:23:30 am: Fans will show Capcom the error of their ways. Wait a few months and i'm sure that RE5 will have a better version on the Wii. Remember how long it took for them to put RE4 on the playstation.
Title: Re: Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii.
Post by: Bluejay on July 10, 2006, 09:31:54 am: The only reason the PS2 port took so long was because Nintendo had a contract with Capcom that they would get 4 exclusive games, three of which were orriginally RE games (Remake, 0, and 4) but Capcom gave them something else so they could get out of contract and were able to put RE4 on the PS2 as well.
Title: Re: Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii.
Post by: Shadow on July 10, 2006, 04:36:02 pm: PS2 also got more rewards then the Gamecube. lets compare

GC: Tommy gun with infinate ammo, rocket launcher with infinate ammo, Leon S.T.A.R.S costume, Ashley whore costume, bonus mission
PS2: Same 2 weapons above, a LASER, a new bonus mission, Leon gets Italin suit w/ taunt, Ashley gets a suit of damn armor that makes her invincable and unable to be picked up
Title: Re: Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii.
Post by: Bluejay on July 12, 2006, 03:37:32 pm: Personally I don't really care about these little extras, it's a great game, and a lot of fun, I've played both versions.... I like the GC one better, no loading.

If one of you guys has a digital camera and can take a picture of the teevee while Fybertech's main page is loaded, I'd be curious to see how it looks!

Also I hear you can watch Youtube videos on it. Suddenly the Wii is even more useful.

I have no camera to take such a picture, but fybertech looked like normal and worked fine, only problem might be that text is so small almost impossible to read. Also yeah I watched some youtube videos, but tried to watch something subtitled and it was impossible to read. I tried some other streaming video sites like Toonmai jetstream and adult swim fix and neither of them worked at all. 4chan worked which means no parental controls yet.

Now I can totally watch Magiranger vs. Dekaranger on my TV and see Houka-chan like some real japanese person watching her on television.

Post by: FyberOptic on May 09, 2007, 10:41:52 am: Apparently Google's starting to get on board, and have made a compatible version of Google Reader for the Wii (http://googlereader.blogspot.com/2007/05/feed-your-television.html).

For anyone that doesn't know what Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader) is, it's basically a fancy webpage-based RSS feed reader. RSS feeds are handy for seeing what's new on various websites (particularly news sites) without having to visit them regularly. You just get the headlines (and maybe brief description) delivered to you. Something nice about Google's version though is that they have many feeds already available that you can pick; you can subscribe to the current top Youtube videos, for example.

Desktop version of Opera has an RSS reader built-in btw.
