All I can say, is that screw the High Def Era. This looks like pure fun!

How many GHz is pure fun? I\'m skeptical.
Actually, I don\'t know what I\'m talking about.
-
no, playing "tennis" like that won\'t make your arm sore
-
after playing 360 in HI-def no way can I ever go back to SD resolution. Then again I hail from the pc world where all games are hi-def.
Seriously it would only have cost Nintendo a little more per chip to include more transistors to output in hi res, that a little more ram. What was Nintendo thinking not future proofing there system, the initial investment for them would have payed off in the long run big time.
-
Not sure about that. If that upgrade made Wii cost $300 or $250 it would have been a stupid idea. It wouldnt have paid off in the long run because the consumer would have made more direct comparisons between a $250-$300 Wii and a $300 360 and most likely 360 would have been the prefered choice.

nintendo is trying to prove that innovation can outdo pure muscle, and right now, I\'m with them... which is a far cry from say 2 months ago.
-
I\'m still waiting to get hands on before I decide.
I can see it being extremely accurate, and therefore really fun to play. I can also see it being \'overly generous\' - so that your motion just sets off close approximation and a randomizer decides (strike, hit, foul, etc), which I wouldn\'t like.
I\'m hoping for the best, but prepared for dissapointment, since there are only a few games thus far that interest me.

Just because your a gamer doesnt mean you have to sound dorky lol
Videogames for me are a relaxing pastime/hobby whatever you want to call it. Having to stand up to enjoy a game is a minus for me. I like to sit back and relax as I play videogames. Just me, though.
Also, if I\'m going to get up and swing the controller like a bat or racket I might as well go outside and do the real thing. I\'m only looking forward to using the remote on games like Zelda, Stars Wars or Mario, games that allow you to do things you can\'t do in real life. I can go outside and swing a bat or go down the street and bowl, but I can\'t have a lightsaber duel or shoot an arrow at a flying dinosaur while on horseback outside lol
I\'ll get Wii around the first price drop
-
There have been people, I read, who would serve an imaginary ball with their left hand to hit it with the remote in their right hand.
And that worked in the game.
As for the accuracy, it looks like it depends on the developer. It sounds like baseball is very forgiving, but tennis senses a lot of accuracy, picking up the exact angle of impact and adjusting the ball\'s trajectory.
Same with bowling, the developer said some people could get into a groove, but no one who had play tested had yet scored a perfect game.

It\'s a nice little presentation of what you can do with the Wii-mote, but the constant giggling and cheering from the players is a little over the top! Then again, maybe I\'ll giggle like a schoolgirl too when I first fire up Wii Sports!
-
you better not!

yes because I have a tennis court and bowling alley in my backyard.
:rolleyes:
-
i bet you have both within a short driving distance.
-
Or better, if you want excersize, walking distance.

That giggling is probably a combination of those people having fun and those people having nervous laughter from being isolated in a weird clean room and video taped.

That\'s the multiplayer trailer everybody\'s raving about? Mother Christ.
It wouldn\'t be so bad if the game didn\'t look N64-like in terms of multiplayer gameplay.
Or framerate.
-
Unicorn it\'s my understanding that nintendo sells it\'s consoles without a loss. How about they add hi-def and still sell it at it current price. SD resolution seems to worsen when upscaled to HD(flaws revealed), I know this after hooking my PS2 up to my New TV, and no i have 2 scalers. 1 internal the other external.
Anyhow I figure most of nintendo\'s market share are aged in the lower bracket so thet could give a hoots about HD anyways.
nintendo is trying to prove that innovation can outdo pure muscle
Granted pure muscle is only one half of the equation, even so I am tired of playing there 16 bit colored games exclusively, it would be nice to see mario in HD, i don\'t care that the wii is inferior graphically, I just wanna see it\'s output as a clean/sharp image.
-
I also can\'t imagine today\'s teens (or young adults) who are far to \'meh\' to act like that thinking that the above commercial is cool. Only children get that excited while playing games (without alcohol).
They should have done it with younger players or made it look... just cooler, and less lame.
-
Or kept the same age group and added alcohol
-
The Wii is going to be a MASSIVE success. Watch.
-
nobody is saying it won\'t

This game will bring non-gamers like my parents into the realm of video gaming. It seems that some of the games are intuitive enough that even my 67 year dad can finally play a tennis video game (he used to play tennis for enjoyment).
However....add some beer and believe me, there will be some broken eye sockets, borken noses and chipped teeth as a result of all that swinging around.
-
I can\'t wait to try it. I almost wish we had a tv in the office. I think everyone would like to take a break to play some tennis!
-
The fact that my father has heard of the Wii is incredible to me. When I was living with my parents he had just stopped calling all game systems Nintendo and started calling them all Playstation. He knows NOTHING about games and the fact that he has not only heard of the Wii but knows some things about it blows my mind.
-
It was all over South Park last night...
Where did your dad hear about it?
-
any any news channel?

Sweet. Now I can make up with my enemies, invite them over for some beer and video games, and punch em right in the face!

Knowing my father it was probably something like CNBC or CSPAN.
