[QUOTE="fon1988"] [QUOTE="bror_jace"]Heres the deal, recently played Bioshock a little bit and think its awesome. Made me think...Nintendo has revamped the gameboy several times and even the DS got a remake after just one year or something. We can safely say that DS lite is totally superior to the Phat,no one complained,everyone got one. The Wii has proven itself to be a winner as well,but for how long? Art direction has its limits without technology, and no matter how much they try, the gap between Wii and 360 is gonna be more evident as time passes by,I mean look at Endless ocean for example. Its a game mostly based on graphical enjoyment,yet it looks like CRAP. The only thing the Wii needs is more power. Nintendo has the upper hand at this moment,but if they dont realize that the clock is ticking until the "new audience" they just won start to realize that games look a million times better in other consoles,theyre screwed. The motion sensing amusement is not gonna last forever,and since Nintendo is pocket-full with $ and probably their pockets will explode with games like Brawl, why not come up with a little tune up for the Wii? I can envision a Wii that runs 720p. Same console,just more horsepower. Ok,ok, a lot of people will be pissed off cuz they have to change to the newer version eventually,but people with Wiis can get a trade promotion for the Wii elite. If i were in Iwata´s position, i wouldnt think twice on it. That way they would EXTERMINATE competition. When a console is successful, people is willing to buy anything they throw at them,PS2 slim great example. What do you think?L00pey
TC, I can't believe you said Endless Ocean looks like crap. You must be blind, or just in denial that Wii is improving on gameplay and graphics and is the best selling system on the market. I own both Xbox360 and the Wii and with the first batch of Wii games such as Zelda, Red Steel, Excite Truck andSonic, they looked as though they could easily be played on the last gen consoles. Games such as Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Galaxy, Endless Ocean and Metroid have already proven that the Wii is more than capable of improved graphics.
So for people who say that the Wii is nothing but a Gamecube with different controls can finally shut up. Saying Endless Ocean looks like crap isn't an opinion, it's an ignorant statment. I've played Bioshock, Gears of War and countless other 360 games so I know what Im talking about. I've also played Metroid and have seen loads of gameplay videos for Brawl, Galaxy and Endless Ocean and I know the graphics look amazing. Mario Galaxy looks suprisingly close to anything found on the 360 and thats a fact.
Now as for the rest of your post, saying that the motion sensing "amusement" wont last forever is a blind statement because obvioulsy it's done a great job so far. People made the exact same assumption with the DS, saying that the touch screen will be old news soon, but guess what, its the top selling game deck in the world right now. The Wii looks as though it's going down that exact same path. And you must be ignorant but they never have "revamped" a gameboy for more power. There was the original Gameboy, big and bulky. So they decided to make the Gameboy Pocket. Then after that, they made the gameboy color. Still no more power than before. Next game the Gameboy Advance, a compleltly NEW system with upgrades. Then they made the SP with a better design and a lighted screen, nope don't see anymore power here. Then they made the DS with a similar design to the SP, just bigger with two screens. They wanted a slimmer and better design so now we have the DS lite. Not one of these gameboys has ever acquired more "power" than it's previous one. They made a new, seperate system with upgrades, just like they did with consoles.
And finally, it's sad to see that gamers like you are more worried about the way their games look than how they play. The game Elebits looks like a gamecube game, yet it's one of my favorite games I've played in a long time, why? Because it was just plain fun. Why aren't games about fun anymore? You take a look at the 360, a console with mainly shooters, sports and racing games and see the games look amazing so you buy it. Instead of looking at what the Wii has to offer, you look at the graphics and assume the 360 is the better deal. It's people like you and so many other gamers that are ruining the industry. I barely ever touch my 360 because theres just not that much going for it. You have your new first person shooter, sports and racing title that plays so much like the other countless first person shooters, sports and racing games on the system and you blindly go out and buy it because the graphics looked cool.
Oh and I doubt Nintendo would pull such an ignorant stunt and produce a Wii-Elite and piss off the millions of old and new gamers that invested into their system. The DS came out and shortly after, here comes the DS-lite. It looks cooler yeah, but I own a DS regular and I would never trade it in for a lite, simply because it's the same system, just smaller and cooler looking. And you use an "oh so fine"(sarcasm) example there too. You talk about Nintendo revamping the Wii with more horse power so that their games would look nicer, but yet you mention the PS2 Slim. Anyone that owns a normal PS2, NEVER need to buy a slim. The Slim just looks cooler and is more compact and includes a built in LAN connector.
If you have any questions or comments please tell me because I'd love to hear them.
