Well, yes and no Iastreb.  Twilight Princess will be released on the Gamecube.  But it will have special features when played with the Wii.  An example of this is the Oracle Series.  If you played them on the Game Boy Advance, you unlocked a secret store.

Whats on Wii Sports?
Title: Re:Nintendo Wii(Formally know as the Revolution)
Post by: alical on June 23, 2006, 07:50:56 AM
Baseball, golf, tennis and some others.
In baseball you swing the wii controller (called the Wii remote) to hit the ball, and in tennis the wii remote is your racket!

the wii will not have good graphics, well, the best graphics. But the games will kick the asses of the PS3 and the 360.

I don't think you can play basket ball. It is only sports that Nintendo want that can use the wii remote. I don't think Basketball would work...

Why did they change the name to Wii?

Somebody there thought it would be a good idea.

one reporter asked the Sony company: why do we have to buy a PS3, when we can buy a Wii and a XBox 360 tgether on the same prize of the PS3? The Wii will be a dream come to reality, something beatiful for all gamers... Nintendo Wii, 20 years of games in one console.... my coment to all this: WOW ;D
Title: Re:Nintendo Wii(Formally know as the Revolution)
Post by: JDog on June 23, 2006, 12:54:16 PM
Then the PS3 must be like $800 if the Wii is $300 and the Xbox 360 is like $500, and we can get the same games and more for a cheeper price, is that what this is saying?
Title: Re:Nintendo Wii(Formally know as the Revolution)
Post by: Gamefreak on June 23, 2006, 02:26:48 PM
You need to keep up with news JDog.  The PS3 has two versions available.  There will be a 500gb version which is a basically stripeed down version of the system.  And a 600gb version which will have all of the special features on it.  

On another note.  Nintendo has said that the Wii will cost less than the 360, which is currently priced at 400 dollars.  Knowing Nintendo, it will probably be about 300 dollars.

Also, the Wii Controller will have a speaker of its own inside it. That way when you use the clawshot, you can hear the echos off to the side. Yoyu aim with it and everything! Its SOOOOOOOOO going to rock. However... For some of the old school gamers like myself. The controller will have certain.. difficulties. Thats why they made a second Wii controller. Its like a watered down version of the origional. here is a pic. http://www.planetgamecube.com/media/2533/1/22060.jpg

1.They probably wanted it to sound more Japanese
2.Some believe that Revolution was just a codename

The wii remote can also be attached to the nunchuck controller which you can spin to do the sword spin  and move Link with the analogue stick. I think the old style controller might be just for the old games. Also you can buy an attachment to play DVDs etc
Go on the link I put before it has the hardware, software (games and their descriptions), philosophy (general info about the Wii), and all the information about the controllers!

I'd say to make it sound fun.

The wii remote was innovative with it's motion-sensing but Sony copied it and put it in the PS3 controller

Also in FPS's if you tilt the remote the gun tilts to the side! Gangsta!
