I'm a nintendo fanboy and want to here other peoples feedback on what they think of Nintendos new console

Will you get one?
I am not going to get one, already have a Nintendo DS. Haven't got the money and time to get a Nintendo Revolution. And I prefer a Xbox 360 and a PS3 over a Revolution.

I obviosly will get one. if just look at what they're putting in it i think you'll change your mind. and there is also the sweet games

hah, have you seen those revolution controllers?

and, in addition to that, have a look at the current name

revolution has just been renamed to Wii

You can gain major impression about the new Nintendo Console here.It seems that they're planning something really big.

I'll only get it if I can get a PS3 in addition.
Unless the reviews are consistent, and all give 4-5 stars.
Because I'm fine with my Gamecube and it's Broadband modem

Anybody see the recent name change. Its now gonna be called the Nintendo Wii (Wee). Honestly, what was nintendo thinking when they decided this name change... I'm not so sure about the so called "revolution" anymore..

I must admit, I would never go out of my way to purchase something with such a ridiculous name if it were not an extremely innovative toy. However it appears in this case that it is. I believe we are reaching the point in console gaming where the dual analog fps genre is getting as worn out as the 2d side scrolling shooter was back in the days of snes. When the first 3d games came out it was mindblowing. Remember doom and heretic? It is interesting that most people would never go back and play an old 3d fps but snes games are again fun and playable today. I believe this is because in a reality simulation such as an fps, visual realism is an issue. However that isn't necessarily what makes a great game that has addictive gameplay and good replay value. I don't think that publishers realize that even though we are statistically buying a lot of these games we are getting a bit burned out. You can also see this by comparing the psp to the ds. Look at the numbers! I love both however I play my ds more because it is interesting to see how they are implementing the touch, dual screen, and microphone to create a fun entertainment experience. It is cool because it is different, and I believe that people's love for something new is what will sell the features of the Wii. I believe this system will also be interesting from a development standpoint. When you have to completely re-evaluate how the end user is going to interact with your software you are forced to become more creative. This will help lift some of the publisher's inhibitions regarding the types of projects they fund and hopefully release a more interesting assortment of titles than their competitors. Not that I won't buy a ps3, 360, and everything else... I am just saying that this will be fun. Though on a another note I think the name may be intentionally ridiculous, it has caused me to think enough about the system to write a post about it. Genius... but then again, what if it was intended to be taken seriously?

Not a big fan of the name change...I'll probably still call it the "Revo". But I am extremely excited about this system and I can't wait to play the next Smash Brothers game.

Nice new info from E3.

1. The controller will have a microphone and a speaker.

2. The console is connected to internet 24 hours a day and it has internet features such as Opera web browser.

3. 27 titles will be playable tomorrow.

That's pretty much it. Tomorrow wii should know more.

Supposedly Wii is supposed to be pronounced Yuheh but who knows... i'm going to get one... hello... you can use the controlsers motion detection to control links sword and shield, as in like... real combat, and you get to aim Samus's gun.. HULLO... Revo/Wii plz kthnx. Deliver now. The Fit is go... woops wrong product... Anyways... NINTENDO's best idea in a forever = the Wii.
