    About the Zelda:

    1. The fairy concept - my initial reaction is that might either be really handy or really annoying. Hopefully handy.

    2. ...The remote and then...the nunchuck? Is that what he's calling it? Riiiiight.

    3. "You'll feel like you're actually aiming a bow." Ok, sorry, I have to disagree with this. More like aiming a laser pointer, thank you. When you give me an actual bow or virtual bow, then I'll feel like I'm aiming a bow.

    Not to knock on Zelda or anything at all - goodness know I love Zelda games, and that's my only sad factor with all the new stuff. New games want new consoles, and vice versa. Poor people like me get left in the dust. How sad. And I've been waiting for a new Zelda game for so long...

    I like how they're using the speaker in the controller. That's some great stuff. I hope they keep it up.

    Nintendo's really presenting some great stuff imo. Man I hope they can pull it off. They're sort of at the make-or-break stage. Come on...
    I think I know precisely what I mean

    The Wii controller is a great concept, and I hope Nintendo can pull it nicely.

    But somehow I feal we're having a lot of kids with broken controllers buying replacements....

    I mean, when I was a kid, playing NES, the control sometimes fell from my hands with almost no movement. Now that the control has to be swinged like a racket, sword or others....

    Good strategy to sell more controlers (just kidding )

    EDIT:
    changed where to we're.

    This new information on the Zelda game has me pretty excited. Of course, I was excited about Windwaker too, and that turned out to be a huge letdown compared to Ocarina of Time.

Apparently it's kind of heavy (as heavy as a DS) due to the speaker on it and the AA batteries used to power it.

    @Turkish-S: Ah, yeah that's right, I forgot about the Gamecube Zelda...when on earth is that supposed to come out anyway? I remember hearing about that maybe a year or two ago.

    @Xan: Aww, it takes batteries? I'd hate to think how many batteries that would consume over time. And I'd really hate to think of how I'd be in the middle of a boss battle or something and all of a sudden the thing goes dead on me... Boy would that ever be annoying.

    Both the Gamecube and Wii versions of Twighlight Princess will be released on the Wii's laungh date, which is still only "4th Quarter 2006", meaning later on this year. I wonder why they haven't picked an actual date yet . They've been hazy on both the release date and the price. I smell a conspiracy. >_>

    Well, that is true, except that all wireless controllers take batteries. The problem isn't unique to the Wii. Plus, I've been using the same batteries on my Wavebird for over a year and a half now. Battery life isn't THAT big of a problem. Hopefully they'll start using rechargeable batteries, 'cause yeah, that'd suck if it blanked out in the middle of a fight or you had to buy new batteries constantly.

    I agree with Ryouga. Remember when you were a little kid and you thought that by turning the controller sideways while playing would turn the car even more? Well now it can...so those kids are going to go wacko with Wii controllers.

    Well if they think smart and use Microsoft's idea, then we won't have a problem with battery life

    Ah, I hadn't looked too close to the remote - the thing was I simply saw wires and as a controller, assumed it was hooked up the console. I figured it was just being called a remote because that's typical remote shape (guess that makes me remote biased? XD)

    And I agree...conspiracy...

    According to the-magicbox.com

    - Microsoft announced the HD-DVD peripherial for Xbox 360, tentatively named Xbox 360 Player, will be sold for US$199.
    So...

    Xbox360 with 20gb HDD = 400
    +
    HD-DVD peripheral = 200
    =
    600 dlls

    PS3 with 60GB HDD + Integrated Blu-ray reader = 600.


    The only difference is that the xbox gives you the "choice" of not watching hd-movies.

    I have no idea where that article gets the pricetag from this article says it has no idea where the figure comes from (look at the update). I cannot find any confirmed price for the drive anywhere (spent 20 minutes looking). That number is made up.

    The cheaper PS3 has no memory card slot, no HDMI (which destroys its advantage over the 360 and as a HD movie player), and the smaller HDD.

    The Core Xbox 360 is upgradable to an equivalent of the better version for about $150.

    If I was going to buy either one, I'd be buying a fully loaded one, but not everyone can afford that.

    Already saw the trailer yesterday

    But there are alot of rumors going around: like, 65 playable characters, Sonic, FF characters!

    And the best thing is that it'll be online, which will be the best treat of all.....if they can get it to work(in othe words assertn, you're going to get a beatdown )
