Mii want Wii
Well, I guess all gamers are now well aware that the Nintendo Wii will debut in US on November 19th for US$250, followed by Japan on December 2nd for JY¥25,000, then Europe on December 8th for E249 (GBP£179). And how’s that for pricing? You could pick up 2 Wiis with a few games for the price of a Sony PlayStation 3!
I really do think Nintendo is heading the right way by focusing on the fun factor as opposed to building some mega-high definition, super-realistic graphics, center of your home digital-hub, and what-have-you kinda machine. I mean, we have the Microsoft Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for that (let them battle it out amongst themselves as to which is the ultimate super-machine). Besides, I personally think that the graphics are pretty good as is with the Nintendo Gamecube and the original Microsoft Xbox. I believe, video-games graphics should look like video-games graphics rather than super-realistic. I dunno, maybe its just me but I like authentic looks/feel. Example, I like the flat 2D graphics of Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Megadrive more than the most recent 3D Sonic game for say, the Nintendo Gamecube or Sony PlayStation 2. You get what I mean? It just feels so authentic! Anyway, I understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder therefore I won’t bother going on about how good graphics look in 2D.
