So, what do you think about the console? when and where will you get it?, what launch titles would you buy?
personally i can't wait, much like Cartman on episode 1012, but maybe not as extreme, i keep looking for new ways to pass the time until nov.19, except university that doesn't help very much to the painful waiting, at the moment it's pretty much about finishing, again, TLOZ:OOT:MQ, after that TLOZ:MM, just to get into the right mood for the new Zelda, Twilight Princess :P
So basically i think the Wii is awesome, the new controller is so cool and its potential seems to be endless (I'm already waiting for a new RTS for the Wii that could use the controller as a mouse much like in PC RTS's, or some swordsfighting games that copies your hand movements 1 to 1, damn i'd better not think about it)
the single thing that is a bit behind the 360 and the PS3 is obviously the CPU and GPU raw power, not that the Wii is so weak, it said to be 2-3 times stronger than the GC, which is fine with me, and besides - eventually it's not the polygon count (oh, the lighting and shadow effects on the Wii will compare with those on the PS3 and 360, btw) who determines the whole graphical experience, but it has alot to do with the art, lighting, shadowing and presentation.
About nintendo games..i have faith in them, Nintendo clearly has the best games ever! :P, and not to mention the VC...
on launch, i'd definitely get The legend of zelda: Twilight Princess, RedSteel and Trauma Center.
then in dec.15 there's no way i won't have Metriod Prime Corruption and Super Mario Galaxy.
Unfortunately, it will be pretty hard for me to get the system close to launch (but i bet i will
), because i live in Israel, and probably for the lack of demand for games (it's so darn bad here, none buys games. everybody gets pirate/cracked versions on the net, i'm not innocent myself :*) Nintendo has removed its representatives here few years ago, when they realized it wasn't financial, and the only way to get their products here is by private-importing. which means it will be much more expensive, only the wii that suppose to cost 250 usd, will cost me about 420 usd including delivery and taxes. (we can, of couse, still buy Microsoft's and Sony's products here as we count a part of europe for those companies, but who really wants those ? :P)
So i'm planing on buy it in amazon.com at launch, order it to my uncles house that is located in Boston and then tell them to send it over here by DHL or something.
i went playing some zelda, have a nice day
