Today is the E3 ;D this more info of Nintendo EGM Reveals Nintendo Wii Secrets Wii Didn't This Coming The cat is out of the bag as they say. From Electronic Gaming Monthy magazine: - A pricetag of $249 for Nintendo Wii gseems appropriateh. - Console is always online - always online, even when off. - Built-in speaker - On the controller - See below for more details. - No improved graphics on Virtual Console - As in, they arenft redoing the models, doesnft talk about framerates and such. - TG16 will have itfs 1st party games out at launch - 3rd party will come later as demand increases. - Estimated prices for the Virtual Console download service are ga few dollars for NES, $5 for SNES and $10 for N64. - More Third Party Exclusives than Gamecube. - As for first party games: In Zelda: Twilight Princess there will be no swinging the controller for the sword all the time, you just press a button. There are some cases where you will swing though - Youfd get too tired too fast otherwise. Controller secret details: gThe controller will contain ac csmall amount of memory, which can be written to by the console (via Bluetooth) during the game. This will usually be used to store small sound files which can be heard via the controllerfs small internal speaker. In demonstrations this system could be used, for example, to simulated the sound of gun shots coming from the controller when fired; when you put this together with the force feedback, it creates a game experience which surpasses anything we have been able to create before. In other experiments we created a simple gChinese whisperh style communication game which one player could whisper into the controller (we were even able to be in another room when doing this) and then the sound would be sent via the console to another playerfs controller which they could then hear. Great fun!h I reckon that confirms a Microphone as well.

I always thought Revolution would have been a better name. Wii is a little weird. It kinda looks like the initials for World War II.

SSB:B will be good, especially the new characters being added like Pit(Kid Icarus), Zero suit Samus (Metroid Zero Mission), Meta Knight (Kirby), and shocking of all Solid Snake (Metal Gear)

I just saw the screenshots for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It looks intense! In my honest opinion, I thought Super Smash Bros. Melee (Nintendo Gamecube game) was a lot better than the original Super Smash Bros (N64 game). Here's hoping Brawl will be great too! I wonder who from the StarFox games will be playable...

Cheers for the Wii! I can't wait for the system to launch. ;D Didn't they say October 2nd was when they're releasing it? Because I've heard rumors of the date being October 22nd.
