Yeah...Nintendo has changed the name of the Revolution.
The Revolution is now the 'Wii' (pronounced 'we').
So there you have it. Nintendo Wii. One thing I might say - whoever came up with that name must have been smoking some wii-d.
The name is pronounced 'we' supposedly to show which direction Nintendo is going with gaming, meaning that they want to include everybody. They also used the 'ii' spelling because it 'resembled the new controller design and symbolized people playing together'.
Sure, that's all good and flowery, but the fact remains...Wii just sucks as a name.
Oh well, I'm still gonna get one before X360 and PS3 anyways.

myself personially i think it would have been better if they had left the name revolution instead of the wii. it sounds like a retarded name i think that revolution sums up the system pretty well cause it was and still is to my knowlege supposed to be a revolution in the world of gaming.

well i'll get a wii myself, but not before the 360 and ps3 because those're gonna be systems that won't collect dust in my house. i so need to pledge my gamecube man, i need to play skies of arcadia or tales of symphonia or something to make it feel loved

It plays (most) PS2 games just fine. It's the PS1 games that it barfs on. It sounds like it's eating them rather than reading them.
And I'm not getting another PS2 just so I can play a few PS1 games. It's not like I have an infinite supply of cash, you know. And even if I did, I'd just wait for the PS3.
Well, I am getting a used Dreamcast from some random dude on eBay. He offered a good price for it, and it comes with a game that I really want to play.
Seaman. (Kaney will insert his own sexual innuendo here.)
yeah well what can i say me and sesshy battered up and played with seamen all night long last night take that however you want
well since you're doing that with a dreamcast mitch, just do that with a ps1 or ps2 on ebay i mean we're talking MONTHS till the ps3 is released and i wouldn't want to only be stuck on the gamecube and xbox only for that amount of time

I'm very patient. I have money invested in preordered games that won't come out until June. Same goes for Twilight Princess, and it's coming out in, like, November, and I've still had it on preorder since last year. And I haven't been phazed much from Miyamoto pushing the date back every 18 hours.
I CAN survive with only a PS2 that only plays PS2 games, a Gamecube and an Xbox. I mean, I'm fortunate. Some people I know don't have three systems. Heck, some not even ONE. They have a stick and their grandma's cathater to play with!
Rodney Dangerfield said something similar: "I was poor growing up. If I wasn't a boy, I'd have had nothing to play with."
EDIT: And speaking of Seaman, it comes with a microphone, so when the virtual pets ask you questions, you can answer them or give them commands. Here's a list I found that shows what the game will respond to. SOme of the words they acknowledge are....surprising, for a Sega game.

true mitch, but a ps1 that has been refurbished shouldn't cost anymore than a dreamcast though, and there are some ps1 titles that make their ps2 successors look like sh**

ok sorry to go back to the seaman topic but.....dang thats a lot of words. for an old system and an old game thats really cool that it can recognize all those words. Oh and back to the topic of referbished PS1's well even so if Mitch wanted to play PS1 games without all the noise from his PS2 trying to eat them then he could always borrow mine cause I mostly play my N64 and Game Cube.

well i do understand that your funding is limited and stuff, but see if you could afford it then why not. i mean if it comes down to it i'd loan you my ps1 until you could get one since my ps2 works fine with me

I am not borrowing any systems from anyone. I am not buying a refurbished or new version of a system I already have. If I wanted to play the aforementioned games bad enough, I would have agreed to one of the previous solutions.
i'm in mine right now thinking aboot my usual cascade of crazy stuff
anyhoo, me and aaron were talking friday about nintendo, and we were saying that how that nintendo like never gives anything that the fans/players (whatever you wanna name 'em) want, but just what that nintendo can shove down their throats. well while on the other hand it seems that sony and microsoft do listen. well while aaron is a huge nintendo fan, he and i agree that this could potentially be nintendo's last major console unless good ole' nintend gets its head outta its arse. well i'm predicting that in the year 2015 that all nintendo games will be released on the sony and microsoft systems of the day and nintendo will be third party like sega is now because they couldn't seem to get it right.
one thing that aaron said, not me, is how that while the new controller is going to be interesting, most people will probably hate it

well i don't wanna see nintendo go the way of death, but hey if nintendo doesn't try to cater to more people other than zelda/mario/resident evil fans then it will not make it too much longer. the only way a company survives is that it caters to as many people as it can, and that mean not just one or two types.
now in an ideal world everyone would own each system and everything would fluffly like sesshy's tail, but it's not a fluffy world and each company is going to fight like dogs until one of them is on top anal raping the others, and right now total bit** of the gaming industry is nintendo atleast from my observations
