Wii

It has been brought to my attention, and shock, that still so many had no idea about the up-coming (some might call it next-gen) Nintendo console (code named Revolution) officially named Wii.. people are only aware of PlayStation3 and that's all they heard of.. it is my duty as a gamer to keep you guys up-to-date.. what is Wii? why is everybody at E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) 2006 keep talking about it? why the long waiting line just to play the game/demo on this console? what is so interesting about it's controller, 'Wiimote' (some might call it)? and last but most importantly, why is Roy so excited about Wii?

To answer your questions and more.. please click on the youtube.com video clips below and see what i had seen.. it'll take you on a ride to what i had seen and what made me a believer of Wii.. enjoy..

In the month of September 2005 (last year).. i came to know about a gaming convention held in Japan called TGS (Tokyo Game Show) 2005.. usually Nintendo never hold a booth or anything or even announce important news at TGS since E3 is where they do a lot of meetings.. but what happen during the conference held by Nintendo before TGS 05 kicks off is a shocking revelation pulled out by none other than the President of Nintendo himself mr.Satoru Iwata.. you see, during E3 2005 we were only shown what the console look like but we were never given the information on what the controller is like..

He pulls out the controller, we were all shocked (jaw dropping to the ground) and the following clip were shown..

Fast forward, and now we're at E3 2006 being held in Los Angeles in the month of May.. i was so excited for the Pre-E3 06 Nintendo Conference.. it's about to start at midnight here, online live-viewing directly from LA (it's morning over there).. it's starting!! mr.Shigeru Miyamoto take the center stage and present us live demonstration of the 'Wiimote' in action!! he's playing the Wii Music: Orchestra.. after couple of clips, mr.Reggie Fils-Aime take over the conference and show us couple of Wii movie clip presentation..

So.. now you've seen the concept of 'Wiimote' during the TGS 05.. and then you've seen 'Wiimote' in action on demo games at E3 06.. i'm not sure about you guys but i'm hungry to know more.. Nintendo is still holding couple of more secrets from us the consumer and gaming industry.. they've just revealed to us an addition of speaker on the controller (at E3 06).. will there be a microphone added onto the controller? what is the selling price of the console? and most importantly, which of the month in Q4 2006 will Wii make it's launch?
