But in that case, it runs like hell on my 3g and the controls are blindingly frustrating. the interface / controls are the only things that would need re-working.

Is it worth $10 though?

If there was a way to make the characters created from your songs a bit more customizable it might have been a lot more fun.
The gameplay is just basically Final Fantasy Tactics Light, which isn't a bad thing, and was pretty entertaining, but it didn't hold my interest very long. I was expecting a game that was a bit more personalized around my musical tastes and got something else. Not a bad game, just not what I was expecting.
But on the other hand, it was only five bucks. I didn't feel too bad about it.

So what's Nintendo's answer to that? Speed up the next console by a year or two. Bring today's technology to it.
All the kids go Wooooooooooh!
Then in 2011 the PS4 and XBox740 will basically have to compete with a console as powerful as the PS3 and 360.
Sounds like a foolproof plan to me.
No wait.
p.s. I only own a pc and a wii. I ain't buying any ps3 or x360 ever. Just to clarify things a bit before someone starts calling me biased or something...

And a single unit, custom built for a TV network barely counts, if at all. Besides, CNN develops their tech in house.

Natal is a joke. Prove me wrong.
Sony at least has tech demos, and frankly, that's probably all they will become this gen of hardware.
Console gaming disappoints me.
I bought Alone in the Dark for 360 and thought it is great. Against nearly 80% of instant gratification sheeple.
I'd rather dust off my Genesis and play Sonic 1, 2, and Mortal Kombat, than to wait around to see how minimal improvements EA make to this or ANY years Madden, while at the same time doing all they can to purchase and BURY innovative tech such as "BackBreaker".
Oh, and for God's Sake SOMEBODY give me a DAMN Star already! What do I have to do?, change my username to Kaiser Mac-Head, Git-emSteveDave, or OMG! PONIES!! Sheeh!
C'mon already?! Star Power Activated?

If there is a new Wii, it's probably DOA. Gamers won't want it, Casuals won't want to replace the system they have now, and publishers won't want to produce for it since very rarely did they make a profit from games they made for it.

1. The one they have now is dominating the competition.
2. They could easily increase sales of this current console by adding new colors/lowering price.
3. Lack of HD is not hurting the console.

I'm thinking the latter is your best option.

One shitty port does not outline the capabilities of a system.
Go look at SMG or SSBB if you think the Wii's graphics are abysmal and you'll realize the Wii can be very pretty if you actually try.
And your comment about the backup loaders is hilarious since it has absolutely nothing to do with my original post.

"3. Lack of HD is not hurting the console."
Anyone who wants an hd for the wii allready has one.
How is that absolutely nothing? What's so absolute about it? Well, at least you found my post hilarious...
Personally I'm all for defending the Wii, but I'd rather do it with real defences. Super Mario Galaxy is not as heavy as the top games of the other two consoles. Can you imagine GTAIV on the wii? I bet the console couldn't take it even is you replaced all human models with the low polygon miis. At best, the wii can barely outperform the ps2. There are limits, dude...

Ah, I see the problem here. When you say HD you mean hard drive (actually shortened HDD). When I say HD I mean High Definition.

Between this lovely rumor and the miraculous [cough] $50 price drop, the Wii might sell a couple dozen units this Christmas.
(Don't listen to me folks, I never would have predicted the Wii controller gimmick would make it the hottest selling game machine on the market, so Nintendo will almost certainly make me look like an idiot typing this comment.)

Nintendo makes me sad.

Since you're clearly an Apple user I thought you'd be used to using products that lack the same basic functions as their competitors.

a lot of sales will be lost if i cannot transfer all of my content to the new Wii without hassle.
now the question is would a DVD player still be relevant in today's era of steaming videos? will the new Wii do away with discs all together and be cloud based and dirt cheap?
inquiring minds want to know...

Nobody is going to be keep buying same consoles with just HD. Nintendo is such a rip off company.
09/21/09
That is why they released the Wii as a slight upgrade to the GameCube, instead of a loss leader like the Xbox and PS3, because it was cheap to do, and they added the new control scheme. And their marketing gamble paid off.
09/21/09
ever hear of the ds lite? same console, still sold like hotcakes. Im sure HD wii will also.
also, more powerful graphics, new controller.. doesnt that essentially make it the next gen nintendo console, rather than an updated wii?
