    Well...thats how people reacted to the announcement of the Wii. Until they played it.

    @balls187: that isn't exactly true. Early reports from the debut of the wii up through the first reviews were all super-excited. In fact it had to be one of the most hyped products of all time at launch. There was some skepticism, of course, about the lack of graphics power and possibility that the motion sensors would result in a lot of gimmicky games but those are both well-founded concerns in my opinion.
    @Iwata: what you are experiencing is hubris, more commonly known as "my shit don't stink syndrome." The best treatment is sit down and take a big whiff of reality.

    @weatherman: No sir, you are wrong. Nintendo was lampooned heavily when they announced that the next gen Nintendo "Revolution" was being called Wii, that it would have motion controls, and would have similar graphics to the gamecube.
    Then, at E3, when people got to play the summabitch, they totally changed their minds. And blammo, it all changed.
    Yes, the games suck for the Wii, but there are a few rose smelling turds in the collection.

    Wow, that's a nice spin. However, Professor Iwata, folks react the same often to things that are tremendous failures. Best of luck, hope you impress.

    I suppose if we assume it's gonna be crap then at least when it luanches we can't be disappointed.
    Still whether we like it or not it's probably gonna sell like DS's ( cos they over took hotcakes along time back) next Xmas.

    I seem to remember Gizmodo slamming the Wii when it first debuted. Something along the lines of a stupid name with underwhelming graphics and technology compared to its peers.

    He also finds it a good sign when girls ignore him at parties.

    If you want to use the sniper rifle, you must calm down and slow your heartbeat. Other wise your shot will be off by a certain degree of accuracy.
    Sounds like that alone could prove to be interesting.

    They could have a game based on that movie crank where you need to keep your adrenaline going to keep the heart rate up and stay alive. Although how much is there to do in your living room to get your adrenaline pumping besides run in place and have sex. Not that having sex isnt fun, but I dont think you would care about the game anymore.

    Look, not all the peripherals are going to be popular or even non-stupid.

    Just enjoy the fact that the stupid system prints money for ya and move on to the next thing!

    Now excuse me, I'm gonna go play some Tiger Woods Golf. (It's great) ;)

    i think this roundup was mediocre, at best. it beared no resemblance to a circle and or anything round. instead it was a list. and to add, the list went down and not up.


    granted, the content of said list was excellent -- i was greatly disappointed by the lack of round.
