    Wii

    Platform »

    The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.

    Ladies and gentleman . . . the Wii's killer app.

    Nah. Sony and Microsoft will come up with something to counter this...

    I'm willing to bet it'll be:
    Sony's solution: A 3D eight ball in Home that can be shook with the six-axis in order to answer any question you have for it.
    Microsoft's solution: Offer horoscopes on NXE.

    Yeah, I thought about that after I re-read my response, but then I figured that everyone's made a paper fortune teller at some point in their lives.

    Of course, now that I've thought about it, I keep reading it dirty.

    Its true, the only gimmick with the wii is the people playing it.  Leave it alone and it goes about its own business in a surprisingly efficient fashion.  Its a console that plays itself.

    It's mighty hard -- even for hardcore  fans at this point -- to take Nintendo seriously.  They've  put their name on some wonderful games over the years, but it's getting to the point that you can only use the "remember how great Mario and Zelda are" counter to a debate so long, before the snickers of the crowd drowns you out. I used to love you Nintendo. What happened?

    Poor Wii.  Not even stellar Zelda and Mario games can save you. 

    Save you, that is, even though you're outselling everything else not named "Playstation 2". 

    Funny how this works.

    I wonder if this one will come out outside of japan, other than japan i cant really think of a country that is into fortune telling. A horoscope channel however would do great however.

    Do we make game pages for channels? My guess is yes but i rather ask before adding this.

    This comin from the PS3 fanboy. Sure this is completely shameless but they rnt trying to appeal to hardcore gamers; thier trying for a casual audience which is fine as long as they remeber who got them thier. The wii has games like brawl, galaxy, and Zelda for hardcore gamers plus wii motion plus should improve the wii expierence

    seriously though...it's bad enough wii has limited space to store anything in general.  i'm pretty certain this supposed fortune channel is not a necessity.  then again...it's all relative :p

    I'm waiting for the day that I finally get a firmware update or a channel that's actually worth downloading (with the exception of the Metroid Prime 3 channel).
