Wii is used in all cultures as "together"


Honestly, there is no such word or meaning on any portuguese culture. Actually, W isn't used by portuguese words, at al... maybe on translation from some foreign words on certain regions (which might include Brazil, in my case, although even here the W is vastly avoided). And this is only one of the inumerous exceptions...

I think it refers more to "we", as in the collective first-person plural pronoun. What possessed them to use the double i, I don't know.

"oh wii !
Touching is good, but feeling is better"

AHAHAHA...




Oh, and that video might have actually convinced me of this thing's legitimacy. I never once said it'd be shit, as I recall, but only bothered to make digs at the name. I still fear the limited games for it. That Red Steel, the Zelda game and that other one with the bows and arrows flying look cool. If this thing is as good as the hype that that vid cracks it up to be, I might consider it.

I don't normally take Ninty seriously due to the games it produces, but Red Steel looks like my kind of game.

STOP FIGHTING OVER NAMES! WHO GIVES A FUK THAT THE NAME IS WII?! It's just like fighting over C+C3: Tiberium Wars...OMG a "+" is a no-no. We want Twillight or Eclipse, but not Dusk, because Dusk sucks, and Wars is idiotic, it makes no sense. WE HATE TIBERIUM WARS as A NAME!

You know what, STFU! Yeah, the names are silly, but still, they're just names. AND THEY DO MAKE SENSE AT LEAST! I PERSONALLY LIKE WII AND ALSO TIBERIUM WARS! HAH! TAKE THAT, NEWBZ AND H8ERZ!! XD

lol...

Since when was anyone fighting over the name? Are we suddenly not allowed to express any sort of negative opinion about something? I'm sure a rose by any other name does smell as sweet. But if you called it a crap-blossom or a stinkweed, not too many people are going to take it seriously. That was the whole point.

We are, of course, all entitled to our opinion...there's NO NEED TO SHOUT OR TELL US TO STFU FOR IT. :shiftee:

Well, that just came out of nowhere, didn't it? On another note, they have another controler-like design for the Wii that'll come with the system. It has the look of the SNES controller, with the button setup of the Gamecube controller.

OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.
Razgriz intrerpretation

gotta say the controllers are pretty kick ass... why Nintendo gave there first decent console in years the name "wii" is beyond me as it will obviously hurt sales.

It might not hurt sales but it'll invite ridicule as it already has..

Yes, but you can't buy this kind of publicity.

I'm actually excited about the new Sonic game. They finally brought back the sense of speed that was in the first four games.


And your first four games are? Most people forget about the Master System classics, that were relatively disgusting compared to the beauty that was 16-bit Mega Drive. Sonic is so over used now though, Sega should have stopped when the Dreamcast failed to set sale. (No typo) :p
