i wish people would stop calling the wii remote a wiimote!!!!

"Wiimote" is an awesome name for the controller.

I guess we could call it a revmote, but that's so retro.

Is your manager a gamer, or just your regular EB manager who found an easy job and is sticking with it?

he's a pretty hardcore gamer. He has more games reserved right now for this year than I plan on buying till next spring.

Also how could what I said get him in trouble. He played both the Wii and PS3 and he liked the Wii better. Our store is not going to have any trouble selling the 2 to 3 PS3s we get in, so why should it matter if he tells anyone that he likes the Wii better as off now and to hold off on the PS3 till there are better games?

The hardware is basically a GC. We've upgraded our development tools to new versions but, you can still use GC programs as they are. With that in mind, I thought we could remake GC titles for the Wii and modify them to work with the Wii remote so that they're more fun to play.

Wow, they must want to beat the hell out of him right now.

With the exception of people like us who are on the internets talking about games that haven't come out yet for months before we play them, does anyone really give a damn about how powerful the system is? Is Bob Commongamer going to care if Console X is more powerful than Console Y if the both look good and play fun games?
The PS2 answered that question with a "No, no one really cares" last generation, I think the Wii will answer it the same way this generation.

Fucking hell.

[Schlep]

They're already doing that...Mario Strikers, Wario Ware, Twilight Princess, Metroid Corruption, and so on...

Not only that, Miyamoto thinks Wii-makes won't command full price as its easy to find the original GameCube titles second hand. Though, fret not, Miyamoto notes that the Wii does have better graphic capabilities than the GameCube, and there will be eye candy games for the Wii. So, it's the GameCube, but better. What's wrong with that?

Commentary: Duh. We already knew all of this.

I stopped by Gamestop, and heard the manager commenting on how they were going to call the Zelda reserves first when the Wii's up for pre-order. Said the Rayman rabbits thing was the most fun of the games he played and that yeah, it was a lot of fun, blah blah blah.

There is much greater difference between the 360/PS3 and the Wii then there was between the Xbox/GC and the PS2. And yes, I think your average casual gamer is gonna look at Wii kiosks and 360/PS3 kiosks and care that the 360/PS3 games look far better.
