The aesthetics of Wii

[wraggster]

Via Revfanboy

It's strange how almost every single picture of the Wii fails spectacularly to depict the console's actual size. In reality, the system is ridiculously small with an aesthetic that deftly illustrates how far Nintendo has come in terms of design after they churned out the monstrous looking N64. We're not shallow enough to attach much significance to a console's appearance, but there's something unnervingly attractive about that small white box and its various attachments.

i actually think it is

if you look in the hole near the right end there is a button that will no doubt be used as a trigger

lol just tying to help xD

thats probably a pre-production prototype - meaning the final design will probably change. i think they would have showed it just to show us theres one in the works.

ok I have have a quick comment I have looked at the gun supposed prototype i believe the whole by the handle has a small button correct me if im wrong but i does seem to be a small rectangular shape there for this button that you were looking for just my opinion

OMG I didn't even know there was another remote to choose from for the WII that may def. up my chances of buying this sytem. But it all depends because Nintendo will probaly be gay and charge for the roms for the emulators. And I will have to pay twice for games that I already own. (That will be a bummer ) But any way I do thing that gun is sexy and I'm sure its for games like playing duckhunt from back in the day lol ^_^ So I hope Nintendo will have a low price unlike PS3 and XBox 360 especially Ps3 $500-$600 o_O!!!! How do you guys thing the backwards compatability for the WII will work anyway?

[Anger]

well i hope they dont charge for carts we have but put it this way - how would they validate that you have a cart for a game so you can download the rom version for free? well the answer imo is that they cant and that means they will charge for all the old games - even if you already own them. the backwards compatability is an emulator meaning it should work like any other homebrew except they will probably have some kind of drm for the roms you download. they could allow you to download the rom for a set price or for a cheaper price download a time limited copy. i think this is a bad idea because people just dont like being told what they can and cant do with there own software - especially if they have the carts for those games already and are being made to pay for them again.
i really think the whole wii concept will be put to the test when they reveal exactly how this will work. im hoping they have some form of validation for legit carts so you dont have to pay twice for a game.

i think a usb port for all old cartridges... and it should be able to play those weird lil gamecube disks and then a downloading service

that wud be awesome.. and prevent theft
