Wii Will Rock You!

Before E3

Wii Will Rock You!
Its hard to ignore the new brainchild Nintendo’s been working on. People love to hate it because its different and its normal for people to be afraid of change for one thing and that is what Nintendo wants, to change the gaming world.

The Wii might not have a catchy name or catchy specs but remember the DS wasn’t too catchy but it’s leading in handheld sales.
I remember before the Psp and DS were released a lot of people were badmouthing the DS on looks and performance but as an old saying goes, “don’t judge a book by its cover”.

One fact we cannot ignore is that when the Wii comes out our lives will be changed. The new innovative gameplay will not be aimed at gamer’s alone but non gamers as the DS.
The DS was rather underpowered as to the Psp and like the next gen consoles, the Wii is underpowered but as we have seen from the DS, power is not everything.

A lesson publishers are going to learn and one that keeps them moaning about the Wii is that they should stop being lazy.
An example of this is that they make games for Xbox or PS that are similar and all they do is change the quality of graphics and edit button configuration for each console.

Then there is the Wii that has to have games built from the ground up and publishers really don’t want this because it’s the same as doing your homework twice.

This is where Wii will rock us. The experience on Xbox and PS will be the same but with the Wiimote, the experience is closer to reality.
