I'm guessing "from what you've seen" is pretty much nothing. The Wii looks awesome.

No, no ethernet port. There's gonna be an option for a USB adapter I think. And no, the graphics aren't that good. Xbox1-ish.

huh, didnt know it didnt have an etherent port, hows it connect to that "Connect 24" thang then? is it wireless? dont tell me you have to buy that usb thing.

the wii looks pretty dam good for its games, the real gimiky ones, you know, the tennis, baseball, warioware etc. but things like red steel i think are looking bad, IGN just recently had some new gameplay footage from leipzig(?) and it did look very xbox, which inst a problem, its just that im used to better graphics now. :unsure:

Its to connect to the Internet or Connect 24 via Wi-Fi Technology or a USB Adapter (apparently)

Rmumour Mill is also suggesting that the graphics will be better than Xbox1-ish and that they are purposely playing down and degrading video in order to create hype at the Toyko Games Show (I think). I don't believe it myself...

I think most people will by it for the novelty value.

Are you off your rocker art. Could you please explain your comment. You say it doesnt really look good from what you have seen. Have you based that on any reasons or just laziness.

Well, look. We all know the graphics won't look that good.

And, to be honest, I'm starting to feel the hype bleed out of this system. I dunno.. Definitely not a launch day purch for me.

I'm feeling the same way as you more and more Blaze, I used to be super excited about the Wii, but I'm honestly now thinking about passing it at Launch and just getting a bunch of 360 games.

And it sucks. Because I want to see what it's about. But I'm starting to really feel bad about the graphics and no Achievements...

I hope this isn't how everyone's starting to feel, it could really hurt Nintendo :(

Nintendo isn't aiming for people who already own a 360. Not by a long shot. I think they'll be fine.

But, the lack of achievements? Meh. Not a deal breaker for me. I'm more concerned about my arms getting tired 20 minutes into some Wiimote swingin'.

lol all the people who say the graphics wont be any good, its not going to be better graphicly than the 360 or ps3 but the graphics will still be good and better than the xbox 1, xbox 1 used a geforce 3 card i think i dont think the wii will have a graphics card like that

More of a GeForce 3-4. A lot of 3 for the backbone of the card, but nVidia added a lot of stuff they'd put into their 4 series. The Wii is gonna have an ATI custom built card, but, seriously man. If it's gonna retail for <$200, they couldn't have told ATI to make it that serious. Look at the Wii screenshots. Xbox1ish is pretty accurate, I feel.
