So. The Nintendo Wii.
We've established that it will be good, that it will sell, that Nintendo know what they're doing.
The problem is, the next step is not something that Nintendo are usually very good at; Advertising.
If the rumours are to be believed, the Wii should be out sometime between September and November. If thats the case, they should really start drumming up interest now. They will want kids to have the Wii on their christmas list, general newspaper readers getting interested in this new idea and give time for casual gamers to come around to the idea that this is something new and different that they need to have.
But they need to get it right and they have so many options now that they've given the console THAT name. There are tons of pieces of music, tons of ways to get the right message across, far from being a nightmare (we all know the wii jokes by now) its actually an advertiser's dream.
But will they do much about it? Well, theres no sign yet that something is about to happen, but I really hope they have something lined up, otherwise the message just won't get out there in time and Wii will be the only ones to know about it...

Understandable, I'd do the same if I didn't have so much faith in the type of games Nintendo make being suitable for me. I must point out that the phrase was used in a 'tabloid' way to make the post sound interesting and is based simply on the fact that all hands on media reviews from all sources (including rival format magazines) have been positive toward the games and the machine in general.

What if Square were to ever release a remake of FFVII then? With all their flashy graphics. Can you picture the Cloud from Advent Children dressing up as a woman and being chased around a room?
They did an intro remake I wonder if they'll ever be tempted to do it.
And how this is related to Wii I have no idea.

And as it goes, it was my very first game :-D
I was young, and knew nothing about game hype. Ah for the good old days :-D

But graphics are like the icying on a cake, without them it just doesnt feel complete.
