Wiill Wii Rock?

No typo there. Nintendo Revolution has been renamed as "Wii" (pronounced "we", to make it simple to remember for non-English speaking players and others too. Also it is supposed to create a sense of Nintendo fan-community, as in "we"). I have mentioned this at least a couple of times in the past and it still remains the only next generation console that I will wait in rains for 6+hrs.

I sincerely believe that this is going to be a big hit amongst the gamer community. EA announced that their Madden is not going to be a simple port for Wii but the gamer experience would be different considering the abilities of the new controller.

Check out this article:

"Players will hike the ball by mimicking a quarterback receiving the ball from the center, and then pass it to a receiver by making a throwing gesture with the free-hand controller. The faster the passing motion, the more of a bullet pass it becomes (in previous Madden editions, bullet passes were made by holding the passing button down longer)."


If you are wondering about the jokes on "Wii", they are all taken.

The best I read on slashdot was: "Apparently it doesn't have 802.11 since Wii is what you get if you have No F-in Wifi."
