[Merged] Why no Nintendo section? / Will Wii have a Wii section?
Yep as the oh-so-funny topic name suggests, Will we have a Wii section. We have Playstation and Xbox 360. I think the Wii will be popular and warrents its own section! I am getting one thats for sure (hopefully, I had to pre-order again to day thanks to the fact that I am stupid).
But on topic. I think a Nintendo (so it covers DS as well) sub-forum is needed
Viva la Nintendo

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)
Definately a good idea....I can see many people wanting to experience the new gaming possibilities of the Wii so a forum would be good.

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)
I have a DS Lite, i'd love to know where to get cheaper games for it, and the homebrew etc...
If others had one this could be a good idea

Druchi, I have a friend who buys a lot of games and imports for the DS from PlayAsia. He says it is a good site and that shipping is quick too.

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)
Wii will likely be brought alongside, a PS3 or XBOX 360. But also dont forget the amounts of ninty fans and the newcomers this is sure to attact? (Like the DS did?)
Any mods wanna give a clue on if this is possible?

Re: Will Wii have a Wii section? (see what i did there?)
It depends how much real demand there is for the forum. I seem to remember that we used to have a Gamecube subforum (or was it in with another console, can't remember now) and that wasn't exactly the life and soul of the forum.
However, the idea will certainly be considered so i'll leave you with....... maybe.

Cool, Just should mention that the Gamecube was a failure in a lot of senses. Although it did turn a profit and have some great games.
But in the last year or so Nintendo have shot up in popuarity. The DS is already much much more popular than the Gamecube and is outselling the PSP.
The Wii is a new console so it bound to generate a lot of buzz for the first two years at least, if its a success then longer. It already getting a lot of positive press and even hardcore 'nintendo are for kids' people are liking the Wii.
The DS and Wii also have a different audience in those who never used to play games...
In the end, Xbox 360 and PS3 will all have the same kind of games and the same way to play them. The Wii and DS not only have the wide range of Nintendo games, but also the different ways to play those games. It is a very different console to the rest.
In summary: The GC was a failure. But the DS is already more popular, add to that the upcoming Wii and the different controls methods and it will be a lot more mainstream. Just, please, do not use the Gamecube as a way to decide this is all i am saying

Wii was originally codenamed "Revolution". It is the next console to come out after Nintendo's Gamecube and features new ways of gameplay.
