I watched all three E3 press conferences. Sony and Microsoft offered very little that interested me, but Nintendo's had a lot of promise. Seems GameFAQs actually agrees with me on this one:

Here's a quick link to the list of Nintendo Wii titles shown so far:

Obviously not every title is a heavy hitter there, but most of the ones at the top of the list are looking fantastic. Now that we've finally been able to hear about hands-on experience with the remote, it's sounding more and more like the whole control scheme is a viable method. Modern generation gaming has become dead to me because everything feels like a copy of something else, but the Wii may change that for me. It's a shame that the "Wii" name hasn't become any less gay though. I'll just have to live with that.

Finally, the reason why I bought a Gamecube may be the reason why I buy a Wii. I'm Ready! I'm Ready!:

Really now...they shouldn't have changed it.


Revolution....it had a nice ring to it.

After reading so much E3 content the last few days, the Wii name has finally begun to grow on me. By the time the system launches, I should be able to walk into the store, and ask for a Wii without cringing.

The Wii is still last on my list but I will eventually get to it.

I think the reason I have no interest in the other two, is because I already have too many "traditional" gaming consoles, with hundreds of games I still need to play. Also, I have a PC to use for when I want to play online, so I don't need a 360.

If the Wii is truly offering new experiences instead of upgraded ones, which it seems like it is, then it should co-exist just fine with all my old systems.

Those are good reasons and I can see what you mean but that spark for the Wii concept just didn't hit me and make me excited for Nintendo's new concept.

I own a gamecube myself....I could have gotten an xbox or a 360 but I opted for neither. I remember (at the time of getting it) having a specific and key interest in obtaining the gamecube and nothing else but it. And I can't, for the love of me, remember what that reason was, lol. But I haven't regretted it; I kind of like the kiddy style of video games it has (Mariocart anyone?).

Gamecube was definitely my favorite of the last generation. It was such a powerful and stable little console. There are about 20 must-have titles for it.

I am interested in what those twenty are, unfortunetally my Gamecube library is quite lacking.

I've always thought how cube using such small discs and still packs quite a punch a sign of...I don't know. Something great than just bandwagoness.

That is a damn good list right there, despite being from IGN.

Fucking IGN. I was trying to grab some video for the video I'm currently working on (the one I recently uploaded part of onto youtube) and the fuggers wouldn't let me at the good stuff..I had to sign up and pay for it if I wanted to see it.. pssh, I just went to another site and bam, easy access.

Damn rip-off artists.
