I'm Muslim. We worship the same god as Jewish people and Christian people do. By extension we don't have the same beliefs but the beliefs are ,in fact, very similar. The media says they are so from Christian say that they worship different Gods and are an evil religion but it only because the government is corrupt.

I can't really say for sure until I've held the controller, but I think that the remote itself is similar enough to a steering wheel that an accessory would just be a waste.

I have to agree with Andy here. It's not worth judging till we know what we can pick. But knowing me, I'll most likely go with whatever non-Skyrim/Western RPG's are at launch. And Before everyone comes in and tells me that Skyrim is Jesus reincarnate, I don't like it's combat. I'm a melee person in WRPG's and it just feels clunky using melee in Skyrim

Skyrim is Jesus reincarnate. Seriously, it is. Also, it's combat is awesome; only thing I don't like about is that you can't actually stab through a wolf or something -- you just slash at it.

My voice cracks a lot. I'm in that weird stage sometimes it sounds deep sometimes it's kiddy. It sounds like the American rapper Lil Wayne when it's deep.



Heh competition.

...And they look completely not good. All we need is more options for clothes and costumes, Xbox avatars are just sad.

They look like they were inspired by a cheesy cartoon. I never liked them. They remind me of those scary glass dolls.
They're cold, freaky and look like they can't handle a joke.

Dude can you fill me in?
Who is Ponkotsu? lol

A guy who ONLY posts very detailed ideas, opinions, or facts. It's so good that almost every post he does is guaranteed to gain a 'popular' mark for having so many likes. Check out his 'Miitropolios' thread. Your Mind = Blown!

Everyone's pretty much said what's worth saying on this subject, and there was a thread about this pretty recently, though it got derailed later on, unfortunately.

But yeah, Miis aren't going anywhere, and rightly so, as they're still by far the most popular and fully standardized avatar system in gaming. The more they can do to expand their use in games - whether appearing in icon form on your save file, as playable characters in games built for Miis exploring more of the Mii world, as playable characters or bonus content or cameo characters (As in Metroid Prime 3's ship dashboard Mii bobblehead or the Japan-only Sorcery Blade WiiWare RPG, which had an entire Mii village in it, or even the Japan-only retail Bomberman version of the WiiWare game, which featured a full story mode in which you were rescuing your Miis as Bomberman), collectibles, and so on - and expand them further into being our personal profile figurehead and general online representation across friend lists, gaming stat cards/sigs, profiles, social virtual worlds like in my Miitropolis thread from a while back, the better.

There's so much that can be done with Miis as a concept to personalize one's gaming experiences and online social presence to make it all your own, and Nintendo hasn't even really fully explored the tip of the icberg, as they say. The only real aesthetic updates, as already mentioned by many were, would probably be simply to update them to be a bit sharper looking to appropriately fit in with the higher-end Wii U visuals - where the lower end appearance still works fine on the 3DS, but would need a bump up on its successor - and more customization features, more varieties of hair, eyes, noses, mouths, and other facial features. And of course, as others have mentioned, clothing and accessories, which would work well as potential unlocks to tie in with whatever achievement system is coming to the Wii U and 3DS. Likewise, rather than charging microtransactions like the competition for avatar clothing, taking a StreetPass Mii Plaza and play coin type approach would be the better way to go - include some online and offline minigames and metagames like those in the StreetPass Mii Plaza to unlock some standard basic clothing with, and bring in a means of earning a simple little meta-currency for the Wii U's play coins, probably going ahead and keeping the game, with a variety of means by which to earn them. Then rather than charging and spending real money on Mii clothing and accessories, you could spend play coins on them instead, in addition to earning them from games, with new updates (Via whatever passive online connection service name they use on there akin to WiiConnect24 and SpotPass - WiiUConnect24, perhaps.) every few weeks to months bringing some more clothing and accessories to purchase to personalize your Mii as much as possible.

It'd be nice to see Nintendo do something with all their numerous other mascots too, if only to add some basic achievements to all 3DS and Wii U 'channels' and apps of sorts to fully encourage exploration and use of these features (As well as to add more content and some more replay value to the AR Games and Face Raiders), to perhaps earn little badges for the little internet mascot on the 3DS (Perhaps by simply connecting to the internet for the first time), 3DS Camera and Sound parakeets, the Wii's help cats (Assuming they're carried over to the Wii U, like the parakeets were from the DSi to the 3DS, as I'd imagine the Wii U will bring even more little mascots like that, considering the huge explosion in their growth on the 3DS), the 3DS's little shopping bag mascot, Mr. AR, Swapnote's Nikki (Perhaps having her show up as part of the population or your personal population in an online virtual Mii world like in my Miitropolis concept), the Face Raiders UFO, and so on.

Considering how Nintendo Network officially launches on the 16th when Theatrhythm comes out in Japan, too, and that we may potentially see first Nintendo Network detailed for the west at the GDC, we could potentially have accounts and logins set up on the new network with some little badge or achievement systems and our Miis on there within the next few months, by the end of winter or perhaps sometime in the spring. I wouldn't be surprised if they set things up for us to watch E3 content and the conference itself through Nintendo Network too, whether through the 3DS or on your web browser - like their past E3 livestream and content page networks - and perhaps doling out little E3 2012 badges to users who watch their conference and otherwise check out the new media, demos, and offerings on their E3 network once the Nintendo Network is fully rolled out and we're all using it. I suspect the next big 3DS firmware update will be bringing Nintendo Network, presumably username connection - though I don't expect we'll lose friend codes on our Nintendo portables entirely until the 3DS's successor launches many years off - and more. As it stands, there is already a username and login system on the only Nintendo Network website in Japan, for their 3D Photo Contests. Through that, you can see what photos people have uploaded for the latest contests and view simple profile pages displaying their uploaded photos. Presumably, the aesthetic layout used for that can be taken as a preview of what our official Nintendo Network webpage, profile pages, and user login will be like when all these things launch in the coming months. From what I've seen firsthand, they're simple, but nice.

Anyway, I'm getting off-topic, and I've been fairly redundant after all the good things others have said here. Miis good, enough said.

I honestly don't know what you meant by your "online that doesn't treat everyone like five-year-olds".

I think he meant how the friend codes work on the system.

Needs The triggers though.

And as we've already stated, Iwata has said the idea for the Wii U has been in progress since the Wii came out.

So...2006 or 2010?

I'm not disputing which company worked on what first - I'm saying that bashing another company because the other did something first is uncalled for, especially considering we don't know how long Sony has worked with the idea. It's a lot like bashing Sony's Move simply because it came out second when the fact of the matter is that they've been working with motion controls for some time too.

To argue that one company is bad because it copies from another is simply dumb. The fact of the matter is: Everyone does it. This is especially prevalent with technology, where one imitates and improves upon the original product. Putting down Sony so we can proclaim Nintendo as the "innovator" is unfair.

Lets just hope this doesn't happen, because that would be a bunch of BS for Sony to come around and say "Hey look at this new innovative controller we made all by ourselves."

As I've already stated above, Sony has apparently been working on this for a few years already. It's a bit unfair to call Sony unoriginal just because Nintendo showcases it first.

I dunno guys. This was patented back in 2010 guys. It says so right there in the article.

Nintendo and Sony were probably both working with the same idea - Only Nintendo made it public first.

This is a short story I wrote for my Language Arts. I just wanted to share it.


Oreawesome: a story about Oreos



I stare.
My mouth waters.
It silently screams at me to stuff those beautiful, circular, perfect, scrumptious pieces of heaven into my mouth.
But I can't.

Well, maybe I could just...
No, I can't.
I lean forward as far as I can without the Oreos going up my nose. I will the delectable, creamy treats to toss themselves into my mouth. Then, I wait.
And wait.
And wait.
And wait.
And wait.
THIS IS SIMPLY UNBEARABLE! Finally, I give into my temptation and grab the plate. I hold it in both hands, eyeing the cookies. I notice their intricate designs carved so carefully by machines into the chocolatey surface. The letters taunt me. O-R-E-O. O-R-E-O. I tilt the plate slightly. The plate is now resting on the edge of my lower lip. A single Oreo begins to slide off of the tiny mountain toward the edge of the plate-the edge resting on my mouth. I open my mouth, egging it on. Soon, its friend follows it down toward me. I tilt the plate farther, farther--until the cookies are in my mouth.
I crush my jaws down powerfully, smashing the treats into a billion tasty shards. The chocolatey taste swirls around in my mouth, binding my tongue in a straitjacket of creamy, chocolatey delight. I flip and twist in a blissful world of scrumdiddilyumptiousness.
Until I hear my mom's voice ask,
"What are you doing?"
End.

Critiquing is welcome!

Yeah, there where really grown up games on the Atari that little kids should never see.

Need I say more....

*Flexes*

So glad I'm not American.
