All the Geeks Love Wii

Posted by Geezer as Consoles, Event Coverage, Gaming, Random Thoughts, Wii, e3 2006

e3 2006 has started and if the headlines on Digg are any indications, all the geeks love Nintendo most. Whether it’s Nintendo’s forthcoming Light Gun or video footage of Mario Galaxy Gameplay or even the Wiimote’s Doppler Effect, the Geeks all seem to be Nintendo fanboys (just like us at Gadzooki!).

We’ll see if the Geek likability factor turns into sales this time around, or whether Nintendo’s Wii is just another sexy idea handled without proper execution. One thing’s for sure: the Geeks Love Gadgets and Nintendo Wii has Gadgets Galore.

Update: Another front pager on Digg: Nintendo Wii Virtual Console Images
Update 2: Another front page Digger: First Super Smash Brothers News for Wii
Update 3: Yet another Nintendo front pager: Take a Tour of Nintendo’s E3 Booth
Update 4: Wired Trashes Sony For Lack Of Innovation
Update 5: XBox 360 Gets Some Props for Gesture Recognition

Note: It is worth pointing out that almost all the Digg stories from e3 on XBox 360 & PS3 are lukewarm to negative.

Note 2: All of the updates mentioned above happened sequentially, without a single positive Digg sotry on PS3 or XBox 360

Whether it was the motion sensing controller, new game mechanics, a new version of Duck Hunt or the Wii’s built in microphone, the response from the e3 crowd was huge and perfectly tracked the geek crowd over at Digg.

The 3G iPhone

I’ve had 3G on my Nokia N95 enabled since I got it – which is about a month or two ago now. I was thus surprised to learn that the iPhone didn’t include this much faster way to connect to the Internet. Consequently, I wasn’t exactly surprised when Steve Jobs big announcement turned [...]
