Separate forums? Probably not, maybe something called New-Gen Gaming (seeing as they are no longer the next gen).

I am looking forward to picking up my Wii on Sunday morning, and then heading to pick up Twilight Princess. I have been a Zelda fan ever since I played the original game on my NES. Nintendo has a lot of great companies making games for them, and it seems many more are interested in developing for the Wii, which can only be good.

I love the fact that they are embracing ultimate backwards compatibility, by re-releasing great classics for those of us who's old Nintendo consoles kicked the bucket. I can't wait to start playing some old NES/SNES games again. Sure, I could go download them and play them on my computer, but that takes away from the games (not to mention the legality issues). The old NES/SNES/N64 games were not meant to be played on a keyboard.

I've never bought a console at launch before, mainly because I could not afford them. Now that I have a full-time job, sure, I'll have less time to play it, but I will enjoy the time I spend on it. And I would much rather buy a console thats 1/2 the price of its competitors, especially one from Nintendo.

I didn't get my first last-gen console until a few years ago. I bought a Gamecube when they came down in price, and it was bundled with an awesome Zelda collection. A year later, I traded it in for a PS2 and have enjoyed it just as much.

Graphics aren't as important to me as they seem to be to most gamers these days. Sure, they add more realism to a game, but I would rather play a 2d RPG with SNES style graphics and a great storyline than some of the newer games. Graphics shouldn't be what sells a game, I want something that will keep me wanting to play it to find out what will happen next, not just something that looks good.

People bash the Wii because it doesn't even match the graphical capabilities of the original XBox, but that isn't important to me. I don't have a TV that supports HD, so why do I need a console that will provide HD quality. Gaming on a 27" standard TV works for me.

I may pick up a PS3 in a year or two, once the price goes down. But for now, its all about the Wii.
