Reggie: "And I would like to end this conference and thank all of the NeoGAFers who participated in the Reggie Throughout History thread on NeoGAF. I would also like to say all of it is true, I transcend time and space and have been in every major event in history. I am immortal, there can be only one."

Awesome, u gave me another idea :) Every second helps pass the time!

oh yeah and SMASH BROS 3 better be ONLINE.

If that EGM quote about the Wii always being online is true, I imagine pretty much every first party game will have an online component.

Wow, I can't believe we're going to see next-gen Mario and Zelda: TP in just a few hours. Awesome day!

I wonder what wll happen to this forum if they announce a $399 pricetag or something.

Didn't they say before that it wouldn't be above 300? Which likely means a 250 price tag.

Nintendo has never released a console above the 200 dollars price tag why would they start now? $200 is my bet.
 
I wouldn't mind $250 if the final specs are considerably better than what IGN reported or there's something else very significant in the box that would justify such a price.

old info? (sorry with so many threads going on :p)
From pics of the Nintendo E3 stands, it seems there were slight minor changes to the Wiimote..
a and b buttons have been replaced by 1 and 2, and start and select by + and -...

its from french site Puissance Nintendo

Scroll down and you'll see a DS stand and a wiimote projection with the changes :)

That's interesting, they're going to have to update all the virtual console games.

Assuming you actually meant a and b and not A and B anyway.

The fact that the revolution controller has a speaker is actually pretty cool the more i think about it. The way the described was that it tells you it's your turn and things like that which is lame... but the controller making lightsaber sounds, the bow and arrow example they gave and the sound effects can really turn out to be cool. The irony is that the sound effects where always there.. at the TGS demo.

Is it possible to watch the Gamespot stream with an external player?
or ign for that matter?

I ask for ign as im assuming ign has a 500k stream according to their options?

Pfff

"Welcome to the game tutorial. Move your controller to the right."

"...your other right"

Hilarity!

I'm betting on (and hoping for) a $200 pricetag. I can't imagine it possibly costing more than $250, though.
The only way I can see it being over 250 is if it comes with 2 controllers and a game. Which would be cool.

1 HOUR and 40 MINUTES LEFT!!!

I would quickly disconnect from the Internet, turn off the router and seal the telco jack until the Tsunami wave has passed.

What's your reason? I can't use the Windows Media Player because it's an old version and I won't install a newer because I never use it. There has to be a link for the stream you can open in another player. Or at least a site which doesn't use MP.
 
Would people still find $250 expensive to purchase the Wii if launch games included a new Mario game and Super Smash Brothers Online?

I think the launch games alone would be the determining factor for me whether I find $250 too much to purchase the Wii for.

I think if it includes a second controller and something playable, $250's not bad at all.

The sound is the probably substitute to force feedback (because it uses a LOT of energy). When you use the sword agains another, use feel the Wiimote vibrate AND you hear a sound. This paralise you psychologically and you have the illusion af a real battle.
But it is only a possibility.

Actually the speaker used for sound effects could be REALLY cool.

I see what you and others are saying, but even if it doesn't include a second controller and game, don't you think must have games like Mario or Super Smash Brothers Online would sway you to buy the console at $250? I know it would be a rippoff, but I definitely would tempted to fork over the cash.

if it launches with mario and ssbo, i think the only price people wouldn't buy this at is 499-599.

As if I needed a reminder of how much i love nintendo, I just dropped by DS from 5 feet onto a marble fireplace and it still works perfectly. That could have ruined my day.

Bring on the show!

$250 is NOT the price.. they just said that it's an acceptable price. One thing I did notice is that on the plastic cover thing that the issue was in, it says that they revealed "some" of the secrets of the wii in the issue... which basically makes you wonder, is there anything else we don't know that will be shown?

SMASH BROTHERS IS NOT A LAUNCH TITLE.
 
Smash Bros and Metroid Prime being saved is probably one of the best decisions Nintendo have made in awhile. Both games can be made much better with extra months shine on them, and it keeps the releases flowing.
 
Mama Smurf said:
Why are we still talking about Smash Bros at launch? Do we not believe EGM?
FoneBone said:

I clearly must have missed the EGM thread, the last I heard I thought it was still on. My mistake. Scratch Smash Brothers online and replace it with Zelda:TTP with wiimote capabilities.

I'm just wondering if Gamespot or Gametrailers is the best for streaming? Anyone know off-hand?
