Good to see Nintendo treating Europe fairly for once.

I think they realise this could be one of their strongest markets for the Wii with all the Eyetoy/Singstar/Buzz/DDR loving that goes on over here.

 

[Amir0x]

Wii Aerobics.. is vaporware!!!!

aren't you supposed to know these things Mr. EX-EAD Ninja.

 

[Rocked]

Wii Aerobics.. is vaporware!!!!

I think the girl lifting a weight on the poster was for Wario Ware. :lol

 

[VOOK]

No Component

 

[MMaRsu]

Wii Aerobics.. is vaporware!!!!

It was never announced so ... NO

 

[nubbe]

No games were announced for Europe?

 

[SpeckledTheBowl]

For europeans who still feel getting raped (me included) :

€249 = €200(minus 20% tax) = $253.

249€ minus 20% tax would be 207.50€.

No.

Yes.

 

[Frankfurter]

No.

... you do know that 249€ in this case is not 100% but 120%, do you?

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

Confirmed cables for Europe so far:

- AV Stereo (composite)
- Component cable
- S-Video cable
- RGB cable

Don't know if there will be a Component-AV hybrid cable...

Is rgb better than component?

 

[MMaRsu]

"It'll be bundled with a second controller. Just like the Japanese 'My First Wii' package in fact. Zelda too, obviously Wario Ware will arrive 'just after launch'. "

So does that actually say EU will get a second controller or what?

 

[Fxp]

funny, i'm thinking the opposite.

If Wii NTSC will play my AUS Gamecube games, it'll be my first NTSC console.

Well, I haven't got a single PAL GCN game. Only US versions, imported from VPG, DBO and eBay.

no it says the Euro version of "My First Wii" will come packed with a remote like the JP version

 

[DECK'ARD]

Is rgb better than component?

No if you have a television capable of 480p.

Basically the same if you have a television that can't do that.

 

[Aft Dread Pressure]

RGB is the best thing you can get for a SDTV.
You'll want component if you have a HDTV though.

 

[sprsk]

I hope it comes in styrofoam like shit used to back in the day.

Wii Play (EAD)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (EAD)
Excite Truck

[Aurora]

What the fuck are they thinking. 8th December? £180!?!?

This is extremely hard to swallow.

Do you have a comprehensive list of all the games (including the 'announced unannounced' titles) that have been revealed thus far?

Is Wario Ware confirmed?!?!

 

[0OoO0]

Does anyone know if Twilight Princess (gamecube version) will be coming out in PAL territories?

Why don't we get Wii Play and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves at launch?

1 port. And maybe some effort in ET.

the rest are just so ... poor visualish. :S


Jesus. Did Gamecube have a better launch lineup?

 

[He Wants Chalupas]

Aw, no Metal Slug Anthology at launch. That was going to be my second game alongside Zelda. MP3 lol ) was also in consideration but if it's not out until net year then I guess not. Maybe I'll get Excitetruck if it's $40.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

What the fuck are they thinking. 8th December? £180!?!?

This is extremely hard to swallow.

They've marked the price up so that you can get Wii Sports packed in. Still wish it game with a second controller though. :-(

 

[callous]

No.

Yes, it would. 207.5 + 20% = about 249.

You don't just subtract 20% from 249 to get the tax.

 

[DECK'ARD]

What the fuck are they thinking. 8th December? £180!?!?

This is extremely hard to swallow.

30 quid more than expected, but pre-Christmas and with Wii Sports. Plus Wii Play. AND WARIO WARE!

For Nintendo Europe that's like a bloody miracle!

Seriously what happened to METAL SLUG ANTHOLOGY?

 

[ziran]

what i don't understand is why nintendo hasn't released any nice res, direct feed videos, and why so many of the press pics have such an odd resolution showing major jaggies when the battalion wars ones are in proper 480p and look great!?

i understand downplaying graphics but presenting them in a bad light is bizarre!

 

[Shard]

Seriously what happened to METAL SLUG ANTHOLOGY?

SMK must answer this.

 

[Pureauthor]

A year from now, I'm going to reread this thread and laugh.

And yes, I want Metal Slug Anthology. What gives, SNK?

 

[Screenboy]

Im just glad its lower than 200 quid and coming out this year.

 

[DECK'ARD]

I wonder why it's all quiet on the Smash Bros. front? Seeing as it's such a huge hype-generator.

To keep the spotlight on Zelda, or is there going to be a surprise thing a few days later like E3?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Why don't we get Wii Play and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves at launch?

A question that needs to be answered. I want both of those, especially Wii Play.

 

[ziran]

5 First-Party Games for Launch!

Wii Sports (EAD) AWESOME!!
Wii Play (EAD) GREAT - loads of potential
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (EAD) - AWESOME!!
Excite Truck - maybe...
Wario Ware (SPD1) - AWESOME!!

great line-up imo, sold me on the console, especially wii sports. i also think they'll be really popular.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Going all out for the mass of casual Euro partygame lovers me thinks.

 

[Pureauthor]

Because Wii Play and Warioware are actually games being released in Dec, as opposed to the American launch in Nov.

 

[Aft Dread Pressure]

Any word about GCN Zelda TP ?

 

[Pureauthor]

Odds are, it'll only go to NA.

Dec. 11 release date for GCN Zelda.

Spoiler

People who are afraid of change cry.

 

[Xzbeat]

Yes, it would. 207.5 + 20% = about 249.

You don't just subtract 20% from 249 to get the tax.

My bad... you're right. Still it's only 11/12$ more than the us price, there's no need to import.

Spoiler

Region-free ftw!

 

[Dracos]

Are we sure that Wii Play isn't bundled with the extra controllers in the US?

 

[MMaRsu]

Any word about GCN Zelda TP ?

I believe it's only coming to America...

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

Yeah, I think we will get Wii Play (with Wiimote) and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves mid December for Ninty's holiday games.

It may just be a case of Nintendo not want to overflood the launch line-up against UBI Soft who is pledging strong support.

Are we sure that Wii Play isn't bundled with the extra controllers in the US?

Wii Play isn't bundled with controllers, a controller is bundled with Wii Play. It is going to be more expensive than just buying a remote by itself.

 

[BooJoh]

Question...


If Wii is now launching in four territories this year with 4 million shipped worldwide, should we expect shortages?

Anyone? I'm not really up to speed on how hardware sales usually pan out at launches.

 

[jarrod]

1 port. And maybe some effort in ET.

the rest are just so ... poor visualish. :S


Jesus. Did Gamecube have a better launch lineup?

Luigi's Mansion and NST Wave Race... I'd have to say "no".

Seriously what happened to METAL SLUG ANTHOLOGY?

Ben Herman, I know you're lurking out there... speak up!

 

[Scalemail Ted]

I wonder how many console units Nintendo will ship out for launch?

 

[Aurora]

The announcements today far surpassed any horror I was prepared for.

America = £135 [19th November]
Australia = £160 [7th December]

...

UK = £180 [8th December]

What. The. Fuck.
What the fuck!?

That does make alot of sense. As long as it still comes out in the US before the end of the year then I guess its cool.
