Wii3: Apocalypse Redux

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.

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?
 
"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?

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

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

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?
 
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.

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. :-(

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?
 
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!
 
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?

Wii Sports (EAD) AWESOME!! :D :D
Wii Play (EAD) GREAT - loads of potential
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (EAD) - AWESOME!! :D :D
Excite Truck - maybe...
Wario Ware (SPD1) - AWESOME!! :D :D
great line-up imo, sold me on the console, especially wii sports. i also think they'll be really popular.

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.
Region-free ftw!
 
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.

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.

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

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