I know this is off topic, but what with Squeenix's DS stuff today, its impossible for me to be depressed...

$250 allows them to be more affordable than the competition while giving them some room to reduce the price as the years go on. It also gives the perception of a quality product to the mainstream who might think anything cheaper = children's toy.

25,000 yen

WHAT ?

 

[wrecktify]

250.000yen?

 

[Dracos]

10 VC games a month disappointing? 60 games lame?

WTF are you guys smoking? 360 has been out almost a year and hasn't provided a fraction of that amount of playable download content.

 

[artful_dodger]

Riiiiight... which is precisely why your expectations were out of whack and why 60 is excellent.

Well, Ninty certainly knows how be the puppet master, and *cough* some people certainly know how to be the puppet. Personally, unless they give me online rankings or mp, I'm going to pass on most of the VC titles.

 

[ronito]

So uh wait....if it's being released in Japan 12/2 then what are the chances of Zelda still being a launch title for NA?

 

[PantherLotus]

1:55 p.m. [update 8]: And the other shoe drops. Famitsu is reporting a December 2 launch and 25,000 yen price for Japan

 

[crunker99]

I have no clue if this is true. It's just been repeated about 100 times on 2ch in the last 5 minutes.

its true, famitsu posted it

 

[Dwayne]

I don't see how.

In the same way that if Xbox 360 backwards compatibility was 10 titles a month...and then you had to rebuy the games to play them.

 

[mj1108]

December in Japan???? WTF???

 

[MiamiWesker]

12/2 25,000 yen for Japan?

Are you asking us something or is that new info?

 

[Hero]

Nintendo is gonna launch in North America before Japan again. Japan GAFers am cry.

 

[Juice]

What's with all this unsavory news?

....


It's almost like Nintendo has started copying Sony

*dies a little inside*

 

[Neko Tsukimi]

I'll be okay ;_; It's only a little longer...

 

[ant1532]

Finally its getting more interesting

GAF lives in a prepetual fantasyland of high expectations.

December??? What about North America?

HA!!! I win then!

 

[Gorgie]

Lauching in America first?! They really are trying to copy the success of the DS.

And most importantly it gives me a kickass multiplayer game and (hope hope hope) another controller out of the box.

25,000 yen

No, we can't have any of this...

 

[Zerodoppler]

How the **** do you figure? Did you think they were going to blow their load all at once?

They can do one game every day. With 10 releases/month we will have to wait for ages before the ususal repacked classics are out of the way.

 

[Ganondorf>Link]

The 25,000 yen includes tax.

Weird.

 

[katana]

25000 yen = $212.72 ?????

 

[pilonv1]

GAF lives in a prepetual fantasyland of high expectations.

I remember people thinking the VC titles would be free.

 

[ethelred]

Well, Ninty certainly knows how be the puppet master, and *cough* some people certainly know how to be the puppet. Personally, unless they give me online rankings or mp, I'm going to pass on most of the VC titles.

I'm a puppet because... er, what? A lot of games at launch and a consistent stream of them afterwards. Eh, **** off.

They can do one game every day. With 10 releases/month we will have to wait for ages before the ususal repacked classics are out of the way.

After 3 months, that'll equal 50 games... at six months we'll have 80 games. How many of the "usual repackaged classics" are there?

 

[dairladada]

It's going to be between $200 and $229 here then. Good.

 

[artful_dodger]

10 VC games a month disappointing? 60 games lame?

WTF are you guys smoking? 360 has been out almost a year and hasn't provided a fraction of that amount of playable download content.

Yeah, but at least they are ADDING content to the rehashed games. If this is just straight emu, it really is not that great.

 

[Yamauchi]

Nintendo wins Japan.

 

[Ford Prefect]

WTF @ December 2nd?!?!?!

 

[mj1108]

December??? What about North America?

Nov 19th -- early indications

 

[John Harker]

Dec 2nd... thats what you get for not having a Thanksgiving ha!

ok anyway... yea.... uh, games now?

 

[RSP]

WTF TOO LATE BOZO'S

Wow for once its the US getting the expensive end of the stick.

 

[cvxfreak]

Was anyone here complaining 2 years ago?

Wow for once its the US getting the expensive end of the stick.

Same thing with the DS... 2 years ago! (well almost)

 

[mutsu]

December =

 

[Grampa Simpson]

I wonder how many attendees of the NY conference we can get to boo Reggie at the price announcement.....

 

[pxleyes]

 

[VultureDude]

So uh wait....if it's being released in Japan 12/2 then what are the chances of Zelda still being a launch title for NA?

as a japanese a japanese launch title 100%

 

[Barf_the_Mog]

Why is Nintendo releaseding their console in America first when their brand is stronger in Japan? They did this with the DS, also, and look what happened - 10 million units vs 5 million sold.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

japan got owned? woah so Zelda is late

 

[ZeoVGM]

I know this is off topic, but what with Squeenix's DS stuff today, its impossible for me to be depressed...

we have a winner

 

[mr_sockochris]

December??? What about North America?

There's a US conference for that tomorrow.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

25000 yen = $212.72 ?????

 

[Avutta1978]

[Busaiku]

And the other shoe drops. Famitsu is reporting a December 2 launch and 25,000 yen price for Japan.

November 20 for North America confirmed?

 

[Link648099]

It's going to be between $200 and $229 here then. Good.

How can you say that after all the articles about the price here just went up? I mean, I will be pwned if they were all wrong, and so will they, but it looks likely

 

[castle007]
