Support NeoGAF

[davepoobond]

In the box:
1 piece of Wii
1 Wiicon strap
1 Nunchuck controller
1 AC adaptor
1 AV cable
1 stand
1 support plate (dunno what this is)
1 sensor bar
1 sensor bar stand
2x battery (AA)

AC adaptor??

does that mean there's gonna be a power brickish thing after all?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I still bet $199 here in the US announced tomorrow in NY. Good Luck and Good Night or is it Good Night and Good Luck...

I bet you're wrong and you'll cry in a bathtub.

 

[castle007]

Ok nintendo WTF is wrong with you???


No second controller??

I hope the price difference is because there is going to be a 2nd controller in the US one.

 

[jj984jj]

No Wiisports in Japan version = $212

They should do the same here.

 

[mj1108]

AC adaptor??

does that mean there's gonna be a power brickish thing after all?

All it means is that you have to power it with electricity -- not Pikmin.

 

[RSP]

Classic controller $15? that is awesome!

 

[Wario64]

Wiimote and nunchuck sold seperately wtf

 

[crunker99]

waht kind of pack in av cable???

anyone know? does it say

 

[StephaneC]

no wii sports ? wtf

 

[Hero]

Only one remote?! WTF? No Wii Sports for Japan in the box?

 

[SumGamer]

Just wait people all the press remove their link to the price-included-article already. Wait until Iwata's word.

 

[Amir0x]

Well, no 2nd controller back to disappointmentton

 

[ronito]

My gosh outside of the VC stuff this whole thing is just piling bad news on top of bad news.

$250?!!
Well at least it'll have a game
What?! Wii Sports?!!! That's a tech demo!
Oh well at least it'll have two controllers.
Only one Controller?!!!
And it's $32 to buy another one?!!
What's next Zelda's not a launch title?

 

[Cheesemeister]

本体同時発売 = On sale at the same time as the console

 

[cvxfreak]

Excellent price on the Classic Controller.

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

So that they can afford to make it cheaper in their strongest and most important market... Basicly we are eating it so that nintendo can attack sony more aggressivley in japan.

Long term it's probably a smart move... The key for nintendo is to take japanese support away from sony this gen. That's their path to market dominance (if things went perfectly).

It is a little overpriced for us though... I hope there are 2 SKU's unless it comes with multiple controllers.

They pretty much have to target Sony in Japan. Microsofts price point doesn't matter to them there since the system doesn't sell anyways. $250 bucks looks alot better when compared to $600.

 

[king zell]

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Well, no 2nd controller back to disappointmentton

Dude, Japan info.

 

[Zeenbor]

It's a fuggin rollercoaster tonight!

 

[Maridia]

Well, no 2nd controller back to disappointmentton

Uhhh... no WiiSports either...

This news has no bearing on the US

 

[Terrell]

:lol at people who think 25,000 yen means less than $250 in the US

Why shouldn't it be?

NES, SNES, N64 and GCN weren't priced by dividing the yen by 100, as they shouldn't be since product pricing in Japan pre-includes tax.

 

[Juice]

battery included? awesome

You're right, they're practically giving the ****ers away. Are they OUTTA THEIR MINDS OR WHAT?

 

[dairladada]

Frankly I don't give a shit about the price personnaly. I care about getting more titles on the Wii than we had on the Gamecube. If I want 'brown' games, I have a 360 and will have a PS3. But for real fun and innovation, there is only Nintendo.

Zelda Boom

 

[Attack You]

What the hell:lol

Stop posting my Livejournal!!!! (cuts self)

 

[pilonv1]

Only one remote?! WTF? No Wii Sports for Japan in the box?

That would explain the price discrepency, plus the market there is more likely to be receptive of the Wii after the DS. Western markets could use the pack in to help people get used to it.

 

[PantherLotus]

2:06 a.m. EST [update 10]: The press release is up. It lists the contents of the Wii box: Wii console, Wii remote (w/ strap) Nunchuck attachment, Wii AC adaptor, Wii A/V cable, Wii console stand(?), sensor bar, sensor bar stand and two AA batteries.

 

[GhaleonEB]

本体同時発売 = On sale at the same time as the console

In Japan.

 

[Rlan]

Selling nunchuck and Wiimote seperately? What the hell?

[Though there probably will be a full controller too with both, those being in case one gets broken?]

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

本体同時発売 = On sale at the same time as the console

Ok. At least this...

 

[Father_Brain]

Well, no 2nd controller back to disappointmentton

Japan != US. I still expect two controllers for the US, if Wii Sports is actually a pack-in.

 

[Boards of Canada]

You don't get a Wiimote with the console in Japan? Huh?

 

[gjb-sensei]

:lol

 

[Yamauchi]

 

[castle007]

40 bucks for Wii sport. Japan got owned big time. But it will sell like crazy. Smart move by nintendo

 

[Avutta1978]

Well, no 2nd controller back to disappointmentton

never are satisfied are we

 

[neoanarch]

You're right, they're practically giving the ****ers away. Are they OUTTA THEIR MINDS OR WHAT?

/sarcasm

 

[SumGamer]

本体同時発売 = On sale at the same time as the console

WooHoo!!

 

[cvxfreak]

Looks like that's why Japan's is cheaper. They have to pay $40 for what we Americans must buy.

 

[koam]

Matt has confirmed the $250 price over at the ign boards.

 

[Hero]

Ah, Wii Sports is a more budget priced 4800 yen.

Yes, this makes sense. Japan is more likely to accept Wii Sports bad graphics and buy it as a seperate SKU title. In America they're going to package it with the Wii because us Americans are shallow. Huzzah!

 

[John Harker]

So the japenese version is cheaper and doesn't come with Wii Sports.

This uh.... makes sense people. Whats the problem?

If Japenese system = 215 and US system - 250 then simple math means Wii Sports = 35

 

[cae]

I'm almost sure USA (and maybe Europe) will have different SKUs than Japan.

 

[crunker99]

Also [ronchitaitoru] of Wii became announcement. Simultaneously with substance from 10 corporations 16 titles in sale. 'Also [zeruda]' and 'Wii sport' etc are included in line-up. Furthermore 'as for [zeruda]', with including tax 6800 Yen. As for the price range of the software, the possibility that it becomes 4800 Yen ~6800 circle.


from famitsu, seems to indicate both zelda nad wii sports avilable at launch

 

[pilonv1]

40 bucks for Wii sport. Japan got owned big time. But it will sell like crazy. Smart move by nintendo

More like everyone else owned who doesn't get forced with Wii Sports. So it probably is a $200 console with a $50 pack in game.

 

[castle007]

Is that nintendo's stock over the last hour??? :lol

 

[Joe Molotov]

My heart is sinking and I'm going to break out in tears... God this is a nightmare of epic preportions to me.

ROFLTON! No matter how much the Wii costs, it'll be worth it for that. :lol

 

[StephaneC]

wii sports 4800 yen its a joke

 

[ethelred]

never are satisfied are we

Aside from the VC stuff, there's no reason to be satisfied with this news.
