Zelda is hitting in Japan with the Wii...

But Nintendo SUCKS at localization (time - wise, the quality is always AAA)...

If they are finishing Zelda for their launch, maybe we have to wait for it to be translated into English? Hopefully not too long!

I want Zelda at US launch damn it!!!!!!!!!!

No, the team working on translating it is working very very close with Eiji Aonuma(cant spell)

 

[dairladada]

They can't **** up the US launch. So lower price point and Zelda. hopefully

 

[Avutta1978]

I don't know what to believe

if it's...

$250 + WiiSports + 2 nunchucks = i'm satisifed, not too bad
$250 + WiiSports + 1 nunchuck =

i agree with that.

 

[bob digi]

They better not sell the Wiimote and nunchuck seperate

2:13 a.m. EST [update 12]: Famitsu reports 16 titles from ten publishers at launch. Cost of games: 4,800 yen to 6,800 yen. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will cost 6,800 yen.

 

[John Harker]

those 16 titles... does that include Nintendos?

Thats lower the then 25 originally promised.

 

[Dracos]

Jesus why not sell the controller parts separately? You should be able to replace just the broken part with another not be forced to buy the whole thing again.

 

[Matt]

^-- exactly. No way would a boxing game get through with an E rating.

Don’t be crazy. All 5 games will be in the US Wii Sports.

 

[Version 3.0]

I was afraid of that. Oh well.

Wave Race better be with it!

I agree...although I've seen them listed separately already (ebgames.com, I think). Wii Motor Sports Airplane, Wii Motor Sports Jet Ski...probably a mistake.

[artist]

Everybody is happy now that WiiSports includes Boxing until ...................... the screenshots are posted. :lol

 

[kojacker]

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

Are you shltting us? You can check the weather! There's a fudding weather channel!

You want the moon on a stick.

 

[polg]

so... is that it?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

those 16 titles... does that include Nintendos?

Thats lower the then 25 originally promised.

That's probably because most of the Western games (ie. Ubisoft's 7-8) won't be launching in Japan. We'll probably get 25-ish.

 

[TheGreatDave]

25 was before the end of the year, not at launch.

They are selling them seperately.

 

[cae]

We need a ZOMG NEW AMAZING GAME or sumthin...

 

[Doogdogg]

the kenji is the same = both launch titles!?!

 

[sprsk]

I wish people would stop damage controlling in this thread.


Anyway, boxing is a big omg yes. The japanese price is totally doable, the nunchaku not coming with the wiimote is kind of a bummer though.

What the **** are you talking about?

Ocarina of Time was released in the US and Japan within TWO ****ING DAYS of each other.

 

[BorkBork]

Is it me or is this conference bouncing all over the place?

 

[PantherLotus]

2:16 a.m. EST [update 13]: Gemaga reports Wii Sports will not be a pack-in game, but will cost 4,800 yen and include five sports games.

 

[MasterMFauli]

It gets worse and worse. Negaton, indeed.

How?
Besides the late launch-date, everything is fine.
Wii for 250$ with WiiSports?
Count wiiSports as a 30$-game, then Wii costs around 220$, that´s not a bad price.

 

[king zell]

After it is announcement of price and sale day, the presentation of the software. The professional tennis prayer, Sugiyama love and the national beauty girl contest champion, it received the forest red lead red lead in the guest, 'the tennis of Wii sport' and 'Wii the head private school (temporary subject)' with opposed softly. The tennis on end of the fierce battle, Miyamoto lowered Sugiyama love. As for “clearly practice insufficient (laughing)” with Sugiyama love wry smile.

 

[Dracos]

They are selling them seperately.

Yes I know. Some people were complaining about it though.

 

[ELS-01X]

What about Zelda GC? :'(

I´m hoping for some new movies on www.wii.com

[Mr. Pointy]

Seriously, the US gets the Wii and 5 games (including the spiritual successor to Punch Out) for $249. If you think this is a ripoff, you clearly are a terrorist.

 

[bob digi]

But you need 2 Wiimotes to box.

Spoiler

Clever Nintendo clever

 

[lethial]

What the hell:lol

Buuuuuurrrrning innnnn my skiiiiinnnnnn, these wounds they (wiiiiii)llllll not heee-ahhhlllll.

 

[mCACGj]

YEAH! WHAT THE ****?!?!

WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOMETHING CALLED THE WII?!?! THAT'S SO DUMB!

 

[Enron]

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.

Bwahahahahaha. I guess I am a bad person. BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Take that, fanboys.

This night of bad Wiinews makes me all tingly.

WIIPWND.

JAPAN GETS NUKED AGAIN

 

[John Harker]

Cool. Its been an hour - is it over?

All in all... I'd say good show. No major dissapointments, nothing really shocking (besides late release date kind of sucks).

Everything was about on par though. Glad all people with

reasonable

expectations will be satisfied.

12/2 in Japan is odd

$250 dollars is far too close to the 360 price. I can't believe I bought into that $170 price at one point.
