Considering the prices of cell phone games or games on XBLA for that matter, people still pay $5+ for freaking Atari games or Tetris or games they own 10 times over.fresquito said:

Roll on tomorrow. I think it might end up a weird price, like £165 because of the Euro getting the nice round price.
I'm waiting to see what the UK price/date is, but if it's not too much later getting clobbered for VAT/import-duty isn't going to make importing worthwhile for once. It will be the first UK console I've bought ever I think!

Giants vs Seahawks went into overtime, 21-21. Giants kicker went for 3 field goals, and all he needed was one. That guy in the gif is Jeremy Shockey(i think) and he thought the field goal was a shoe-in, so he was celebrating, and then the kicker missed the field goal by very little.

Yeah, I hope it's at least 802.11g.Dimmuxx said:
I'm surprised it doesn't have a second wiimote/chuck or at least a classic controller thrown in for $250. It seems like this is going to be accessory rape over time. A year from now they are going to release a light gun that hooks on for $30.
I think the VC prices sound fine at $5 and $10 bucks. It would be nice if there were some cheaper options but I'd imagine the work and bandwidth required to host these makes that not really possible.
I think they would have been wise to have a bare bones $199 model, but maybe they are looking to soak up some extra profits through the Xmas season in NA by bundling in the wii sports game.

Um, they can make games for more than one system, I don't understand what "jump ship" is supposed to imply.thefro said:
Yea i already know about it(I actually am the one who posted the thread about it lol), but that pic is not from there, its from http://wii.nintendo.com/home.html which is down! nO!!!!SumGamer said:

Did everyone actually watch Iwata's keynote? I'm just now watching it and his explanations make more sense than my assumptions (at least with regard to the Japanese market). His demo of the built in channels was definitely impressive. Particularly the global weather channel, that'll be popular in Japan. Plus his explanation that the photo viewer might be most useful for bringing an SD card to grandma and grandpa's house to show them pictures. His case for Opera "now the entire family can explore the map together around the TV, as only one set of eyes can use Google Maps at a time on a computer"

What about Sega or Capcom's compilations like Sonic or MegaMan. Is selling them for $20-$40 rape also?fresquito said:

Because nintendo is already skimping out on specs, least they can do is throw us a bone on controller prices.

Well at least there is MP3 support :lol
Users can even add an MP3 tune to their slide shows.

That price is strategically good. As a customer, it sucks it suck a little bit.
Prospective buyers will see it for its unique interface not its graphics, so a $50 difference with the 360 will ultimately mean squat.
The hardcore will adopt early, the price will drop, game library will expand and the machine will erupt among the casual/mainstream market...just like with the DS...just like always.
The PS3 is priced out of the market for the conceivable future, mainstream adoption of that console is a long, long ways off. The 360 is deceased in Japan and a mess in Europe. Wii is priced slightly high, but quit the exaggerations, it is in the best position of the three IMO.
See, logical analysis done in one simple post.

Does anyone else think that third-party list through 3/31/07 is pretty unimpressive, SSX is nice sure, not a lot that really pops out at me.
fresquito said:
Yes but its the kind of rape that most fans would gladly bend over for. I mean if you never cared about NES games, yeah I can see why you would avoid, just like how I avoid $5 cellphone games cause I don't give a shit about them. But for us nostalgia-waxers, it sounds like a good idea.
Even at $5 a pop I am still going to try put together a complete VC library (of games by Nintendo that is, don't care about 3rd party stuff unless its like Enix or something). I am crazy/stupid, I admit.

no. reggie said it comes with all the necessary cables, but it's debatable if component is necessary. probably not, but no confirmation yet.Mrbob said:
there's still a chance.
I can understand those, since there's physical production, handling, transporting, and all that stuff. This digital downloads. 8 digital NES games will cost you 40$. Megaman compilation, if you were to download it would cost you more than buying the damn disc, with all the stuff.Benadryl Hitman said:

How do you save your virtual console games? To a memory card/stick? Is it something that you can keep forever??
