I can more than afford this crap. My problem is with the message. Stop saying that it's for the non hardcore gamer if it's a $370 for a family to play. THat's bullshit.

And I'll be upset if it's delayed to 2007 in the US. Neither is happening.Screenboy said:
No, but he quoted someone who said 480i; it's a worthwhile distinction.plagiarize said:
No. 1800 yen was for the nunchuk or classic controller. Wiimote is something like 3800.Son of Godzilla said:
From that capture it's clearly taking the low resolution image and blowing it up. Pointless.SolidSnakex said:

Box art looks simple. I like it.
I like it too, but not THAT like since this.
So lots of good news.
The bad news (some of which may have already been known)
Zelda Gamecube not until December (no biggie I'm getting the Wii version, but kind of a lowblow for people wanting the Gamecube version).
Virtual Console Games are more expensive then I expected. The "Starting at" pricepoint is what scares me.
1st party games are 49.99, 3rd party could be more.
Online integration seems very limited.
Overall though, I am more excited about the system then I was yesterday.

We're talking about Argos here. They know absolutely nothing when it comes to launch details.PowWow said:FFS it STILL says winter 2006 for me on the Argos website. Can someone just write what they're seeing thats differnet?.
Wait until tomorrow. EU launch = November
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were talking about their "March 2007" date. Winter 2006 is correct.

Now that I've had a good nights rest to digest things I guess my opinion is as follows:
Its typical Nintendo in my book in that I think that we are being gouged on the price. The technology in the system outside of the controller really doesnt seem worth that price .And while I agree that Zelda will be a better game than say Gears of War, the casual consumer who goes into best buy and sees Gears of War on an HD monitor and then sees Zelda on a standard TV will notice a difference I think graphically. Ultimately none of this will be the deciding factor but I think Nintendo had a chance to pull an early knockout and pulled the punch. They still might get the knockout in later rounds but it could have maybe been a one round early Mike Tyson deal with a few different decisions here.
Oddly on a personal note for some reason I've accepted everything except the late lunch date. For some reason that still bugs me. Why do I have to wait until after PS3? Grrrr..... Still buying a system day one.

Its hard to figure out exactly whats going on in all of this 66 page insanity. So all we know as of now is that it will be 250 with Wii Sports and Zelda is Wii only until December?

Jesus! Argos is shit yes, but they are still a big retailer across the UK. They have updated the launch date on the eve of NOE's announcement. Of course it could be wrong, but i'm still inclined to believe they have recieved info. If i'm wrong then i'll be happy

Enterprising Wii users better be able to ****ing plug in a hard drive from day one or the VC library is going to be pretty pointless to anyone really looking forward to using it.
Yeah yeah, I know 512k will hold plenty of NES games, but if you start throwing a bunch of n64 stuff in there, it won't take too long.

Probably an anti-piracy measure so you don't download, take card to a friend's Wii, and distribute your purchases.

No you can, she's said you can use flash memory, she's saying you can't use USB hard drives and stuff I think. Anyway it's 512MB internal, not 512k I thought and 1-2GB SD cards are cheap anyway so I don't see the problem.human5892 said:
On the wired blog though, it said that your VC purchases will be tied to your ID and you can redownload them at any time. If thats the case, you can basically just delete games off of the flash and then redownload whenever you want to play. Seriously, how long is going to take to download an snes or n64 game?
But I do agree, a harddrive, or even SD option would be nice. That way we won't have to even worry about redownloading.
