Official Nintendo Wii thread

If that free game promotion isn't just an AU TRU promotion, I will be really happy. Nintendo is usually pretty good about pack-ins, even though they didn't do it with the GCN until about 2 years into the console's lifespan.

I dunno if this has been said, but in Japan, the games for Virtual Console will be between 500 and 1000 yen.

Joust, stop being such an assho...

Oh wait, that was helpful. Nevermind.

With a neat compact design combined with state-of-the-art processing technologies the Nintendo Wii takes interactive gaming to a whole new level. The amazing wireless controller becomes a tennis raquet, baseball, golf club - practically anything! Now you can interact with your favourite games! Releasing in November.
Reserve your Nintendo Wii today with a $50 deposit and collect one free game for your console at launch.

The wording sort of makes it sound like you have a choice of game but the rest of the paragraph just describes Wii sports.

500 yen is about $4.50... I think $4.50-$9.00 is a little steep for older games.

N00b Question about Wii Connectivity with the DS.

Will the will only connect to the Internet via wireless? If not, could it be used as a wireless router to play games on DS wifi connection? If not, that would be gay.

[James]

At a guess, I'm willing to believe Nintendo wants people to buy the USB WiFi thingy they've got available. I'm willing to believe it works with Wii just like it works with the DS.

I hope they allow you to connect the Wii with a regular wired router. I don't want to go through the horseshit of setting up a wireless network.

Has anything been reported about the Wii being able to wirelessly synch with other Wiis for lan play ala the DS? Be nice if you could have Wii multiplayer without having to use a router at all.
