The Nintendo Wii international press conferences thread

[DHG Otaku]

That's fine, as long as you're okay with people disliking the ideas that a future product says that it is going to have.

you should take the advice of your own sig. well the last part of it.

as for wii, i'll wait for the bare bones 199 edition. by then if i want wii sports, it's sure to be no more than 10 bucks.

Supposed to come with a hybrid composite / component cable like X360.

that'll save me a few bucks, at least

WiFi only.

seems like an odd choice, but i probably should get with the times and go wireless anyway, and this just gives me one more reason to do so

Gameplay is everything bozos

[marwan]

but not many people are going to bitch about $50.

too late, the sandy vaginas on TNL are already bitchin' about it.

i can't believe how fuckin' cheap most of you guys are, the damn system is only $250, while the xbox is $400 and the PS3 is $500/$600.

if you guys are complaining about spending $50 then maybe you shouldn't be playing game to begin with!

you guys are making me sick!!!

The only thing that matters are the games. If it weren't true, you wouldn't still play your older systems. Please keep that in mind.

Also, look at the articles on all of the positivity from third party developers. They all seem genuine in their interest to develop for the system, and it's sparking creative ideas from them. This is the key to making the industry stronger. Just making things prettier won't bring people to gaming. Innovation will. DS works. Why won't Wii? Development costs will be much cheaper, and even older franchises will be reinvigorated with the control scheme.

Don't diss it until you've tried it. I see nothing but positives.

I normally do not agree with Marwan, but damn is he right. Its still cheap, and if memory serves ... back in the E3 thread most of the people were content with 250 or less ... hence the Wii60 av's and shit.

I agree with everything you said. Best post ever!

[Diff-chan]

He's not right. You can't compare two items, X and Y, and say, well, Y is more expensive so X's price is good. It just makes no sense. That's one of the most blatant fallacies in consumerism I can imagine. Yet unsurprisingly, people do it all the time!

[Schlep]

For the people saying it's only $50, that's missing out on a game or two to get the Wii. Price isn't much of a factor to me, but I can see why people are upset about it.

In response to Diff,

Fair enough. But I wasn't saying "Oh the Wii is better just cause of the price." I actually like the idea of a controller like this. Playing FPS's will further immurse you into the game ... if they do it right. I really like Madden's gameplay aspect though. That's why. PS3 sure price is expensive, but none of the games have really wow'd me yet(for the PS3). Serious.
