i doubt europe will get it before japan.... but... 25,000.00 Japan Yen = 283.044 Australia Dollars A price that is very very nice indeed. Nick (Q&A magnifico) has been saying $299AUD for quite a while now. EDIT: 11:01 The nunchaku and classic controller will cost 1,800 yen each ($15). Extra Wii remotes will cost 3,800 yen each ($32).

c/o http://www.n-sider.com/newsview.php?type=story&storyid=2412 i do like the idea of a wii points card. http://www.n-sider.com/newsview.php?...y&storyid=2412

this is also quoted at ign. http://wii.ign.com/articles/732/732669p1.html they make it really sound like 'a friend of a friend of mine...' sorta thing.

nah, your cool man!!! friendly banter is the way of the forums! :p

there should have been a cd of sorts that came with the motherboard. the usb 2.0 drivers will be on that.

It's a joke man... settle settle. No need to pick holes in lack of punctuation... and adding capitals is easy. I can fix that for you as well! New York. London. Canberra. Melbourne.

not only did i beat you to it, i made it look good!!! :awesome: i would have posted on this thread earlier, but i was busy beating down the same post in the 'japan chat' thread!

its bullshit. here is a countdown timer to the conference http://www.n-sider.com/media/news-2006-09-13-wiicountdown.html also, read that guys profile. he hasnt made any entries up until now, he joined the news group in september (probably today). and apparantly he is cmon... thats the cheesiest thing ever. lock this thread please. im sure we can wait another hour.

this is bullshit. did you have a look at the guys profile??? he also became a member this month, and this would be his first entry posted. he hasnt yet posted any articles or seeded any links. lol, and his picture is so corny! well, only an hour and 20minutes to go. just hold your horses! :horse:

yer. prolly go and have lunch. sounds like an awesome idea! but dont worry guys, our end of the world will get screwed (for late nights) when it comes to the US and european conferences/, and they are the ones that REALLY matter to us.

haha. who cares! lets just see what happens!

you'll all be happy to know that its 1130am here in australia.: peace:

im keeping my eye on this site http://www.n-sider.com/index.php it looks to be a goodie... but we will see. anyway, if we see a kid icarus trailer, i will wet myself.

Paul Hogan?

my clock says it has been running for 9 minutes... whats a good site to monitor whats going on in the world of nintendo? like, with leipzig when people were getting the sms updates...

http://www.thursdayton.com/ this is a nice clock. someone posted it earlier. (cudos!)

im sure that any of the chucknorris/vindiesel humour can be applied to Reggie. in fact, im gonna indulge in some of that now... Gravity only affects Reggie for six hours out of every day. In order to gain lordship over Hell, Lucifer was forced to sell his soul to Reggie. The hair in your food is all part of a cruel joke Reggie is playing on humanity. Reggie is the reason you touch yourself at night An advanced alien race once created a computer that successfully explained the meaning of life; however, the alien race, their planet, and practically everything else ever to come in contact with them was immediately obliterated when they asked for an explanation of Reggie. Reggie regularly visits Africa, to have his penis cut off; since it grows with every glass of water he drinks. Reggie encases the souls of his enemies in the bodies of Golden Retriever puppies. Reggie can eat a piece of coal and shit out a diamond. Paradoxically, half of Reggie equals one Reggie. This means that one quarter Reggie also equals one Reggie, and on and on forever. The Reggie that we perceive is the sum total of an infinite amount of Reggie's and his powers reflect this.

i know someone who is truly a hardcore gamer! i went to this games comp, and he got beaten in the first round and then became incredibly depressed about it. apparantly his life had lost meaning. wait!!! thats not hardcore! thats just sad! anyway. id post more on this but im too hungry to argue a point either way... guess that means im not hardcore because im not getting worked up enough about it....

i thought majoras mask was a more mature zelda title... but that was because of the whole apocolypse feel to it. if twilight princess manages to pull off the same feel, i will be delighted. and yeah, when you are out of your teens, and no longer bound by ESRB ratings, i find that you dont even look at them. i have NO idea what any of my games are rated (im sure killer7 has a higher number though...) and i just get them for the sheer fun of it. anyone who does buy games solely by the age rating on it probably should be tied to some railway tracks somewhere...

10:00:00 a.m. Friday September 15, 2006 in America/New_York converts to 12:00:00 Midnight Saturday September 16, 2006 in Australia/Melbourne 10:00:00 a.m. Friday September 15, 2006 in America/New_York converts to 02:00:00 p.m. Friday September 15, 2006 in GMT -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= c/o http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc midnight? oh man... i might be better off waiting until the morning. the conference goes for 6 hours, and there is no way in hell im staying up that last for that long, especially seeing as i only have dialup. this is the problem with australia existing in the future... bloody late nights!!! might just get up early saturday and see whats cookin. if the news is good, ill probably have breakfast and then head across to the local shopping centre and preorder my wii.

he once visited Myer in the melbourne CBD. this was when mario sunshine was being released. was pretty cool! they had a screen, and charles was sitting out back somewhere putting words into the mario character on the screens mouth. he then came out, and answered questions and signed stuff. my brother got his mario64 booklet signed, and i got a yoshi tshirt of mine signed. its a shame that he signed it 'mario' though, and not 'charles martinet', otherwise i might be paying ebay a visit.... dunno.

agreed@Pedro he is now totally contradicting himself. it sounds like a hardcore game is one that not many people play.... heh, and by my definition that would make it a shit game! by his definition, super monkey ball is hardcore, as would spongebob squarepants. which im sure is a VERY obscure game of which a small section of the gaming community (4 year olds) play. he is just backpeddling guys. probably doesnt like it when so many people question his ideas, this assumably comes with working for ign.

*cough* next fortnight *cough* the bolded part of this quote is very encouraging. it really seems that australia isnt gonna get boned with this new system! also seems that we most likely gonna get launch info at the end of this week. i am really liking nintendo australias approach to the wii. so good to see some sort of effort being put into the advertising. so i think this means im going to have to keep an eye on 'The Age' over the next couple of days. i believe that Thursdays Age is the one with the techy stuff in it.

i liked the CUBE magazine and i agree with those ratings! smash bros was a great game, which probably should have deserved higher, but mario sunshine was bollocks! starfox adventures was a shorter game, but it beats mario sunshine hands down!

that, my friend, is very cool. if i get some spare time (and if im drunk, and REALLY REALLY bored), i might even learn the dance... ahhh
