DuD Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Just thought, i've been playing alot of smash bros and therefore i'm mainly using the gamecube pad. So that'll be why my batteries are lasting so well at the moment
Retro_Link Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 We should call the Mainstream media up and tip them off that Nintendo is giving away condoms with their controllers. Haha, that'll teach 'em! Actually the next parental complaint against Nintendo will probably be from an angry mum whose daughter got pregnant using the Wii-dom for protection! So it'll come back and bite them soon enough!
marcel Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) get a knife and remove the fugly wii condom from the motion plus. (that is that its stuck inside the plastic wich i think its not.) Edited April 15, 2009 by marcel
Serebii Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/6072250/Wii-MotionPlus/Product.html I so hope this price and RRP is wrong...
Retro_Link Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 If correct, that's £60 we'll have been asked to fork out for a complete Motion+ controller, then there's the nunchuck on top of that!
Zechs Merquise Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I so hope that the motion plus isn't glued into that stupid condom thing. If it is removing it may damage it. I have never used the plastic cases and most of my ates don;t do the wrist straps either. What a load of crap.
ShadowV7 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Forcing you to use the wrist straps and glove = utter fail. Dunno why they insist on taking such measures to ruin the gameplay for folk.
david.dakota Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Apparently, since Wii's upgraded wrist strap and condom, Miyamoto is personally visiting houses to trash their TV's. http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/6072250/Wii-MotionPlus/Product.html I so hope this price and RRP is wrong... How much?! Is the country so fooked our carefree, all expenses paid leaders are happy for us to be gang raped by the Japanese?
Serebii Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I think its just Play.com's holding price...with the philosophy of "It's better to be over in the guess and have to lower than to be lower and have to follow through"
lostmario Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 So the add on costs the same as the Wiimote itself. How does that make any sense.
david.dakota Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 to be lower and have to follow through" If that price is genuine, i'll be the one following through.
James McGeachie Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 That better not be fucking true. That's the type of price I was expecting them to pull in a worst case scenario but that was BEFORE the US price was revealed. When $20 was announced I assumed we'd at least get £20. This would be a fucking insult to the fans beyond measure and it would not at all surprise me after the DSi's pricing.

James McGeachie Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Really? I swear I remember hearing that it was £150 here and less than that in dollars or something but I haven't really checked since the price details were released. The joke to me was the fact it was £50 more than a Lite for additional features that surely can't even close to warrant the price rise, even if it has "free" Nintendo points.
Daft Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I doubt the price is right. What about people with 4 controllers? No one is going to shell out £120. That's the same price as a 360. I'd be shocked if true.
Retro_Link Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) The DSi is $170 on Amazon.com, that's currently £115 + £20 [17.5% VAT] and it works out a bit cheaper. Edited April 16, 2009 by Retro_Link
Nicktendo Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Tax is only 6-8% in most states as well, so we are getting ripped off, by about £20 at least. On a DSi that is. £20 is surely the maximum they should charge for WM+. £15 would be lovely.
marcel Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 enough about the price there is nothing you can do about it, but i found some intresting picture: this picture suggest that the wiimotion plus will be coming in the skin BUT you can remove it if you want. (i think nintendo did this because some casual gamers are really stupid :P) Also i hope that wii sports resort contains more games than wii sports, and i also hope for a beach tennis and this time lets us have an option to control your character. Also hoping for some sort of online.
ShadowV7 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 We already seen that and bitched about it before Does it actually state anywhere you can remove it?
ShadowV7 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) The general assumption, aswell as rumours, say you need to have the glove on to use it, so it's more likely to go that way instead of being able to take it out. There's some hope! Edited April 16, 2009 by ShadowV7
david.dakota Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I wonder if Nintendo will be replacing Wii Remotes damaged with the constant transferring of Remote from condom, to Wii Wheel, back to Condom, to Zapper?
Retro_Link Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 To me that pictures suggests more that you can't just take it out, because it's wider at the base.
