Posted July 26, 2006 I don't think the Wii will be region free. It's not a big thing that the DS because all the gameboys were. She also skillfully avoids answering the region free part of the question entirely. I think from the way she's worded it that it's looking like a no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 27, 2006 *RUMOR* Ready to Rumble gets back in the ring? I remember playing Ready to Rumble on my Dreamcast, and thinking that graphics were mind-bending. I also remember thinking that the game was…meh. The series kind of disappeared after the 2nd entry…or so we thought. Rumor is that Ready to Rumble Round 3 is in the works exclusively for the Wii. The game is in development by a “larger American developerâ€, and we should be hearing news on it very soon. Obviously, you would be using both of your hands as virtual fists in the game, pummeling the hell out of your on screen opponent. Perhaps this is one of those new games rumored to pop up at LGC?

" Source: Unknown Ok, the source is unknown, but were did you personally see this? Also, an SDK included? I severely doubt it, but it would be a nice extra. AND,, Sega saturn games? They've never been able to emulate one properly before due to the dual core, so I doubt that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2006 if sega saturn available on VC that would ROCK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2006 That looks pretty real, but anyone can guess stuff like that. I would be happy with that price. If that's true I'll get the package with WiiSports and the 2 controllers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2006 Sega Saturn would be good but worldwide all in one day,I doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2006 Sega Saturn would be good but worldwide all in one day,I doubt it. If anyone can do it, its Nintendo..... Prices seem about right, and I like the 2 SDK's. Im a bit unsure about the date though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2006 All in one day? I didnt notice that bit. No fucking way, I incredibly doubt this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2006 Just found this : Apparently Virgin Megastores in Eu and some other stores are getting a Wii Countdown clock installed,whether it will be turned on tomorrow or when Nintendo release the date is not know as of yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 14, 2006 Back from holidays So is...tomorow? I was expecting something more than just a few clocks, but that is already cool... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2006 Man, if all that's true i will be well happy. i doubt that they will be activated straight away. nintendo wont let the release date out until they want to be heard.... wait for leipzig! only a little over a week now. and i just wanna note on the 'release in a day thing'... although this sounds stupid. which it is. very. it would also mean that australia would get a jump on the rest of the world! (AEST +10hrs) and that is not going to happen. i swear, we must pay other countries to be behind in technology and be all charming and the like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2006 500 VC games at launch. thats a bit of a stretch, im expecting less then 100 at launch with more every month or so other wise the brand new vc games will just get lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
