Owen Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 The Price is £169.99 and it's released November 3rd here! Thats my guess and i hope i'm right!
Blue_Ninja0 Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I don't like your price prediction. My bet is it'll cost 200€, just like the gamecube did.
DiemetriX Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Nintendo UK boss David Yarnton has relayed that news of the Wii being launched on November 24th at a price of £149 are not far off, but they're definitely NOT RIGHT. Source: http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=9839
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Apparently IGN is to reveal a new game and peripheral tomorrow. http://gonintendo.com/?p=5412#comments
Owen Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Apparently IGN is to reveal a new game and peripheral tomorrow. http://gonintendo.com/?p=5412#comments IGN don't update the site on a saturday do they? Last i heard was it's today if it's going to happen....
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 IGN don't update the site on a saturday do they? Last i heard was it's today if it's going to happen.... Yes I think you are right. The news was posted yesterday.
Goron_3 Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 If you read the Letterbox on IGN, Matt replies in one of the answers by leaking some infomation, and i think he mentions a peripheral or something, before saying something like 'woops, that gave to much away'. He also says that they have ALOT of Wii info and exclusive games info...so much that they've already had to reject developers offering exclusive news/interviews. Finally, the news drought is over

Finally, the news drought is over I wish they'd just post it all. that mvc guess is wrong . see eurogamer for a nintendo quote dismissing it They said it wasn't that far from the truth though...
ZeldaFreak Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 No more than £149.99 and latest date out is November 24th, that is according to MVC and trade mag I get delivered
Tellyn Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 http://www.wii-x2.com/index.php?id=270 From IGN forums I absolutely SWEAR to you all that you'll be getting the price, release date, list of games that will launch with the system, and a list of what comes with console itself on the 14th. You know the drill, though. I can't spoil who my source is as he would kill me. I've known him for 9 years, and I'd trust him with my life. He got into Nintendo (or more accurately, NST) in 2000, by taking the classes at Digipen and getting on from there, as many Digipen students do. I've seen how many people are complaining about how if Nintendo doesn't spill all on the 14th, they're going to be extremely upset, complete with the "Nintendo is stupid" rants and sudden lack of faith in the company. I can't sit back and let you people get upset over a lack of information at conference that is still six days away. You will get the information you want on the 14th. The price will not disappoint. The date will not disappoint. The games will not disappoint, obviously. What comes in the box might disappoint a few of you, though. Nintendo is going to pack in the console itself of course, with two Wii remotes and two nunchuck attachments. As far as my source knows though, you won't be getting the classic controller packed in. Nintendo will also be deciding on the 13th, the day before the conference in other words, whether or not to add an SD memory card to the list of things included in the box. To make up for the lack of the classic controller at launch, Nintendo is planning to pack in Wii Sports. The whole point behind the Wii is to get everyone in the family interested in gaming. Nintendo figures that two Wii remote and nunchuck controllers and Wii Sports will be an immediate hook for the audience they're aiming for. Many people remember those NES sports games as some of their favorite NES games. (RBI Baseball, anyone?) Nintendo is hoping to snag older fans back with this Wii Sports title. They're also hoping that older non-gamers (specifically, the parents that had kids that played games during the NES era) see the ease of the controller, remember that their kids played the NES versions, and gain an interest in Wii Sports themselves. If you don't believe me now, you will in six days. So sit back, play your Gamecube for a few final memories before you pack it away and replace it with the Wii, and be ready for the 14th. You'll all be very happy. Posted by Matt.
blender Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 so he tells us some major news after saying he cannot say anything. Anyway, I believe him 49.9% Two wii motes and wii sports. woohoo. don't need a classic controller as I am expecting the gamecube controller to be good for GC and N64 games. However, a classic controller in the standard kit would have been more enticing for tradiditonial games like Pro-evolution soccer. Not sure how these will play on a directional pad.
Tellyn Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I posted it here so as not to join the legions of canand and post a new topic for every bloody sentence someone says about Nintendo.
ShadowV7 Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 If the Wii came with 2 Wii-motes and Nun-chucks i'd be extremely happy and even maybe Wii Sports included will make it oh so much sweeter,assuming that this is true.
xernobyl Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Including 2 wii motes is the best thing nintendo can do for marketing it. People will prefer to play with someone than to have several diferent controlers. If Wii ships with 2 wiimotes and Wii Sports it will sell much more than if it comes with wiimote+classic controler and no games.
Tellyn Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I can see the sense in not including a classic controller, not everyone has Wi-Fi and can't use the Virtual Console.
Hellfire Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 How the hell are two controllers and games disapointing?
conzer16 Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 OK, so if this is what NOA will announce for launch what will be left for NOE to announce on the 15th? If they announce the same bundle, the price will definitely be different. Over €220 imo.
Phube Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 My only problem with 2 'Wii-motes' in the box, is that with my black Wii, I'd want one black wii-mote and one white one!! I want the choice!!!
Tellyn Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 It's now up on the main site. Any thanks to Tellyn888? No.
blender Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I am pretty sure that a standard traditional contoller will be included. Nintendo are sure to hedge that bets incase the wii mote bombs or is not suitable for all games. e.g. the DS had normal controls as the touch screen was just not that good for everything.
Shyguy Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 It's now up on the main site. Any thanks to Tellyn888? No. thanks my good friend
Goron_3 Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I think it should come with a SD Card. When you think about it, non gamers and older gamers just want to be able to play the console when they buy it; they don't want to be told that they have to go out and buy a memory card which costs more.

When you think about it, non gamers and older gamers just want to be able to play the console when they buy it; they don't want to be told that they have to go out and buy a memory card which costs more. its got internal flash memory (512MB I think). So a memory card is not needed for any known functions. Another reason why the article above is a load of rubbish.
The fish Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I think it should come with a SD Card. When you think about it, non gamers and older gamers just want to be able to play the console when they buy it; they don't want to be told that they have to go out and buy a memory card which costs more. I agree, but remember there is the flash memory. Talking for it, if something as small as an SD card can be 2GB or more, why can't a console's built in memory be bigger than 512mb? I hope you can put Cube saves onto the SD cards. Me and one of my friends make lots of TS:FP maps. Lots and lots and lots.
