pedrocasilva Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 There is written news which is on IGN and Neogaf. Go back to the Wii Discussion area.they weren't when I first posted. The IGN info is not coming from Japan's conference though, probably NY Times. 1:22 a.m. EST [update 3] Gemaga has a picture of the event's MC, Japanese TV personality Miho Nakai. 1:27 a.m. EST [update 4] From Famitsu, Iwata is talking about how the DS has shifted the market in Japan. 1:32 a.m. EST [update 5] Iwata continues to talk about expanding the game playing population, making games for everyone, even non-gamers. Nothing new. 1:34 a.m. EST: [update 6] Iwata gives prices for virtual console games! 500 yen for NES games, 800 yen for SNES games, 100 yen for N64 games. Pay by credit card of Wii points card. Wii will play three MSX games (from Gemaga). EDIT: 500 Japanese Yen = ~3.347... Euro 800 Japanese Yen = ~5.356... Euro 1,000 Japanese Yen = ~6.695... Euro
Darv Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Cool. 500 Yen is a bit over £2. Hopefully it won't be too different in the UK.
BlueStar Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 500 yen for NES games, 800 yen for SNES games, 100 yen for N64 games Typo? *Whine, whine, the message you have entered is too short please fill the rest of your message with pointless crap which no-one wants to read, whine, whine*

pedrocasilva Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Typo? *Whine, whine, the message you have entered is too short please fill the rest of your message with pointless crap which no-one wants to read, whine, whine* yes, probably 1000 yen, anyway; I think they are spot on with this pricing, I quite happy with it I wish I could burn my stars catalog points on these. also I hope they manage the pricing of this stuff in US dolars for all globe, but that should be asking too much. 1:38 a.m. EST [update 7]: Famitsu reports 30 Nintendo games and 30 PC Engine/Megadrive (Turbo-Grafx/Genesis) games before end of year. Ten new virtual console games every month after that!
gj15987 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 2:50PM: We just received word that the New York Times article has been pulled from the web. Perhaps our suspicions were right and they were simply guessing the approximate price point. ommmm, naughty news paper.

Yup but seems like we will have to wait until tomorrow for our lot
Owen Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Isn't the USA conference today? 3:00pm BST time? We should get some new game info surely?
Raven Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Extra: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will release in Japan priced at 6,800 yen ($58). Including Zelda and Wii Sports, a total of 16 titles from 10 different companies will be available at launch. Prices of games will range from 4,800 to 6,800 yen. this is all from http://www.n-sider.com/newsview.php?type=story&storyid=2412 by the way...
Yoochem Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 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). Hey that's cheaper than I thought I thought they would cost more than the cube controllers because of the sensors etc. and I guess I'm not the only one.
triforce_keeper Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 ooo yes forgot about that. so roughly £120 in Japan. Lucky bastards knowing us they wil dump an extra £50 on
