Charging for the Wii opera browser is very cheeky. Seeing as all web browsers are freely available on the net. Unless I see a demonstration of the browser for my own eyes and see something that I cant do on my PC I wont be bothering.

Also $40 and $20 for the 2 controllers seems a bit steep as that will most like convert to £15 and £25 which means £40 for a extra full blown controller.

Have to say though the USA release games look very good. All we need now is a release date for mario. But I suspect wii sports, zelda and money ball will keep me occupied for a very long time.

I'm sure they will have a bundle package with Wiimote and Nunchaku together for a lesser price of that if you were to get it separate.:hmm:

Shouldn't be appearing more in-game videos? What are they doing there right now?
I know! I want to see a new Excitetruck, Wii Sports etc... etc... trailer, not just a complilation showing a few seconds of each game.

and videos of the new games that were briefly shown; Forever Blue, Dog Island etc...

 

Excitetruck looked awesome in the compilation video!

Holy shit, worked out that i'll probably end up paying £365 on launch day: Wii and Wii sports (about £150) extra Wiimote (£25) extra nunchuk (£15) classic controller (£15) Zelda (£40) Monkey Ball (£40) Red Steel (£40) Trauma Center (£40).

 

Definately worth it though.

The Nintendo VIP news has just came in with our special treat for being Nintendo customers...

 

As a VIP 24:7, you're used to getting Nintendo news first, but today we have something a little special for you.

But that doesn't stop you checking out the awesome new videos that will give you a sneak peek of what's to come from the wondrous Wii console.

 

Plus, if you haven't seen them already, we're featuring a series of interviews conducted by our President Mr. Iwata with Wii game developers over at our European Wii site .

 

Now go - spread the word about Wii.com and tell all your non-VIP friends how you heard the news!

No, im really not joking, that was our exclusive. Wankers.

Even though MP3 won´t be a launch game, this sounds very promising:

 

Guys,

 

I'll have an update coming. But just a quick heads-up: Retro has proved the potential of the Wii-mote with Metroid Prime 3. The developer added a third control mode, expert (this is not normal or advanced, but all-new) and it simulates PC FPS controls to 90 percent accuracy. I was FLYING around levels with ease.

 

BTW -- We'll have footage so you can see for yourself soon. The game looks mad hot.

 

Matt

I was going to post about VIP's members so called exclusive news!

 

BUT it was so damn late and rather pathetic, that i didn't bother!

 

'Exclusive' my arse! I knew about http://www.wii.com much earlier before the news was posted on NOE!
