May 9, 200620 yr 500 bucks for the 20 gig? f*** thats outrageous though i know ill prob break down and buy the 20 gig, i wont even consider getting the 60 for $100 more BTW...to buy the 20 gig youd have to start putting away 5 dollars a day starting today to get up to the MSRP (plus 7% sales tax)
May 9, 200620 yr Ouch. Games will probably cost 65-70 bucks... I think I'll be getting me my Wii..When does it come out?
May 9, 200620 yr Ouch. Games will probably cost 65-70 bucks... I think I'll be getting me my Wii..When does it come out? Nintendo's press conference starts in a little while at e3. They'll probably discuss it there.
May 9, 200620 yr not to many sports games at launch....fight night 3 and the formula one game...hmmm...me no likey that fact
May 10, 200620 yr ill get one.. and its fine if people are scared of the price.. better chance of me getting one
May 10, 200620 yr I think I'll be getting me my Wii..When does it come out? I'll be picking one up myself as well. Nintendo is still sketchy on the release date and price, but look for it in Q4 of this year, and probably less than $250.
May 10, 200620 yr Supposedly Electronic Gaming Monthly is going to confirm the $249 rumor, but that in itself is a rumor. Nintendo is not going to be successful if they go too far above that price, so I think that's about right.
May 10, 200620 yr the nintendo one often has such worse games is the problem. What was that?? :blink: Don't take it the wrong way, I just have no idea what you just said. Sorry.. And I think Nintendo held back the price of the Wii after seeing the reaction everybody was to the price of the PS3. Its going to be $200 or less more than likely and expect it to be out in October so that it atleast has a month head start on the PS3. Confirmed launch titles include: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii version) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Duck Hunt 2 Madden 2007 Red Steel Tony Hawk Downhill Jam Dragon Quest Swords The Mask Queen and the Tower of Mirrors Nintendo Sports (Baseball, Golf and Tennis) Almost every Nintendo published NES, SNES, N64 and GameCube games, as well as Sega Classics (Genesis for sure and I'm not sure about the Master System), and Turbo Grafix 16 games And those are just the games we know of.
May 11, 200620 yr And coming in 2007 for the Wii... Super Smash Bros. Brawl :thumbup Solid Snake, Pit from Kid Icarus and others to join the cast this time around.
May 11, 200620 yr This could convince me to buy a Wii. Especially if they do get Sonic on there. That'd clinch it. Online I can call it the Wii, but in person, I have to say Revolution. Wii sounds too dumb.

Wii sounds too dumb. When I went to Gamestop the other day, the guy had asked me if I wanted to reserve anything right away. I told him no but what was waiting to see how the Revolution would turn out. Surprisenly he had came back and said its no longer called Revolution, but called Wii. I think after that and talking with the guy for a minute or two, I've gotten over my hesitation to call it Wii out on the public.

Yeah, but it just sounds so goofy, especially if you are talking to somebody who hasn't heard of the name change. Either way, this news, plus Mario Galaxies makes it look like my dorm will be decked out with a Wii on the hi-def.
May 11, 200620 yr The first trailer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl is up!! You have to be an insider but dl and enjoy if you are!! http://media.revolution.ign.com/media/748/748545/vids_1.html
May 11, 200620 yr Author http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-ga...s-and-e3-mishap the ps3 froze up at the e3 :confused so much for that $599 getting all the kinks out
May 11, 200620 yr I don't understand any of this stuff, but everywhere I look people are going nuts over this Wii thing. I really don't get the concept behind the controller at all, but nonetheless it sounds cool. I am a Nintendo loyalist, so if I do get something it will be the Wii. On the other hand, I haven't played a video game in about a year, and I'm not sure now is the best time to pick up the habit again.
May 11, 200620 yr I'll buy one. *shrugs* I spend about that much on Bengals tickets. Not a thing. Me too. I have had both PS2 and XBox for years. While $599 is expensive, it is worthwhile. It's not just 600 bucks. The games are going to be through the roof as well.
May 11, 200620 yr $500 for the bottom end model, are they out of their f***ing minds? Games will probably be $50 or $60, you buy 4 or 5 games plus the system and you're already at almost-$800+ And they'll probably sell on eBay for a huge premium also for the first few months, absurd.
