    (execpt the french i HATE the frnch)

  • budweiser10

    The price would be perfect at $199 or even $222! But at $250 plus tax that might be too high. You will have to purchase additional controlers and at least one or two games!

  • budweiser8

    i agree with budweiser10

  • cubanito

    For those of you worrying about the delayed release date for the UK and Europe, I saw on wikipedia.com (the Wii page) that a “nintendo official” said that the Wii release dates worldwide will all be within 4 months of one another. (The site also has the release titles for Wii, including Super Smash Bros Brawl, LoZ Twilight Princess, and my most anticipated game, Marvel Ultimate Alliance!! :)

  • wii Master

    budweiser8 im not french

  • Ghost

    man u should buy a xbox 360 and a wii as second just becoz the xbox 360 have very good games try out battle field 2 modern combat the cpu have so much intelligence

  • http://p2o-clan.co.nr Demaxx_1

    The most recent rumor is that Wii will be out Oct. 2nd, and will cost $174.99
    That would be awesome.
    I am praying that that will be the date and price because I have saved up $234.47.
    That would leave me plenty of money for extra controllers and games.
    Later, y’all

    The nintendo wii is amazing. i was one of only 11 children to try it so far because my father, ( ishitori matsuki) is the brand developer for Ninendo.

    i played demo games that will not be released for the wii.
    the demo baseball game was sensational, your able to pick players you want on your team and start a single person career mode. ( i picked Tadahito Iguchi :), the game allows you to swing the bat as if you were playing. to pitch you have to use the controller and make a sideways motion.. the price is going to be 19969 yen, which is around 190-200 dollars U.S if i did my math right.

  • http://df arukata-moopiepoopie

    srry, its 20945 yen, my father corrected me, translates into 205 dollars U.S

  • http://df manzibra… :()

    arukata, ur right, my penpal from japan, told me that exact same thing, he told me to keep it secret though.

    Manzibra…. away..

  • i and i

    where have amazon got the release date 24 November from.
    oh yeah and nintendo rules.

  • me and me

    DUDE I CANT WAIT. WHEN EVER THEY WANT MY MONEY IM GETING IT. 200 dollars is nothing for somthing that can play 24 years ago of systems like nes and gamecube. NOVEMBER 6 IS SO CLOSE AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH THE SUsPENSION IS KILLING ME AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.
    NINTENDO IS THE KING OF SYSTEMS

  • Mario and luigi

    Looks like you had to put a lot of work into that. I hope you keep the prices cheap!

  • nat101

    the hardest system made so far and nintend is goin much farther with this system

  • mike

    nintendo has confirmed it to wikipedia.com it says that the wii launched will be forwarded to the game launch dates. gamestop.com shows you the release dates of all the games that will be with the wii. they are in november so the wii launch date is in november. why would they release it in october when all the games and software come out in november?

    I’m about to put it straight to you guys… And hopefully end this pointless discussion. I used to be closely tied into game development, not so much anymore… and here’s my take on things.

    The difference between Nintendo and its competitors (Microsoft/Sony) is that Nintendo is an actual game development company that also happens to make their own console hardware, whereas, Sony and Microsoft have third parties create their games. Yes, even those titles that boldly say Microsoft is actually made by other companies once you read the small print.

    What exactly does this mean? Well, lets use the PS2 as an example, I don’t understand this exactly, but supposedly Sony thought they’d be really clever and support multiprocessing by splitting something into two (or it could be cpu/gpu), as I said, I don’t know the exact details… okay, here’s the thing though, at a dinner party between a bunch of developers, they were talking about how impossible it is to effectively utilise both at the same time – which is exactly why it was split off into two in the first place… this seems to be a problem… Where did it originate? With the fact that they don’t know anything about creating games, so all they’re doing is trying to put together a system they believe is powerful, and with a few limited demos created by them, they think the system has been tested. Well, it doesn’t work that way, and Microsoft is guilty of the exact same thing. They don’t really know if their systems will even work once introduced to actual gaming conditions. (If anyone knows the exact story, please write about it on here, I have to be honest and say I was paying more attention to the food than the discussion)

    Now lets look at Nintendo, they make launch titles for their consoles as it is being developed and prototyped. This means that by the time the system is out, most of the problems will already be sorted out, and the system will be perfect for game developers, rather than throwing half a dozen cores at a programmer and hoping someone can make good use of it. In other words, Nintendo makes a system they themselves would want to develop on, and play on, and that it will do this really well by the time it is released.

    Take care. Sorry if this chat seemed a bit random, but I’m just giving my views on things…

  • Joe

    OMG!!!! Novmber 6th is my birthday i hope that it is coming out that day!!!!!!!!!OMFG!

  • wii Master

    i say screw sony and microsoft

  • http://www.google.com Question

    Hey, I was wondering if th wii will have some sort of online game playing. Like playing brawl online would be amazing. Since im so much better than my bros. and most people in my neighborhood no one plays with me lol. So yeah im just wondering is the Wii going to have anything like online.

  • Michelle

    I will be buying my 11 year old daughter this system for christmas. She has a cube and will buy this for the same reason I bought her a cube when she was 6. VERY kid friendly games young children don’t need the violent games. I am OK with Smash Bros. type of games but don’t need the reality type blood, guts and gore. I’m glad it will play all her cube games as well. Her cube just broke so I hope I am tough enough to get one( The game stores claim they will be hard to come by) and stong enough to wait to give it to her for christmas.

  • reference to #18

    shut the hell up michael..
    if your going to say that, at least give details.
    in my opinion, Wii will dominate the PS3. Playing the first super smas bros. will be awesome.

    NOV 6 sounds nice =D

  • http://google.com Question2

    Yeah, im wondering the same thing as the other question person, is brawl or the wii gonna be online?

  • Horrorboy

  • ew

    U all B-stank

  • ew

    Joe get a life

  • Alex

    Wii already won against the competition with a pricepoint: if you can afford to spend $500 on xbox or ps3 you can definatly afford to get a $200 system that has a “cool” factor. I don’t think there should be a wii vs ps3 vs xbox, it will be more along the lines of ps3 or xbox in addition to wii?

    PS is able to offer a huge lineup and great rpgs and xbox offers state of the art online experience.

  • styromaniac

    I’m getting very anxious. I can’t wait until the day the Teen Center I go to gets one. I may be able to do co-op or verse some of you via DSL from there. People that dislike this system need to check for a pulse because this this is just the beginning for games getting real!

  • Al.

    Wow… I lurve this system.. The only problem for me is the fact that I have to convince my parents to get this system. Yes… I have no saying in my family xD

  • Breebree
