Wii Thread 4.0, WEEUWEEUWEEUWEE!

The price of the rumored touchscreen controller has me a bit worried, let alone the possible price of the console itself (my guess is $400-$450).

There should be an option to use the 3DS as a controller for “Project Cafe” like the DS was supposed to have integration capabilities with the Wii.

Slightly off-topic, but hopefully the PS3/PS4 will have more integration/support with the NGP as well.

I have a strong feeling that I might not be grabbing ‘Cafe’ day 1…If the system is like $350 then MAYBE…

In case anyone was still defending Other M.

Uhm, who the fuck ever defended Other M? Unless you are legitimately retarded, then it’s a free pass for you.

Ouch…

I’ll 100% agree with this article only if you agree that giving Link a voice is bad Specs =D.

You’d be surprised the number of people who will come to Nintendo’s defense, no matter how little Nintendo may deserve it.

Giving Link a voice is bad.

Everyone else in his world, however… :rock:

They aren’t trying to go for touch only controls. I guess this also pretty much 99% confirms that there is a touch pad on the controllers.

So it definitely sounds like they’re trying to reach out more to 3rd parties with the new console this go round. I thought they actually were doing a good job trying with Wii its just that most of the 3rd parties were just putting out shitty shovelware games. Then there’s the factor that Nintendo fanboys tend to hurt the 3rd parties by only buying Nintendo’s stuff and not branching out. But of course in order to for them to be willing to branch out you have them not getting burned on shovelware. The next 2 E3’s should definitely be interesting for Nintendo.

Nintendo Confirms Wii Price Cut
Nintendo Confirms Wii Price Cut to $149.99 - Wii News at IGN

soo the rumor was correct. They are also releasing something akin to a ‘greatest hits’ line called ‘Nintendo Selects’ that will be at retail for $19.99. LoZ:TP, Mario Super Sluggers, Wii Sports, and Animal Crossing: City Folk are the first in the list. This new bundle is taking out Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort and instead including Mario Kart Wii with a matching color wheel to the Wii.

Yeah…They are so late to the party for this lol.

I’d buy Twilight Princess for $20, 6 years later and it’s still $44.99 used…Nintendo games are such bullshit about price drops.

GT corrected themselves…Brawl hasn’t been 100% confirmed for NS lineup

And Nintendo games can get away with the price stuff basically because of what they are. I.E. In my experience most people who buy games like Halo and Gears will buy the game day 1 and once they’re done with it a good chunk of them will trade it in within the next few days. With games like that have Mario in the title and Pokemon it’s a whole different ball game with that. More people hold on to those…ESPECIALLY Pokemon.

Nintendo doesn’t have any control on the used market either but their games do hold their value better than most on average.

this. picked up twilight princess just to replay it about a week ago, and i’m still working on it with collecting everything and seeing everything. you really get your money’s worth with nintendo games, compared to something like say CoD

Yes I know all about the Nintendo used prices and how they function but thanks. I figured with the Wii it would change but no. I suspect the Brawl price change will be correct, they did the same with Melee during the cube run and it remained a consistent top seller.

So like…aside from Skyward Sword is there ANYTHING actually worth getting for the Wii this year?
Cause yeah. I’m not seeing anything. :lol:

Also, you can get Twilight Princess for about 20-25 used at most 3rd party used gamestores (Play N Trade type stores) and Ebay.

I FINALLY got Epic Mickey and Sonic Colors. Got them off ebay for 40 shipped so I am very happy. They should be here any day now.

No they haven’t said anything on what they have planned for Wii for the second half but they have said they’re still bringing out games for it. They’re probably doing what I didn’t want them to do and just going to release a bunch of shit that they’ve been sitting on for the later half of the year and probably leading up to the release of ‘Cafe’. I’ve been waiting on Skyward Sword for forever and a day and I love the series to death but I would like to think that Nintendo knows that Link can’t hold up the house by himself during the holiday season not with Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3, Gears 3, Elder Scrolls V coming out. LoZ is gonna need some assists for that.

Damn Shame.

Even if the Wii is dying I am still trucking, I just picked up the Monster Hunter Tri controller bundle if anyone here wants to help me learn how to play it next week. Relatively new to the series but I like killing large things with a gang of people.

Plus it should all be backwards compatible with Cafe, so win/win for me personally.

Nintendo always does the Greatest hit bullshit before they launch a new system. This isn’t new.
