I think it will hold the calibration setup and an interactive user guide. Isn't Opera meant to be a free downloadable? Hopefully it will have some demos on it.
If I can use the classic or GC controllers yes great but with the wii-mote I don't see it working. Still this would be great news and attract lots of people to the console.
That is really annoying. Not everyone is right handed you know!!! It should be in the options as its not like they have to code something new...but I just know it won't be there.
Go to the shops. Buy a pear and a Bananna. Hold one in each hand. Take a picture. Take to printing shop. Pay a fraction of the price. Sit content with your cheapness. Take a look at your strange poster. Voila.
I was initially annoyed by the price. Now I just think that I am getting my Wii this year with a game included. As long as I can get my hands on one on launch day I will be happy.
I think most gamers would buy one for a lot more than that, but if it is that cheap it will be all not most. Maybe not at launch but somewhere down the line. I'm tight, but I can't complain at the price.
This is very good. I think the actual amount will be more around 20. They don't want to release too many at a time and over saturate the market.
But what concerns me is how many of these games will have online play? hardly any. Which tbh is a serious problem, they better start to make all games online playable.
Many different genres there; there is something for everyone. This wii launch will be great Red Steel is a given for everyone I think, but out of the rest Blazing Angels sounds really good.
The FIFA games are always just the same year in year out. I might pick this up to a first FIFA game though. It is the same with PES games too but I'm excited to finally get one on a Nintendo system.
I didn't realise there was a sensor bar. I know light guns are completely different technology but I rashly assumed it would be the same. And as long as you can play with the lights on and off I'm happy.
Call of Duty is a pretty big title especially for the FPS crowd. This will help me bring in the gamers who have never been interested in Nintendo. The GC didn't have many major FPS's compared to the other two consoles.
I personally love Nibris, their whole reason for making games is to make innovative titles or at least ones that different from the bunch. That's why they are Nintendo exclusive; they have love for the big N. This title doesn't look too much different from old school shooters (eg Tyrian) but I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.
It would have been so much better if the properties were actually that and not characters. Hyrule Castle should be Mayfair etc. And the pieces should be characters. Shame.
This news has made me more exited than ever. I can't wait, it was the Christmas part more than anything. Nintendo have so much potential for games now, motion sensing, touch screen through the DS, microphone, camera its mind blowing.
With that gamestation (or whoever) release list circulating with october release dates for some titles I thought it would have been a bit earlier, but that could be a fake.
£40 is the normal RRP I though for new games with most consoles. I think thats alright. Shops like play.com will reduce the price slightly so i suppose I'm okay with it but had hoped for cheaper games.
I didn't see it until ReInstall posted the other week. I love it, and hope Nintendo do employ him, because if you do that same style with an advert for the wii and release it on tv etc. it really will entise gamers and the normal folk. I really want a Nintnedo ON and I know its fake!
Sounds brilliant. Has any game combined the two dimensions like this? Having never played any Paper Mario games I haven't got a clue what they are about, and why Mario is made out of a tree? but I will definately be getting this.
I've been thinking. Nintendo have stated that it "will not exceed $250 in America" which means £130 is a maximum (give or take). As the wii in the eyes of a casual gamer or parent isn't the best most advanced in terms of graphics/sound/power Nintendo may set the price lower than this maximum to entice that area.
I wouldn't be suprised to see it at around £110~115. How many people can say no to a brand new console at that price even if they already have a 360 and/or PS3.
Nice review. For me it still sounds too simple to warrant buying. I enjoyed SMB but that had numerous different party games and also the difficulty was sky high. This sadly sounds too easy.
The new look is more suited the other world feel as 'Link' said but the first one still looks amazing. I hope they use the old style in a new game so we don't have to miss out entirely. Another note, to me it looks graphically impressive and its not even on a high end next generation console. I'm not sure if it's on the wii or GC but I'm happy with those visuals.

Re: More Wii Cover Artwork
Elebits has the best cover out of all games. Happy feet is a contender to the throne though.
Re: More Controller Shells
I do like the idea of the tennis one but I will need to see the size of it first and the price is still too high.
Re: Wii Bundled With A Strange Disc
I think it will hold the calibration setup and an interactive user guide. Isn't Opera meant to be a free downloadable? Hopefully it will have some demos on it.
Re: Updated DS Release Dates
Most of the better games come in Q1 which is fine by me as it means I can concentrate on the wii, also the fact that I don't have a DS of my own atm.
Re: Wii Finally Get Cover Art
Very nice. I always just a book by the cover so pretty ones are a bonus. How can I resist that Penguin its so cute!
Re: Heatseeker Will Blow You Away On The Wii
If it is non-stop action like they say I can see it can being good. Definetely one to keep your eye on.
Re: Pro Evo For Wii?
If I can use the classic or GC controllers yes great but with the wii-mote I don't see it working. Still this would be great news and attract lots of people to the console.
Re: Cube Games Region Locked On Wii
Stupid descision.
Re: New Twilight Princess Information
That is really annoying. Not everyone is right handed you know!!! It should be in the options as its not like they have to code something new...but I just know it won't be there.

Re: Wii Games Not Region Free
Very crap. I want to play the Japanese games that never come here. A freeloader or the like better become available quicky!
Re: European Wii Launch Details
I was initially annoyed by the price. Now I just think that I am getting my Wii this year with a game included. As long as I can get my hands on one on launch day I will be happy.
Re: Wii 'channels'
Hmm you have to buy Opera with points? You better start with enough points to get it straight away..Were we not told it would be free?
Re: US And Japanese Wii Launch Details
Importing looks like the preferrable option. Cheap and early. We need all of the details. It's so frustrating!
Re: The Voice Of Mario At Oxford Street
I may go too but I'm not sure about getting one of those prizes. I bet there will be fanatics dressed up as Mario waiting in line from today.
Re: Virtual Console Launch List
I would love Duck Hunt most out of those but only with the wiimote. Is there a new version of the game coming out? I vaguely remember something...
Re: Wii Will Not Support Third Party Online Play Until 2007
Does that mean a 3rd party online game that comes out at launch can have online but will only be available to play until next year?
Thats acceptable if so, but still Nintendo continue to frustrate me.
Re: Nintendo GC 2006 Conference
14th September? I though it would be releasing near them
I can't wait any longer!!! grr!
Re: Nintendo Wii For $170?
I think most gamers would buy one for a lot more than that, but if it is that cheap it will be all not most. Maybe not at launch but somewhere down the line.
I'm tight, but I can't complain at the price.
Re: EA signs seven proffesional soccer stars
Same old game, different faces,,,
Re: 27 titles for Wii launch

Re: Justin Lee Collins To Host Golden Joysticks
Shame on you Ant for speaking badly about Jimmy Carr!
I'll guess I will watch it though, programmes about games are scarce.
Re: The Ubisoft 7: Details
Many different genres there; there is something for everyone. This wii launch will be great
Red Steel is a given for everyone I think, but out of the rest Blazing Angels sounds really good.
Re: Lara Croft Plays With Nintendo
She can play with my DS anyway
(I can't believe I just said that)
Re: EA Announce FIFA 07
The FIFA games are always just the same year in year out. I might pick this up to a first FIFA game though. It is the same with PES games too but I'm excited to finally get one on a Nintendo system.
Re: Wii Rampage
I loved Rampage when I was young; so yes. Admitidly I didn't need much depth to a game back then so I hope this new incarnation with deal with that.
Re: Wi-Fi Wii Details Accidentally Leaked
wireless? it that is true then I spit on you Nintendo! I bloody hate wireless networking!
Re: Final Fantasy III & Winning Eleven Themed DS Lite's
I don't mind about the different outsides as long as Winning Eleven makes it here fully translated, oh and has Wi-Fi connection support.
Re: Wii Controller Details Slip Out
I didn't realise there was a sensor bar. I know light guns are completely different technology but I rashly assumed it would be the same. And as long as you can play with the lights on and off I'm happy.
Re: New Red Steel Trailer
I'm too excited!!!
Re: Call Of Duty 3 to Take Advantage Of Wii
Call of Duty is a pretty big title especially for the FPS crowd. This will help me bring in the gamers who have never been interested in Nintendo. The GC didn't have many major FPS's compared to the other two consoles.
Re: Nibris To Release DS Shooter
I personally love Nibris, their whole reason for making games is to make innovative titles or at least ones that different from the bunch. That's why they are Nintendo exclusive; they have love for the big N.
This title doesn't look too much different from old school shooters (eg Tyrian) but I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.
Re: Uwe Boll Wants A Fight
What a legend. He may make crap films but I love him for it. And now actually fighting journalists, amazing.
Re: Animal Crossing Returns For Wii
This should work well with the connect24 service. It will be a huge world with all the different towns. I really want this to be a launch title.
Re: Nintendo Monopoly
It would have been so much better if the properties were actually that and not characters. Hyrule Castle should be Mayfair etc. And the pieces should be characters. Shame.
Re: DS Lite Production Stepped Up
Aslong as theres one from me in a month I'm happy.
Re: Wii Price + DS Connectivity
This news has made me more exited than ever. I can't wait, it was the Christmas part more than anything. Nintendo have so much potential for games now, motion sensing, touch screen through the DS, microphone, camera its mind blowing.
Re: Original DS - No More?
How many people would want an old model? It's not like the Lite has problems and the original is better; we are not talking movies here.
Re: Wii May Have Launch Date & Games Price
With that gamestation (or whoever) release list circulating with october release dates for some titles I thought it would have been a bit earlier, but that could be a fake.

I didn't see it until ReInstall posted the other week. I love it, and hope Nintendo do employ him, because if you do that same style with an advert for the wii and release it on tv etc. it really will entise gamers and the normal folk.
I really want a Nintnedo ON and I know its fake!
Re: Star Fox Takes Command
Another game on Nintendo Wi-Fi nice. I think the number of games is limited and I'm glad more are being added.
Re: Super Paper Mario To Disrupt Platformers
Sounds brilliant. Has any game combined the two dimensions like this?
Having never played any Paper Mario games I haven't got a clue what they are about, and why Mario is made out of a tree? but I will definately be getting this.

Re: Wii Under £150?
£149.99 - I guess I'll pay that. To be honest I'd pay £200 but I feel alot happier about this.
Re: Review Of
Nice review. For me it still sounds too simple to warrant buying. I enjoyed SMB but that had numerous different party games and also the difficulty was sky high. This sadly sounds too easy.
Re: Reggie For President
REGGIE!
What is it about him that we all love?
Re: DS Lite To Launch In Europe This June
My girlfriend WILL be buying me a white one. Yay!
Re: Opera Wii
I've always been excited about this. I never though about it in conjunction with the wii but now it seems unseperable.
I use Opera on desktop; I prefer it over Firefox hands down. With Opera's handheld experience I know this will be perfect.
Re: Harvest Time Hop and Fly Please Spider
For younger gamers but hey I still enjoy top trumps! I will rent it when I get the chance.
