I would like to see an extra controller in the box actually. Wii is suppose to mean WE. Kind of hard to be a single WE.]]>Sep 14th 2006 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/Sep 14th 2006 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/Sep 14th 2006 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/Sep 14th 2006 1:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/Sep 14th 2006 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/
-250 is way to much for a slightly upgraded game cube. why arnt they playing to their strength by seriously undercutting the competitions price

-10-50 is way to much for the virtual comsole games if they really want to sell lots of them and make vc a killer app they should be priced between 1-10

Where's your source???

The New York Times story has been pulled for being false. The TRUE price and release date have yet to be revealed!!!!!!!!!

Quit jumping the gun!!!!

Japan: December 2, $212.00]]>Sep 14th 2006 2:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/Sep 14th 2006 2:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/Sep 14th 2006 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/

U.S. Release Date ????? Price ?????]]>Sep 14th 2006 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/$5 for old NES games, $8 for SNES and $10 for N64.

These are old games that involve no programming to create. They just have to slap them online and their done. Gravy. It just seems greedy.

The iTunes 99cent model works, doesn't the big N see this? For 99cents people would download hundreds....at $5 they'll grab a few.]]>Sep 14th 2006 2:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/
i still have a NES / SNES / N64 .... TG16 around somewhere. at $10 or $50... there is no reason to not just play the originals. at under $5... i'd buy them just for the convenience to have them all in one machine.

i'm hoping someone makes a 5-in-1 wireless adapter for the Wii as well. a small pod with NES / SNES / N64 / TG16 / Genesis ports on it... to wireless-ify your original controllers for use on the Wii. perhaps something plugging into the Wiimote expansion port?]]>Sep 14th 2006 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/
the VC games are $5 to $10, not $10 to $50. ]]>Sep 14th 2006 2:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/

If it's true, it's not so much bad news, as utterly mundane, unexciting and anticlimatic news that will really take the wind out of the Wii's sales.

And Dec 1st in Japan? Wtf? Makes me wonder how badly we Europeans are gonna get screwed...]]>Sep 14th 2006 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/Sep 14th 2006 3:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/

If it doesn't reach our shores this year I think people will hold out for a PS3, despite one of the worst PR disasters of gaming times...

I'd consider teh x360 if i have to wait for some ungodly reason for a Wii - I was hoping to have it in my stocking for chrimbo.

And i'm still holding out on a £150 launch price, but I seriously doubt it :(]]>Sep 14th 2006 4:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/A standard definition tv is not capable of showing text that is only one pixel wide, it's blurry as hell (dead rising text anyone?).
So how the hell can you browse web with a standard tv? As far as I know the Wii isn't even capable of outputting a high enough resolution to show the sharp text on web pages, even if you have a HDTV.

Try plugging your computer to your old tube. Blurry!]]>Sep 14th 2006 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/Sep 14th 2006 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/Sep 14th 2006 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/
Though thats not taking into account the tax added on in the UK already, and the fact that the prices are never a straight conversion... but maybe still a £150 launch over here?... whenever 'over here' is.]]>Sep 14th 2006 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-november-19th-250/

'With these new features, I believe that anybody, regardless of age or gender, will be urged to touch our Wii at least once,' Iwata said.
