Pokemon Battle Revolution looks great IMO. The graphics look amazing, they are a nice leap from Colloseum, which actualy had many of the pokemon looking worse than the N64 versions. They actualy touch each other now, I still can't get over that!
Look at Link! He looks so devilish pulling out that weapon. I love that he is being assisted by that creature, hopefully we will be able to fly over hyrule.
Sonic and the secret of the rings, looks like it has the series back on track. Lets just hope 11 other characters don't become playable during the next press conference.
Im so tired now, I have to sleep, see you all in the morning. Happy dreams await!

Holy crap I just got done watching the teaser and I'm blown away. Some of those games look jaw dropping (what is that underwater game? That looks like a visual treat) and FUN. So many games to take in though, but if a fair share of them turn out to be high quality maybe the 250$ will not hurt the Wii as much as I thought. This definately brightened my opinion on the launch date and price.

)The weather and news thing is great, really handy
the Mii thing seems really interesting (and by seeing all of those he saved, I'm betting the remote has more than 6kB of memory...)
and the games rule
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on September 14, 2006, 06:56:41 AM
Hardware=100$
1 wiimote/nunchuck=60$
Hookup wires=no idea can't be that much though
Wiisports=Don't know the price but it is 38$ more than Japanese package, you can't tell me the game would have even sold for that price!
Ummmm, a cheap stand (maybe we are getting shafted on that too) and the sensor bar? What is that like 30$ tops if you are genorous.
For some reason I feel the consumer is getting shafted and NIntendo is going to make a profit on the console unless there is more to the hardware than originally reported. On the controller, I'm not really that surprised by the price, I'm more surprised by them splitting it up! I've always figured though it would be around 50$ because the technology can't be cheap and XBox 360's traditional controller, the Wireless version, is 50$.

That price is already severely limiting who will be able to afford one, it will probaly sell out at launch but what about after? Pretty much every system sells out at launch, but it is after christmas that things start to change. When it appears you are making alot of profit on each system sold and your competition is breathing down your back with better hardware at 50$ more (which could easily change within the next few weeks) things start to look alot tougher. A 180-200$ price range would have been a good gap, but a 50$ gap is going to look like a terrible buy compared to a system that perceived to wipe the floor with Wii graphically.
Post by: SixthAngel on September 14, 2006, 07:55:18 AM
I am fine with people complaining but can we keep the price whining contained in a single thread so the others can actually be used to talk about the new features?
Does anyone know what that person making program is for? Is that your profile for games like Wii sports? Is that character also what is sent to other Wii's instead of a gamertag/friendcode?

QuoteYou realize that retailers don't sell products with zero markup, right? Just because the MSRP is $250 that doesn't mean Nintendo is collecting $250 for every system sold. I'm not sure what the typical console (or electronics in general) markup is, but with most other products it's anywhere from 10% to 50%.

Vudu is exactly correct, I know that the Slimline PS2 retails for $129.99 but retailers buy at $69.99. That is a $60 price markup, which is HUGE, nearly 50%. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wii was marked up more than $50 as well. Figure the Gamecube had 0 shelf space, so maybe to reclaim some space in game stores Nintendo had retailers mark up the price of the system a bit that way the retailers make more money and are more interested in carrying Nintendo products and setting aside shelf space for them.
Post by: capamerica on September 14, 2006, 09:13:21 AM
The Distributer buys the Product from the Manufacture, The Distributer then turns around and sells the item to the Retail outlet for 50% more, The Retailer then turns around and marks it up another 50% before the consumer buys it.

So generally, they're only seen by the people who live under that roof. Iwata says, to expand console audience, Nintendo started by increasing the number of gamers playing in one household.
When the Wii is first turned on, they'll see the Wii channel page. First up is the Disc Channel, used to access either Wii or GameCube titles. Now he's going through things like the photo software designed to offer "simple organisation and manipulation of photos".

13:29 - My fingers are starting to hurt now. ANYWAY, there's a game of - ohmygodyou'dneverhaveguessed - Wii Tennis going on now against Tim and Greg and Fischer and Shibata. It's all a RIGHT LARK. Incidentally, hilARIous incident earlier - one of Tim Henman's balls flew off the stage and nearly gave the person behind me concussion just after I posted the last update. Back to the game though: Tim and Greg are losing with 30-15. 30-30 now. Tell you what, I'll just post again when we have a clear winner.

14:33.05 - 30-30. Tim’s serving. Decent rally this time, and Greg wins it. Game point. “Nintendo’s gone mad,” my friend says (Eurogamer)
So have I, friend. So have I.

13:35 - Somewhat embarrassingly, I was just staring at the ceiling so I have no idea who won. Sorry. AH! European launch specifics. Launch games first! Wii Sports, Wii Play - which enables novices to get the hang of the controller. It'll be bundled with a second controller. Just like the Japanese 'My First Wii' package in fact. Zelda too, obviously Wario Ware will arrive 'just after launch'.
13:38 - Tony Hawk, Rayman, Red Steel, Monkey Ball coming from thirdparties amongst other things.
13:39 - WII LAUNCH DETAILS: European launch date December 8 2006, priced at £179 (249 Euros). Package will include console, Wiimote, nunchuck, cables and all that jazz. Oh and Wii Sports. Er, games will cost £35 - £39 in the UK and 49-59 Euros elsewhere. Europe, for example. Sorry about the slackness there. I was updating two places at once.
$249 euros! That's like, I don't know what that is! It's too early in the morning for me to make jokes!

13:44 - Right, with that bit of frenzied excitement out the way, we've moved onto that Wii games trailer that was doing the rounds on the Japanese website yesterday. Incidentally, it looks a bit more impressive when it's blown up slightly bigger than the size of a postage stamp.
The Wii is capable of impressive graphics. MEGATON!

12:47 - And with one last crescendo of music, Iwata has reappeared on stage. The words "Wii move you" are dangling provocatively over his head. He's inviting us to go try the damn thing out for ourselves. And - gasp - a huge gaping chasm has opened in the wall behind him and everyone's being sucked through, like huge electronically-obsessed sheep. Or something. You know, if we'd thought about it, we would have said 'Iwata is inviting us to play with his Wii'. AHAHAHAHAHahhahahahaha. God, I kill me sometimes.
Apparently I'm not the only one who's not funny in the morning!
