Game Pricing
« on: October 12, 2006, 09:41:56 AM »
Someone, correct me if I am wrong. But I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the games for the Wii wouldn't exceed $50 in price. Now, I know that this is just preliminary pricing, but some of the games at ebgames.com are priced at $60. Could this be just a fluke, or is nintendo following path?

If it's a first-party game then it's probably incorrect, but third parties are free to set their own prices.
That's my opinion, not yours.

I preordered Legend of Fail, Red Steak, Rayman Ravaged Rectum, Hot Nurse Center, Climax Truck, and Ultra Primate Nads a while ago at a GameStop store, and the listed prices were all $49.99.

What no Marvel: Unbelievable Allies or Tony Hawk's: Uphill Jog.

Hmm maybe u should start a thread about this...and ppl have to guess the games before they spill theres.  Of course you would need to open it up to all games to make it a bit challenging.  Go for Pro!  <---I forget where that line came from but i know it is from a game.

I give up, what's Grass Stains: Female Genetalia supposed to be?
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I visited Gamestop today, none of the Wii games on their release catalog were over $49.99.

It was supposed to be Bleach:Wii. Maybe that was a stretch.

OH MY GOD.

I didn't know what you were talking about until I researched it!

And you're wrong you know. Rhoq was referring to Mediocre Tickle Strangers: Discussion!

I think you guys are forgetting what may be the real sleeper hit of the launch. GameCube-level Graphics: It's a feature!
“...there are those who would...say, '...If I could just not have to work everyday...that would be the most wonderful life in the world.' They don't know life. Because what makes life mean something is purpose.  The battle. The struggle.  Even if you don't win it.” - Richard M. Nixon

Now this thread is completely ruined since a bunch of you are getting way too obscure with your titles, titles that completely lack the resemblance (and therefore direct step comedy) of the original names.

Chalk up another FAILED Wii Thread.  18days is onto something.
