that green they showed the wiimote in back at TGS would be nice, might get me more interested in upgrading my ds. they need to release that green for something at the least.

What's even worse is that many shops are putting them on sale at $100 over the suggested retail price, and they still sell like this.

I also want some car manufacturer to make the ugliest car ever that is so unpopular they have to sell brand new models for like $1000.


Did you miss out on a Pontiac Aztec?

READ: Draw a line on a graph, and have the system calculate a formula for said graph.

I think if you asked a group of mathematicians to design an algorithm to do that they'd come back with formal proof that this task is impossible.

What's even worse is that many shops are putting them on sale at $100 over the suggested retail price, and they still sell like this.

Interesting. Not too long ago Nintendo would have told those stores to fall in line or they will be excluded from future shipments. I'm pretty sure Sony and MS have such a policy.

Actually in the newest Nintendo Power they not only show a black wiimote and nunchuck but it also has a (previously unannounced)purple button in the left side.

I'll provide a link to where to find the scan if you ask.


sure. i havent checked out NP since i stopped renewing my subscription x-years ago.

It absolutely destroys those two systems.

It's funny how Nintendo can just artificially create a sales jump whenever they want just by shipping a bit more than usual and say "hey look, this game sold DS's!".

But did you notice the little purple button on the left side of the wiimote? Is that a Z button? cause its not on any other pic of the wiimote to date.

Yeah... here is where I found out about it.
