The remote and nunchuck attachment are *expensive*. 3800 yen for the remote is roughly $30, and an additional 1800 for the attachment is $16. Seeing as prices are higher for Nintendo products in the USA, my guess is that a complete controller package will be 50 dollars.

Ouch.

I'm still up but can't get the videos dl for some reason. Anyway I doubt I'll be able to sleep too well I'll be too tense waiting for the NA press conference to hopefully fix what looks like could be a huge mistake.

Those Mii customizations are so very cute. And the global weather even looks fun to mess around with.

Nice and clean interfaces all around!

BigJim · « **Reply #82 on:** September 13, 2006, 10:13:17 PM »

They're definitely making this a household tool. Calendars, messaging, photos, weather, etc. all in the UI. Very happy with the menus and features. Can't wait to be able to understand what the heck I'm looking at in the morning.

IceCold · « **Reply #83 on:** September 13, 2006, 10:26:20 PM »

That interface is brilliant! Check out the one of the globe, and you control it with the remote, looking at the weather..

Man do I love being a Nintendo fan! Ok so Japan gets Zelda and Pokemon on day one?

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!

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #85 on:** September 13, 2006, 10:41:43 PM »

Everything about this interface is brilliant. It easily ranks in the top five I've ever seen, anywhere. That's with all the computers and programs I've used. The Wiimote is so versatile, the interface so vast and easy to use (yet complex in size and options). Could be the best.
I didn't think I'd get pumped about the interface.

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.

Underwater game's Forever Blue, developed by Nintendo.

DOG ISLAND LOOKS OUTSTANDING AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHY.

Nephilim · « **Reply #92 on:** September 14, 2006, 03:59:30 AM »

im worried about who nintendo are going to source news for in places like australia and america
and what there going to do about wars like the one only 2months ago in lebanon
nintendo can be badly attacked if it isnt pro allies of america, but on the other hand i would expect it to be balanced

so i hope they atleast stick with bbc, dw and other leading independant sources

edit: no trying to start arguement, just thinking of the future

Ceric · « **Reply #93 on:** September 14, 2006, 04:05:47 AM »

lol on the Forecast video they have "Image owned by NASA"

Fantastic video, it has really got me hyped for Wii. The scuba diving game looks simply beautiful and my feverish desire for Warioware has been raised to a new level.

wow....

I LOVE THE SYSTEM'S UI!!!!

the photo thing looks great, you can even edit them! (ala GBCamera...but with layers!

)
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

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #97 on:** September 14, 2006, 06:56:41 AM »

I want to know how much this package cost Nintendo and only one nunchuck/wiimote. There were reports Wii only cost 70-100$ to make, so that means if you take the retail price for the other stuff you get.

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$.

EasyCure · « **Reply #98 on:** September 14, 2006, 07:05:33 AM »

i think i might be the only one excited about a billiard game, even if just a mini game in another title

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #99 on:** September 14, 2006, 07:07:00 AM »

What.

You act like Nintendo isn't supposed to make a profit on it.
