Maybe pack-in of some major game instead of a price drop?

It already has in australia
a few places sell the budget version for 380, which is cheaper then a wii (400)
ironic and sad

offtopic: makes me wonder if i should of just waited for wii pricedrop and for gc zelda, since my wii is now getting dust and there are a dozen off 360 games I want to play/hire

Nintendo Gaming / RE:This is why Resident Evil Wii will blow chunks (maybe)

Japanese name is "Gun Survivor 4: Biohazard - Heroes Never Die"
It was always a clear spinoff, much like Pokemon: mystery dungeon

If anything, its Capcom America's fault for dubbing it with a sequal style name

No, it's impossible. Once the Wii goes into GC mode, it is a GC. Meaning it cannot pick up anything that is wireless since the Wii uses Bluetooth. The only way it would work is via a physical connection with a VC controller -> GC port adapter cord, --OR-- some kind of "cap transmitter" that you put on the end of the VC controller's cord, with a receiver inside the GC port (much like a Wavebird receiver). Sucks, but that's the deal. Which is why I still hope some clever hacker is out there working on this.

people claimed the same thing with GBA player for about a year, til nintendo even admitted it could
So I wouldnt count it out

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Super Smash Bros. Brawl

That's why I'm not expecting Brawl to have much of an online component. Smash Bros is such a fast paced game, with so much information that needs to processed at near-instant speeds that I don't see it working online without there being lag. And a good game of Smash Bros is so dependent on timing your moves down to the millisecond that if there's any sort of lag the entire game can be compromised. They would probably have to have a stripped down version of Brawl to work with online, but all the items of moves and, well, madness is what makes Smash Bros. what it is. And, to be honest, with Nintendo being so iffy when it comes to online, online is probably the one gaming medium I wouldn't trust them to get right (because they haven't so far). Online is definitely a new frontier that I want Nintendo to tackle. But I don't want Smash Bros. to be the guinea pig. But this just begs the question: does Brawl even need online??? I personally don't think so. It's the ultimate in multiplayer fighting goodness. Even if you could get it to work online without having to strip it down (which I doubt), it wouldn't have the same appeal that having a group of people over to play would.

That seems to be a myth online, melee hack that allowed online play only had slight lag with 4 people
and 120 player servers for PC game Jiont operations, clearly show client2client servers can handle alot of onscreen actions

I dont see how brawl is a new frontier, gamespy proberly have all the tools premade
its up to nintendo to use them right!

You loose performance by also running it emulated on linux, so really xp for gaming is still the only way to go
