Roundup: Nintendo of America Conference

I believe Wii points can also be racked up through playing games, as well as bought. If Wii points were only earned through $$$, than why should there be Wii points in the first place?

this is true! u guys DO know that theyre not making profit, like all the other new consoles, on the actual console price itself, right? they make the money off the games...$250 for a 2006/7 console is really cheap plus 2007 technology and features cost more since its overall better and costs more anyways! the PS3, altho i want it, is gonna b $600.00 with everything...$450 for the simpler version...and i dont know if THEY r even making profit...if its too expensive then dont get it...for the ppl complaining that they r "too poor", then u should invest in something other than gaming altogether...ur wasting ur life and money if thats the case

i take it your referring to me, well you shouldn't jump to conclusions saying i'm wasting my life and money. i just have a limited budget with food, car bills, college tution and all this other mess your learn about when your older. I just dont think its fare that they force you to buy wii sports since i'll only be able to afford (after i've paid all the bills) 1 or two games because i'd rather choose the ones i want.

In my opinion, I find everything too expensive as I thought it was gonna be...

 

[Wilko]

I feel really bad but I have to agree, the Wii itself is 'cheap' but $60 for another Wiimote + nunchuck?

More than likely won't be buying this at launch.

This is actually incorrect, check out what Reggie said on the matter. I'm not against them making a profit, it's a great business model, but I do think for $250 we should get 2 controllers, or a version without wii sports for $199.

Everything is more expensive than it should be. Which doesn't mean I won't be getting the wii, it just means I won't be buying as many games as I was planning to.

And for the prices they've announced on VC games, I won't be buying even one. I bought a lot of great gamecube games for only $15. Sure, they were gamer's choice value titles, but that's only $5 more than they'll be chraging for old N64 titles! $5 for NES titles is just way too much. NES games should be 99 cents, with SNES games at $1.99 and N64 games at $4.99. At those prices I would buy tons of them. At the current announced pricing I won't even buy one.

I read somewhere (I believe it was here) That you had to buy opera as if it was a VC title... Is ya have an answer.. Please reply it

Yea I found it. it said Opera would have to be bought with Wii points but they didn't say how much.

quick question will a nunchaku attachment be included with the wii (in the box?)

Yes it will. An addtional Wiimote will be $40 and an additional Nunchuck will $20 and I think the classic controller will be $20 as well not included in the box.
