[Wii] Official Nintendo Wii thread

FUCKIN' FIRE EMBLEM! :love:

Price and launch date = expected, but I'm still happy about it. The biggest surprise out of all this madness is the announcement of First-Party (and possibly Third-Party) region-free games. That means I won't have to wait for Wario Ware and Fire Emblem to be released in the US. Also sort of unexpected was the announcement of a Legend of the River King game for the Wii.

The US launch titles look solid, I suppose. Twilight Princess, Trauma Center, and Elebits are probably the ones I'll get on launch.

The absence of FF: Crystal Chronicles on the launch list is devastaing, but not unexpected. The same goes for the movement of Super Paper Mario to the Wii.

I wasn't too happy about the pricing for the controller + nunchaku. As of right now, the nunchaku isn't a necessary purchase, but I don't want to pay $60 for a clicker and nunchake setup should it become more important for multiplayer gaming.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If Monkey Ball isn't out at US launch, it should be out in December. Else, you could always import it since it is a JPN launch title.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Can't you just get the Classic Controller then?

NOA hasn't listed the MSX as being available as a VC option in the US. Has Nintendo said anything about VC games being available across all regions? Will I be able to get MSX games even though I'm in the US, assuming they're at a reasonable price?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

What's the Wi-Fi symbol on Tony Hawk? I thought there would be no online gaming 'til next year?

Also, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam looks alot like Top Skater and Ollie King by Smilebit, except not as cool.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Not sure if this was announced here yet, but whatever.

I've never played with the Commodore 64 myself, but I've met a few people who are pretty nostalgic for it.

I wonder how much they'll charge for the C64 games, though. I already think US$5 (I don't know how much Nintendo's charging in Australia) is too much for an NES game, but I see that being the lowest price for a virtual console game.

FELIPE NO

Wait, what? I thought Nintendo was going to have approx. 7 trillion systems at launch? If that's still the case, how big is the worry of not getting one at launch?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I like how the only redeeming feature of VC list is Sega (OK, OK, Bomberman '93 and Super Star Soldier are also great). Although I have no idea what it was I expected to get in the first place from Nintendo.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hmm, I suppose I'm the only one underwhelmed by the Wii? I attribute it to the launch games being boring. Messing around with the channels is fun, but other than that, I'm having less fun than I thought I would.
