$50ish for the controller + nunchuck is pretty brutal. I'm hoping most multiplayer games can be played with just the remote.

Compared to other current-gen controllers, it's reasonable.

I would hope that the nunchuk doesn't become as required as many of the games demoed so far seem to make it. I wouldn't mind needing to use it, but what I was sold on on the wii was the remote itself, not the nunchuk. :/

And yeah, price-wise, it's not too much of a difference. PS2 controllers currently sell for $25-$30, and third-party ones can hit $50.

Speaking of which, I hope to god MadCatz doesn't make a Wii controller. ;_;

How ya doing, buddy?

I guess the higher price is to be expected considering that Wiimotes have a lot more going on than the other next-gen console's remotes.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Huh...the remote and nunchuck attachments are sold SEPARATELY? Yikes, that's pretty expensive, $45 for a complete controller...

Just remember the American prices will vary. Think of this as a rough guideline for what we'll want to hear.

What time does the American conference begin? I'm hoping I'll see some good news when I wake up in the morning and the Wii really will be coming out over in America earlier.

I figured the Wii controller itself would be less since it didn't have things like analog button inputs (or as many of them for that matter), most of the motion sensing is handled by the system and sensor bars themselves. Especially the nunchuck attachment...it's just an analog stick, two digital buttons, and an accelerometer. $10 seems like it would be more practical for it.

Are those the only 4 that will be available at launch? I thought they were going to have 6-10? Pokemon is certainly a surprise...but is it going to be fully online?

I don't think Metroid entirely counts as first-party, considering it's developed by Retro Studios. Can't remember if they're second or third party, but they're definitely not first-party.

Metroid Prime 3 is second-party.

Pokémon was indeed announced long ago, but it was never confirmed for launch.

Oh yeah...Metroid Prime 3 was definitely a confirmed launch title, why would they drop it? I don't think that report was accurate, whereever it was from.

Oh, and I hate to be a pot calling kettle black, but perhaps we should wait a little while between individual posting and cover several topics in each post rather than little comments here and there that would drive this thread to 10 pages before they even reveal any games for the system.

Retro is first party, they are wholely owned by Nintendo. Much like Bungie is owned by Microsoft, and is therefor first party.

Hmm, that might explain it. Sucks for the Japanese...

OK fair enough. I suppose this also makes sense since FPS's aren't as popular there.
