Thread: Nintendo Wii

well nintendo are being sort of clever abt this if u like coz they've jacked up the price.

Their marketing strategy is to have everyone buy the cheapest console n those consumers who have the money to buy a 360 or PS3, they'll still buy the Wii coz it's cheap n they want to try it out

I think nintendo is pointing a lot on the new wireless controller and on it being able to play old games. I think it focuses on a lot of people who have played old nintendo 64 games and enjoyed it. (Since the gamecube designed for a younger audience didn't really fly as expected...)

Wow $250, that's a reasonable price for a new console. Nintedo wii might hurt the PS3 because of the price tag.

A PSP is the same price, I might get that, because it has RPG's. I haven't seen any previews for RPGs on the Nintendo Wii.

Thats becuase the realease lists havent been finalised yet.

And to who ever said it above the GC was not made for younger audiences>it was only percieved that way due to bad advertising.

I think the wii will be the best of the three next gen consoles.It has innovative games,a very intresting new controller design,its cheap and you can download old nintendo games.I hope its not another flop like the GC

250? Now that's amazing. I was expecting at least 300 but I won't complain. I just want to see some of the gameplay. I don't really like the controller though.

you can use 'cube controllers, so the wii remote isn't an issue.

I can't wait, I'm gettin' one asap, Probably get rid of the 'cube too. I want it primarly for Legend of Zelda and SSB, but Red Steel and Metroid looked interesting too. The price is to die for.
