Wii to Sell for <= $250

Postby Maelstrom » Mon May 29, 2006 1:21 pm

Linkage!

So, the Wii is going to sell for cheap, or it's going to sell for really cheap.

If Nintendo can have a decent selection of games ready to go, it may actually put some strain on Sony, particularly with XBox already being out the door, and with it's price dropping some already.

Nintendo always has a good game selection, think back to the classic NES which produced games that have evolved into living legends today. As for the price, w007.

Hmm, Wii for $200, or PS3 for $600+?

Not a very hard decision, personally.

Ouch. Well that's going to hurt. I still don't can't get behind the 'great games' lineup though. I haven't picked up a DS yet simply because I haven't seen any games I want to play (and the PX has a HUGE selection of games for the DS). The number of nintendo games I've wanted to play in the last 5 years I could count on one hand. *sigh* I have a feeling this is going to be a lousy day. :(

Nintendo has always been very consistent with their pricing. Most every system they've developed have started in the $150-$250 range.

Save for the GameBoys, which range $50-$100

Anybody ever play MarioRPG? I was thinking of some uses for the touchscreen if it were turned into a DS remake. Perhaps multiplayer hookup or detailed enemy stats, which the SNES version supplied neither of. Anybody play it? Anybody still even play their SNES anymore?

Questions, comments, pocky?

And now... Offspring of my boredom!

I've played Super Mario RPG many times, and still do. It's quite fun.

It is worth it, considering the standard Blu-ray player will cost a thousand when they come out, and they wont even play games or go online.

And to think you're in so-called "higher" education.

"Higher" is a state of mind. To be "higher" than something else is to be either correct in the argument that you are in fact "higher" or to be egoistic and pretensious...


Often times it is the latter.
