Re: The Revolution (Wii) is Here.

I got about £150 odd saved up in my Wii Savers account. Has anyone got a resent update of how much the Wii is looking to cost now.

Re: The Revolution (Wii) is Here.

But Nintendo still plans to wait until September to make the official statement regarding release and pricing. Stay tuned.

Re: The Revolution (Wii) is Here.

Well, you know it will be out before the holiday season, which is all that matter to me. Hopefully some good titles other than the announced ones will accompany it by then.

Yea I know nothings official but PS3 is set to be around £450. I was wondering what you guys personally think the price range will be. I think it'll be around £250. What are you guys guessing?

News!

Some new information on Nintendo's forthcoming Wiimote have surfaced over the weekend from Wii developer documentation obtained by IGN. Here are the goods:

* Controller will use AA batteries.
* Battery life to last 30-60 hours.
* Will use Bluetooth on a 2.4GHz bandwith to communicate with the console.
* Features 6KB of "non-volatile" memory, possibly for speaker?
* Uses a SYNCHRO button to identify Wii controllers that can be used with the console.
* LEDs show which player is communicating with the console and illustrate battery life.
* A built-in rumble motor can be turned on or off.

A Nintendo rep also PR'd IGN with the following statement: "There are many details that we've divulged about the console, but there is also more to learn." Console manufactures have had us talking about console specs for years, but Nintendo has seemingly changed the trend to controllers. So will this thing bounce if dropped? The speculation is killing us!

Part two news!

An intriguing Red Steel multiplayer detail recently surfaced during GamePro's interview with Ubisoft creative director Nicolas Eypert. When asked about the game's multiplayer, Eypert had this to say:

"[You'll] have up to four players. If they play together in split screens we can only say that the fight will not be only on screen."

While the 4-player figure is underwhelming by today's standards, we're certainly curious about the off-screen activity Eypert has hinted at. Cross-room shootouts? Mock swordfights? Could be groundbreaking ... could be awful -- it will most certainly be embarrassing.

Can Ubisoft resuscitate the current state of 'couch' co-op?

Those are all DS games, and no one really thinks there's a hidden message about the Wii release...

Yeah, if you're retarded. Do you actually think that just because there isn't a major DS game launching it means that is the day the Wii will launch? Ignoring the fact that Nintendo typically launches their consoles on a Sunday. They were just toying with us, having a little fun. They've done things like this before. I'll give anyone 8:1 odds for an Oct. 2 release date.

I'm ready to buy the October 2 theory until you can produce some evidence to back up that claim.
