    Re: The Wii is Here.

    NES = $2
    SNES = $5
    N64 = $10

    I believe they priced Genesis and something else before Genesis. Genesis titles will be $8.

    Keep comments coming and I will attempt to answer them. After I sleep.

      So I hear all of the Wii launch games were major dissapointments. Apparently even TP didn't live up to the hype. Except I hear Wii sports was pretty good.

      This make things a lot easier for me since now I don't have to stress about getting one so soon ^_^

        TP does live up to the hype and then some according to many reliable sources, such as Matt over at IGN which he touted as the best Zelda game ever made.

          And you know its good when all my friends want to get a Wii just for Twilight Princess.

          I have a lot of friends who have never OWNED a single console in their life and now they want to get the Wii. Even better, they want to get a Wii to play Twilight Princess.

          For me, that is enough sign that the Wii is going to be good as well as Twilight Princess.

          Or Nintendo's marketing strategy is really working.

            I think this is pretty cool. Too bad these are my roommates and he has already sold 'em on ebay, otherwise we'd be playing them right now. Still pretty cool to have both


            Also, sitting on your computer is cool.

              Apparently TP controls better on GC than it does the Wii, that was the dissapointment part.

              Which is making me consider getting the GC version instead. No doubt it's a great game. Just not done for the Wii.

                  So NONE of the virtual console games are free? That's such crap. They just wanna squeeze more money out of us. Emulators ftw, especially since Wii prolly lacks a TURBO feature. XD

                  Wait, is playing people online free? IT BETTER BE! >=O
                  So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

                  In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

                  So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
                  And I write the blog for their website.

                  Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

                    Re: The Wii is Here.

                    Online play is free. Some people want VC games so they can play it on a TV rather than a computer and a controller rather than a keyboard. Oh, and not to mention that this is legal.

                    I won't be getting VC games.

                    Grandia haha. The GCN version of Twilight Princess isn't even freakin' OUT yet. HOW CAN ANYONE SAY IT'S BETTER OR WORSE!

                    Your source of information is an idiot. Need I remind you what I said earlier? There were 78 Wiis in the Target I camped outside. There were 77 people who wanted Zelda.

                      Meh, I read EGM. They're not too good for game coverage, but they're usually right when it comes to a game and it's faults.

                          Grandia, every place I've read reviews from love the controls over the old way of controls. Especially aiming. Also, little things like being able to run and slash at the same time gives a great feeling I'm told.

                          I'll let you know once I get it.

                            Seth, I'll play Red Steel after I finish this paper.

                            I just played some Sports. Much fun. Bowled a 187 on my first game, got a Bronze on the Bowling challenge, Hit 5 home runs in the home run contest, and lost a tennis match.

                            Edit: See, here's my problem. I HAVEN'T PLAYED ZELDA YET. I HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS.

                            Take-home exam, work on Sunday, several Wii parties, 12-page essay, 50,000 word novel... way too much to all have to deal with as soon as this amazing device was released.

                              Im actually more excited about Wii Sports than I am about some big name games for release. My friend down the road is getting one on release too so I'm really excited about Wii Play as well. Could be a barrel of laughs. I've changed my mind about games I'll get now. Its now Zelda, Red Steel, Monkey Ball and Wii Play.

                                Saying Twilight Princess sucks just proves how really, really stupid you are.
