Uhoh! This'll all be fixed up once the proper US and UK pricing's been revealed, I'm sure. At current exchange rates, the Japanese WiiU will cost you a whopping $350, whilst the controller alone is insanely $175 on its own! Foooooooooooooooooooooooook Well, ok, maybe it's not THAT bad. I'm about to drop £250 on a device I pretty much already have, just because it's got a slightly better camera that I'll never use except for taking pictures of the cat. But at least I can then buy games for it at .99p a go, instead of MarioU's price of $77! Fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook!!!!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

 Fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook!!!!!! Indeed. I'm a pretty big fan of Nintendo's hardware and software, but I'll have to seriously give this one a miss if it works out at £350 (£=$=usual) without any games. I wouldn't expect games to cost more than £40 here or they really can fuck off. I like Nintendo, but I wouldn't sleep with them and those prices are pretty much like raping their loyal fans. £60 for a Mario game? FUCK OFF! |edit| Just seen this on IGN  WTF is a "High Speed HDMI cable"? What a crock! |

To be fair, having that written on the box should at least stop sales people from screwing folk with their GOLD HDMI bullshit. .. But, you know, still ain't buying one. $300 vs $350 for the basic/premium packs in US, Nov 18th Still no prices for UK, oddly, even though theyve given us a release date of Nov 30th -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Fuck that shit! Once WiiU is released, all Wii games will drop to 50%, so I'll be happy

If I'm honest, I'm kinda looking forward to that NintendoLand game.. It looks like the sort of game I'd spend hours playing, like I did with Wii Sports. Out of the launch lineup, though, I'm not really seeing anything else that's peeking my interest. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

There's a lot of stuff incoming in the next few months, but like you Jay, I'm not excited by any of it, although Aliens: Colonial Marines is one title I've been watching. Now if Pikmin 3 was a launch title... As for cheap Wii games - I've snapped up loads recently and most are top titles/very good games and all were less than £3.50 each (plus p&p). In fact several cost more for the postage! |
