Socoder -> Nintendo Gaming -> WiiU Pricing/Release Date
Thu, 13 Sep 2012, 02:47
Jayenkai	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!''

rockford	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!

Jayenkai	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!''

Afr0	Fuck that shit! Once WiiU is released, all Wii games will drop to 50%, so I'll be happy -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

steve_ancell	I like your positive way of thinking Afr0.

Jayenkai	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!''

rockford	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!
