I think that's the Japanese release and price.

The US is getting it November 19 for $250 with a Wii Sports disc containing stuff like tennis, baseball, golf, etc.

I don't think the US would get it before Japan, nor do I think it'd vary that much.

I think the conference for the US is tomorrow. Launch is supposed to be worldwide, I think. Zero, back me up here.

I'd say the chances of us getting a different release are slim to none.

I want to pay 212 and no sports disc...unless it's all mario characters...then I want it.

I'd rather keep my two hundred bucks and draw a picture of Mario dying under one of his infamous karts.

I want to go live in Japan. Singapore is too westernized, although its still in my heart.

People care more about New York blowing up than, say, Eugene, Oregon.

What are you gonna spend your 200$ on then? Stupid stuff like food and electricity I'll wager!

For 200...I think I could hire an Italian plumber to run around saying "It's a me...MAIRO!" for a few hours, and I bet it would be a lot more entertaining.

Still better then ass raping buying a PS3 will put you through though.

It is being released here first, supposedly as a stab at Sony.

IDE · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 15, 2006, 04:01:46 PM »

Can anyone explain the points shit?

Like 500 for a NES game and 800 for a SNES game?

Do you have to buy the points?

If I want 50 different NES games am I gonna have to pay 250$?

If so that's fucking bullshit.

Max Con · « **Reply #15 on:** Sep 15, 2006, 04:30:22 PM »

100 points is about a buck. Stack it.

And, yeah, it's clearly a rip off. The only Virtual Console games I would have even wanted were Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, but that isn't going to happen.

I prefer ROMs anyhow!

Points system? Koolaid!

Well, they're the Wiipoints.

Except they'll be an even bigger rip off than Microsoft Points.

Are you guys convinced that it's coming out Nov. 19 for $250 yet

P.S. we got the DS before Japan did too

PapaMidnight · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 18, 2006, 09:25:58 PM »

100 Wii Points = 100 Yen, 1 US Dollar, or 1 Euro. Even though the actual values are all different. Nintendo is weird.

IDE · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 18, 2006, 09:46:09 PM »

So how many NES games do you think would fit onto a wii disc?

Max Con · « **Reply #26 on:** Sep 18, 2006, 10:58:31 PM »

Every NES game ever most likely.

Derrick · « **Reply #27 on:** Sep 18, 2006, 11:17:07 PM »

With enough room for a South Park Episode.
