Nintendo Wii

I had a dream last night that Rare released 'Microsoft Combat Simulator' on the Wii. It was basically multiplayer from Goldeneye/Perfect Dark with slightly improved graphics, 8-player netplay, and ****-loads of levels and options. I vividly remember strafing with the nunchuck.

I thought I'd mention that as games I dream about usually happen.

I'd love to see Microsoft take advantage of the controller, as well as Nintendo having a bash at upper-end hardware with the 360. That sort of collaboration would really leave Sony stale.

I wish I worked real high up at Microsoft, like Bill Gates high - I'd make that happen.

I think we all wish that, but not really for the Rare games $$$$$

Wii price = ?169.99 with wii sports me thinks. + i think you wont be able to get it without that game I reckon !

[Simmy]

Its in the box in Japan and the US is it not, so I'm guessing you might be right

[MartyG]

I'd say ?169.99 with Wii Sports too, Nintendo have already stated it will be less than 250 Euros ( and that it would be less than $250 that turned into $249.99 ).

I dont think its included with the Japanese console. It will retail for 4,000 ish yen.

Ohhh this is exciting! Still no sign on VG+ putting up pre-orders though.

Unless Europe is before US which I dont believe it would be, I'll be importing again. Nintendo do shaft us way to much to ever trust them again.



One question though, will my Wavebird still work properly with the Wii?

Doesn't it take Cube pads? Surely it'll just be a matter of checking the receiver fits right enough.

Holy ****! That looks mega sexxeh!!

[ukplumber]

i'm going for ?149.95 with Wii sports. Anything over is getting a little too close to the Xbox 360 core pack price. Saying that anything up to ?174.95 is still good value imo. 45 mins to go!!

Not sure how reliable this is, but it looks positive

EDIT: I gather the above was taken from this blog entry.

Are there any sites covering the UK press conference? Can't find any mention of it anywhere.
