KP9001  180 I'm going Weasel in 3 months! Where will I end up going?                   Since: 01-30-06 From: Show Low, AZ Last post: 6298 days Last view: 6298 days |

| Okay, i've got $550 to spend on Wii...
I might not use it all. But that depends. What are your thoughts? What should I get? (Besides LoZ:TP) I've got to have a memory card, at least ONE extra controller (combo), and at least two OTHER games. But I'm not so sure.... I need a bit of help. Can you guys help me budget $550 towards Wii launch? It's not that I'm lazy, I just don't know what to buy! |

| You do not really need a memorycard, a standard SDCard should do it. | |||

| I preordered it today. I bought an extra wiimote and nunchuk and one of those classic controllers. Other than that it was only the console itself, and Wii sports that comes along.
I almost spent as much money as you got here. I´m not sure which games that will be released at launch. But you could always buy some GC games as those works on it too. I´m not sure what you should do. |

| Er, yeah. That's what I meant. SD Card.
Account for LoZ, because that's a given. |

| I'm totally groovin' to Red Steel... And I'd love to see what the approach to Metroid Prime 3 is. I didn't like the feel in a controller, but maybe with the Wiimote, I'll have a better time with the whole thing.
Not only that, but I'm gonna be digging some Virtual Console games, and all of the other little goodies that WiiFi and WiiConnect has for us. |

| I`ve read that they´ll release 5-10 Virtual Console games each month or something like that. At least according to the game magazine I subscribe to.
I hope it´ll be some more, though. |

5 to 10 Virtual Console games each month? I seriously doubt they'll do that. At that rate, it 'll take years until all the NES, SNES, and N64 will become available to download.  |

| Hoping that Super Mario Galaxy is loads better than Super Mario Sunshine, go for that. By the way, the Wii isn't out yet, is it? I haven't really followed any of these new gaming systems. | |||

SD Card's aren't that expensive so pick the biggest one you can just to be on the safe side.  If you can get a good deal on a 4GB one, for instance, then grab it.
There's supposed to be 60 VC games available at launch - 30 from the Nintendo library and 30 from the others. Then they'll kick in the 10 a month thing. The reasoning is pretty good; why would you want to put the whole library out at launch and then have nothing to add to it? Plus there'll also be whatever original games come out for download. |

| Well, I went ahead and made my list. Keep in mind that I pay 6% state tax and 2% county tax. I've used typical prices for games.
$249.99 Wii Console $19.99 Classic Controller $39.99 Wii-mote $19.99 Nunchuk $49.95 Twilight Princess $49.95 Excite Truck $49.95 Red Steel $479.81 Sub-Total (s) --TAXES-- s(1.08) = g $518.19 GRAND TOTAL (g) $550.00 Budget $31.81 left! Success! All this for the price of JUST a PS3 console. Can't beat that! I've decided to wait for an SD card. All I have right now is a 128MB one, which is okay for photos and such. Besides, there's the 512MB onboard flash that is ample because there's not much due to launch. As for the Wii points card- If the Wii doesn't come with a Wii Points Card, I'll get a 2000, and if the 5000/Classic Controller combo is made available at launch, i'll get that instead of just the Classic Controller itself. |

| Everything I ordered costed 499$.
And I didn´t preorder neither Excite Truck, Twilight Princess or Red Steel. Edit: What pisses me off is that everything is more expensive here. The Wii itself costed 374$. (edited by Fire Trapster on 10-31-06 04:37 PM) |

| There's so many games I want on launch, it's silly. It's getting to the stage that some of the games I want are rumored to have been delayed, and I start to think "Yes! I can wait and save for that one now!"
Here's the games I'm intending on buying: Twilight Princess Metroid Prime 3 Wario Ware Rayman I'm also quite interested to see how good Farcry is, although this is the least likely out of all the games I've mentioned that I'll buy. I'll think about purchasing the Virtual Console games as I see them. |

| As far as th VC games go, I personally want Top Gear Rally for N64 and Goldeneye 007.
NES, SNES, Mega Drive, MSX, and TG games i don't really care about. I might get one or two of them. I'd also like to point out that the Wii is rumored to output 720p. This might be that one last big secret that Nintendo had in store for right before launch..... |

Hm, that's an interesting thought. Everyone's gonna want to be able to offer that game, but Nintendo doesn't own the rights to it and Microsoft probably can't make an N64 emulator for it.  |

And dont forget that Activision currently hold the 007 licence until about 2012, therefore preventing anyone else from developing/publishing a James Bond related game for any platform.

| Oh come on, if Nintendo has the rights to use Solid Snake in SSB:B then I'm sure they can work something out between themselves and Rare. I'm sure there's going to be much collaboration in the future regarding this subject. | |||

| Rare isn't going to give Nintendo anything for the Wii thanks to their ties with Microsoft. DS is fine but you're not going to see Rare give characters to Nintendo for Brawl.
It would probably cost more for Nintendo to release Goldeneye than it would make. |
