Whoops forgot about putting down Super Mario World and whatever else is good. :gyroiddoh:

I'll have to spend $319.14 dollars on launch date. Seeing as I'm buying FF III. But if I can save up the money for points and TP on release date, $414.89


I don't need any extra controllers... I'm getting the rest for Christmas.


>_< Only crazed fanboys would spend that much money on release date, I'm waiting for Christmas for all the extras.

Remember, you need 500 points for an NES game, 800 for an SNES game, and 1000 for an N64 game. That's roughly $5 for an NES game, $8 for an SNES game, and $10 for an N64 game.

But still... you're not getting any Wii games, even though the Wii comes with Wii Sports?

Crazed fanboys? Ooooh, boy, are we back to calling me a fanboy? I just like to buy everything that's good at ONCE, since I actually have the resources to earn money by myself.

I never meant that directly, I'm just saying who would even think of spending that much on the Wii at launch >_< I myself workied through the summer to get enough for the Wii and FF III, that's all I can get.

Hmm, good, because I thought we were getting on the right track... Since I wasn't called a fanboy for 2 months straight.




Well, I worked a lot this summer, so I got a lot of money. I still don't have enough, though, so I need to either bump Trauma Center to Christmas, or just try... working more.

Or someone with too many friends that gets to buy all their controllers. >_>

and its not like you can go tell your friends who dont usually play games to go buy a wii controller so they can play, that wont work, you're going to have to buy it for them. : (

and i've mainly been wanting the wii for its multiplayer. : o

The package, a Classic Controller, THDJ, and 40$ worth of points.

It was around 360, if I remember correctly.

But what happened to quality over quantity? Jesus, you got Avatar, Barnyard and Spongebob receiving the glory of being "launch titles". Is Nintendo really that desperate for launch titles?

Third party companies made the decission themselves. (that's what I assumed atleast)
