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)

Storm's right. Nintendo doesn't decide what content gets on their system... They can only disallow it if it's freakishly inappropriate. And actualy, Avatar is shaping up pretty well, if I say so myself.

Edit - Spongebob looks pretty awesome, too.

Do you seriosly need four games? Have you ever had that many games at once? Even two is a bit to keep up with. I suggest buying only one game to start, and more later.

Too many good games are coming out, Storm. Who can really miss out on TP, Red Steel, and all these games? Really...

So? Once you're done with one game, you'll have more money to buy another.

I personally like to play many games simultaneously... However, I am devoting more time to TP than to any other, but I'll be playing Red Steel for my FPS fix, Wii Sports for a multiplayer sports fix (and to show the system off to non-gamers), and Elebits for my hardcore gamer multiplayer fix.

Of course they do... you think Nintendo can afford giving away $90 worth of stuff to everyone who buys a Wii? And the SNES controller was much less, not to mention that "free" isn't really free because they need to make money and it is put into the final price anyway.

 

[Bulerias]

What happens when I DON'T want Wii Sports? In Japan, the system is NOT bundled with the game, and the system costs roughly $210. It should've been the same price in the US, but they should've gave Japan Wii Sports in the system too... FOR NO COST!

Okay, let's count it up.

Wii [hardware unit] - $99
Wiimote + Nunchuck - $60
Free game [Wii Sports] - $50

= Roughly $200.

See?

I am trying to prove that Nintendo overpriced the Wii... It should be sold for $200.
