In a short while (today, probably), we will know everything we've wanted to know about Nintendo's Wii system.

Let's get hyped!

I want price and launch date speculation.

I'll bet $229 and October 2nd.

$199.99
Somewhere between Oct. 1 and Oct. 11

Oh, and as far as times go:
7PM-2AM EST Japan Conference Tonight
9AM-4PM EST New York City Conference Tomorrow

These are the new official times. However, the invitation that Matt over at IGN showed off had listed "Game Time: 10AM-4PM."
I am ASSUMING that this means a one hour press release to start things off, judging by the official time starting one hour earlier than "Game Time"

That's good, because it means we won't have to wait until the Wii hours of the morning for all our precious info. Tonight is the night, people!

:D

It's a confirmed Launch title, so when we get the system launch date, you get the zelda date, as well. :D

I want a launch date, pricing info, and a list of available Virtual Console games to be available between release and the end of the year.

I speculate Octoboer sometime for the release date, and a price of $230.

So Wii marks the first time a Nintendo console released in the US at more than $200. But it also marks the first time since the SNES that a Nintendo console released with a pack-in. Granted, it's not a new Mario game, but a pack-in's a pack-in. It fails to mention any Virtual Console pack-ins, though.

And finally, official prices on Virtual Console games. Glad N64 games will only be as expensive as $10.

Even then, you can not get ANY rare titles... they sold out to Microsoft. No Donkey Kong... no Perfect dark... no Goledeneye... no Killer Instinct... no lots of games.

3/\/\()1470rz FTW!!!

And I still say that RM is going to be for PS3...

...

Now, I know I'm nay-saying alot. But I am looking forward to Twilight Princess. But outside of that, I'm not to worried.... such titles as Mario Kart and Smash Brothers are best enjoyed with multi-player. And I am not going to get a console based on the assumptions that my friends are going to be around every time I want to play something.

Yeah, but NES games are too high, and SNES is pushing it.

I'm not paying 5 bucks for an NES game at all. Damn sure not SMB1. I can get that for 10 cents.

Chrono Trigger for 8 bucks? I can dig it. SMW 1? Hell no.

If they don't bring the prices down, I'll be playing them.

Actually, Nintendo owns the Donkey Kong games (Rare only worked on it), so they can use those. They also own the Goldeneye code, but they have to talk with MGM/Activision in order to get the game on VC.

And RM will be for the largest base. That's the way Agetec's always done it. It could change this time. Who knows?

Largest base?

The only RM from Agetech I've seen outside of Sony was for Gameboy Color... and how many people even KNOW about it.

I can't say that Nintendo has made a system that has matched the Super Nintendo... and for Agetech to switch systems to Nintendo before they know if it will AT LEAST match the greatness of the SNES would be really stupid on their part.

PS3 WILL sell RM... reguardless of the price of the console...

The ONLY problem that ANYONE has with PS3 is the price alone. And I'm sorry, but that doesn't automatically make a system bad. Doesn't matter if it was $5 or $5000.

RPG Maker started on the SNES. It was a big thing long before the Playstation.

And I didn't mean to say "Agetec". I meant Enterbrain. Enterbrain goes for the largest install base for their games. PS3 is very likely to be the home of RT6, but it is not confirmed. That's all I'm saying.
