The Wii looks to be coming out on Nov. 19th, going for $250, comes with a controller, nunchucku and Wii Sports (to make it the only current gen release with a game with it). Apparently Wii Play comes with a controller as well, so looks like I'll be reserving a Wii, classic controller, Wii Play and SSBB.

I swear, if SSBB is online, all your asses are MINE. LONG LIVE JIGGLYPUFF!!!!

They said a long time ago that SSBB was gonna be their first online game for the Wii. So that'll be fun.

The power of the console is definitely weaker from the other two graphic dependent consoles, but I have a friend on atariage that used to program for Namco (He did Pac-Man World, and I think world 2 as well), and he programs for a different, disclosed company now. Point is, he got a dev kit already, and he said just by the numbers of how the controller works, its going to be an amazing system, despite not having HD support or the horsepower from the other two.

I think it was smart that they cut HD support to cut on cost, because, who has an HDTV now? I know a lot more than when the announcement was made, but still, the only people I know of that has a HDTV are the officers and some of the coworkers.

Hell I still actively use a 1985 color TV >_>

I'm not really looking forward to the Wii. They always have some big release that should be great but they screw over last minute. Like the gamecube it was a smart idea at first but then they messed that up by the disc size people didn't like because they couldn't play their old nintendo games on it. Then the "Wii" was supposed to be called the revolutions and the controller screwed it over. One lady is actually thinking of sewing cause she was looking for a new vibrator and said it and the Wii controller looked very similar.

Do you have even the slightest clue what you're talking about?

LOL, nice rant Riz...

I think the Wii will be the last next-gen I buy, but will be within a year that it comes out. I love the fact that SSBB is coming out again (not that it wouldn't, but it's still awesome). The only reason I'm even getting a PS3 is because of Final Fantasy (the newer ones that will come out)....I'm a die-hard FF fan
