MrAdventure lordy the controllers and attachments alone are going to make this cost so so much

just how the fuck do you fit four flailing gamers (of all things) in front of a tv? it is a mystery to me (i realize they will get tired and have to sit down but my god the smell)

i want this console so fucking bad

the_dudefather i wonder if the gamecube controller can be used to play the downloaded games, as to save on buying a retro controller

im so getting majoras mask when its available to download

Mockery As I recall, you can't download the Gamecube games, you can just play your gamecube discs in it. So yeah, it's nice that they added in that backwards compatibility because I love too many of my gamecube games to get rid of them.

RaNkeri Holy shit! GameCube too!? Damn, I have to get that console. I wanna play Resident Evil remake and zero :O

the_dudefather true dat

from wikipedia:

The Virtual Console is an online service, similar to Xbox Live Arcade, that allows users to download games not only for the NES, Super NES, and Nintendo 64, but also Sega's Genesis/Mega Drive and NEC's TurboGrafx-16 systems. Recently, Nintendo of Japan posted on its Virtual Console webpage that games from the MSX home computer will be available as well.[17] In a financial report issued by the publisher Tecmo, it was stated that the company promised to support the Virtual Console "aggressively", however, no further specifics were mentioned.[25] Nintendo has also stated that this service "...will be home to new games conceived by indie developers whose creativity is larger than their budgets."[1]

In Japan, Satoru Iwata confirmed Famicom games would cost JP¥500, Super Famicom games JP¥800, and Nintendo 64 games JP¥1,000. (approx. €4 to €8 including VAT, c.2006).[26] In a presentation in Spain, it was mentioned that Nintendo of Spain was considering a pre-paid card option for its Virtual Console purchases.[25]

At Nintendo's September 14th Press conference, the prices for the US were confirmed at $5 for NES games, $8 for Super NES games, and $10 for Nintendo 64 games. Approximately 30 games will be released though the Virtual Console between the console's launch and the end of the calendar year, with 10 additional games being released every month after that for at least the next year.[citation needed]

i cant see myself getting too many virtual console games, maybe one or two N64 or Snes titles

RaNkeri I've heard rumours that you could be able to play old NES, SNES and SEGA games with Wii, is this true?

Same here pretty much, except one my roommates is getting it. I'll still get games and stuff for it, but I'll wait until after I graduate and get a job (a good one) before I pick up any next-gen consoles. Two of the same console under the same roof is also, well, superfluous. But OMGOMGOMG CAN'T WAIT

Grislygus I just wish they hadn't done the bundle thing. I would have much rather spent that extra fifty on the Metal Slug collection.
