30$ ? not bad, not great either. An....ok price point.



Around the Network

@Ministaff: Yes it is. But in general the pricing used is 1:1 (30USD:30€). When the product comes to Finland, it's upped a little from the central-european price.
For example, we have:
Wii Remote 50€
Classic Controller 30€
Nunchuck 25€
Wii 269€
The price goes up a little due to diffent tax rates and since many countries have their local importers, the importers want their share too.

@dib8terman: The difference is, that with Wii Speak people around you can hear what the people are talking online. Keeping your own voice down won't prevent parents from hearing how the online people talk.
As you can see, the people who oppose the idea knows this and most propably are the people using bad language and be the ones that get silenced (by someone or their parents silence the people online).

Yeah, the audio conference is a great idea.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

Good news that they have split screen included.



Sounds great. Good news.

Poor Force Unleashed. PS2 ports just don't get the same amount of love anymore...

And good to hear about local multiplayer. I still don't know which idiots decided that removing that feature was a good idea, but with any luck it'll get phased out soon.



Seems kinda expensive but meh no game I want is using Wii Speak so I wont be buying it when it comes out anyways.



What would be REALLY cool would be if they made a WiiSpeak channel (like Skype) that would play in the background no matter what you're playing, allowing you to chat with friends in current games like Brawl.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

That's kinda pricey its a rip off of Playsation Eye/Eye Toy, but Wii Speak can't do video. (PSEye is $40.)

(FYI: You can talk through your PSEye.)

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
