That's NOT a big deal to me, I barely play online with my brother and honestly most people don't do it. I only use the online for the Wii Shop, Weather Channel and from time to time the Nintendo Channel. The only fun I had with online was with Mario Kart and probably PES. Smash Bros and Dragon Ball were TERRIBLE online! Probably Call of Duty and Goldeneye are fun too but I haven't play them. Also, if I already have the Wii, why would I buy it for VC games? I would have to pay for them again so no thanks. Only thing I admit would had been great is Netflix, but oh well. Only problem is... this should be cheaper. The last Wii (without GC compatibility but with WiFi) costs $89. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=21944233&findingMethod=rr So this one should be cheaper as there's no reason to buy this one at a higher price. |
Not in Canada. There is a reason this was started in Canada and not in US. That $89 deal was for BlackFriday/holidays in US (just as the blue one was for last year) and it will be gone soon.
Currently the Wii with the two WiiSport games are only $129. So this is a truly core gaming experience for $99 and will be worldwide after the holidays and their special deals are gone. Its also likely the WiiSports bundle for $129 will remain as it would mean only $30 for both games and online vs no online and $40 for both games if bought separately. i.e. two skus worldwide for a part of next year at least.
