For the tech it's offering, the Wii could probably be sold for less than £100 and still make money.  This will happen at some point, and when it does I could see many core gamers who currently dismiss the console picking one up because, for all the naysaying, it does offer some excellent, exclusive, core games (just this year you could include Sin and Punishment, MH3, SMG2 and potentially Metroid, Epic Mickey and DKC).

SMG2, epic mickey and DKC, core games?

I hate the term 'core', but they appeal to so called 'core' gamers, 

so therefore they can be classified as 'core games'

games don't have to appeal to core gamers to be core games

 

they just need to stick to the traditional statues of gaming to be core

 

SMG2,DKC would be core games

epic mickey is a big question

Thanks for clearing that up

There are only a few interesting games... So RRP would have to be 99€ and the actual price when I buy it used should be something like 50€.

Yeah, I'm not very interested. There are a few games I'm interested in but only a few.

If Zelda was made to run with ordinary controllers I'd buy a Wii at $149. Also if Kirby and Donky kong was for regular controller that would strengthen my incentive.

But as I understand it Zelda, DKC and Kireby require motion controls? I feel motion controls are sloppy. I want to play classical games with classical controlls.

You could just buy the GCN version of Twilight Princess and play it on your Wii if you want classic controls.  Personally, the improved aiming for distance weapons makes the waggle swordplay (which is slightly annoying, but not really a big issue) worth it imo.  Lack of camera control wasn't really an issue either, EAD has some of the best autocams of any dev.

DKC and Kirby use motion 'shakes' for singular actions, like NSMB or Wario Land.... they're all playable using the Wiimote NES style afaik, which is about as classic as it gets honestly.

I meant the new Zelda but yeah I would like to play TwilitePrinces too.

I can't play with Wiimote. I wanna play like I did with the N64, a controller with a stick.

I guess I have to skip Nintendo this generation then.

Zelda uses the Nunchuck, which has an analog stick on it.  As for DKC and Kirby, why would you want to use a stick?  2D platformers are better with a D-pad anyway.  The Wii Remote held NES style works great.

Well I refuse to use the nunchuck since its motion controls yes?

So can i play Zelda swords and DKC and Kirby with the D-pad alone?

Meh... i'd probably not buy it at all because of the lack of appealing games [for me] that it has

LMAO at "playstation guy"

 

Miyamoto has said that he wants to please the hardcore loyals zelda fans and give them all the ways to play the game so he should be adding it

but yeah he has also said he is trying make the zelda work in a hardcore way with motion control so you could still be damned but most probably it will be there

As far as i know, DKC and Kirby control the same as NSMBWii, but Zelda is going to be motion-plus exclusive by necessity.

When they start making games that you don't have to "waggle" the remote at. I really liked the Twilight Princess, but after I talked to a few of my buddies that bought it on the Gamecube, I wished I had too. I hope, like Sony said they will, is make all of their games with the motion controls or by using just a regular controller. I doubt they will, but if they do, I'll definately pick one up.
