I REALLY want Resident Evil: Revelaitons it sucks that I haven't beaten the first one, Resident Evil: Revelations, though. :(
Those Pokemon look AWESOME!
At least Harvest Moon 64 isn't the tremendous price that is Donkey Kong 64 at $590! :O

You must found a rare copy of DK 64. There was plenty of copies bought up. I bought mine for around 7 dollars. I will never play it though. Just too much collecting!

 

Manuelf I think I would have the same problem as you trying to order it from there. But I would seriously try if I could read Spanish!

On  Amazon it said $590.

Oh yeah brand new, I can imagine so. probably would be rare to find any old games brand new other than random sports games and Octomania Wii.

I see now. Whoever still has their old N64 games, sealed, is very lucky.

The Wii U is coming at the perfect time. The Wii's sales are subsiding and the hype for a new Nintendo home console is building. This year is the perfect year to release the Wii U. (I didn't read the article because I already dis-agreed with the title.)

I would love to try Boulder Dash in 3D.

I have said it multiple times. It would Behoove Nintendo to put this out now! 6 months, one year, longer, who knows when the 720 or PS4 is coming out. Establish your selves, make some mistakes, etc. By the time the other two are out you should be in prime position!


Sega tried your idea with the US Saturn launch and it was a complete disaster.

Its worked for several companies. That was just a misfortune that SEGA was just going down in popularity/sales.

Well it could very well back fire. But there is a huge Wii user base who will be able to play there games on the wii U. Plus Ninteno will now have almost 2 years in which they have officially been working on this, and who knows how long after. Did anyone actually like the Saturn controller?

Hopefully Nintendo's business practices have changed like they have said they have and we can look forward to better relations with 3rd parties, reduced shovelware, and better online. Also the Sega Genesis, Sega 32X, and Sega CD were on life support for a while after the SNES was done with it. Saturn had to come out!

Now on the Wii side, it was not that big of deal last year that they had hardly any games. Yes Nintendo lost money, but they did put a ton of money into R&D for a Wii U and a 3DS which tanked for the first 3-4 months. The Wii sold Pretty good this Christmas, but it is obviously time to go. So is it time? Yes it is. The Wii came with weaker graphics and fewer options for developers to make things happen on it. The five year cycle is complete and has passed. I think as long as the price is right people will be ready. Even if they make some mistakes the extra time will help it out I think.

 

Do you think other wise?

No! That's exactly what I was thinking.
