Omg its so not expensive O_o (no sarcasm). Are they going to make a profit lol? Well Wii Sports was not bundled in Japan so i still believe Nintendoland will be bundled for U.S. :) So 279.99 US for basic and 349.99 US for Premium. DAY ONE PREMIUM FOR ME :D

Man... VERY Tempting indeed.

I'm almost convinced to go day 1
I just need one Reggie-bomb

Damn, that gamepad price....

Your computer eats that much in seconds.

Probably for multitasking. Games use it too so deponds.

Japan usually gets things a bit more expensive than us, too--I predict $250 and maybe $320 for us.

What is Nintendo Network Premium?  I don't get it.  Is it like Playstation Plus where you get certain rewards in exchange for a monthly subscription?

Should be around €250 White/€300 Black in Europe, unless NoE does something stupid.

I'm going to be broke this christmas.

Want to point out the anonymous rumors were false.

LOL 1.5 IDIOTS I TOLD YOU

1 OS/system + 1 Game

Not 1.5

The neogaf was fake as usually
