What is this? SEGA trolls Nintendo week?

I thought they were done with that 16 years ago.

Then again the "Wii is the world's most expensive board game" comes to mind.

They just wish they were still in the hardware business - just a wee bit of bitterness is all!

Also, wha'sup with the Wii Bingo comment of 'people only buying Wii Sports'.  I mean c'mon, I thought we were past all this!

 

Edit: How long before Carl posts this up as "news"?  lol

The insides of the thing are quite outdated, and since the Nintendo sold the GC for $50, then yes, he may be right.

I thought the GC was at $99 before it was discontinued.

You also have to consider that $99 meant much more than it does now.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I have heard on these very forums about it being $50 toward the end... when the Wii was already out.

Just because you heard it on these forums doesn't make it true.

Before SEGA gets a ton of (imo undeserved) crap, this is one Studio Director not "SEGA". The OP included that, but there are many who "forget" to read it...

Repeatedly, from different people. I just can't find anything but good rumors on google.

The fancy-pancy slot-loader drive thingy alone probably puts the Wii out of that price range

This reminds me of Nintendo's on the Wii and it's price
