Now Wii know
Nintendo's new gaming console, the Wii, will be available in stores on November 19th for the sevlt price of $249.99. Also for the virtual console, the platform which older Nintendo games can be downloaded and played, the games will cost $5, $8, and $10 for NES, SNES and N64 games respectively.
When PaJaMo called me about this late last night, he said "Why two days later than PS3?" And I've got to say I'm with him on this one. It would seem like they'd want to launch at least a week earlier. Also I think the pricing on the virtual console games is a bit dissappointing. $8 for an SNES game that has been available on computer ROMs for forever? Hopefully Nintendo will lessen this blow by offering a shit-ton of games (right now 10 new games a month is the word). Also it'll be interesting to see if only Nintendo made games will be released or if we'll see some of our old 3rd party favorites too.
