"We haven't announced pricing for Wii U, but you can definitely expect that pricing is going to be different"

i don't know what that means, but he's making it not sound like the +/-€250 (max €299) console i was hoping for.

TheFirstClassic5274d ago

Well, the wii u will be more expensive than the wii, that's a guarantee, not sure why he kind of made it sound kind of like it's a positive thing. However, I guess that's just what Reggie does.

TruthbeTold5274d ago

I'm willing to pay a little more than I did for the Wii 6 years ago, but more than that? Nintendo... overprice this thing at your own peril. The 3DS was the last straw for me and day one Nintendo console purchases. I like my 3DS and all, but I got burned by the pricing shenanigans. Period. Not gonna happen again.

Khordchange5274d ago

It better be 350 or lower reggie, unless you are talking about the pricing being different from the 3DS.

The idea is very cool, will se how they will run with it. Im hoping for some wii sports 2

DeeZee5274d ago

Honestly, this thing needs to come in at $299 or Nintendo is going to have another up hill battle on their hands. The 3DS proves that Nintendo and high prices is a recipe for disaster.

If it was at around £200 it would sell like hot cakes!

Maybe they'll do something like a "One Laptop per Child" program.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi64d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer65d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot65d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno65d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay65d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno63d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK64d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
