Aren't you forgetting how much of a surprise motion controlled gaming was when they unveiled it? Certainly caught Sony and MS off guard...
haha you think Iwata will buy an iPad?
I haven't had a chance to see the Xbox or PS3 UI, I wonder if it'll just be the same.
I like that audio interview clip included on the article.
I look forward to getting Netflix running on the Wii, I hope the interface is super easy to use...
True, but just goes to show you how much Ninty has to do NOW to have a year similar to 2008. They have to release ALL 3 of their biggest IP's.
Crazy.
Did anyone really think Nintendo, or any company for that matter, could match or beat what they did in 2008?
Who plans on picking up Endless Ocean? I think I might.
I don't think its that, the original also was priced that cheaply and performed well both in sales and review scores.
It's simply a matter of understanding from the onset that the game isn't a huge deep game like Zelda or something that took them a ton of time to develop, and pricing it accordingly.
Wii Play has been the bundle to bust all bundles, boy oh boy!
What's so terrible about it? It allows more than one person to interact via voice in one room, a real downside if you've ever played with a 360 headset.
Nintendo really seems to be on a bundle rage with the Monster Hunter Tri/Classic Controller Pro bundle and now this...do bundles really work that well?
Seriously, they charged $30 for it alone, an extra $20 with Animal Crossing and now its free. Great deal if you were planning on picking up Deep Blue anyway.
@Seferoth75: Yeah its like that story recently about the WiiWare developer who said people should stop crying about poor sales of M titles and just make good games.

@ScottBarkman What would you want them to do to change their direction? Be specific.
@indiemike I think this could totally go worldwide, don't Wii gamers everywhere complain about not enough mature titles?
Blue would be great for that upcoming Endless Ocean 2 sequel...afterall it is called "Forever Blue" in Japan.
The D rating in Japan is liken to an M rating on ESRB here in the US, so maybe this is a sign Nintendo is starting to really give extra marketing thought to mature titles on Wii?
Thats true wouldn't it have been a bit easier to just do a quick google search for prices on stuff first?
Cue rechargeable battery maker's entrance....
Well you're saying pushing technology just in terms of graphics.
You're forgetting about the tech involved with motion controls that Nintendo introduced before Sony or MS this gen...
