The way I see it, they shouldn't be releasing the Wii-Mini in the US at all.
It was a failure over here in the UK, since a second hand Wii Console is about £20-30 these days, so forking out more money for a version that can't play gamecube games and is only slightly 'mini' compared to the Wii is pointless.

Nintendo should've took the money they are using to distribute the Wii-Mini and use it to further advertise the Wii-U and the fact it can play Wii games too and in HD.

I got a wii u cheap and can finally play wii games
im getting the wii mini just for the motion plus controller with nunchuck and game. Seperatley they cost about 100 dollars new so free wii mini or about 20 for it since I could probably find the game and controller a little cheaper

Bye!

Close the door on your way out

Agreed, the Wii was probably my least favorite console of all time (of the Big 4, including Sega). Maybe the Sega Saturn, but I really don't remember that one to well.

rjguess3826d ago

Yes, close the door to the wii ane concentrate on the Wii U. The wii u can play wii games so shut the wii down. No point in making games for that system any longer.

MadMen3826d ago

For Nintendo Yes.

For the consumer, Keep the Wii, skip the WiiU.

willie323826d ago

I said goodbye to the Wii within one month of the purchase. It collected a lot of dust.

Kryptix3826d ago

Only bought the Wii for the exclusives, but was never the console for anything else. I think that's the case with the Wii U, too and I'm sure the console will reach a new peak in sales once a new Legend of Zelda comes out...but nobody buys Nintendo consoles for anything else, just the exclusives.

Sometimes newer isn't better when it comes to hardware. Here are five subpar console redesigns that chopped a feature too many.

I would also add the Gameboy Micro. The Gameboy Advance SP was already a little bit too small, and the Micro which was made even smaller, was impossible to play for more than 5 minutes without destroying your hands.

abstractel902d ago

I quite liked the PSP redesign :shrugs:.

plmkoh902d ago

If it was released today everyone would be praising it.

PrimeVinister901d ago

I would definitely agree on that. The infrastructure is there for a digital-only device and physical media isn't as big a deal.

The very reasons it was rejected in 2009 are flipped on their head.

Note to author. Make the section titles BIGGER than the text for the body of each section. It reads better.

Lol 1 dislike. Bet the author can't take any criticism. Constructive or otherwise.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5077d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905077d ago (Edited 5077d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5077d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5077d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495077d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5077d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5077d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
