The Wii price cut

It is looking more and more like Nintendo may have no option to make the Wii cheaper at retail, despite what Satoru Iwata says. Here's why.

"The Microsoft Xbox 360 price cuts now make the Wii look very expensive. You get a whole lot more for your money with the 360.
"

so does GTA 4 VS Wii-fit( price wise)
But its not stopping people from getting a Wii, or wii-fit for that matter. i honestly think this guy is Full OF SHYTE.

Price of the 360 already dropped and Wiis are still selling.

"The Wii is going to look increasingly last gen."
like the audience care? i mean they actually loved Wii on a bigger Screen.

his statement "The Microsoft Xbox 360 price cuts now make the Wii look very expensive. You get a whole lot more for your money with the 360." still seems true though...

xplosneer5863d ago

It's been that way for quite a while and still no one seems to care..

anh_duong5862d ago

people were prepared to pay more than 300 pounds for wii before xmas so i don't think this argument is 100% persuasive.

i however do agree that a wii price will come soon.

Shane Kim would rather buy an Xbox 360 than a Nintendouche Pii,and that's saying ALOT!;)

And I'd rather buy a PS3 than a Wii. Hey, at least we agree on something :-D.

By the way, am I the only one who doesn't think that the 360 and PS3 should come out with gimmicky Wii-mote ripoffs?

eagle215863d ago

The Wii is selling like hotcakes and "selling out" still in America. The 360 (or PS3) has nothing to do with it. Nothing. :)

LightningPS35863d ago

they could even be thinking about a Wii price cut. When in reality you still can't even walk into the store and buy one.

Fux4Bux5863d ago

They're still selling plenty ripping people off at $250.

N64: Recompiled — Creating Native PC Ports Is A Godsend For Game Preservation

"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.

il beat you to the ski-lift,

framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?

talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr

morning rant over.

here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game

SK1 had a fairly good framerate. sk2 maybe not so much ha

Some food for thought:

Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?

As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.

I mean. They may borrow them…

Is it realistically needed though I would not personally give anyone my old carts for games that are already persevered and easily available online

The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.

Profchaos16m ago

There might need to be a bit of clarification recompilation is not the same as decompilation.

This is basically a container to excite the rom within but allows for all sorts of beat additions and tricks like new lighting effects such as ray tracing to be added.

But decompilation would ultimately be king as it allows for a widespread porting capabilities and uses the assets from games to build a native install for PC or whatever the target system is e.g Mario 64 for PC or sonic mania for psvita / wii
