That's the sad part about the Wii. The good games come in bursts. You get one every now and then, when all of a sudden, Nintendo decides to release a bunch of their first party games. After that...poof...waiting for anything decent...Originally Posted by norkusa
I would upgrade my Wii if they would add on HDMI support without having to use 3rd party cables (which don't do much).
This news makes me glad I sold mine to get a 360 when I did, or else I would have lost money on it. Still, I might eventually pick another one up once there are more worthwhile games at reasonable prices (It's still crazy that ExciteTruck, which wasn't even that popular to begin with, still costs $50 new).
I've seen a couple posts with people thinking everyone and thier mother has one by now. Tat may have held true for awhile but I used to have one and traded mine in with the lack of titles and quality of games.
Working at a game store myself I've seen countless people do the same...we're currently sitting on more used Wii systems than new!
I think many people, myself included, will be re-buying a Wii for the lower price as the titles are plentiful enough now to be worth it.
All the past mario's, metroids, zelda, etc. (which I haven't played due to $50 price tags) and future titles: Motion Plus games, Muramasa, Little King Story, New SMB, Mario Galaxy 2, etc.

Cool. LMK when the Wii hit's $49.99.
I wonder if people on craigslist will finally stop trying to sell their used ones for $250 now?

Whatever. I run an afterschool program. I'd love a price drop at this point, that's another $50 I can budget towards a game or more wiimotes.
Edit: Meh.

Bumping for "officialness"
RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.
I remember way back on a Tips & Tricks magazine it said Nintendo Revolution controller revealed and it had 4 differen't controller colors like red green black and white. do those exist? (first party controllers)
Does that mean you're buying a Wii because of the price drop?
I was going to ask how many people here are going to be buying a Wii because of the drop. It seems like most people either have one already or aren't planning on getting a Wii for any price.
I was strongly tempted, but decided to continue holding off. And if I was willing to spend $200 frivolously on anything right now, I'd first buy the Beatles remasters boxed set before the Wii.
(Fortunately for me I can't get the boxset right now - otherwise I'd be stuck trying to decide whether to go Mono or Stereo, and I just can't decide which I'd get!)
