Personally I think they've came in at a great time and the prices of everything are great, it's not too overpriced like most new consoles and it's out to prove that graphics aren't everything. I'm really considering saving up to buy a Wii (obviously I'll be getting a 360, but yeah) just for the party games.

The whole virtual game thing is really cool, so what do you think? Who'll be getting a Nintendo Wii then?

haha, sorry about the stupid mistake!

I like the controllers idea, it would be very cool to play a 1st person shooter that way. However, I don't know if we gonna buy it.

hehe i wonder if Australia will come under the Japan release date, probly although the chances of me getting it are minimal, but it sounds cool and doesnt look to bad either

Meh, I will still be going to my friends to play Super Smash Bros Brawl......not worth buying for me in my opinion!

I might actually buy one... hmm

I like the idea of the controller, but they should put up more information about the improved gamecube controller that you can buy for it, I'd probably only buy it for the party games though, like Mario Golf etc.

Yeah the wii looks cool and all but i don't think i will have the funds to buy one

I wouldn't mind knowing what some of the games being planned are though...
