360 Core launced at $299 (no hard drive, wired controller). Premium launched at $399.

I expect the $250, $300 and $350 prices. $350 comes with WiiMote and Nintendoland. $300 comes with Nintendoland and some small token, $250 "You already have a Wii, use all that shit" version.

I expect the regular media to look at the high price and think that it is too much for a child's toy and look at the low price as too much for "a tablet controller for the Wii". (See Toys R Us story on their $150 kid's tablet).

Anybody who thinks the Wii U is a child's toy, but the other consoles aren't, is somebody who I would consider to be a slimeball piece of shit that needs to be thrown in a trash compactor.

Did you read the article in the NYT last week basically describing it as such. I'm telling you, I really don't think the regular media will catch on at first that this is anything more than a new controller for the Wii, particularly on the day of announcement (when they'll already have been bamboozled by the iPhone announcement tomorrow). Those people do consider PlayStation and Xbox to be kid's toys as well.  I'm talking Today show etc...

Add me to the list of hypocrites who wants gaming to be a key part of everyone's life but doesn't want "normals" in my hobby.

PS3/360 game? Wii U sequel?

No idea. It's probably a Nintendo exclusive, though.

I have a feeling the Conduit news will be 3DS related.

Mega64 Does Fallout 3

Best source of Japanese gaming news in English closes down.

Oh fuckity fuck no!

$400. $300 for the gimped model.

7 years later, you can buy the 360 for those same prices.

$300 for the wii u wouldn't be that bad considering the controller price and it will come with 8gb flash plus better hardware. Analysts are saying that it has to be sub $250 or it's game over. Would they say that about PS4? Doubt it.

it's fucking ridiculous man. It's like being fucked in the ass by an increasingly girthy dick. You never get comfortable.

You guys never checked out the article yesterday it's all about this subject.

How will Microsoft and Sony respond to the Wii U launch?

Price cuts

Also, talking about a great gif opportunity, check out 4mins 30 seconds of the Elephant GTA mod there is this stunt on a motorcycle that is perfect with the whining sound of the motorbike too.

@GG Surprisingly the sound of collecting all those coins isn't bothersome at all, to me at least.

I had to turn the sound down just watching the videos. It's the main reason I haven't bought it.

You'd be killing 75% of game message board members.

Has to be 3DS, no publisher is going to throw money after the Conduit. That said the second gamel is going to be one of those games I am forever curious about, just to see if they improved it.

Mysterious controller spotted at Valve

Looks like a 360 controller with a touch screen?

This is probably the best gaming related fan video I have ever seen on the internet, but to understand why you have to have played Rhythm Heaven. The quality of the video is spot on with the game.
