basically the wii will always be connecting to the internet. maybe downloading updates automatically like maps or something.

HUH? the Nintendo USB connector won't disconnect your computers internet, it has software packaged with it that works just like having a second browser window open, except that insead of showing online content, it's streaming to your DS/Wii. However, I would recomend getting a router only becuase you can use other things on it (such as your other consoles via a reciever or a laptop, etc.) Also, a router has a much wider range. I use WFC on my DS through a router and can get a connection anywhere in my house, but my cousin uses a USB key (in a similarly sized house), but he can't get a signal just a couple rooms away.

Well the always online is that even if the system is shut down that it can still recieve updates and messagges from nintendo. like downloadable demos for the ds and so forth.

Bleh

UHHH, can you give the link of the "forum" and how official it is.

Also there is games coming with it, Wii Sports is included.

No one knows the official price of Wii. We just know thatt the max price could be $250 it could a little less. The classic controller just looks like a flattened GD controller

Ya know, the Classic Controller actually reminds me more of the PS2 controller because that controller has the analog sticks parallel and the + pad and face buttons parallel and four "button-triggers" on the top , while the gamcube controller has the analog sticks kati-corner and "pull-triggers" on the top.

Anyone else see what I'm talking about?

its probably mostly to get the control sticks out of the way for a more comfortable experience. not many of the VC games need a control stick, just the N64 maybe.

I like the gc controller the best out of the 3.

I khow this has nothing to do with the thread but it has everything to do with the Wii.

Any probability that the DS Lite will drop in price if the Wii is gonna sell for that cheap?

Mr_Stoukaph

Nah man to many buttons for me I didn't like the GC controller

rodent

its kinda weird huh? if the wii sell 4 199$ it will sell at the same launch price of the 8 bit nes.

MetroidZ
