Now why is that funny?
Or even unexpected? to me it makes perfect sense, that the classic SNES-copy controller is cheaper than the new remote with atleast semi-advanced technology inside...

There's still a pretty decent chance that the story in the U.S. and Europe will be pretty different from Japan. In Japan, XBox 360 is dead, dead, dead, and not a real competitor to Nintendo. Thus, their only real competition is PS3, and it doesn't seem like it will be that difficult, (barring some sort of miracle Sony pricedrop), for Nintendo to kill their only real competition in terms of pricing while still severely ripping off their Japanese customers in comparison with those in the U.S. and E.U., where they have to be much more mindful of MS's presence and the 360's relationship to their own pricepoint.

 

Now that I notice the link...

Fire Emblem Goddess of Dawn is played with the classic controller


Batallion Wars Wii: Wiimote+Nunchaku


Tony Hawk Downhill Jam:


EDIT:

34 playable titles:
incl. Legend of Zelda, Pokemon Battle Revolution, Super Mario Galaxy
probably also includes the mini-games...

 

Isn't FE a strategy game? What's a strat game doing sticking to old controls?

 

I don't know, there's nothing more known yet. From the picture it looks like a dungeon crawler much like gauntlet....

There's a major update on the famitsu front page, with new screens, etc.

 

Famitsu put the videos of the conference up.

http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/2006/09/13/103,1158136282,59965,0,0.html

First videos is of the OS:
default: game disc drive channel, chatting channel, picture channel; virtual console shopping channel, weather channel; news channel
Virtual Console channel: split per platform; opera channel (browser), 48 channels total;

 

Interesting...pretty good times ahead. I can see a 3 way split in the 3 markets.

 

I have to agree, it looks great. They have done really well in creating something that caters to the iPod crowd. Heck, even I think it is pretty. Well done, Nintendo.

 

Fire Emblem is Nintendo's long standing strategy RPG franchise, just to let you know.

 

I know that. I meant nothing is known on that installment...

EDIT:

new video

EDIT: Wii table tennis, boxing, DQ swords (I think), etc...

 

The UI looks pretty awesome. They have the advantage of being able to move the cursor around like you would with a mouse. The browser looks like it might actually be usable.

 

249 , just like i thought

 

I want one! I want one! I want one! I want one! I want one! I want one! I want one!

 

The Classic controller is an add-on for the Remote. It doesn't have a wireless transmitter, and there's nowhere to plug it into on the console itself.

 

Yeah. That's a big advantage for a lot of stuff. The pointer sometimes looks a bit shakey though. But they can probably fix that in software...
