Although Nintendo have failed to reveal release or price information regarding the Wii during the Leipzig Games Conference, one Nintendo employee has done some talking. Bernd Fakesch, head of Nintendo’s German operations, has suggested that he expects the Wii to sell for less then 250 Euros ($250US) in Europe.
Again, this acts as confirmation that the Wii should not exceed US$250 however what this means for us Australian’s is unknown. Nintendo are holding a special Wii event in New York on September 14th, hosted by NOA President, Reggie. Hopefully this will be the event in which Nintendo finally “”prove thier promise””.
Toby MizziFirst gaming experiences were with my older brother playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Master System and Sega Mega Drive. I was about 12 years old when the PS1 and the N64 were just about to be released, and I wanted to get a PS1 based on my experience playing some demo PS1 games at a Video Games Heaven store. On the day we came to lay buy the PS1, they had demo N64 consoles set up in the middle of the shopping centre and we naturally took some time to sample the goods. Dad, who barely played games, decided that the N64 would be a better console and I have never looked back since then. Don't get the time to play games as much as I did when I was younger, though I still enjoy nothing more than sitting back on the couch and being absorbed into a totally different world.
