I’m really excited about Nov. 19.
Nintendo’s newest console is coming out at a measly $249 - loads better than the 4 or 6 hundred dollars for a 360 or PS3. I’m glad that Nintendo is doing it’s part to appeal to the gamer. The price tag may seem budget priced in comparison, but that won’t mean this isn’t a quality product. Nintendo is avoiding some of the higher priced add-ons focus on a gaming machine. No excessive and underused harddrive or dvd player here.
I’ve been a lifelong Nintendo fan, and I can’t wait to see what they do with this system. Though the last two consoles, the Gamecube and the N64, were somewhat disappointing, there have always been fantastic (if few) titles for this systems. Mario and Samus are on the horizon, and Zelda is a launch title.
Perhaps my favorite aspect is the return of the pack-in game. Wii Sports will be included with the system, and should highlight the flexibility of the controller’s motion sensor. If the controller is responsive enough, this could change the way we play our games.
