This just in: Wii will ship in september.

From the article: Pokemon diamond/pearl will be released at christmas along with pokemon revolution. Players will be able to hook their ds up to the wii to transfer pokemon between the two.

On that note, the Ds will be fully iintegrated with the Wii. 24Connect will be able to download demos to your DS while you sleep. The Wii will be touchscreen capable. Ie plug in your DS and you can use it as an additional touch-screen controller.

Virtual console games will be between 4 and 8 dollars US. (5-10 Canadian).

The consoles WILL BE SOLD AT A LOSS!!!!!!

Nintendo has never sold a console at a loss before. This means that they purposely went out of their way to hit a certain price point even at their own cost. This is standard but nintendo has never done it. Does that mean they are going to release at 199$ or could we be seeing some price nobody even dreamed of!!!


You misread that: President Satoru Iwata stated that the ship date announcement would be this September. It doesn't say anything about it actually being released in September. And, not trying to be an ass, but until a site like IGN or GameSpot comes out with something about that speech, I'm gonna be skeptical. If that is true though, I think the Virtual Console games are a tad pricey, at least for NES & SNES games.
