#92489 Wii U Price Discussion
Posted by 009soulmaster on 07 July 2012 - 08:31 PM in Wii U Hardware
If they don't profit from it.
And they may elect not to.
A $299 price tag will eliminate any and all barrier to entry.
For a games platform such as the Wii U, which looks poised to create strong software tie-in, it won't matter.
Nintendo knows that need to offer lots of power for a low price, like they did with the 3DS. they may not profit for a year on the hardware, but subsequent years will be different.
It's hard to see Nintendo missing out on profit from it's hardware, but they may do so if they feel they havent' generated a strong enough marketing "buzz"
$349 seems like a good place to start.
Price it too low and people think of it as "cheap" in both positive and negative connotations.
Price it too high and it just won't sell (PS3 anyone?). but it there is one thing the previosu generation has taught us, it is that console prices go up every generation and people are willing to pay more to get more.
The original Wii with dirt cheap tech started out at $249. The much more ambitious and forward looking Wii U starting out at $349 is a great bargain for a system of this power level and capabilities.
The "proper" Xbox 360, without motion controls or a screen enabled GamePad, cost $399 to purchase at launch.
Even the bare bones, no hard drive, crippled version was $299.
So a next generation system, in 2012, launching at $349 with next level power, a Gamepad with relatively large additional screen and free online capabilities is quite the bargain. Normally, I would have expected a $399 price tag, but Nintendo is wanting to deliver high end power at an affordable price. This is a long way from 2005 and $349 is affordable. Microsoft and Sony provably won't be under that price either. And a year or two down the road, I can see a price drop to $299 in order to combat the new console launches.
Again, Nintendo CAN release at $299 to ensure a quick install base and entrench the system. but they won't profit on the hardware for about a year if they do so. And that is something they've only changed stance on once. If they can, I would love to see it. just not expecting it. it's not like they haven't earned their money here.
well they have done a werid number like $170 for the 3DS so maybe $325

I'm 75% sure it'll be $300. it feels like the right number to sell it for.I think $349 will be the minimum, considering the system power, the gamepad, and the R&D that went into it.
That's a great deal for this console. It's high end equipment. And $350 is affordable. Nintendo "could" possibly sell it at $299 if they made zero profit or even took a loss. $349 buys a great Christmas gift.

#91147 What Movie adaptations of a games do you tolerate or even like?
Posted by 009soulmaster on 01 July 2012 - 03:20 PM in The Café
2. Megaman the Movie (Fanmade) - yeah it's actually made by fans and its free to watch on youtube. But you do have to forgive them on their special effects, it's not high budget so if you nitpick about the special effects then you're a idiot. the movie stays true to the game.
3. Tales of Vesperia - First Strike - It's a prequel and the animation is the same as in the game, it's good.
#91378 What is your favorite gaming system?
Posted by 009soulmaster on 02 July 2012 - 05:39 PM in General Gaming
Wii U mainly cuz it looks really promising.
favorite handheld is the 3DS. the graphics are good enough to not look horrible and the game library is steller.
#89763 We know who won E3 2012 (Ubisoft), but who ultimately Lost?
Posted by 009soulmaster on 24 June 2012 - 03:55 PM in General Gaming
then came Sony's and i thought it was the most decent overall three of them. With God of War, The Last of Us, Beyond, the two Bundles for Assassin's Creed III which im getting for the Wii U it was going to be the best conference cuz it didnt have any downfalls...that is until we get to the Wonderbook. and it all went downhill from there.
Ubisoft is definately the best as there was no major fails like Wonderbook n such mainly the in between Dialogue was a bit annoying but passable. then they had big hits like Rayman Legends, Zombi U, that Avengers game, Far cry 3, Just Dance 4, they were really going all support on the Wii U which is what everyone was wanting to see and they delivered, which is why they were well received.
i skipped EA, next
Nintendo, first off i loved the intro very nice intro and then they started out big with Pikmin 3, then the talked about the 2 Mario games, which i really loved, mainly because I expected NSMB2 but wasn't expecting NSMBU and i remembered everyone whining saying they wanted a Mario game in the Launch so i don't see why people were complaining. Next came the 2 other 3DS games which i was happy to hear more detail about as it was something I've been wanting to hear more of, then after that was the Batman exclusive which after watching videos about the built up to the launch i got excited for it once again. then more Zombi U with a better trailer and i was pleased with it. then came NintendoLand which I'm hoping it'll come with the system and il love it then, however i too was bored when they conitnued on, I wasn't mad but more bored. then when the conference as over i was really skepical as Nintendo always ended with epic trailers. It was til after the E3 i heard Retro told Reggie to not show the Secret game and stall, so yeah i think that ruined their momentum as i was expecting epic trailers as always

#92446 triple A next gen game coming to wii u
Posted by 009soulmaster on 07 July 2012 - 01:56 PM in Wii U Games and Software
No, cuz the Wii U is much easier to port games to unlike the PS3 where developers said they had difficulty with.Hm, interesting. I just wonder if it's a proper port on par with the other next-gen console's versions, or just a half-assed downscaled port like the Wii usually got this gen.

#89701 the Wii U & 2nd Parties
Posted by 009soulmaster on 24 June 2012 - 09:58 AM in Wii U Games and Software
Yes but it would be nice to bring back some N64 games like that Banjo Kazooie and give it a proper sequel.Not really necessary due to the fact that pretty much all old Rare employees left.

Posted by 009soulmaster on 24 June 2012 - 01:54 PM in Wii U Games and Software
Heres a full explanation about it.Interesting.... does anyone know whose copyright did they infringe upon?
Have they been doing anything Recent? the only time ive heard of rareware is that Banjo Kazooie game that was a disatster. Things went bad as soon as they were bought.They can buy there franchises but Rare is not the same anymore.

#89768 The fear I had came true
Posted by 009soulmaster on 24 June 2012 - 04:47 PM in General Gaming
You do know they did that just so People wont rip off their game ideas. do you recall the fan reaction on just mentioning Super Smash Bros. last E3? then few months later, Sony makes a Super Smash Bros. clone.They didn't show much games, they showed lots of games we already knew off and only some unknown games
I'm really sad now...I'm just hoping Nintendo proves us wrong later.
