About time! However, I remember back in ’08, the Wii was that exzact same price, so they’ve effectively taken the price up and cut it again, obviously Nintendo thought people were stupid, the same reason they launched the Wii with the same hardware as the Gamecube, did not include a DVD drive and disabled the abilty to play audio cds. Well thankfully not everyone is stupid, overwise Nintendo’s Wii would get away with being the first console since the SNES to not play any kind of media (the TG16 CD & Sega CD could play audio cds) without getting one bad word from the video gameing community. Well guess what Nintendo, that aint gonna happen!

Sometimes it gets too boring playing Mario and Luigi and to have 4 players at the same time is really exciting. Now, aside from Aion Online, I have something else to look forward to.
