amirite?

 

[Kafel]

Did we know that over 500 developers own Wii dev kits ?

"micro transactions"

Microtransactions for everyone!

 

[Defcon]

Micro transactions on the Wii too? Ugh.

 

[Zep]

Smash Brothers will be one of the first, and maybe the best game ever for online head-to-head competition. Metroid and Mario (Galaxy) will be next year. This year it is licensees. We have thirty titles from licensees, but the only exclusive one is Red Steel from Ubisoft. We have Madden and Tony Hawk. We want to increase our share of the Madden franchise.

Glad thats confirmed!

 

[reminder]

Horse Armor for Epona confirmed!

It's not confirmed 'til I hear it out of Sakurai.

I'm not as bothered by microtransactions as some are. As long as it feels like you've gotten a full game for your initial purchase then I don't see it being a bad thing that you can pay a couple dollars more and get a dungeon or something else added to the game.

 

[Zoramon089]

Yeah...it's best if we just ignore his exclusive comment because we KNOW there are more than that....

 

[Xdrive05]

So then can Wii Channels be added to the Wii? It looks like there's a lot of extra slots for adding channels (entire new features) for the future. They can do that right?

Yes they can. And they probably will.
