I will probably buy the system with one extra Wiimote and Nunchuck. The games, I listed in order in the most likely I will be to purchase. More than likely, I'll only purchase one or two games. On a side note, I'm kind of excited about Wii Sports being included. I think it will be fun to play with my kids. Two of them are pretty young (4 & 7) but sometimes they try to play racing games only to be put off by the controls. It's funny that when I watch them play it reminds of the first time I ever played Mario on the NES when I would pull the controller ever time I tried to jump. They will tilt the controller when trying to drive a car. When Wii was first announced, that's one of things Nintendo brought up. Needless to say, I've been waiting on the Wii to break them in. It will definately be a family console for me.

I've been saving up all this time, paying off two games every week I get paid. So far I have about 7 to go, TP for Wii included. I think FFXII is the most expensive one left. The rest will be two Wii titles and however remaining DS games.
Wasn't expecting a $250 Wii though, but I guess I'll figure something out.
Oh if we're counting VC, then I guess I'll add $10 for Mario64 since I've still yet to finish it and I controls on the DS version keep me playing it on that.
And I'll get Monkey Ball after the MB true fans give it a spin. It was crap at E3 and I'm not gonna take the leap of faith, but if Nagoshi is truly heading the project it could see a turn around.

I must confess it is the first time i want to get that many games on launch, but with the price of the console and the controllers (a.k.a. nintendo killed my dreams)
Zelda and Warioware and Excite Truck deifinitely,
Monkey Ball, Trauma Center and Red Steel if the last one is really good
My first Wii if it comes with a remote in the us too
One extra controller.

Wii console and Zelda.
maybe Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, but probably not. will rent instead.
depending on reviews and execution of gun and sword play, red steel is a possibility, but Ubisoft's constant barrage of "bullshots" makes me cynical about the game. will also probably just rent instead.
A few VC games.
that's it.

I will most likely get:
-Wii
-Zelda
-extra Wii-mote
$370 after tax
plus
-Monkey Ball (hopefully a Christmas gift)
Although I may until spring. I'd rather have a black Wii, and I'm going to be buried in DS games anyway.

I plan to participate if i possibly can (money permitting)
I will buy
1. Wii console $250
2. Zelda TP $50
That's all i can be certain about.
So $300
If money permits, i would buy 2 more games So $400... Additional games would probably be rayman and red steel (if reviews are good)
Use the extra's if you want, or leave them off if you want.

Just the Wii and Zelda for me at launch for certain. Likely just a second Wiimote for accessories.
Likely a few VC games within the first month, but if they're offering pre-paid cards or some jazz I'd pass on those and just stick to online transactions.

Yay for floor game pools!
All I'll need is:
-A Wii
-The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
-Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (optional)
Thanks to someone else on my floor getting Trauma Center, and another guy buying Excite Truck/Rayman Raving Rabbids. Three Wii's=no need for extra controllers.
Although I will be picking up Trauma Center for myself if it properly rules, which it most likely will.

I'm gonna participate proper in this thread in about 2 hours time when the Euro launch details are unveiled methinks.
Unless I'm banned for it releasing in 2007. In which case, I won't

I don't have wireless internet and haven't really followed this, but will I need to buy an adapter to hook up to WiiConnect seperatly? Did they mention that, or how much it'd be? Overall if the VC lineup is great on day one, I could see myself spending a lot of cash there.

If the Euro launch is parallel to the US one my purchases will be
- System (250)
- Twilight Princess (50)
- VC downloads (20)
~320 for certain.
Later:
- Nunchuck + Wiimote (60)
- Excite Truck (50)
If you can play VC downloads with a GC controller (or Hori pad) I won't be getting that classic controller.

Also is it true I can just hook an external HDD to the usb port? I recall Iwata saying you could in an interview. If so I have a 500GB drive to hook to it.
