Don't forget the spoiler tag. It's much easier than shrinking text down to an unreadable size.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

This also hurts Nintendo pretty badly. People will think, "Why buy a Wii at launch when I can get one with a DVD player sometime next year?" there for, some people won't buy Wii at launch. If enough people think this way, Nintendo is gonna be hurt a lot when it comes to sales come November 19.
I think that most of the hardcore gamers care more about the gaming aspect than about DVD-playing capabilities, possibly not even caring at all about the latter. Hardcore gamers are also most likely the only ones to buy a Wii before or on release day or shortly thereafter. If both of my thoughts are accurate, then I don't see what the problem is.

On another note, am I the only one not obsessing over the Wii? Hecks, I'm not even buying one sometime soon,  and not really even because of money, either. ::SHOCK::  I plan on getting one in the future, of course, but I guess it's not a priority to me. Man, I've changed. Does this make me a "traitor" or something?

Also, I doubt Nintendo cares about how many Wiis sell on November 19 or in the launch window. What really matters is how many are sold by the end of the Wii's lifespan.

YesNo.

I didn't realize it until now, but a piece of my Marioholism had slipped away, forever....

No one will buy a this-gen console for the DVD capabilities. No one.

Blu-Ray on the other hand, maybe (probably).

Sapph hasn't played Wii yet. Thus she doesn't know how badly she needs to get one.
That was a joke.

I'm finding it kinda funny how a lot of non-gaming media is just realizing that there are 2 major gaming consoles coming out in less than a week.  My father handed me a section of the paper today talking about the "news" of what each system (PS3 and Wii) has in it.  I kinda chuckled until I read what the guy said first about the Wii.

Yes, the Sony Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii (pronounced "we," or as we say here at Game Central, "Whee!") are still poised to make their debuts on Friday and Saruday, respectively...

I knew things would be at least somewhat off at this point.  For the most part, it wasn't too bad, but he kept refering to the controller as a wand, and stated that every Nintendo game ever released would be available for purchase, failing to mention the Sega and TurboGrafx games.  Oh, and Wii puns were far too numerous.  As in, there was more than zero.

Need? I find that a little insulting somehow, that one would badly need one.
I don't think playing it or not would make much of a difference on "how badly" I'd want to get one. Video games are still fun for me, yes, especially the experience of a new game, but I'm finding myself less interested in them than I used to be--in desire to play them and less attachment while playing them. I guess I've just become more interested in other things.

Ironically, my life has felt more fulfilling now than it's ever been. I don't know why I'm telling you all this; I don't expect anyone here to understand it or agree with me, not to mention I feel like I've been or will be judged by you guys for it, even if it is just jokingly or dramatically exaggerated. :/

XD Hahahaha!
I discovered real-life friends who share my faith. Which is actually what I've been longing for for a long time.

I'm not a "hardcore" gamer, I do not suspect... I don't much care about the DVD player. I'm not getting one for sometime either. There is really not too much reasoning behind me not getting one other than I can do other thinkgs with my money (like pay for college), and I still have my other game systems to fiddle around with-- they are pleanty of fun for now! Plus, the one game I really want to play -- Twilight Princess -- will be coming out for Game Cube.
