Nintendo Everything

Note: This summary is complete for the most part, but there may be some missing bits here and there. Also, I started the summary before the Wii price drop was announced, so keep that in mind when reading the summary!

Wii price drop

– Still hasn’t happened
– All signs pointing to it though
– A bunch of leaked ads from retailers
– Nintendo will be making an announcement soon
– Matt will be surprised if by this time tomorrow it isn’t official
– Nintendo has been saying they wouldn’t do a price drop
– Wii has seen dramatic decrease in sales
– Sony dropped the price of the PS3
– Nintendo probably feels it is time for the drop
– Need something exciting going into the holiday season, not just a game
– Not doing different system colors in US
– Even at $199 Nintendo will still be making a lot of money

Rumors about a new SKU

– MotionPlus and Wii Sports Resort
– Would be $250 still
– Craig hopes they do a throwback to the NES days and put both games on one disc
– It’s a drag to exchange Wii Sports/Resort discs

Capcom has officially opened up the site for the upcoming DS sequel to Okami, Okamiden. The site, as of now, is in Japanese, but the art on the even just the main page is fantastic.

Take a look at it, here.
