I can't wait for the launch. I also can't believe that it's so far away. | Not 60 pounds - $60. Play.com has the nunchuk for £12.99 and the remote is about £20 IIRC. So it's not THAT bad. | |

Something i just realised. In most of the videos ive seen, the wiimote and nunchuck have been used to control the player etc, but what happens if you only have the wiimote?
do you have to buy both to play the game or is the nunchuck an optional extra?
If it is required then it should be sold with the wiimote. Nothing would be more frustrating than going in to buy a new wiimote and nunchuck only to find the shop has run out of nunchuck's and so you cant use the wii mote until you find one.
Also, it would make things confusing for parents i think. | |

I can't imagine games like Red Steel, MArio Galaxy etc to possibly work without the nunchuk.
I reckon they're sold seperately as there might be a chance they'll need replaced regularly. Nintendo aren't usually known for unreliable controllers, anything but. Maybe they're jsut playing it safe.

My guess is that there'll be a lot of simpler games planned, like Wario Ware, that will only need the remote. Meaning that it'd be feasible to have one remote with nunchuk and a few other remotes for multiplayer games when friends are over. | |

I wouldn't be surprised if on top of selling them both seperately, they'll bring out them both in the one box, in various colours, probably for 10£/$ less than the sum of it's parts.

An interesting video chat with nintendo's perrin kaplan: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...ocidfeed&hl=en
One of the things she says is that the wii will be region-free. (there seems to be quite a bit of confusion over some of the features here with different people from nintendo saying different things). | |

I was talking to the guy in CA games today and he said that no-one has had console numbers confirmed yet and they won't be realeased until next month. Which means that major retailers may be accepting more orders then they can fulfill at lauch.
I'm holding off the pre-order until the numbers are announced (mainly because I'm planning to get mine at CA Games). | |

Amazon recently pulled their US preorders due to too many people getting preorders in at too fast a rate...  | |
