Anyone excited for the Wii?

I think that the Wiii will introduce some great new concepts and ideas to the next gen but in the end it wont be up to snuff and the other consoles will steal their ideas. The other consoles will perform the ideas better than the wiii itself.

This could be very true. But Nintendo has been in the business longer than anyone, I'm not going to be amazed if the Wii is out of this world.

I'm looking forward to the Wii, Nintendo have always been a good, reliable company and deserve a fresh start. They are so underrated. I had a Gamecube once, but I sold it for the PS2, which thankfully lead me to S3.com. I really loved the game, Pikmin. I cant wait for the Wii, but I'm not sure if I'll buy it over the PS3 yet.

I want the Wii, just because I heard you can download old NES games to it... CHRONO TRIGGA *****

Yup you can download old NES games. You need to buy a part to save them to, atleast I think thats what the part is for. I just know that you need it, but it's only going to run about $10.

People are probably going to have to pay for the game they are downloading as well. I can't imagine them charging more then $10.00 for each game, but even that is a little expensive.

Does anyone know how the Xbox 360 arcade works? How much is each game that you download?

My best guess would be Nintendo would set up their downloadable games similar to that of the Xbox 360 arcade. Of course it would be nice if they didn't make us pay at all.

It depends, mostly... it goes by "points". Most games are 400 points, which equals $5.00 - but games like Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting cost 800 points, which obviously equals $10.00.

Sometimes Xbox Live Arcade lets you download games for free... like this past week, they featured a free download for Texas Hold 'em.
