Hmm, more than the expected $200, that's sort of disappointing, especially with only one Wiimote. We can be sure to see a price drop probably around Q2 2007. November 19, 1 month past my prediction, but not surprising, DS launched Nov 21st 2 years ago, only 2 days further in the month than Wii. I guess that means I'll be predicting around Nov 20th for future Nintendo systems.

That means N64 games are worth 10000 cents, or $100, that's outrageous! Are you sure you got that right?
Edit: I finally got the video downloaded (it was really slow) and confirmed you were wrong. Reggie said the 500 points is equivalent to $5, so that's 1 point = 1 cent, not 10 cents, which is a reasonable price and a lot easier to understand.

I wouldn't say "worst" just yet, delays usually make a game better than it otherwise would, and I still have my hopes for online play, just like the MPH delay put it online.
