Wii Spot Podcast from WiiSpot.com

Judging from the multitude of responses on various websites and forums I visited yesterday, it seems the majority of Nintendo fans walked away from the ‘Wii Prove Our Promises‘ press conference, bitterly disappointed

The general consensus for this disappointment stemmed around Nintendo deciding to withhold any expected launch, or pricing details for its forthcoming next generation console, the Wii. The reason it appears was not to continue to keep us in suspense, but simply put, Nintendo still haven’t decided on a final price point for the console.

Nintendo Germany’s general manager, Bernd Fakesch reiterated this point by telling Gamesindustry.biz “The price has not been decided yet, but I expect it to be…less than 250 euros.” This announcement has conflicted with previous pricing reports from Nintendo themselves, and also behemoth publisher and developer EA. Fakesh also revealed as long rumored that the launch date has also yet to be finalized but the console will be arriving “in due course.”
