Nintendo Worshippers

[maxpower]

Secondly, can I join? I am Nintendo through and through. For a little while, I tried the Playstation and the X-Box, but when I went back to Nintendo with the Nintendo 64 and the Game Cube, I realized that there's a certain magic with Nintendo games that I don't find in those other consoles. A certain kind of imagination, or something. Nintendo just knows how to please me, I guess.

Wuv, Yer Mom

How could I not let Taco join. That's what this club really needs is a member named after a mexican dish. It just fits somehow.

Can i please join? I am a really big Legend of Zelda fan, i have 3 myself Ocarina of time, Majoras mask and Minish cap. I'm also a fan of mario party, i have 2 and 3. Lol just a proof that i like nintendo, can't come up with a really good reason to join. Besides that i love nintendo consoles - games.

Just like I told -Naruto- I don't mind if you join. Just stay away from spamming. And as a Newer member of TFF I expect you to come back and post at least a couple of times in your first month or I will delete you from the list. It's not that I don't like n00b's it's just that a lot of them leave after their first day or two.

Hey how about this story

EA says Wii to be $170? Source: A teaser story on GamesIndustry.biz promoting an exclusive interview with David Gardner, executive vice president and COO of Electronic Arts' Worldwide Studios.



What we heard: This morning, industry trade site GamesIndustry.biz ran a story with the headline, "Wii will retail for around $170 - EA." According to the story, Gardner said the world's largest third-party publisher believes that Nintendo's console will arrive in North American shelves sporting a price tag of $170.

Combined with reports out of Japan last week that the console would launch for about $170 over there, the EA news could be taken as further evidence that Nintendo had settled on a price point for its next console. Having two such sources coming out with the same figure mere weeks before Nintendo is expected to make its official announcement would lend credibility to the idea that the Wii would hit shelves for less than half the price of a premium Xbox 360, and less than a third the price of the high-end PlayStation 3 package.

However, a few things didn't quite fit. The GamesIndustry.biz article says that EA is expecting a $170 price tag in North America. But the only quote it gives to back that up has Gardner saying "I've heard in Japan that the price is about $170…" There might be some context missing there, or perhaps it was taken to mean that Gardner heard while he was in Japan that the North American price would be $170. Regardless, it isn't clear where the $170 figure for North America came from.

On top of that, Gardner doesn't say from where he heard the information. It could be Nintendo, or analysts' expectations, retail partners, or ranting derelicts on the street corner.

Put those ambiguities together and it's entirely possible that Gardner was not referencing information he heard as a result of his position within EA, but instead referencing the original Japanese reports that had the Internet buzzing last week.

The official story: A quick e-mail to Gardner confirmed suspicions. "It was indeed the Japanese report," Gardner told GameSpot. "I read it on the Web--just passing the same rumor around… In any case I hope it becomes true!"

Bogus or not bogus?: The price might be not bogus, but EA saying it'll be $170 is definitely bogus.

A Wii for 170$ that seems crazy to me.
