Wii Price - How low will it go?

Nintendo announced today they are slashing the price of the Wii to $199. Sales of the Wii this August compared to sales of the Wii in August of last year are down almost 40%. Does this really come as a surprise to people?

The Wii has been out since 2006. How many years is Nintendo going to promote a failing system? Perhaps until they re-think how a gaming system is supposed to function and come out with a new console.

Will this new price drop make hoards of new people buy the Wii? Not likely. As sales of other systems with blue-ray players, HD, and real graphics continue to soar, the Wii will probably end up being great for 12 year olds, 60 year olds in physical therapy, and novelty collectors.

• Wiimote batteries – This will suck your money whenever you run out of batteries. You can solve this by buying a recharger.
• Electricity – The Wii never turns off. Instead, it is in standby mode all the time when it is not on. This will use electricity which may require money wasted.
• Gasoline – You will waste more gasoline to get batteries and games which will be more expensive than the retail price.
• Injuries – If you get hurt from playing the Wii, you may get injuries which will make it more expensive.

Below I will tell you the real price for the Wii

$250 – Wii
$100 – Batteries
$050 – Electricity
$200 – Gasoline
$600 – Grand Total
$050 – To cure injuries from the Wii
$650 – Grand Total if you got injuries fom the Wii

The Wii is very expensive itself.

The Wii’s graphics are BAD! See the difference between nVidia SLI graphics and the Wii’s Hollywood Graphics!

Wii Flash Game

You know those little flash games in online game sites, like “Pop the balloons”, “Hit the penquin with a baseball bat onto spikes”, “Smash the brinks with the ball and paddle”, all the typical flash games? Wii is now rumored to start supporting games made entirely of Flash. This means you can spend even more countless hours trying to navigate pacman through intricate levels with your motion sensor Wiimote. Good look with that one. Is Nintendo that desperate that they cannot develop real, 3D games with good graphics, that they have to go back to 1999 technology and let those games be a part of the Wii? What is Wii thinking? Maybe most of the world is dumb and will love the addition of flash to the Wii. Below is a list of the 10 most popular Flash games for computer:

1. Baloons, created by Ninja Kiwi. A monkey and some darts versus an army of balloons.
2. Hotel Online, created by Realore Studios. Hotel management action game: keep your guests happy with room service, coffee, etc. or lose popularity.
3. Bubble Struggle 2, created by Krešimir Cvitanović. Can one heroic piglet with a speargun defeat waves of falling balls?
4. Papa’s Pizzeria, created by Flipline Studios. Baking action: make money by cooking your pies on time with the right ingredients.
5. Fancy Pants Adventures 2, created by Borne Games. Cool platformer action with appealing visuals and stick-drawing animation — and my personal favorite from this list.
6. Tower Bloxx, created by Digital Chocolate. Another fave: construct a city of skyscrapers by dropping ready-made floors from cranes, but beware wobbly towers.
7. Cube Crash, created by Ocean Breeze Games. Score points by scooping up connecting rows of like-colored cubes.
8. Bricks Breaking, created by Novel Games, distributed by MindJolt Games. Near identical to Cube Crash (above), just less visually attractive.
9. Paris Oh Paris, created by Shaun’s Flights. Possibly NSFW (and definitely cheesy), toss greasy food at the famously annoying, underfed celebrity.
10.Stunt Dirt Bike, created by YouGame.com. Jump cars and other obstacles with your dirt bike in this 2-D side-scrolling game.

Thanks to gigaom.com and many other sites for providing this flash game list. Like any of these games? Like them enough to play them on your television? Then thankfully the Wii will start suppoting Flash Games. Woohoo!

Mike Tysons Punch Out

Tired of all the annoying body movements, hand motion, twitches, and carpals tunnel syndrome? The new remake of Punch Out will also include the default NES style control using the keypad and A, B. Going back to the 1980’s will actually improve the Wii’s performance. Now you won’t lose the game at the final boss because your arm is aching. Perhaps enough people complained that Nintendo might start releasing this old school NES control interface to play these new games of 2009.

Games of the future… who knew we would be going back to using up, down, left, right, A, B.

Wii Boxing Gloves

Want to get in shape and train to be a boxer? Just buy these specialized boxing gloves. Almost like the real thing except you stick the ultra lame Wii Mote into them. Now you are boxing with style with leet electronic devices attached to your hands communicating with your television set. I’d love to see one of these guys video tape themselves using the Wii boxing gloves and see how cool and intimidating they look. Just don’t try to backhand anything, you will end up crushing your precious remote. Once again, Wii for the win.

Wii = rehabilitation

$10,000,000. The number of dollars sold by the Wii. Impressive yes, but what does it prove? People spending 10 million dollars on the Wii confirms that the general population is retarded… as if the last few elections didn’t show this already. People would rather buy a cheap 200$ POS system that doesn’t even support high definition, than spend a little more and get a quality system like the Playstation 3 or XBOX 360. 55% of all game system purchases were for the Wii, thus proving only 45% of the country is sane.
