Where did they get the US$250 price anyway? Don't tell me from the Seattle Pi link? Because that was just taken down a few minutes ago...

All of the websites sourced from that article. I'll wait for official word from Nintendo.

Famitsu is reporting a December 2 launch and 25,000 yen price for Japan

Joystiq:

1:55 p.m. [update 8]: And the other shoe drops. Famitsu is reporting a December 2 launch and 25,000 yen ($215.51) price for Japan.

The converter I found says $212.72, but close enough, looks like the Times article was probably correct.

Seconded. That's why I said I wanted Iwata or Miyamoto telling me the details in person. They'll be flying in later this evening.

12-2-2006 for Japan. 25000 yen. That article was bullshit like we thought. $199 sounds about right for North America now.

FAR TOO LATE NINTENDO! If they put Australia and Europe into next year I'll........

That close to $200, so it would probably be $230 or something..

2:50PM: We just received word that the New York Times article has been pulled from the web. Perhaps our suspicions were right and they were simply guessing the approximate price point

LOL I love how everyone is racing and playing "Pretend Video Game Reporter". ^-^ It's fun.

I'ma do this game blog style and steal shit directly from Famitsu without a decent translation and just pics.

I meant to say, there was a thread on Joystiq where people would guess if there were any hardware features still left to be revealed, and someone posted an interesting idea. While I realize Nintendo isn't actually doing this, I really think it would be a great idea for them in the future: rechargable batteries for the Wiimote that regenerate power based on motion. I have a watch that does this, and it works very well, and even quick flicks are enough to charge it if need be, so I think it would be a great idea for the Wiimote in the future.

or it could be the nunchuck and the other could be the virtual console controller!

lol dunno where you got your translations but I just directly translated your post before but I CAN CONFIRM that
?????????? does not translate to "Plug server stand" as it's already says "SENSOR BAR STAND" literally in Katakana. Same with "???????????" -> "Wii Controller" when it's directly Nunchuck Controller.

EDIT:

or it could be the nunchuck and the other could be the virtual console controller!

Um no... as you can see clearly on my above post.
