Shine light upon my path as i am puzzled here. Most of you say that Nintendo broke some promises ? Which ?
They said it'd be 250$ or under, it's 250. How is that a broken promise ? it's at the limit, yes, not beyond >_>
They said LoZ:TP would come out on Wii and NGC, it will. They NEVER said anything about it being a launched on ngc at the same time as the Wii. Rewatch the Press Conference of E3 if you don't believe that.
Actually, Nintendo originally flatout said that both versions of Twilight Princess would be released simultaneously alongside the Wii, now they've taken that back. They promised Metroid Prime 3 at launch, now it's delayed to sometime in 2007. They originally promised the price of the Wii would be close to each Nintendo console before it ($199 USD)... now it's $250, 50 dollars is not what I'd call close. They said they'd launch before the PS3... now they're launching two days after. They also promised it would be the perfect console for someone cocerned with their budget... the peripherals insane cost isn't exactly cheap.
And how can we forget DVD playback? "The Nintendo Wii will have DVD playback!", and then they cut the feature. Then on the same day they promised the Wii would be region free for any developer who chose so, in the same day they took that back and said the Wii won't even be a little bit region free. Then there was the Opera Wii browser, it was free and pre-loaded on the system... now you have to download and pay for it. Finally, there was the USB ports "Any method of storage can be used", and now, you can only use flash media storage.
Now most of these broken promises are no big deal individually, but they announced them all on the same day, all at the same time. For those not keeping score, that's 9, I repeat, nine broken promises... all in one day.
