For the same price as the current Wii.

And also come with New Super Mario Bros. Wii and the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack.

The current Wii will still be sold though, with Mario Kart Wii and a Wii wheel, and Gamecube compatibility.

Yes, all new Wii-motes (either in bundles or sold separately) come with WM+ built in.

I think so. This is probably Nintendo's way of preparing for downloadable GameCube games on WiiU.

Yeah, it's been in Europe for a little while, and I think originally they said they weren't even going to release this in America but they changed their minds.

Why the f*** would anyone choose not to have one with backwards compatibility when it costs the same as a regular Wii?

Downloadable Gamecube games? So you can fit like 5 of them in the Wii U storage space. Awesome.

Probably because they wouldn't know. I don't think either SKU's box makes mention of backwards compatibility (at least not in big bold letters). I'm having a tougher time understanding why Nintendo is still bothering to sell the old SKU in the first place. If you're going to be dicks and phase out the BC, then phase it out. I have my doubts as to whether they really are still manufacturing the old SKU. They could just be clearing all remaining inventory.

Have we heard anything concrete about WiiU's storage? They've gotta pack in SOMETHING decent. The next Microsoft/Sony consoles will pack, what, 1 TB? More?

just 8 GBs by default, but you can take it out and put in however much you want

Nintendo, this is not how you are supposed to learn from Sony.

Backwards Compatibility is a GOOD THING.

I'm confused

are you saying you'd rather have plain Wiimotes over WM+ built-in Wiimotes?

because that doesn't make any sense

No, both will. I think he's just saying that he wants an old bundle before they are discontinued. I imagine they will be discontinued before too long.

Nintendo usually plans for each gen by taking anything more popular than it and locks onto the worst thing that system did.

N64: Relied on cartridges and had space for add-ons, like the Genesis
Gamecube: Memory cards with stupidly low capacity, like the PS1
Wii: Doesn't put much into graphical power, like the PS2
