    I'm not picturing standalone games costing beyond $59.99 unless they're special edition issues. :v
    Other than that, I wonder who would actually eat that stuff about Wii U games costing a hundred bucks, seriously.

    Standard wii games cost $50. I don't expect that to change. I'd be rather mad if that changes to $60 with the WiiU

    games are sf expensive it's a bit ridiculous but i would never believe them to be $100 in the first place. however, even though this is nintendo i see a lot of the next gen and probably the next-next gen consoles utlilizing anti-used game software which is self explanatory. but if games ever reached a price higher than what they are already with no options for used game purchases then i can see a lot of blowback happening. ea is already doing anti-used game crap like that with their "online passes" needed to unlock either MP or day-one DLC stuff. but yeah, once again people already jumping to conclusions. the damn thing isn't even out yet and people assume the prices are locked in, which is silly.

    legally (I believe) Game retailers are meant to sell games for $50 and below excluding bundles. I believe Nintendo is really the only one has been doing this. I highly doubt they would sell games for $100. That is extremely outrageous. If this is fact (doubtful) then I really see no point in buying the WiiU.

    Oh yeah, that's another thing; unless they're greatest hits or something Nintendo hand-picked to reduce price, other games won't get a cut. ;v
