Incidently. Wii games are expected to retail at between £40-£50 in the U.K.

I thought they would come in at 30/35

Yeah, it's a bit ambigious because of the range of titles.

The likes of Zelda are expected to retail at around £40-50, but re-vamped titles and some first party games may retail at £30-£40.

Special editions will be the highest priced games.

I've now amended the price range so people don't think all games are going to be really expensive.

Can we make this Wii pre-order thread?

It will be a bit overpriced games for Wii, as we see for XBOX360 around 45£ and 50£. I was expecting Wii games be around 30£

I guess they need to make some money, I expect that it costs lots more to make the console than £150.

Makes sense though, not much point making people cough up loads for games that are crap (ping pals springs to mind..)

Exactly. nintendo are legends at making money from console sales

It's probably to cover all the actual bits of plastic you'll get with games that turn the controller into a sword, steering wheel, dance mat (?!) etc.
