If I didn't own one, I highly doubt 50 clams would be the tipping point.

Sorry, Ninty. It's just not going to happen for a while. I've got nine other consoles to support. They sit around and nag me all day, too. Last thing I need is a Wii yelling at me.
The main reason I would have bought one was for the SNES VC titles, but I finally just bought an SNES and got the games I wanted for less than a Wii.

Now that there's a price drop, perhaps we can start seeing games worth playing that don't star Mario.

Nintendo is notorious for delaying Zelda games, so I'm not expecting anything new any time soon. As far as Samus, we got a rehashed Gamecube game, and a new title being made by an awful developer.

Isn't is ironic to announce a US ONLY price drop at a Japanese gaming event ? I'm sure the people attending the show were all very wet and exicted... not..
