[wraggster]

We'll be getting ours November 19th, while Japan must wait a painful, agonizing, excruciating two weeks for their home team to release the console domestically. Ouch.

hahha, thats hoping.

But yo.. So No Nunchuk in the box? that kinda sucks. Also can anyone tell me what the pricing on the virtual console means? is that PER title? or like a one time fee for unlim access for every game?

[Jenksie]

The nunchuk is listed as third on the list :)

thats a little expensive for some 10-20 year old games. should have been a per month or per credits deal...
