    Having seen and read a fair bit from E3 i have been very much swayed towards the Wii. However i have a few small reservations and would be quite appreciative of any help.

    1)Has it been confirmed how much Wii games will cost? Or have there been any trustworthy Rumours?
    2)Are the batteries in the controller rechargeable?
    3)What is the third party support like? As with all nintendo consoles there seems to be amazing first party support from ninty.

    Thank you.

    I seem to remember that the controller will be chargable. Thats the only one i can actually remember though.

    Cheers for that. It really looks to be shaping up to being a very good console. Can't claim to have been interested at first but seeing how the remote works in gameplay......

    3rd party support is better than the gamecube, especially since all the games will most probably be exclusive.
    there was something said a good while ago that nintendo were not fans of $50 games and that their first party games would be cheaper and hope that 3rd party and retailers keep the prices for the Wii low

    I really like the idea of the controllers, I think this could be the the killer app that could put Ninty back on top.

    as far as Goldeneye goes, is it completely up to MS/Rare? Would making the game available be in breech of the 007 rights, currently in the posession of EA? If it was up to EA and MS, God help us all!

    Actually Activision own the rights to the 007 franchise now, and i reckon Goldeneye the game is still belonged to Rare, so it is up to them whether or not they will make it available on the virtual console

    I'd imagine Rare/MS own the rights to 007 for that game so I can't see a problem releasing it. Also Rare are making Donkey kong racing for the ds (or is it diddy kong?) so you never know, it may be released yet......
