This should mean a whole heap of fun little downloadable games. Hope it's regulated well enough to keep out the REALLY bad games though.

Wait does that mean it costs 1732 for the console for customers and plain people? I thought it was gonna be like 500 bucks or less. I keep getting different info, can someone clear this up for me?

At the same time, though - the devkit is to develop games for use with Wii hardware. So as far as downloadable games go, people could make RPG's, SNES style, and get 'em on the virtual console, eh?

Still, I'm excited that a devkit is within my price range, for once, being a solo indie gamedev :)

I wonder what will be required to buy one of these. I'm very interested.

hiiiwii - No, the SDK costs 1732 (and is for developers only) while the console (for plain people :P) will be MUCH cheaper.

Someone cooler than you said:

HiiWii, they say the Wii will most likely cost around $150 to $200. It will be less than the 360 and PS3.

I'd love to get one of these. I make games and it would be good to make Wii games. Although I reckon that it would be hard.

Yay! More wii games AND a new wii-mote! How could this get any better?

Chrome said:

Does this mean I can make games?

Is it c++ or is it like a gamemaker?

You guys are getting too excited. First, you have to apply. You need a huge game team and tons of games already made. Then you can buy the $1700 kit.
