Same here, the GC and Classic controller is good enough.

The US and "the West" are not mutually the same thing.
The US didn't get Terranigma (SNES) or Shenmue 2 (DC) but other countries outside of Japan did.

Don't you mean North America and "The West" are the same?
Unless Canada and other North American countries got those things you mentioned, while the US missed out.

Anywho, this isn't too bad.

No, I mean what I said that the "US" and "The West" are not the same thing.

Neither are "North America" and "The West" for that matter. North america is just one part of Western civilisation and both the games I mentioned previously were available in Western europe without being available in America.

Nintendo's quote simply says that the CCP will not be coming to "America" it says nothing about not releasing it in other western territories. Therefore the article is not correct to imply that "Nintendo has no plans for a western release". The only thing we know for sure is that it doesn't plan to release it in America.

Well I clicked on the link & the writing style doesn't really convincing on what it's saying it doents really qoute what nintendo saying.
For all I know Nintendo could be planing a major launch partys for this thing.
Well for the moment the Classic controller do be fine for the moment.

Still I dig the sidegrips.

A lot of people didn't want one, but for the people who did, Play-Asia is easy to use. The price will be pretty inflated though.

If it would support rumble for VC's N64 games I would like to have one, but I'm happy with my Classic Controller, Wavebird and Gamecube Controllers until they announce the Wii Classic Pro Rumble Controller.

What about those who doesn't have access to a suitable payment method & it includes people like me .
Just i hope that this is a usale overhyped media missunderstanding .

And Kurachi thats a pretty good idea Especially as the classic controller doesn't have any accelrometer inside meaning that theres no actenntal flying Wiis caused by execesive movements .

To be fair you only need a debit card, they're not exactly difficult to obtain.

That's very true, but it's not made explicit in the ambiguous article, so it's a very understandable mistake to make.
