Animal Crossing: City Folk is overpriced

Nintendo in an effort to get casual gamers to like Animal Crossing have invented Wii Speak to go with it. Which is basically a microphone that sets on top of your TV. This is not to be confused by the soon to be announced Wii See. Okay so I made that up but it’s coming.

Why couldn’t Nintendo combine a camera and microphone into one product?

Anyway the price on Animal Crossing: City Folk is outrageous at $69.99, plus I always thought Nintendo typically bundled hardware for free with games, (with the exception of Wii Fit) but their new found popularity has voided that belief.

That’s twenty dollars for a cheap corded microphone!

In other news, Sony is bundling their first party bluetooth headsets with SOCOM: Confrontation for $59.99.
