Aye, but nintendo have a hooooorrible history of doing it.
Crystal Chronicles, Pokémon Collesseum (sp?) and Zelda were the worst offenders.
I'd say N64 had it right for peripherals, charging you a little extra for them when you got the game, and not dependant on outside hardware for connectivity.
I was literally screaming at the TV when I got Zelda Four Swords adventures for the GBA, I couldn't understand why we couldn't play with the 4 normal controllers I had on one screen. Sure, maps and stuff on the GBA, but it's Zelda! You really don't get lost or use maps if there's four of you having fun. Having to pay £80+ for a GBA (at the time) was bad enough, without having to pay an extra £25 for a lead to connect it! At least the Wii has Wi-fi so I can connect my DS to it, but still, Nintendo really, really really try to milk the peripherals thing a little too much. There's only so much I'm willing to pay for a good game.
