^^may infact be false.

Price: $250
Date: 11/19/06

Games: $50
VC games: $5 - $10

Will have a photo mode to look at pictures, a weather channel, news channel, and web browsing by opera.

Nintendo will have 25 unique wii games by the end of the year. (i dunno if this is total, or first party... i'd guess total.)

4 million units shipped by the end of the year.

UPDATE 1:

Japan's release date is Dec 2nd, for 25,000 yen (about $215), wii comes with:
Wii
Wiimote with strap
Nunchuck
Wii AC adaptor
Wii A/V cable
Wii console stand
sensor bar
sensor bar stand
two AA batteries. (for wiimote i'd assume.)


UPDATE 2:

3,800 yen for the wiimote
1800 yen for the classic controller
1800 yen for the nunchuck.
(i dont know that in USD)

16 titles from ten publishers at launch.
games are 4,800 to 6,800 yen.
Zelda is the ladder.

Wii Sports will not be bundled (in japan atleast, this explains the lower price.)
Wii Sports will cost 4,800 yen and have five sports games.




I am personally satasfied, although NSider is quite the opposite (they thought rumors were facts, haha.), i was supprised to see web browing and channels on there... i think thats pretty neat, i can't wait. <3

Wait... so it's going to be here before Japan? Thats weird.

The Big N is set to officially announce that the system will hit retail in North and South America for $250 on November 19

 

[Micah]

So Nintendo hasn't officially announced this yet?

 

[SL92]

So, when's the release date for the Americas? The 19th?

 

[Justin]

There is none yet. We'll gind out North America Realese at the New York Conference at 9:00 PST. Game stop has it live but I'm in school at that time.

 

[SL92]

But wii.nintendo.com says the 19th of November.

 

[Fanghorn]

Im gonna trust the offical nintendo site, Nov. 19.

 

[Furry Sparks]

So wii know everthing now... mkay.
My cristmas list isn't going to be exatly cheep...
Wii-$250
MP3-$50 It was pushed back to 07, I'm glad. More time to get money.
TP-$50
VC, wii, & nunchuck controllers- however much USD that is.
RE4-15 or $50, depending on if I get the PC or GCN

And thats just some... I have a feeling I'm not going to get all of it

 

[Bulerias]

Yay!




NSider is SO dumb. I can't even begin to explain... They thought the Wii was going to be dirt cheap. :|

I, however, am uberly satisfied. I am also happy that MP3 was pushed back to 07... for monetary reasons, of course.


The only thing I don't like is that the Wiimote + Nunchuck will be $60... Ouch...

 

[IslandGuy]

Phew,I thoguht the price would be $300+. Too bad I can't buy games till next year. <_<

@Bul: *agrees* Nsider is dumb, almost all ppl from the golden age migrated by now.

I remember when you said it would probably be $200, so you expected the same thing... so did most people.

I may have expected it, but I didn't freak out when Nintendo announced a $249.99 price point.

A difference there...
