Wii Date and Price Revealed!!ii!!ii!!

YAY!!!

Finally Nintendo revealed the price and release date for the Wii!!

The Wii will be Available North and South America for $250US on November 19, suprisingly that Japan will get the Wii AFTER America, December 2.

The Wii will come packaged with one Wii remote, A nunchuck, an AC adapter, an audio/video cable, a sensor bar, sensor bard stand, a Wii console stand and two batteries.

The US package will also come bundled with a copy of Wii Sports, Wii Sports features tennis, baseball, golf and previously unannounced bowling and boxing games.

Nintendo said it would provide Wii owners with more than 25 unique games this year.

Wii's Virtual Console download service will have a library of some 30 titles when the system launches. Titles will include entries from the Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong franchises, Nintendo said. Virtual Console games will cost between $5US and $10US each.

Specifically, Nintendo Co. Ltd. announced that Virtual Console games would cost 500 yen ($5US), 800 yen ($8US) or 1,000 yen ($10US); these prices are probably for NES, SNES and N64 games respectively.

The Big N confirmed that it would charge $50US for its new Wii games. (Please note that this is First-Party games, prices have not been announced for Third-Part Wii games -- publishers are free to set their own prices on Wii titles.)

Nintendo revealed that Wii's various controllers would be available to buy separately at launch. The Wii remote will cost 3800 yen or about $40US; the nunchuck 1800 yen or about $20US and the classic controller 1800 yen or about $20US.

In a surprise announcement, Nintendo said that it wanted to make Wii a living room centerpiece by shipping the system with features outside of the videogame realm. Wii will include a photo channel, enabling users to display their digital photos through the console. It will also boast regularly updated news and weather channels. In addition, the system will ship with the Opera Web browser, enabling users to connect online.

One of the channels available on Wii is called the "Mii Channel." Here, players can customize avatars by selecting from a variety of face shapes, hair styles, color schemes, and so on. The hook is that these avatars can not only be stored on the console itself, they can also be transfered to the Wii remote itself -- presumably so players can easily access their personalized characters and take them with them when playing against friends.

Nintendo said it plans to ship 4 million Wii units worldwide by the end of the year.

But No Date Has been made for Australia yet, hope its before everyone else Hahahahaha
