The Nintendo Wii is going to be released in the US on November 19, at a price of $250. The console will come witha Wii console, a Wiimote and Nunchuk attachment, sensor bar, sensor bar stand, an AC adapter, an audio/video cable, and two batteries (for the remote). The console will also be bundled with Wii Sports. The first-party games will be $50. To buy, the Wiimotes will be $40, the nunchuk and classic controllers will be $20.

Surprisingly, the Nintendo Wii will be released in the Americas first, and Japan's Wii release date is December 2.

This is exciting news as we now know when the Wii will be released in Europe. The Europe price will be £179 (€249) bundled with Wii Sports and will be released on 8 December. Wiimotes will be £29, while Nunchuks and Classic controllers will be £14. 1st party games will be between £35 and £39.

YAY! WII!

When I read the release info earlier I was quite excited. I love nintendo games, and cant wait for this console. It will be grea t to play all the old school games on a TV again (playing on a computer is just different).

I was quite shocked they are releasing in the US first...not something I have ever heard of

I won't be buying it on launch date because I be home from my trip and I wouldn't want to spend more of my money on a game console and plus Christmas would be next month and I need the money to buy presents for my family. Wii can wait.

Doin' the happy dance! Doin' the happy dance!

I want one NOW!! oh well at least it is coming soon...

I'm a bit disappointed that Metroid Prime 3 and WarioWare: Smooth Moves have been delayed into 2007. I can always preorder them and get those games when they come out.

I've saved up about £100, and my goal is £300.

Have you been to http://wii.nintendo.com recently? They have a whole bunch of new information, about the Wii now. I warn you though, if you go there you might be so psyched for the system..you could end up being like "I WANT A WII NOOOOOOWWWWWW!" lol.

video games are boring and whats the point in buying the latest system if in a year or two they just make a new one? seems like a waste of money to me
