Nintendo Wii

Nintendo Wii Price announced in Japan

Videogamesblogger writes, ?Looking at the Wii price of 25,000 yen, that converts directly into $223 / ?175 / ?119. When deciding regional prices for their products they can?t just stay with the nearest number, but they can round it off so it?s easy for customers to pay for at the store. Keeping that in mind, we can expect the Wii prices to be: $225 / ?225 / ?150 !!Add in a second controller and you?re at $250, you?re going to get at least one new game, which puts you at $300. Perhaps these low prices are why Nintendo has predicted on the same press conference that sales of six million units by March 2007 are achievable for the Wii.?

Now that?s a price point a lot of customers will be happy with. Mind you that these are still speculations. I believe the Wii will be priced at $199 USD, the same price as when the Gamecube came out. Well, i?ll be looking forward to Wii?s release as it?ll be more of a game console than an overpriced media station. [/b]

<------ Hoping for the $199 Wii as opposed to the $250 Wii first rumored about.

I'm sure just for spite after sony's price tag, they'll find a way to lower just a little bit more :ph34r:

Just remember $199 is what Gamecube and N64 sold for at release. So, it is almost tradition at this point. ;)

Not sure if this was posted yet:

27 titles slated for release of Wii, including Metroid Prime 3, Legend of Zelda, Far Cry, Madden 07, and even a new SUPER MONKEY BALL, I think Wii hopefuls can be excitied.

It's a ball (and it's super) with a MONKEY INSIDE, you roll him around a "board"/"maze" till he gets to the goal. Laws of velocity, accerlation and gravity gratuitously applied!!!

Q: How do you extend your online strategy to Wii?

A: It's the same premise. We will offer online-enabled games that the consumers will not have to pay a subscription fee for. They'll be able to enjoy that right out of the box. The Wii console is going to be Wi-Fi enabled, so essentially, you'll be able to plug it in and go. It won't have hidden fees or costs.[/b]
