It's official! Nintendo Wii to be released on November 19th for $249.99. "Emulated" games will be $5 for NES, 8 for SNES, and 10 for N64 according to Joystiq. (It will play Gamecube games natively.)
Neat things about the Wii:
- $250 price tag. (For reference the round X-Boxen are $300 and $400, while the PS3 will be $400 and $500.)
- 4 million units by year's end (no shortages)
- Can play all of the Big N's console games
- Comes bundled with games (Sports Pack: Tennis, Boxin, Golf, Baseball, Bowling)
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess at launch!
- Metroid Prime 3 in 2007
- Photos and web browsing on your TV
My wish list has been updated to reflect this. ~_^
Edit: Wii launch titles to be region-free! Sweet.
