Wii price and release date?

[metroixer]

Does anyone have any info on this? So far I have 157 worth of moneys and I need to know when it comes out and it's price so I would know when to reserve when I should finish money hogging ect.

[Nate]

Still not finalised. It will be realeased before the end of this year for less than $250US. That's all that's known.

Nintendo is holding several events in the middle of September, in which they're probably going to announce all that stuff.

[Abeguy]

we should learn on 9/14, basically, world wide wii day,

youz gonna need more than 157 I reckon. The wii ain't no child's toy. It'll be though, under $250, 250 pounds/Euros, and 25000/0 yen,.

[Daxter King]

Curses, I only have $110, and I already pre-ordered Okami(No regrets though ). Though your chances of getting it this year, even if you do pre-order are very slim,seeing as almost everyone and their dog wants one.

[Abeguy]

Nintendo promises to have one for every pre-order

in the UK some people say it's gonna be the 24 November for £149

And it must be pretty close if IGN.com had it

[metroixer]

Uh...How much American dollars make up a euro? Like....1.8 dollars I think? Hmm (Gets in built calender).....God I hope i'm wrong about the 1.8 dollars thing. I'm probably trying to figure out the price in a diff way though thats not right. >_>

[Abeguy]

thats about 249.99 USD, I think. between 230 and 250

It's not going to be higher than 249.99 over here, Nintendo has confirmed that

I dont really care about the Wii but Splinter Cell Double Agent is being released on the Wii launch date.

W00t.

$250 US is $331 Aus and $196 Euro for anyone still wondering.

[Abeguy]

I dont really care about the Wii but Splinter Cell Double Agent is being released on the Wii launch date.

As I've said numerous times over in the "PS3 will bomb, Wii won't" thread...

but that's for another story.

yeah, but we'll all find out everything...the day after tomorrow

Nintendo fans finally have a price and release date for the company's new generation console, Wii. The Big N is set to officially announce that the system will hit retail in North and South America for $250 on November 19. The New York Times published with the story and seems, in fact, to have beaten Nintendo Co. Ltd with the news. Nintendo's Wii console will come packaged with one Wii remote, one nunchuck attachment, an AC adapter, an audio/video cable, a sensor bar, sensor bard stand, a Wii console stand and two batteries. The package will also come bundled with a copy of Wii Sports, a compilation sports game that best shows off the mechanics of the system's unique controller. 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 much talked-about Virtual Console download service, which enables gamers to purchase classic games, will offer 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 $5 and $10 each. Specifically, Nintendo Co. Ltd. announced that Virtual Console games would cost 500 yen ($5), 800 yen ($8) or 1,000 yen ($10); we're presuming these prices are for NES, SNES and N64 games respectively.
The Big N confirmed that it would charge $50 for its new Wii games, which is $10 cheaper than the cost of standard Xbox 360 titles.
Nintendo Co. Ltd. revealed that Wii's various controllers would be available to buy separately at launch. The Wii remote will cost 3800 yen or about $40; the nunchuck 1800 yen or about $20 and the classic controller 1800 yen or about $20.
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. Wil 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.
Sony recently announced that it would ready 400,000 PS3s in North America and another 100,000 in Japan for the system's launch. Nintendo said it plans to ship 4 million Wii units worldwide by the end of the year.
Nintendo will launch Wii in Japan on December 2 of this year for 25,000 yen, it revealed. North America will get the system first.

Is it okay if I masturbate while reading that?

Awesome. Simply awesome.

I was hoping that the Wii itself would be a little cheaper (I would only want to spend $200, but that's what used consoles are for...), but wow, go Nintendo. That's all I have to say.

[metroixer]

250$? Damnit. Looks like I need to somehow get money fast (Well actually I might as well sell my gamecube for maybe 50$? >_>). Other than that: ZOMG at november 19. I is happy .

[Abeguy]

well, it coming bundled with Wii sports...in the US, it is reasonable to raise the price

I have 380 bucks, so I can get a Wii, the two games, another controller, another nunchuck, and a classic controller

[Daxter King]

Damn, lets see $80(current money)+$60(report card money)+ atleast $100(B-Day money)=$240!Damnit, all I want for my birthday is $200........

[Nate]

Is it backwards compatible with the gamecube?

My heart says no, unfortuneately.

[metroixer]

Uh yes it is nate O_o. It is backwards compatible.

[used:)]

Yes, it does have the capability of running those small ass discs. Go Nintendo.

[Dark Elite_H2]

Damn! I wanted to get the Wii for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, 'cause I happen to be a huge fan.
...I have almost enough for one...but I still wanna save up more. Cursed over-priced consoles...:mutter mutter:

[Nate]

Nathan wants Wii.

Nathan knows he will never actually use the wii, based on the number of games he has purchased in the last six months and never got around to playing.

[used:)]

Ahh, nice to see a sequel to FFCC. Looks like it will be great with the steampunkish airships added in.

I'll humor you with knowlege I know all about already...there is almost nothing I don't know...about the wii.

[metroixer]

I want the wii more than ever now after looking at wii.com. OH How am I gonna get the money though? >_<. I only got my 150$ from my b-day (Would have gotten more if it wasn't for me breaking my mp3 player the same week as my b-day :/). Any suggestions people? ^_^;

[Abeguy]

Sell stuff on Ebay...rake leaves

[Godlesswanderer]

Become a world class hitman. You get thousands per hit for that. Dollars that is. If it was Yen it'd be one shit job.

Even though I said I wasn't going to, I probably will buy the Wii. If not, I'll just sulk and moan about not having it. Either way, I think I'm slowly turning into a Nintendo fanboy.

Now to figure out how much money I actually have.

[Luskan]

as im a youngen..i'll just ask for it for christmas...weather i'll get it is a different story. but my dads an old boy i'll confuse him with all these figures and how good it is. and hopefully that'll work
