This is still all based on loose news from the Nintendo Conference, but here’s the deal:

  • The Nintendo Wii will be launched first in the USA on November 19 for $250 with a bundled copy of Wii Sports.
  • Still this year 25 to 30 games will be available
  • Virtual Console titles will be priced in the range of $5 to $10
  • The Wii will come with a Wii-mote (nunchuck and strap), AC adaptor, stand for console, A/V cable, sensor bar, stand for sensor bar and two AA batteries.
  • The lineup will consist of 16 games including The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

I have no info on the European release date or price, but I bet we’ll get it for 250€ on time for Xmas.

As for more details on the console itself:

  • There will be a photo channel that will allow users to use the Wii to display digital photographs on television.
  • There also will be an easy-to-use interactive news channel and weather channel.
  • The Wii will make it possible to browse the Web on the television.
