Nintendo Wii Details Released
I’m excited about the Nintendo Wii, despite the silly name. Especially since Sony has delayed the release of the PS3 in Australia til March next year (which is probably when I would’ve bought it anyway if it had stuck with the November schedule, what with saving up $1000 and letting bugs be ironed out first).
The release dates and prices for both the US and Japan were officially released today. Here’s the lowdown:
America
- US$250
- November 19th, 2006
- 25 titles on release day
Japan
- 25,000 yen
- December 12th, 2006 (yes, America gets Wii before Japan!)
- 16 titles on release day
Good grief but America seems to have grabbed Nintendo’s sympathies. Perhaps they just felt sorry for them, what with PS3 taking so long to come out and costing so much. Nevermind the Xbox 360 piece-o-crap.
In other Wii news, the official website wii.com is live but only with Japanese information at the moment.
