Nintendo Wii will launch November 19, 2006. The Wii is set to retail at $249.99. The price includes on wireless Wii remot controller, one Nunchuk controller, and five different Wii sports games.

About 30 titles have been promised to be released by March 2007 for the Wii by third party publishers.

The price tag of the the Wii compared to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 looks like a real bargain. The Wii will probably be the first next gen console I get. I’m glad to see a Nintendo console that can get online. Apparently Wii users will be able to download older games originally put out for the past consoles like Nintendo 64, Super NES, and NES. I’m partial to older Nintendo games so this is great way to enjoy them without the clutter of old consoles and games.
