Mario With RevolutionThe Nintendo Wii is coming to the US on November 19 the price will be $250. This is higher than anticipated, but it will be sold packaged with Wii Sports. Wii Sports is a compilation of sports games including: tennis, baseball, golf, and (previously unannounced) bowling and boxing. Also included with the console will be one Wii remote and nunchuck attachment. A surprise feature is that Opera will be included by default.

The Virtual Console will launch with 30 titles. These games will cost $5, $8, and $10 for NES, SNES, and N64 respectively.

They also confirmed that first party games will be at the conventional $50 per game. Third party developers may set higher prices. Controllers will be a bit steep though. The Wii remote will be about $40, the nunchuck about $20, and the classic controller about $20.

Nintendo plans to ship 4 million units by the end of the year. Now waiting for a game list and November 19th!!!

    Every post I’ve read (engadget, 1up, ign) has listed opera as available for download for Wii points ($$$), but it looks like the final price hasn’t been announced.

    Maybe I missed something, or maybe a bunch of places got it wrong?

    Nope, you are right. When I first posted this I had some misinformation about Opera. It is going to cost an undetermined amount of points. On that note, points in the US relate directly to pennies. So, 1000 points is $10.00.
