Well, Nintendo has finally given a release date and price for the Nintendo Wii. Apparently, they had a couple of surprises.
1) The US will get their Wii's on November 19th, while Japan on December 2nd. I think this is the first time in video game history that the US got something first before Japan.
2) $250 retail price. Apparently, the Europeans are getting their Wii's cheaper. Converted to pesos, that's somewhere around P12,500. Japan will be getting theirs at Y25,000. Again, roughly P12,500.
3) The good news is that you can play your NES, SNES, and N64 games on it. My only question is how, considering the Wii (at least from the photo) doesn't have enough buttons to support the multiple button requirements of certain SNES and N64 games. At least Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be released at the same time the console is shipping.

The Wii should have a controller attachment with around ten buttons (or something similar to the Gamecube or N64 controller) where you can plug in the Wii controller, play with a typical controller, and still have the Wii's motion-capture tech.
