Wii think The Guardian blew it
After a substantially large wait, Nintendo has finally revealed the pricing and the launch date for its forthcoming Wii console in Europe at today's press conference.
It was announced (via gi.biz) that the Wii is to retail for the higher than expected price of £179.99 and will include a copy of the now infamous Wii Sports. The console itself is due to make its debut in Europe December 8th which will prove the perfect time for Nintendo to tap into the frenzied pre Christmas rush.
At the event, Nintendo also stated that it expects 15-20 titles to make their debut alongside the machine when it launches this December. The games that were mentioned include the highly awaited Zelda: Twilight Princess, Red Steel and Rayman: Raving Rabbits amongst others which are all set to retail for around £35-£40.
