Woohoo…. of all the next generation consoles being developed, only the Wii has managed to catch my attention and now it’s launch date has been annouced. The 19 of Novemember 2006 is the day I am looking forward to get my Wii, that is if it launches in Asia on that date.
Included with Wii is the Wii Sports game (with tennis, golf, basketball and bowling), the controller and a “nunchuck” attachment. Other details:
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ Wii owners can download and play games from Nintendo’s older NES, Super NES and Nintendo 64 systems and NEC’s TurboGrafx. Initially, about 30 games (usually $5 to $10) will be available, including The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario 64. Games are saved on SD memory cards, which can also be used to import digital pictures.
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ Built-in high-speed Net connectivity (including WiFi) lets Wii gather news and weather updates, plus messages from other Wii owners.
