In about a month salivating gamers will be able to get their hands on the most highly anticipated game system of 2006 (Sorry PS3). On November 19th the Wii will be sold at retail stores in the US for $250.

$250?! Hell yea!

Moreover, Nintendo intends to announce that every Wii will be bundled with Wii Sports, a game compilation that includes golf, bowling, baseball and tennis. While the new version of the Mario franchise won’t appear until 2007, Twilight Princess will. Games are priced at $50 a piece, $10 less than the standard Xbox 360 title. Over 30 classic titles will be available on the Virtual console, including Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong.

Expect the formal announcement today in the form of a press conference.

    Apparently this is false, a press conference just happened in Japan announcing a release date of Dec 2 for Japan, North America would surely be later, especially considering the date above is a Sunday.
