More Nintendo Wii Information

The more I look at this thing, the more I believe that Nintendo will reinvent video gaming forever with its brand new Nintendo Wii (and its funky controller system). If you take your average DVD case, and stack 3 on top of each other (yeah thats right) you have a Nintendo DS. I honestly cannot believe how Nintendo manages to get these things smaller every year. According to Kotaku.com, Nintendo will announce the shipment of Wiis around September. There is a ton of speculation going around about this, especially in the department that the Wii is being sold "at a loss" and will be much cheaper than anticipated. If you are like me and don't want to look into speculation, the shipping will be announced around September. Here are a few of the launch titles:


Wii Sports (Assortment of)
Disaster: Day of Crisis
Project H.A.M.M.E.R.
Super Mario Galaxy
Excite Truck
Warioware: Smooth Moves
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess (Next post will be more on this)


WOAH strong lineup there. A Mario/Wario Game, Metroid, and a ZELDA game? That is almost too good to pass up now. Looks like a nice, strong lineup for Nintendo. The question is, how affordable are the games? Giants like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 games cost about $60 USD, but what about the Wii? As we get closer to the launch date, we will find out more information.
