From here (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/08/wii-to-sell-for-249/):

Some speculative Wii details have begun hitting internet forums. From the post: "I just picked up the EGM issue with Zelda on the cover that I spoke about in the Nintendo conference. There are new Zelda shots, looks GREAT... There's also pics of Monkey Ball, Tony Hawk, Rayman and Red Steel."

Here's what else shows up in the thread:

* $249 Price tag
* Virtual Consoler (we knew this)
* 3d Controller (we knew this)
* ALWAYS online (console is always online, even when OFF)
* Built in speaker on the controller

Less than a day, and we'll know for sure or not how much of the above is true.



Heh... cheap enough that if a good enough game came out (I'm thinking Resident Evil 5 - with that funky controller) I might break my oath to not buy a new gen console.

Need more data!

er... yeah...

It's Nintendo's next gen... they used to call it the Revolution, but it's real name is Wii.
