Preview: Nintendo Wii At Trusted Reviews
Riyad Emeran writing over at Trusted Reviews provides some insights into the much anticipated Nintendo Wii gaming console. ‘Nintendo has always promised that it would be making the Wii affordable, but last week’s unofficial announcement that the console would cost £149 turned out to be inaccurate, with Nintendo announcing a retail price of £179. This compares to pricing of €249 and $249 – once again proving that our friends over the pond get a slightly better deal than us Brits. That said, it’s still an affordable price point, especially when you consider what you’re getting in the box.
It’s been a long time since I bought a games console that had a game free in the box. In fact I’d probably have to go as far back as the Sega Master System, if my memory serves me correctly. As everyone had been hoping for months, Nintendo will be bundling Wii Sports with the console, and you couldn’t ask for a better game to demonstrate the true individuality and pure entertainment that the Wii offers.’
