Wii will launch in the UK on December 8th and will cost (a lot) at £179 with games costing in the region of £34-39.

The good news of course is that the Wii, unlike the PS3, has not been delayed until next March – which was rumoured – but the somewhat disappointing news is that £179 price tag, which is a lot more than the Japanese and US tags of £115 and £133, respectively. Still, anyone buying consoles in the UK is well used to getting crapped on when it comes to price. Should it stop you? Hell no! The console will come with one wireless Wii remote controller, the nunchuk and five Wii Sports games on one disc, as standard.

Additional controllers – both wireless Wii and classic, as well as nunchuks will be available at launch too.

There will around 20 games titles at launch including The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Ubisoft’s Red Steel, EA’s Need for Speed: Carbon, Activision’s Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam, THQ’s Disney/ Pixar’s Cars and Sega’s Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz. – Martin Lynch
