    I heard the Wii was going to be about $170 (but it was on the Steam Forums).

    Good news if its true though.

    I could a have Wii for free now if I wanted. And for free!

    Office toilet is just round the corner...

    I know, I know gettting my coat!

    In all seriousness, if the price point is equally cheap in the UK, count me in. I love some of the Mario games especially kart...tell me they are making a MarioKart conversion for Wii!?

    most likely, and you'd probably use the remote the same way as for Excite Truck (turning it on it's side and using it like a steering wheel)...

    The Wii page on Wiki has been updated for anyone that didn't notice, it has further details on the release date, and price, and well...everything....
