Despite some hopes, or perhaps in spite of them, Nintendo did not officially give out the final release date or the price for Wii during its big splash at the Leipzig Games Convention today. “The price has not been decided yet, but I expect it to be … less than 250 euros,” Bernd Fakesch, Nintendo’s German operations head, told Reuters on the sidelines of a gaming industry conference. Wii will also have some new titles coming its way. The sequel to Super Mario Strikers – Mario Strikers Charged – and Battalion Wars 2, or just BWii for short, are slated for some Wii action.

It also hopes to attract a broader audience than the young males who usually make up the console gaming market.
