Nintendo announced Thursday that its new game console, called Wii, will launch in North and South America on Nov. 19 with a $250 price tag and a bundled sports game. Compared to the $600 PlayStation 3, which also launches in November, Wii is a good deal for gamers... The game included in the package, Wii Sports, features a variety of sports minigames that use the console's unique motion-sensitive controller, which is shaped like a television remote... Nintendo will have its own home-grown games Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Excite Truck available at launch for $50... Nintendo also took the wraps off the machine's final feature, which it calls "Wii Channel". From the same menu used to boot games, users can browse the web, edit and share photos with friends, and get free news and weather updates from dedicated services.
