You can play Gamecubes games on it and download games from the NES, SNES, Megadrive, N64 and some other console I can't remember the name of with the "Virtual Console" download thing.

Games on release are Zelda: Twilight Pincess, Super Mario Galaxy and thats all I know as far as games go. Theres obviously more.

Can't remember the cost but it's alot less than a Ps3.
The other console would be the Turbografx-16, and Super Mario Galaxy is not a launch title.

The system has a massive launch line-up, with Nintendo releasing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, a port of the DS game 'Trauma Center', Excite Truck and Wii Sports (Baseball, Bowling, Boxing, Tennis, Golf) and third parties releasing Rayman Raving Rabbids, an FPS called Red Steel, Madden 07, Need For Speed Carbon, Call of Duty 3 and Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, amongst others.

The price is $250 in North America, and £179 in the UK. Wii Sports is included as part of the package.

As for non-gaming features, it will no longer be able to play DVDs, sadly but it will feature an avatar creator called "Mii" which will be used with Wii Sports. News and Weather "channels", a highly interactive photo viewer and an Opera Web Browser (purchasable from Wii Store with points) that supports Flash and Java.

WiiConnect24 will download demos and trailers to the system when its in standby.
