Wii games can be reserved:
Go Nintendo reports that Nintendo Wii games can now be reserved at your local Gamestop/EB Games. Games that could be reserved include: Madden Wii, Need for Speed: Carbon, Blitz: The League, Rayman Raving Rabbids, and Red Steel. Still no official word on the reserve for the Wii consoles, however...

Possible November 2006 US Launch Date:
IGN Wireless ran a podcast that revealed a possible November release date of the Wii. From the podcast: "It really is amazing and I absolutely cannot wait to play it in November. November really cannot come soon enough for me." Reported from Go Nintendo.

Wii will use VoIP with Mic:
Megagames says that "The Nintendo controller will feature a microphone and will store a user phonebook/address book while it will be used as a VoIP phone and will help gamers communicate while online without the need for a headset... Nintendo is not playing by the book on this one; so expect nothing and anticipate everything." Nintendo also has reserved the internet address "Wiichannel.com," rumored to be offering games, trailers, animations, shows and other content.

Wii could cost between $200-$250:
In an interview with GameDaily, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata said "what we've been repeatedly saying is that it's going to be an affordable price point, and when we say affordable, you may want to check our past records of price points, launching price points for any past hardware..." This was Iwata's response to a question of a $250 price point mentioned by EGM, but looking back on Nintendo's US launch price point of its home consoles, they have launced at $199.
