IGN Wii has posted their guide to the launch of the Nintendo Wii in Japan tomorrow!
The Wii package is a bit different in Japan. It includes the following:
- Wii system
- Wii remote control w/strap
- Nunchuck
- AC Adapter
- AV Cable
- Wii Stand
- Wii Stand Support Plate
- Sensor
- Sensor Bar Stand
- Two batteries
Wii Sports is being sold separately. The sports compilation is one of the most heavily advertised game in Japan now, so Nintendo is clearly expecting to push a lot of units.Nintendo has a full set of accessories launching with the Wii, including (gulp!) component cables. Here’s what will be available on launch day and to come:
- AC Adapter (RVL-002): 3,000 yen
- AV Cable (RVL-009): 1,000 yen
- S-Video Cable (RVL-010): 2,500 yen
- Component Cable (RVL-011): 2,500 yen
- D Cable (RVL-012): 2,500 yen (available 12/9)
- SD Memory Card (RVL-020): 3,800 yen
- LAN Adapter (RVL-015): 2,800 yen (available December)
Extra Wiimotes (RVL-A-CW, 3,800 yen) and Nunchucks (RVL-A-FW, 1,800 yen) will be available at launch, along with the Classic Controller (RVL-A-RW, 1,800 yen).Not getting Wii Sports in the package may seem like a bum deal, but Nintendo Japan does have some bargains. Nintendo will be shipping out point cards in 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 yen values. The 5,000 yen card will include a Classic Controller.An even better value can be found with Hajimete no Wii. The Japanese version of Wii Play includes a Wiimote, essentialy making the Hajimete no Wii content cost 10 bucks.
