Distributors in Japan started their preorder campaigns for the Wii overnight. Pricing is set at JPY25,000 or US$295 from NCS. Since the USA launch is 2 weeks earlier, pricing for Japanese consoles is not expected to change despite expected shortages stateside. A lot of USA Wii consoles are also going to be exported next month. Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii follows a region lock-out model and USA games will not play on Japanese Wiis and vice versa. If previous Nintendo consoles are any gauge, the modification scheme should be a simple jumper toggle. We'll begin offering mod services as soon as we figure out the methodology.
Wii Sports is not bundled with the Japanese Wii and is sold separately. Note also that an AC adapter and AV cables are included with the Wii.
