The '''{{wp|Wii}}''' is a [[Nintendo]] video game console that was released on | The '''{{wp|Wii}}''' is a [[Nintendo]] video game console that was released on March 3, 2007, in the United States for $249.99. It was then released in Japan on November 19, 2006; Oceania on December 7, 2006; and Europe on December 8, 2006. In every country except Japan, ''{{wp|Wii Sports}}'' is included with the Wii. The Wii came with 30 titles at its launch. Before the official name was announced on April 27, 2006, the console was codenamed "Revolution." Earlier versions of the Wii have backwards compatibility with the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and features four GameCube controller ports, meaning GameCube games can be inserted into the disc slot and can be played on the Wii. This makes it the first Nintendo home console to provide official backwards compatibility with its predecessor. | ||
