Wii accessories and games priced

By Spencer . October 13, 2006 . 10:54am

While waiting in line to reserve a Wii Gamestop passed out sheets listing what games were available to reserve and the price of the Wii accessories. We already knew that a complete controller was going to cost $60 (for all you math junkies $59.98 + tax), $39.99 for the Wiimote and $19.99 for the nunchuk attachment. The retro controller sells for $20, so there isn’t a bundle deal like there is in Japan where you buy the controller plus 5000 Wii points for 5000 yen. Controller gloves cost $9.99 each and if you’re worried about your Wii overheating you can get an intercooler for $19.99. As of this list component and S-Video cables are outrageously priced at $59.99 and $39.99 respectively.

Super Mario Galaxy and Metriod Prime 3 are notably missing from the game list. :\ Good info though thanks. Has any one actually seen this "Wii Glove"?

Probably because those games aren't coming out for sometime so Gamestop isn't taking reservations for them yet.

$60 for a component video cable?! Considering I just got one for my PS2 for around $25...and hasn't Nintendo made it a point to make sure the same video cables work between consoles? I remember having one composite A/V cable from my SNES and having it work perfectly with my Nintendo 64, and later my GameCube as well.

Unless by "component" they mean "HDMI," and by "S-video" they mean "component."
