I'm sorry to see the first Mario game won't be available until 2007. Zelda: Twilight Princess is slated for release at the end of 2006 however.

Wow, I heard they were actually going to loose money by selling their consoles this cheap. They are doing it to compete with XBox 360 and PS3 I imagine.

Actually, I don't believe they will lose much if anything on the Wii.. it's not really a powerhouse like the others but it's innovative!
