Nintendo Unveils Holiday Wii Gear and Games

Nintendo has announced new gear and games for its Wii console for the holiday season. One of the biggest announcements is one that we talked about in July called Wii Speak. The Wii Speak channel will go online November 16th and will allow up to four people to chat online. The service requires the new Wii Speak accessory retailing for $29.99.

Nintendo also says that supplies of the Wii in America will see significant increases between October and December compared to 2007 levels. Considering you couldn’t find the console during the holiday season last year, that is good news.

Key new software for the holiday season according to Nintendo includes Wii Music, which launches on October 20th and allows players to mimic playing different instruments with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Animal Crossing: City Folk will launch on November 16th and WiiWare will launch to deliver new games directly to the Wii console.
