E3 Round-up - Nintendo Wii

Nintendo revealed some interesting facts about its Wii, but crucial details still remain in the realm of rumor. First the facts:

• A classic controller will be available for old-school games, such as the downloadable library of NES, SNES, N64 and Sega titles
  
• The motion-sensitive remote-style controller has a speaker for context-sensitive sound effects, such as reeling in a fish
  
• A version of the Opera Web browser will be offered for console Web surfing
  
• A light gun exists for a Duck Hunt remake
  
• A new Resident Evil game will be Wii exclusive (not Resident Evil 5!)
  
• Other buzzworthy Wii titles include: Call of Duty 3, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Fire Emblem, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Madden NFL 07, Metal Slug Anthology, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Red Steel, Sonic Wildfire, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, Trauma Center: Second Opinion and WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Nintendi is still dodging the question of price, but rumor pegs the Wii at $250 with classic games running less than $5 for NES, exactly $5 for SNES and $10 for Nintendo 64. These classic games won't be remade - so no high-def versions as with Xbox Live Arcade - but they're expected to be output as progressive scan at least...
