After yesterday's flood of information about the Wii launch in Japan and the Americas, Nintendo has revealed at the third press event held in London's Docklands that the console will make its debut in Europe on December 8 for an estimated retail price of 249 euros and £179 in the U.K. ($315/$336 in U.S. dollars). The Wii in Europe will come in the same configuration as the one in the U.S., meaning that it will be bundled with Wii Sports, one Wii Remote controller, and one Nunchuk controller.

Nintendo said that there will be about 20 different Wii titles available at launch in Europe, including Wii Play (a collection of mini-games bundled with the Wii Remote), The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and third-party titles Red Steel (Ubisoft), Need for Speed: Carbon (EA), Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (Activision), Disney/ Pixar's Cars (THQ) and Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz (Sega), among others.

Nintendo's first-party games will retail at the estimated retail price of between 49 euros and 59 euros (£34 to £39 in the U.K.). Additionally, European gamers looking to buy another Wii Remote can get one for 39 euros (£29 in U.K.), while the Nunchuk controller will retail for 19 euros (£14 in U.K.). The Classic Controller, which should come in handy for Virtual Console titles, will also be available at launch for the price of 19 euros.

Not to be forgotten, Nintendo today also revealed the price and date for the Wii in Australia. The console will arrive down under on December 7 for the SRP of $399.95 (about $300 in U.S. dollars). Once again, the configuration for the console will be exactly the same as it is in the previously mentioned territories, and Australian gamers will have about 20 titles to choose from between launch day and the end of the year.

"Wii is a product for all to enjoy. Whether you're young or old, an experienced gamer or complete novice, Wii has something unique to offer us all," commented Rose Lappin, Director of Sales and Marketing. "At such an affordable price, we see Wii as being a true product of everybody."
