Now you can pre-order the Wii from Gameplanet Store, guaranteeing your unit on launch day. Unfortunately, the price of the Wii remains unannounced, but the pre-order price indicates that it will cost more than $50 USD. 
Here are just a few of the games that will be Wii launch titles:
Ubisoft has confirmed that Rayman: Raving Rabbids will be exclusive to the Wii until May 2007. It is set to be released for the Wii in November 2006, with PS3 and Xbox 360 versions after its exclusivity expires.
In the latest issue of Game Informer magazine, Bill Trinen, Nintendo of America’s Head of Localization, discusses the upcoming Legend of Zelda game, Twilight Princess. He expects that the ESRB will give the game a rating of T due to the more realistic graphics. This, which will be a first for the series, will surely please older fans who wish for the series to take on a more “mature” feel.
Additionally, Trinen suggests that more than just the game’s visual nature may warrant a higher rating than has yet been seen in a Zelda title:
With Twilight Princess, the depth of story and its connections to past games means not only does it have twice the text as Wind Waker, but it includes a fair number of legacy terms that originate in past games, so consistency is a big focus there.
In their preview of Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam, IGN revealed that there will be no third-party games for the Wii until 2007.
Gamers hoping for an online component, however, are in for bad news, because one isn’t planned. Activision would not say why, but IGN has separately learned from multiple development sources that Nintendo will not release Wii Wi-Fi Connection libraries to third parties until early 2007, which means that no third party launch title will have an online mode.
This means that third-party launch titles such as Call of Duty 3, Red Steel, Far Cry, and Madden NFL 07 will not have online support.
EA, at the Leipzig Games Convention, confirmed that they will be releasing 6 titles for the Wii within the months following its launch. The games are:
Several screenshots and character renderings from Battalion Wars 2 are available at Jeux-France.com. Battalion Wars 2 may be playable at the Leipzig Games Convention, so more gameplay screenshots should be available soon.
1UP.com has posted a number of videos and photos from the Leipzig Games Convention, which is being held from August 23rd to August 27th. Nintendo doesn’t have any public kiosks for the Wii, but will be showing it behind closed doors to industry insiders.
Nintendo has announced the European Wii price will be under 250 euros, which equates to £170 and $320 USD. With this news, a $170 USD price for the Wii no longer seems very likely, but it’s still significantly less than that of the XBOX 360 or PS3.
Until now, only the Polar White version of the DS Lite has been available in the United States. But on September 13th, Nintendo will be releasing Onyx (black) and Coral Pink (pink) versions of the DS Lite in the US, giving purchasers the choice of color they haven’t previously had.
Nintendo is releasing the pink DS Lite, which has been long released in Japan, to Europe on October 27th. There’s still no word on when it or the blue or black DS Lite will be released in the United States.
Update: It has been announced that the black and pink DS Lite will be released on September 13th–maybe the US does get fair treatment after all!
