Nintendo Co., Ltd. is planning to release its new game console in 2006. It will be the first of Nintendo’s game consoles to have Internet connectivity and Wi-Fi access, freeing users from the need for a separate modem or broadband adapter.
In addition to playing games, consumers can use this platform for other applications such as downloading information from the Internet, listening to music or watching videos.
Nintendo’s new game console will be priced at about 20,000 yen (about $170). For comparison, Nintendo’s most recent game console was sold for 12,500 yen (about $100) when it went on the market two years ago.
The external appearance of this game console is the same as the Nintendo GameCube, so users can easily switch from current games to new ones.
