Infendo has many Canadian readers. And if you are one of them, you probably visited a currency conversion website today to figure out what the Wii price is in Canadian dollars. Well your Infendo Canuck representative has you covered.The Wii will launch in Canada for an MSRP of $279.95, which is on par with the US price. First party games will cost $59.95, while virtual console pricing will come in the next couple of weeks. Everything else is the same, from what is packed in the box, to the release date, to the games being launched.
Wait.. we have to pay MORE for VC titles? Wtf.. I am not spending $15 on a n64 title.. that's all I'm saying.At least we're only spending an extra $20 on the console. At least it's not $300.
Well.. we might be spending an extra dollar or so on the games. A quick conversion will show it shouldn't get over a dollar for all games.
Canadian gamers have usually had to pay a premium on the console, so I'm glad it's a straight up conversion from USD.Virtual console pricing is yet to be announced, but I doubt it is much more than the US prices, if at all (maybe a dollar more like you said).
Here in Mexico the Wii will cost aprox. $450 dollars. Thats really expensive.
Thanks a thousand for that, eh? =)=) webbie Bud
In israel we won't even be gettung the Wii, It'll cost about 400$ if i'm going to import it, and then there's the pain of finding games for the Wii… God Damit, I hate my country.
Didn't Reggie answer a Q&A question about the VC titles for Canadians? I believe he said $24 for a 2000 point card (so, $6 for NES games, $9.60 for SNES, $12 for N64)

Tanks i was acctually looking for the Cdn prices all over, Hooray for Canada!!
Arhg!!!!!!!!!! i meant Thanks
Can anyone tell me who I have to sell my soul to to get one right now? I'll do it! I'm ready man, I'm ready.
Cantide: If those prices are actually true then that means I will not be buying many VC titles. $10 for a SNES game doesn't appeal to me.
Keep in mind that 279 is the MSRP, not a guarantee of what stores will charge in any way. If one or two of the biggies charge 299, all the rest will as well, knowing full well we'll buy it anyways.That said, I too am glad to get a straight conversion with our surprisingly sweet as of late Canadian dollar. VC titles mean nothing to me anyways, until the fresh and new content starts to come out.
