What you get with a Japanese Wii

(why do I not like that subject line?) It's the same as what the US gets, less the "Wii Sports" pack-in...

According to Nintendo's Japanese website, this is what Japanese gamers will find in their Wii boxes on December 2nd:

* Wii hardware
* "Wiimote" controller and wrist strap (1)
* Nunchuck controller (1)
* Sensor bar
* Sensor bar stand
* A/V cable (unspecified connection)
* AC adaptor
* Hardware stand
* Hardware support plate (purpose of which remains unknown)
* 2 AA batteries

Note that Wii Sports will not be packed-in with the Japanese package -- rather, it will be sold separately on launch day for 4800 yen.

I *hope* that the Gamecube component cable works with the Wii or at the very least a component cable is made readily available at launch. I'll be pissed if I have to use composite! Also, I never dug the idea of that sensor bar on my TV...

On the other hand, it sounds like the online service and functionality, including Web browsing via Opera, will be very robust. Hopefully they do better than the friends code system present in the handheld DS though...
