Latest Wii price rumor sets system at $170

Advanced Media Network says a recent financial report from Tokyo-based Nikko Citigroup states that Nintendo's Wii will launch in Japan for 19,800 yen, about $170 U.S.

This financial forecast is nothing more than just the latest in a long line of Wii rumors that's we've been forced to endure. With the actual Wii launch just months away, why does Nintendo insist on keeping us in the dark regarding a solid price and release date? It almost begs the question: What are they hiding?

Check out these other price rumors that have hit our weary eyes:

• Only official statement: No more than $250

• Camp Hyrule fine print

• Brazil gamers out of luck

• Cold, hard facts of a Slurpee
