With just over a week to go until the Nintendo Wii's Australian launch, we get our hands on a final retail box of the next-generation console. Want to see what's inside? Then click away below.

Inside the box was something to make any Nintendo fanboy weep. A brand new Wii console, an extra remote and nunchuk, and a little-known game called The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

The contents of the box are divided into two sections -- the first carries the Wii unit itself, while the second has the accessories (such as remote controller, nunchuk and Wii Sports).

The Wii itself is fairly small -- in fact, its power brick is almost half its size.

Behold the Wii60. As you can see, Microsoft's Xbox 360 is much larger than the Wii.

Just like the 360, the Wii can also be stored flat on its back.
