The Wii: 18,827.00 JPY = 211.91 USD

Can't help you on the McDouble, but from what I know from experience, McDonald's is generally more expensive than in the U.S.

McDonald's double cheese burger(not McDouble)'s ordinary price may vary but it's Yen290 around so now in Japan. People usually use coupon and order combo, not just a burger. The quality, taste, contents and size are different from McDouble anyway.

Wii's retail price also may vary but it's Yen25,000 around. Both of those Japanese retail prices are at least not so attractive to place order for American travelers going to Japan. It doesn't mean retails in Japan are all so expensive anyway.

EVERYTHING will be more expensive in Japan because the Yen is stronger than the dollar. Think of it this way you could be buying a 100 JPY soda, that soda just cost you $1.14 USD.
