Nintendo News | Game and Gamestation Wii Update

By Jorge Ba-oh 10.10.2006 40

Quick News: According to various branches of UK retail outlets Game and Gamestation, Wii pre-orders will be ending shortly due to increasing demand for the console.

However, the retailers will be receiving additional stock over other stores as thanks for continued support during the GameCube's decline, according to a C3 Reader who received word from his local branches. Pre-orders may possibly be "first come, first serve" with those who pre-ordered early being given additional priority.

Stick with C3 for additional updates.

I dont think there has been any news of the wifi connector yet, but since there wont be any online initially I wouldnt worry.

Uh, won't there be the VIrtual Console from day1? And the Wifi connector does work with Wii by the way Smilie It was revealed at the same time as the "Wired ethernet kit" was revealed.

Whoo! Good thing I'm the 30th to pre-order in my good game shop!


The DS Wi-Fi connector works as a Wii-Fi connector too ? That sounds great Smilie ...

It's a shame my PC will have to stay on all the time though.

Since I lvie in NZ with a population of 4 million people, consoles here NEVER run out. Proof enough is that the Xbox360 was unavailable for 5 days then shipments came again so no worries for me...

BUT, I hear that Electronic's Boutique and "The Games Man" are getting massive pre-orders and I'm getting worried...I might actually have to get off my arse and pre-order a consoleSmilie

The Tesco's i work in the the biggest shop in the North of Ireland the DS is being promoted all over the shop GC and Xbox 360's are know where to be seen


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

I thought Nintendo were supposed to be looking into selling their consoles in places where consoles aren't usually sold to get a broader range of consumers. Surely at least making sure Supermarkets have then would be a good start?

Gamestation certainly does do it in order of reservations.I am 11th on the list, with most of the store staff being the first 5.

How does this set up work though? o_o

I don't understand how they're going to allocate them on how early you pre-ordered.

Argh, I'm hopeless Smilie
