European Wii Launch: Video Report
James Temperton :: Friday December 8th 2006


The Wii is out in all the major regions of the gaming world now and no doubt most of you are already enjoying it. In the coming days we'll be bringing you review content of all the major and best launch titles and hopefully another launch report. Major Wii events were held across the continent for the midnight launch and we've got a ten minute video report covering Milan, London, Paris and Newcastle to give you a flavour of all the Wii goodness. We've also got interviews with Ian Wright, Pat Cash and Ricky Hatton for you in this extensive C3 report. Funky stuff...

Huge crowds, celebrities, bright lights and a huge amount of hype were all present as the Wii took Europe by storm. Initial sales reports for the continent are excellent and Nintendo are already hailing the launch a major success. Anyway, enough introduction. You can enjoy the video below in YouTube stream, or if you're a registered user and what a higher quality version for download, you can nab it from our servers and keep it for all eternity.

Swish video, but you forgot to mention anything that wasn't 210% positive to Nintendo, such as several major UK retailers like Comet not getting any stock at all.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

The end bit from GAME in Newcastle is ours, the rest is provided by Nintendo to the press. And yeah, it is positive, but amazingly enough they didn't release any footage of people complaining, which is a shame as that would be far more interesting than Ian Wright getting his words muddled up...

Great video, it was great to see the other parts of Europe as opposed to solely the UK launch as we've seen so far. Thanks guys!


Special thanks to Clarky for the sig

i saw the Milan video 2 days ago! and the paris one there ust of been a thousand people there... how long was that line.....Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562
