Wii South Korean Launch Details

By Jorge Ba-oh 15.04.2008 2

Nintendo have confirmed plans to launch the Wii in South Korea this month.

After waiting over a year, the folk in South Korea can finally get their paws on a little white box. Nintendo revealed that a localised version of the Wii on April 26th for 220,000 Won aiming to target children's day on May 5th.

The company set a 39,000 won price tag each for game, Wii Play and Wii Sports, the two most popular titles.

I remember that the general sentiment was skeptical when we first launched DS in Korea. But as we all know, it is now played by many customers here, even aged people who were unlikely to play video games before.

I'm pretty sure the Wii will do very well in Korea after seeing the success of the DS.
