Wow Wii Launch in Japan....

[Terran]

Expect Wii's system wars numbers to start increasing dramatically...!! Once the morning trains started running, more and more people began to line up. By 5:40 a.m., store employees capped the line at around 1,500 people. As was the case with the PlayStation 3 launch, customers that tried to get in the Yodobashi Camera's line after 6 or 7 a.m. were turned away http://www.gamespot.com/news/6162631...stnews;title;0 Tizight!

Did you order a package deal from Ebgames or something? No, I ordered from a Virgin Megastore in London. At first they promised it sooner but some dude made a mistake with the release date. I have since been told it will be with me by December 8th. YAY!

already got a 360 and ps2, and im to lazy to move the controllers around so much. is it worth it? Yeah with the exception of "party games" every other game can be played as lazily as any other control scheme.... "party games" being Wii sports....Monkey Ball...Rayman....Wario Ware.... and even those can be played down..... It all just depends on how much you want to exagerate your movements and to what sensitivity you set the sensors too... I mean Zelda can be played laying down in a bed....It just doesnt feel as cool

I cant find any information on how many units Australia gets on launch... but its reported that "30,000 pre-orders have been made through most of all Australian retailers". Wii Midnight Launches With only days to go till the launch of Nintendo's groundbreaking new home console, Wii, Australian retail feedback suggests that Wii is heading towards being the biggest launch of any new video games system in our history. Retailers around the country are preparing for midnight launches, to help make Wii units widely available to consumers as soon as possible. To guarantee your purchase of a Wii unit it is recomended that you pre-order at your favourite retailer before launch, as it is expected stock will sell out fast, with pre-orders already running out. Following are the stores that have announced they are opening on December 6 for a Midnight launch. Join us in the Wii Midnight Parties! http://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendo/news/index.php
