Wii Pre-Order
Added: October 13th, 2006 (tagged with: nintendo, toys, video+games)
After freezing my ass off in front of EB Games for about an hour, I was the 12th person in line to pre-order the upcoming Nintendo Wii (and a few accessories). EB Games was only taking 31 pre-orders for the system, and the store on Church Street in Evanston had all 31 pre-order slots filled by the time I checked out (at 10:01 a.m. CDT).
Here is a quick summary of what I have pre-ordered and will be receiving when the system comes out on November 19th: One Console System with Wii Sports, Controller, and Nunchuck; Extra Controller and Nunchuck; Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess; and Rampage: Total Destruction.
* Console and Nunchuck images from the official Nintendo Wii web site. Game box art found at Play Nintendo.
While I was there, I also reserved my copy of the Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for the Nintendo DS (which comes out in March 2007). The game is a continuation of the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker game for the Nintendo Game Cube (which I will finally be able to play once I get my Wii [yea backwards compatibility!]).
Here is the Nintendo Wii Software New Release information that I got from EB Games this morning:
