Wii Owners Looking at a Nintendo Drought?
The site Computer and Videogames has up an (unverifiable article) stating that several anticipated Wii titles are going to be delayed until late 2007. Specifically, they mention Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption as being out of our hands until the Christmas season next year. They report this information via 'reliable sources', and Nintendo is unwilling to confirm or deny the claims as of yet. N'Gai at Newsweek reminds us that Reggie Fils-Aime denied the possibility of a 'Nintendo drought' in an interview they conducted back in October. Here's hoping he doesn't live to regret these words: "... The third example I would give you is Mario Galaxy, another from-the-ground-up Wii game that we are strategically timing the launch to make sure that we continue driving momentum through 2007. So N'Gai, how do I answer the question, 'Will there be no drought,' and 'How will we make sure that there are fantastic titles for Wii?' The answer is Zelda, Metroid and Mario. Which is a pretty darn good lineup."
Hey, my Mom found one (in Tacoma, WA). You sir are not trying hard enough. Stop posting to /. and call an electronics store or two.
For the record, she scored one at a Fred Meyer on a Sunday (supposedly a shipment day), she got one of three. Then again, she also tends to get up before noon on a sunday, so GLHF. (sorry for the generalization)
I'm not saying camp out, but just do a little research. School was supposed to teach you how to do that.
Yes, e-bay can suck my nuts. I went to the only store in my area that would be selling Wiis only to be #21 out of 20 in line. I saw the list and the first 4 people on it were from the same god damn family... Even the guy in front of me had his computer retarded grandma on the phone checking his auctions for him before he had his 2 (TWO!) consoles in hand, no thanks to his girlfriend who bought my Wii. Small towns just get raped, its true. His e-bay password though is rockfordfosgate, if only I had my laptop at the time...
