Nintendo of America President & resident name taker Reggie Fils-Aime has revealed in a recent interview with ABC America that he will be on-hand in New York City at midnight on November 19 for the USA launch of the Wii to hand over the very first purchased Nintendo Wii consoles.
It was not made clear where fans in New York can line up for them to recive their Wii from Reggie, however early bets would be that it would be at the Nintendo World Store, which is located in Rockefeller Center.
The Wii launchs in the US on November 19th for $249.95 & we’ll have more details on this story as it happens.
A diehard Nintendo fan since I got my first Game Boy back on Christmas 1992 and haven't looked back since. Got SNES with Super Mario Allstars for Christmas 1993. Favorite games of all time include such amazing titles as Secret of Mana, Kirby Canvas Curse, Chrono Trigger, Zelda Majoras Mask and of course Super Mario Galaxy. I'm a huge retro game fan and own way too many random Game Boy carts to count or name. I host the Vookcast around here and like to chip in with the occasional downloadable title review whenever I can find the time.
