Man, Nintendo don’t tell us anything anymore. They don’t answer our calls, ignore us on Facebook chat – the works. We didn’t even know that the new redesigned Wii was coming to Australia. We only found out when Vooks alerted us to the Nintendo website.
You can buy a red Wii, a black Wii or you can even pick up a regular old white Wii if you want – but Nintendo has teamed up with charity Shalom Gamarada, commissioning four indigenous Australian artists to create eight unique artworks on Nintendo Wii consoles. They are currently up for auction on eBay, with all the proceeds going to the Shalom Gamarada Scholarship Programme.
The Nintendo Wii has just hit 2 million units, and has done so in less time than the the Nintendo DS, making it the fastest console in Australian history to hit that figure.
Whereas the Nintendo DS took 52 months to hit 2 million units sold, the Nintendo Wii took five months less – hitting the same target in 47 months.
Nintendo is working on a new Legend of Zelda game. And according to Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto, the game will be easier to play.
More announcements from the Nintendo event in Melbourne, with news the Black Nintendo Wii will arrive in Australia March 11. Price? Good news…
It’s been quite awhile, but now we’re back, playing the Nintendo Wii family party game Go Play Lumberjacks, so you don’t have to.
