WII Release to the Masses



Wii

Just as people thronged in Japan and US to pick up their PS3, the release of Nintendo's WII also saw a similar situation.

Lines outside Times Square Toys "R" Us store in New York snaked upto a thosand people all awaiting the midnight release of Wii.

Toys "R" Us Times Square in Manhattan and GameStop at Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles were the two places that featured in the midnight launch.

And at midnight, Isaiah "Triforce" Johnson, 29, purchased the first Wii, which he got autographed by Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime.

The Wii costs $249.99 (way less than the PS3).

When it came to Nintendo, my two favorite titles were Mario and Donkey Cong. There was a whole set of other games that I fairly remember almost a decade back, when I was heavily into gaming.

As of today, my PC serves as the only gaming station I use!
