South African launch details on the Wii
It’s no secret that Nintendo has been keeping pretty mum about the South African launch details of the Wii. The South African based blog Ninty though has revealed sparse details that they have been able to confirm directly from Nintendo.
- The Wii will be officially launched in South Africa with a rumoured price of R2500 (About US$ 359).
- There has been no details on the price of the games.
- They’ve confirmed that neither Numetro, and Mustek will not be the importer of the said console.
- Nintendo will have a Wii booth at Rage 2007, but the console may be launched even before that or on the event itself.
The guys at Ninty raised a very valid point “Why the secrecy?” Is there something that they have to keep under wraps for this specific release? Anyway, the price of the Wii in South Africa looks to be pretty high considering that Wiis went for about US$ 250 when it was first introduced. Well, hopefully they’ll be able to get the prices down after a month or two.
