Unless this Best Buy in Cambridge, Massachusetts doesn’t have any Wii consoles in stock, this guy will definitely get one tomorrow morning. Three local students, James from Cleveland (standing), Felisia from Arizona (sitting), and Yoni from New Jersey (sleeping plaid blob), have been waiting on the street since 6AM, Saturday morning. By the time the store opens at 9AM tomorrow, they will hav...

That’s one small step for man ..
Since last week, actually. Flickr user XJustin IntensityX got some shots of the early Wii line at Times Square. As you can see, no one’s been shot, stabbed, or raped, but it’s too soon to boast those stats quite yet. According to Justin, some of these fine geek folks have been waiting since last Sunday. It’s a wonder why there are so few here seeing as, come midnight, the Reggimi...
Tomorrow night is the big day, and instead of going with wads of cash under your armpits, it’s better to go with a pre-prepped spending limit. N-Sider’s Wii calculator will help you do that very thing. It includes all the launch games, most the launch window games, accessories (limited to remotes, nunchuks, and classic controllers), and Wii point cards. To add an er on the other side o...
Your copy of Animal Crossing Wild World is, at this point, anywhere between your girlfriend’s house or in the local GameStop’s used section. Retrieve it, cause from today till midnight Sunday, you’ll receive a gift letter from Nintendo for signing onto wifi. If you don’t have a copy of the game, don’t plan on checking it out, or don’t mind spoilers, here’s...
On November 19th, Nintendo’s little white Wii will make the scene, as well as other new things. One of those new things will be WiiCade, a Wii remote-compatible website meant to be used with Wii’s Opera web browser. In the WiiCade, users will be able to play flash games designed to for Nintendo’s wand apparatus. The site will feature 15 games when it launches on Sunday, 2 of thos...
Apparently PS3 lines received a little rain in most of the country last night. If you’re camping out for a Wii this Saturday night around 11:45PM, look up. The Leonid Meteor Shower will be at it’s peak just before midnight in the Eastern time zone. [Thanks, Jack!]
Too bad this won’t be coming to Wii (at least I think not).
From Gamasutra’s “Question of the Week” (Are Games Industry Professionals Buying PlayStation 3 or Wii?): As a video game professional, are you buying a Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo’s Wii or both on their North American launch later next week? How are you securing your console (eBay, pre-order, queue?), and what underpinned your buying decision? Interestingly, of the profess...
Modojo gave Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis a mere 1/5 stars: “So what does $20 buy you? A piece of garbage port of a fifteen-year old Sega Genesis game with only a battery save and a new spin dash move to spruce it up… Slowdown and glitches; terrible sound; this is closer to the Game Gear version than the Genesis one.” Nice Q/A testing, Sega. Hopefully the VC version can deliver. [Th...
