As part of what has become your “typical” Nintendo interview these days (the console is different, it’s for everyone, and it’s going to be easy to use and fun), Reggie Files-Aim gave ABC News a bit of a scoop when he told them he would be handing out the first Wii consoles to some lucky gamers at the Nintendo World Store in New York City at midnight on November 19.
Unfortunately, I was not one of the lucky ones who got a pre-order at the NWS, but I know for a fact several Infendo readers did. So, if you are one of the lucky ones, then I invite you to record your adventure in whatever way possible and then send it in to Infendo as a tip. If you also happen to have an Infendo t-shirt in your possession, well, all the better.
I'll be there with my cam – if I can get one of me with a Wii and Reggie whilst holding two thumbs aloft, my year will have been made!
Rauru keeps calling every day to see if they're taking pre-orders anymore, but it seems they aren't answering their phones anymore …
He said he'll be at "a store" .. Maybe he's talking about Toys R Us in Times Square. Didn't we hear something about that being the place to be at Midnight?
Am I the only pne that doesn't find this terribly exciting? Reggie handed out the first Wii is "meh"
I will surely be there. One of the above posters is correct – it's not yet confirmed as to where he will be. A NWS store rep mentioned to me that it is thought that Reggie will be at NWS where as Miyamoto may be at Toys R Us which is just a few blocks south west of NWS [in Time's Sq.]
Hey we could all do a sort of Infendo 'flashmob' thing.I'll do it for a free t-shirt 🙂
I preordered mine and I WILL be at the midnight launch…and AFAIK Nintendo World is NO LONGER taking preorders. I went 2 days ago to add more cash to my order and the guy there told me they weren't taking anymore.Also, I would kinds prefer to meet Miyamoto over Reggie. I haven't gotten a chance to meet any of them but I kinda prefer Miyamoto.
What if it was MIYAMOTO wearing a INFENDO shirt, giving out Wii's…To me.THAT would PWN.
