Korea getting its Wii on April 26
The official
Nintendo Korea site states the country will join the chorus of global Wii worship on April 26, 2008 for 220,000 won ($225 USD). The console will launch with eight titles, including
Wii Sports (not included in box),
Wii Play -- one of the
best selling pieces of "software" in the US -- and puzzle adventure game
Zack & Wiki.
The launch happens a little over a week before Children's Day, a
popular gift-giving holiday in the country. We'll have to wait and see if the Wii can pull Koreans
away from their computer screens -- and
Starcraft -- long enough to try out some console gaming.
