The Nintendo Wii, whilst already quite established in many parts of the world, was only recently released here in South Africa, over the last December holiday season (2007).
A number of games were available to us consumers at launch, such as Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Spiderman 3, The Simpsons Game etc. However, many of the popular titles, like the much coveted (and highly anticipated) Super Mario Galaxy are nowhere to be found in popular tech retail stores.
The question I find myself, and other gamers, asking, is “where are the ‘real’ games?” Ok, so Zelda is a killer game… but we want Mario and Super Smash Bros. Brawl!!
So, I think it is quite clear amongst the gaming community of South Africa: if the Nintendo Wii is to gain any foothold (and by that, I mean a rather strong userbase), then the “big” titles need to be brought in, such that it is able to attract the vast userbase that Nintendo had hoped for (and, I must say, was quite successful at doing so).
I really want Brawl!! I think it’s a very nice game.
True… but I hope it comes to South Africa soon!!
