Wii releases in Taiwan next month


Following its recent release to Korea, Nintendo has made an official announcement that the console will now also release in Taiwan. On July 12th, gamers will be able to nab a Wii of their very own. And, even better than the Japanese, their console will come bundled with Wii Sports.

Do you think sales will be as poor as Korea?

Hong Kong raid = success

During a court-ordered raid of Supreme Factory Limited facilities, over 10,00 game-copying devices and chips were seized. The whole seizure lasted three days, as Nintendo representatives seized devices used to copy DS titles from the internet and other devices that allow Wii game discs to be copied. On top of the equipment, there was also massive documentation of ties with a French company, explaining the scope of this illegal operation.

"Piracy affects the entire video game industry, from large companies to independent developers," says Jodi Daugherty, Nintendo of America's senior director for anti-piracy. She goes on further to say "It can destroy years of hard work by a team of very talented software developers, who strive to create games consumers enjoy playing. Copying the developers' work and spreading the game files globally is blatant stealing."

Nintendo to use GCA to launch Wii in Singapore


As if there weren't enough gaming shows going on this time of year, Nintendo has signed on with a new one. At Games Convention Asia, Nintendo distributor MAxSoft will be launching the Wii in that territory. So, gamers over there will finally be able to see what all of the fuss is about and get their hands on the actual system.

If E306 was any indication, just about everyone there who tries the system is going to fall in love with it.

Get RE4 only two years late, instead of two years and two weeks

Shoot it OMFGDoes your hunger rival that of the undead horde? Grab a Snickers. If that's the case, you'd probably be interested to know that the extremely anxious will (probably) be able to obtain the Wii version of the much-lauded Resident Evil 4 several weeks early, via the import site Play-Asia. Sure, it'll cost you twenty dollars more than the standard U.S. price of $29.99, and it'll probably highlight your incredible lack of patience and discipline, but those pale in comparison to the two weeks of additional ecstasy.

This is not officially confirmed, so you might want to check back at their product page for updates if interested. If you do happen to obtain the game early ... or if you're reading this article from the far-flung future, in which RE4 has already undergone standard release, feel free to post your impressions.

Watch movies on your Wii!
