Gaming Aussie Wii's to get proper Wii sports case!

[Opium]

Thank you Nintendo Australia!

When the Wii is released here on December 7th we get our Wii Sports in a proper Wii game case, not to mention our wiimotes and nunchucks don't come in blister packs!

Perhaps Europe will also get a proper case too?

So thats why the Australian Wii costs more than the American one!

Haha, he's right...

I wouldn't pay $55 US more for some fancier packaging...

I live in Canada, our USD equivalent Wii price is actually lower than the US MSRP

$245 US roughly - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii

Yeah it's a launch title.

Ah, good news. Only a bit more then a week now, can hardly wait.

 

[lexus-8]

hey do you think the uk version will be like that ?

 

[time-warp]

This is great news, I happen to land in Melbourne for launch.
Great to see Wii Sports in a case, much more official looking and now looks like an actual retail game, not a demo.
Our packaging is way better than the US (those blister packs are cheap, and you know it), I wonder if JP differs from US or AU.

Well, Nintendo sure knows how to suck up to you guys since you're getting Wii so late... I'll tell ya that

 

[lookout]

I hope this also for euro!

here is a question regarding region encoding. do we aussies get our own region code or are we using the same as US?

I want to know cause I can buy games in HK and bring it back.
Go HK for getting both US and JP versions of Wii.

You are usually PAL the same as Europe.

You are usually PAL the same as Europe.

That's not a region code, that's a video picture format...

Most of Europe is Region 2, and Australia is Region 4, I believe... That's what he meant.

Many retail discs (DVDs, games) are region-locked so people are deterred from importing overseas discs.

In response to your question, kelvinate... I'm not 100% sure on that, but it's a safe bet that your Wii discs will be region 4 and not region 1
