A guy had them in Yongsan yesterday (I-park Mall 7th floor). But the mark-up was pretty steep. 500,000 won. And it was Japanese. Unless I'm mistaken, this means you can only play Japanese games. In Japanese! I was quite surprised when I saw it though. In fact, I was so surprised, I nearly wii'd myself.   
Sorry. I promise that will be my one and only Wii pun. Ever. |

I htink in the US the retail price of the WII is $250.00
Looks like there is alot of work involved - in leiu of just sitting there with a controller in your hand in the recliner... |

| I saw it for 400 at Yongsan in the first floor of the building at the end of the green overhead tunnel (going away from Yongsan St.) and 70 each game. They only have the Japanese version available. However, Nintendo has made region locks optional and all First party Nintendo games from any region (Zelda, Mario, Smash bros., etc) will work on any region hardware. (don't have the link, but you can google it.) |

Unless you really love Zelda but playing it righthanded there is nothing worth buying at launch. Every other game is garbage or available on PS2. So unless you really need to play Zelda with the wiimote its not even worth $250+50. Heck I think I'm just going to get the Gamecube Zelda TP as its only $38.
If there are suckers paying 500k won well have fun with some really bad 1st generation games. |

You play Zelda with both hands.
As for the launch line-up, it's not brilliant is it! Definitely worth waiting for the price to fall. The great news is that with this much interest, a lot more developers will be on-board, actually making games for this system. |

Srry, I guess you are not a big Zelda fan. Anyways the big controversy is that in the wii version Link is "right"-handed to accommodate the 90% right-handed population. Its a pretty big deal among Zelda purists as Link has always been lefthanded to mirror the creator, Shigeru Miyamoto's sinister form. |
