Nintendo America has just announced they have selected GameStop and Toys “R” Us for the official launch of their new Wii game console on November 19th @ midnight. Terms of the partnership were not released, but we’re expecting the two store chains to have a ton more Wii supply and accessories than that of other retails store (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.).
The official launch events will be held at Toys “R” Us’ flagship Time Square store in NY, NY, as well as GameStop’s Universal CityWalk store in LA, CA. The events will include live entertainment and a slim chance for walking out of there with a Wii. If this is anything like the Xbox 360 launch last year, you’re better off going to a low-key Target or Wal-Mart for this one.
