Was reading through Wikipedia and the confirmed launch titles for the Wii, and I stumbled across this as I was looking at the game Open Season

The Wii version of this title will supposedly be given away as a 'free game' for those in Australia who pre-ordered a Nintendo Wii at Toys "R" Us stores.

Anyone else got any news about this?

Wikipedia Link

yes it is true, it was pointed out in the original wii launch thread.

Oh righto, I must've missed it, and the search thread isn't working. Oh well

Huh? I thought this was only announced a few days ago, I don't remember any discussion about it.

You're wrong.

I pre ordered it from there 3 weeks ago :)

Is there a source for this information that is more reliable?

gay.

ok so the toys r us website has been updated with this:

Reserve your Nintendo Wii Family Pack today with a $50 deposit and receive a Zelda - Twilight Princess Game FREE at launch.
Zelda Family Pack includes:
- Wii Console
- 2 Wii Remotes
- Wii Console Bag
- 5 Games (including Zelda game)
PLUS $400 Worth of Gaming Savings Coupons!
Wii Launches December 7, 2006!

No mention of how much a "family pack" is though... or what the other 4 games are.

The other 4 games are probably just each separate game that's in Wii Sports...lame if it is

I gave them $50. How do i know if that's for the zelda family pack?

there is a story on www.aussie-nintendo.com about this, however if you read the forums, people have been contacting stores, some the Mt Gravatt garden city store and they still say you can get zelda.

nothing is concrete yet, but taht pack sounds like a pretty good deal there...

also, component cables will be 50 dollars at retail outlets (thank god) at launch for $50.

hmm, rather pay $600 and get the console with Zelda and the new Monkeyball, they're the only launch titles I'm currently interested in.

I was hoping they'd give away a gritty cyberpunk shooter.

nailbomb: ditto

Nailbomb: What about a second controller?

I've got gamecube contollers I can use in it if I need to, probably won't be in a rush to get a second wiimote controller straight away until I'm use to it / know it's worth spending the extra dosh on.

just remember zelda and monkey ball wont work with gamecube controllers :)

really? ah well, it doesn't matter too much. I'll have one of the wiimote's with the console and Zelda's a single player game anyway. Monkey ball, I can live without multiplayer for a bit.

who the f***s gonna by a something that sounds like your hanging a piss?


fuktards, just use your computer for real games. f*** that gay console s***

Apparently so many people the EB aren’t bothering to setup a pre-order deal because they have sufficient pre-orders already.
So many people that Amazon.com had to suspend pre-orders because of server overload.

What's wrong with hanging a piss? :(
