Nintendo fans in South Africa, it’s time to get extra eager because Core Gaming (South African distributors of Nintendo games and consoles) has today confirmed dates and prices for a host of upcoming 3DS, DS and Wii titles in the country, with dates announced for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Mario Kart 7 and Kirby Mass Attack, amongst others.
We’ve also recently received word about the impressive list of Nintendo 3DS games that will be on show at rAge 2011 this week!
The distributors of Wii in South Africa - Core Gaming - today announced that a new Wii bundle will be available at retailers this spring. The bundle will include the newly redesigned Wii which is slightly streamlined and built to sit horizontally like the Wii U rather than stand vertically like previous models. Unfortunately the redesigned Wii is no longer backwards compatible with GameCube software.
Last week it was announced that Nintendo’s 3DS would see a considerable price drop in the coming weeks in order to spur unit sales of the handheld ahead of this year’s important November/December ‘Holiday’ period.
Why November/December?
This is generally when the videogame industry enjoys record sales across hardware, software and accessories market sectors, so it would be wise of Nintendo to capitalise on this period by ensuring as many of its consoles are out in the wild at that time to stimulate software sales, while simultaneously keeping the handheld’s price competitive when it comes time to choose end-of-year gifts.
Core Gaming, official distributor of Nintendo in South Africa, is searching for a family of Nintendo fanatics to star in its next South African TV commercial, and you and your kin have a chance to be chosen!
The Pokémon Trading Card Game from The Pokémon Company is set to receive a brand new injection of excitement in South Africa very soon with the release of Pokémon Trading Card Game: Black & White, a new expansion for the popular TCG.
Following the recent announcement of a special range of price-reduced Wii games in the US and Europe, as well as prices cuts for the Wii itself, official distributor of Nintendo in South Africa, Core Gaming, has announced that these titles will also be making their way into the country under the ‘Nintendo Selects’ label, while South Africa will benefit from Wii bundle price cuts, too.
And what’s better is that all of these offers will become available to South African consumers at the same time as our UK counterparts!
Core Gaming (official Nintendo distributor in South Africa) has today confirmed a late June release date for Wii Play: Motion, the follow-up to Nintendo’s wildly successful (million-selling) Wii Play, while revealing that the game will come bundled with a red Wii Remote Plus.
With all of these new competitions springing up on El33tonline, it’s finally come time to announce who won copies of Mario Sports Mix for Nintendo Wii!
Mario Sports Mix is the latest party game from Nintendo proper, with an awesome sports theme that sees everybody’s favourite characters from the Mushroom Kingdom competing in Basketball, Volleyball, Hockey and Dodgeball, but because this is a Mario game each of these sports has a unique twist to keep things interesting, and each character has their own special ability to spice up the action!
We asked you which sport you were most looking forward to play in the game, and you sure did answer! So… who won copies of Mario Sports Mix?
Core Gaming recently hosted a highly impressive pre-launch party for the Nintendo 3DS in Johannesburg, South Africa and El33tonline was in attendance to catch every minute of the extravaganza! (Read and see what happened at the event with our report over here.)
While we definitely learned a lot more about the 3DS itself, and having the opportunity to play roughly a dozen 3DS-specific games over the course of the evening was a real treat, one of the highlights of the party were the awesome acts and routines performed by professional dancers and entertainers – incredible displays that demonstrated just what the human body is capable of if it’s pushed to the limit.
At a lavishly-produced event in the evening of March 3rd at Monte Casino in Johannesburg, South Africa, invited guests from across the country gathered to celebrate the upcoming launch of the Nintendo 3DS on March 25th.
Hosted by Core Gaming (official distributors of Nintendo in South Africa), not only were we treated to a stylish party and incredible entertainment, but we were also presented with a host of fantastic information on the 3DS itself, culminating in the opportunity to go hands-on with a dozen 3DS games throughout the evening.
At a lavish pre-launch party hosted by Core Gaming last night at Monte Casino in Johannesburg, South Africa, and in amongst the remarkable circus performances, pumping music, intricate decorations and flashing lights, a swathe of details spilled forth on the Nintendo 3DS, including an official, final price point for the handheld console in South Africa.
