Nintendo Has a New Distributor for South Africa – Wii on its Way!

Posted on Thursday, September 6th, 2007. Filed under Gaming, Technology.

Nintendo Wii - Headed for SA!Nintendo today announced that it has appointed the Core group as official distributors for Nintendo products in South Africa. The Core group also holds South African representation for Tomtom GPS products and Apple IMC – the official distributor for Apple in South Africa.

“We are delighted to be working in conjunction with a company of Core Group’s experience and stature to distribute our products to this region,” says Laurent Fischer, Managing Director of European Marketing and PR for Nintendo. “Southern Africa is a rapid growth market and with increasing competition it is vital for our products to maintain a high level of visibility there.”

That means that South Africa will be getting the Wii gaming console soon. While there is a world-wide shortage of the console, which is kicking the PS3′s ass in America, we might even be lucky enough to get it by Christmas 2007…

  • Wow, I had no idea that the Wii was not distributed world wide yet. I thought being in the States we were usually the last ones to get anything cool. Europe and Japan always seem to have the best electronics gadgets before everyone else.
