WII HAVE LIFT OFF
Nintendo took over HMV’s flagship Oxford Street branch for the official launch of the Wii U last week. The first person in the queue, Izzy Rahman, was camping outside with his friends for a week, keeping themselves sane with Mario Kart 7 tournaments. Mario and Luigi greeted the crowds on the night, posing for photos with passers-by. Also in attendance were zombies, Just Dance neon dancers and Assassin’s Creed’s Connor. Official Nintendo Magazineeditor Chandra Nair took to the stage to show off some of the different multiplayer games available on Wii U, and there was even a raffle with some collectible gaming goodies up for grabs.
