Wii spotted at a German TV show

The first Wii promotion we saw for the German market. This video was taken from a German TV show called "50 Jahre Bravo" and it showed Wii Tennis, one of the games for Wii Sports. A title where, utilizing the Wiimote, players must be able to execute the correct swing and stroke to send the ball flying beyond the net. The multiplayer mode of the game supports up to four players simultaneously which makes it an ideal family game.


The video was able to capture two men having a great time checking out the playable version of the Wii Tennis. In case you haven't noticed, the older guy is Peter Maffay, a German musician and actor. Looks like he is hooked to the console too! Both of the gentlemen commented that Wii Tennis is fun and is not a far cry from the real thing.

Germany and the rest of Europe will get their hands on Wii on December 9 this year for the price of 179 Euros (US $225). David Yarnton, Nintendo UK's General Manager has already spilled his thoughts on Wii's European pricing and release. In an interview, Yarnton said that by the time Wii was already released in European territories, there won't be shortages anymore as 4 million units will be sold all over the world after the initial release. Sound promising but let's keep our fingers crossed until then.
