We've known for a while now that Nintendo was planning to bring the Wii to PC-gaming mecca South Korea some time this year, but recent word has it that the system may be hitting the country's shores sooner than later. The Korea Times is reporting that Nintendo and Activision recently registered two Wii games each with Korea's Game Rating Board. The paper speculates this move means Nintendo Korea is looking to launch by Children's Day on May 5, a popular gift-giving holiday in the country. Though there's no official announcement from Nintendo, we can't think of a better holiday to launch for a system known for kid-friendly games like Super Mario Galaxy and Resident Evil 4.

 

 

May is going to be quite interesting for Nintendo if this is true. Wii Fit, Wii Ware, coming off the heels of Mario Kart...looks like Gamestop may be on to something about Wiis being out of stock for six more months.

I've never heard Resident Evil 4 described as a kid's game.

It's called Joystiq charm.  They think they are funny and forget that we don't go there for the writing, but just the facts.
