Nintendo in NZ is in jeopardy - Softprint Interactive in receivership
This is the key reason why NZ hasn't got Mario Kart for Wii officially through other channels and retails other than EB stores. This could also mean all future Nintento Wii and DS titles are in big shakeup until Nintendo can find a new distributor or set up their presence in NZ (or, have an Nintendo Australia set up an office in NZ).
The titles that I am/was looking forward to are Mario Kart for Wii, Super Smashing Brawl, Guitar Hero On Tour etc...

I ordered a Wii thru Noel Leeming on about the 25th May, and now GOD only knows when it'll arrive :(
Worst of all.. I financed it - and the company lodged the finance the same day I ordered it, despite me only taking possession of $200 worth of the $1000 purchase!!

Good - hopefully a competent distributor takes its place. We've been screwed over on Nintendo prices for too long. $100 for a WiiMote? Fun. You can order the same thing from Japan for ~$58.
