Nintendork Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Wii kiicks off in the UK on November 10th running right through to January 13th. 10 - 12 November Toys 4 Big Boys, Dublin Good Food Show, London 15 November Birmingham University Glasgow University 16 - 18 November Bluewater Shopping Centre, Kent Buchanan Galleries, Glasgow Bullring, Birmingham Churchill Square, Brighton 22 - 26 November Good Food Show, Birmingham NEC 23 - 25 November Lakeside, Essex 24 - 26 November UK Golf Show, Birmingham NEC 29 November Sheffield University Bristol University 30 November - 2 December Meadowhall, Sheffield Cribbs Causeway, Bristol The Oracle, Reading 1 - 6 December Clothes Show Live 2006, Birmingham NEC 4-10 December Luton Airport Gatwick Airport 6 December Manchester University UCD, Dublin University 7 - 9 December Arndale Centre, Manchester 7 - 10 December Liffey Valley, Dublin 11 - 17th December Gatwick South Stanstead Airport 13 December Trinity College Dublin 14 - 17 December The Mall Arndale, Luton 18 - 24 December Centre MK, Milton Keynes 22 - 24 December Irn Bru Carnival, Glasgow SECC More dates will be revealed soon. See you at Lakeside, Zelda and WarioWare are confirmed.. don't get your hopes up for anything more than what the rest of the world has had thus far though. I'm taking this as an indication that they won't be rolling out units in stores in the UK.. but I'm a pessimist. Apparently the events are being kitted out like 'ordinary' households.. you will see beds and sofas.
Dog-amoto Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Too bad it only comes near me 2 days before launch. No point in going really
triforce_keeper Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Might be going to bullring to get a go
The3rdChildren Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Good Food Show is like £30 admittance. Dunno if I can justify that. Way to spread the word Nintendo.

Nintendork Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 Just Googled the journey from Colchester to Thurrock (where lakeside is) I can't believe it's 2 hours. I'm probably not going unless I still haven't got a job.
ViPeR Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Hah, the south-west of England appears to have dissapeared into the ocean...
flameboy Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 If anyone is thinking of going to the sheffield university one PM me, we could meet up and go, maybe do some camera phone previews of the games?
AshMat Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I mgiht go to the Meadowhell one, dunno if i can be arsed though.
Din Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Hah, the south-west of England appears to have dissapeared into the ocean... Also the North East... Why no Newcastle??
Ten10 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Aww man Milton Keynes always gets these things way after launch.
Ash Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Just Googled the journey from Colchester to Thurrock (where lakeside is) I can't believe it's 2 hours. I'm probably not going unless I still haven't got a job. Very Near me, i am in Maldon, last time i went there it took like 1 and half hours. I dont trust google directions it said that it would take over an hour from maldon to Colchester uni, i use local.live.
Cube Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I mgiht go to the Meadowhell one, dunno if i can be arsed though. I'll be at that one on the saturday, and the Uni of Sheffield on Wednesday.
Guest Stefkov Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I might go to the Manchester one. a day before its released isnt great. But it gives people a chance to give it a go then go into the Arndale and buy it. Might take some friends to have a go. Hope the queses arent massive though.
flameboy Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I'll be at that one on the saturday, and the Uni of Sheffield on Wednesday. I'm definitly going to the university one on weds, i'll be on work on saturday, unless i could play on company time lol.

Sooj Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Well I shall see whoever is gong to the Buchanan Galleries, Glasgow - 16th-18th November, any of the days. Should be worth it although need to be there very early to get a chance on zelda
killthenet Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Some of my gay ass friends said they played it yesterday in Birmingham. I gleefully informed them that the tour would not reach the Bullring for another 11 days. They shut their lying traps after that smug outburst.

Charlie Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 What time do these events start at? I want t oget there very early on the 18th (Buchannan Galeries) so I can get some decent playtime on all the games. Has the games list been confirmed yet?
weeyellowbloke Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Booo, why when it comes to Birmingham I'm on a field trip, *grumble* bloody field trips.... always get in the way.

martinist Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 the only scottish venue i can see is glasgow uni, nowhere near dumfries
ViPeR Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Also the North East... Why no Newcastle?? Oh well, December the 8th for us then. Might be better to have your first experience in the comfort of your house rather than 5 minutes in a bustling store.
Ellmeister Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 im up for bluewater or lakeside... but seems like they on saturday and im working :[ i might pull a sicky! i hope my boss doesn't read this.
