Nintendo U.S. boss Reggie Fils-Aime will be handing out the first Wii units at midnight on November 19.
In an interview with ABC he said he plans to be in New York City for the big opening, handing over the first bought units to eager consumers. It's likely he'll be at the Nintendo World store.
In the interview, Fils-Aime tracked through the familiar Wii litany of a) this console is different and b) it's for hardcore consumers as well as new consumers and c) the controller is easy to use and lotsa fun.

The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
