The German Wii launch: Crazy

 Germans

have a funny way of doing things. Whether it be the way they talk (teehee) or the way they dress (teehee) or the way they dance (teehee), they always have to be a little above the norm. Such is the case with the Wii launch. Instead of a standard wait in line get a ticket approach, apparently this store in Germany decided to hold a contest: fastest people get their Wiis first. Check out the hysteria and mad dash in the video above. All thanks to our German broham Fana7ic for the video and pictures. We owe you a beer.

Check out one German’s tale after the jump. 

Fana7ic’s launch day:

So I was really excited about the Wii. I woke up at 5 am in the morning and took the bus at 6 am to the mall. I arrieved there at 7 am and none was there and I thought fuck I´m the only jerk here waiting for the Wii.

I found out that the Mall openes at 8.45 so I had quite some time to kill. Good thing I had my PSP with me. Yeah I take a Sony handheld to a release of a Nintendo console (because my Ds was out of energy this morning).

So i just sat there and play Burnout and killed time.

After some time and a breakfast at Mac Donalds ( including burning my tongue with damn hot coffe) I went into the Mall and there already sat some guys which somehow managed to make it in ftont of the electronics store before me probably because I stayed too long in Mac Donalds.
We talked a little bit and they were all cool.

Some of them did this the first time and some did this already a few time (one guy even got every Nintendo console at the 1st day). At 10 am they finally opened the gates and everybody ran like hell. I managed to score a Wii, Zelda and Redsteel (btw: Europe got a Wii Sports case too). After the running we exchanged Email adresses and went home.
