The Nintendo Wii is one of the most popular gaming consoles around. Since its release late last year, it has been incredibly hard to find and purchase one as each new shipment sells out almost immediately, the demand still outweighing the supply four months later. For those still without a Wii, finding a good source of information on the next major shipments and availability is key. These websites not only stay up to date on the latest in gaming news, but in availability of products as well.
Kotaku.com
As one of the most in depth and far reaching sources for immediate gaming news from across the internet, Kotaku.com is great because they’re essentially a blog. Instead of relying on established articles in an editorial cycle, Kotaku posts the news as they get it, and as it relates to gamers, without sponsor consideration. They often post news on shipments, given links to retailers’ shipment numbers, and offer advice on where to stand and how long to stand there when looking for the newest gaming sensation. Which means, for those willing to keep a close eye on their posts, you will occasionally find good tip offs to getting a Wii.
1up.com
While it essentially turns into a giant outlet for major magazines and reviews from other online gaming sources, 1up.com is a good source because it manages to draw in enough gamers into its community atmosphere so that information is readily available. Even if the editors and magazine articles posted don’t manage to tip you off as to where you should look, you can find a slew of fellow gamers and community members who do know. Community sites are one of your best sources for that reason. You’ll find gamers who work in electronics stores or gaming outlets and know when the next shipment will be in, and are all too happy to share with the world. Another great source is the forums at Gamefaqs.com or on any of the major online gaming magazines like IGN.
Gametab.com
Of course, if you don’t want to surf from site to site looking for news, you could just go to Gametab.com where the entirety of much of the internet’s gaming news is compiled every day in one very text heavy outlet for you to peruse. You never know where you’re going to find the information you’re looking for; it could be on the smallest gaming news website on the net, the one day you didn’t feel like checking that site, so Gametab is a great source for keeping up with all of them. With a full list of top stories, and recent news from the top 20 internet gaming sites on the front page, Gametab is an all encompassing resource.
The internet is a second news source for anything you could possibly want to find. If you’re looking for a specific piece of news, all you need to know is where to look to find it. These gaming sites are great resources to putting yourself at the front of the line when your local game store or electronics store gets in their next shipment of Nintendo Wiis. |
