Nintendo Updates Online Store

by Rob Galbreath (2006-11-19)

In light of the North American release of the Wii, Nintendo.com updated their official store page for accessories and controllers.

In addition to the equipment found in every Wii package, Nintendo has included wired LAN adaptors, classic controllers and component cables to the store. Due to restricted release of accessories across North America, many gamers could not buy these parts without preorders.

The LAN adaptor retails for $24.99, the classic controller for $19.99 and the component cables for $29.95.

The Wiire reported back in October that the component cables would be sold online as well as in select stores, but the supplies ran out soon after their release.  At the time of publish, Nintendo noted that "our initial allotment of the Wii Component Video Cables has been depleted. We expect to begin shipping again the week of November 28, 2006. The Wii Component Video Cable will also be available at select retail stores (Best Buy, GameStop, Circuit City) in early/mid December."

Though preorders for the LAN adaptor are available now, Nintendo does not expect to ship them until early January 2007.

Check availability at the Nintendo Online Store here.  The Wiire will keep you updated on the items you want for the Wii.
