Samurai-India to launch the Wii and the DS officially in India.

Both Microsoft and Sony have established their presence in India, but Nintendo was one developer/hardware manufacturer that always stayed away from this country. However, all that is about to change since Samurai-India, in partnership with HCL will be launching both the Wii and the DS officially in India by the end of this month.

Here’s the lowdown from our compadres at The Angry Pixel :
_
Samurai-India, in partnership with HCL, will be officially launching the Wii and DS on 30th September 2008. In fact, they have already unofficially started supplying the consoles to all the major electronic chains and it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing them on the store shelves. The Nintendo Wii will be priced at INR 19,990 while the Nintendo DS will be available for INR 7,990._

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
