For our last part of our Australian Wii Coverage, we have a look at IGN's review!

Sydney might have had an understated launch, but Melbournians were able to welcome in the age of Wii in grand form. On the stroke of midnight, last night, hundreds of retailers opened their doors and thousands of fans across Australia got their hands on Wii.

The event had DJs, costume competitions and a pumping atmosphere that helped pass the hours for hundreds of eager fans.

According to Vispi Bhopti of Nintendo Australia, all indications seem to suggest that the record for the biggest week one launch of a new console is within sight. Initial feedback from retailers has confirmed that a number of stores are already sold-out.

Neil Merola, Business Manager, Myer Electrical, has described this mornings consumer response to the Wii launch as "unprecedented and unbelievable". Confirming that "hundreds of people queued outside our stores across Australia before doors even opened, to be amongst the first to purchase Wii".

Getting ready to descend on the registers like a Mongol invasion.

The devoted, most of whom likely preordered their Wiis.
