Take total control with Football (Soccer) Director DS

London, UK – 28 November 2008 – Football Director DS, the first football management game for the hugely popular Nintendo DS™, is now available in all major high street retail outlets. Released by the leading UK distributor Pinnacle Entertainment, and officially licensed by the Football League, Football Director DS was designed by football management guru Roger Womack.

Football Director DS allows users to take total control over each of the 92 English & Welsh Football League and Premier League teams. The game has an intuitive, stylus-driven interface, packed with plenty of tactical and strategic depth but is still easy to pick up and play. It’s a terrific game for commuters as it can be played on the move, in five-minute chunks and over longer, season conquering sessions. Football Director DS is ideal for any football fan and will make a great gift or Christmas stocking filler.

Wii-consoles.co.uk gives shoppers the edge in finding Nintendo Wii Fit in stock

November 27, 2008 – Nintendo Wii Fit is still flying off the shelves, with even the major retailers running out of stock in a matter of minutes. But savvy shoppers searching for this must have game can avoid the scramble thanks to real time stock alert website, Wii-consoles.co.uk, which checks supplier websites in real-time to find out when and where the latest stock can be had.

Wii Fit has been in very short supply since its release in April 2008. This stock shortage mirrors the same stock supply issue that Nintendo had with their Wii games console earlier this year.

Darren Mckillop, Wii-consoles.co.uk webmaster, says: “The Wii Fit stock issues we’re seeing now are even worse than the Wii console stock issues we saw last Xmas. Wii Fit has been hard to buy for almost 8 months now and I’m not aware of any gaming product that has ever been in short supply for this length of time. With Xmas approaching again I can see this game being out of stock for another 2 months at least”
