Wii Points cards are a no-go for Latin America
The good news: Wii channels will be available in Spanish. The better news? The only way to purchase Wii Points in Latin America will be via the Wii Shopping Channel -- they will not be available in stores. However, according to Melissa Wright, Nintendo's Manager of Sales and Marketing for Latin America, the reason for this decision is to keep consumers from paying higher prices. And despite the difference between console prices in the US and in Mexico, costs for points and Virtual Console games will be the same in both regions.

November 14th?? How is that possible? You´ll be getting it on the 19th like everyone else. I live in Mexico City and not even GamePlanet knows if they´ll give ´em on the 19th...
I think 14th was just a typo.
