Bush985 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 So I guess my ultimate question is...When do YOU think the next shipment of Wii's will be? Or atleast the next time they will be availible? I've heard next week, two weeks. Or the week before christmas. I forgot how late it is into November already. Hmmm. 4 Million by the end of the year is A LOT! The store I was at today said they were expecting more in tomorrow. They had about 53 units. They should be coming in almost weekly I'd assume. Then again, I'm not working best Buy this year. I'll keep my ears glued. -RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 ^ Weekly actually sounds reasonable. Nintendo has always been very good at keeping up with sales. I can't ever remember there not being a Game Cube or DS on the shelves at Target. As for Wi-fi, I'm looking forward to 24/7 NINTENDO USB CONNECTOR SUPPORT - W00T! This little guy is gonna kick it into HIGH GEAR come next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Gumball Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I finally figured out about the Monkey Cradle thing...Slashing the wood sword's pretty fun as well. Now, my friend's wanting to come over and check out the Wii. And I'm still pretty tired from being up over 24 hours...Technically, I wasn't asleep at the campout though my eyes were closed for 30 mins...I still heard laughter, my iPod that lasted all night/morning, and random "The Wii!!!" shout-outs by a random fellow camper mostlikely on something or overly excited.

NoahTheBoa Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Did anybody get Madden for the Wii? How's the gameplay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 ^But the updates took SOOOOO LONG!!! ~Mike It only took about a minute each for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliriumTrigger Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Mine were incredibly long as well. And that's if they actually worked, they died due to error several times. But I'm sure it was due to the huge number of Wiis trying to connect/download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Congratulations Robb on your purchase, i'm sure your have great evenings playing Wii Sports with your family and friends. Have you connected it up to the Internet yet and bought any "Old Skool" games..? I've been checking the Video reviews etc on "Gamespot", the Wii does not come out in the UK till 8th Dec. It does look a cool (different colours and DVD drive next please Nintendo) system which is so flexable. How can the DS Lite be connected to the Wii as I bought "Lite" today...?

Florida420 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Still no Wii for me. I still have 31 coming, I just don't know when. I hope they come in tomorrow, if not I will have a long and boring weekend. P All " I just should have waited the 7 hours" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragoncoaster1292 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 ^Same for me. I have been searching every Best Buy, Circut City, Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, EB Games and GameStop on Long Island for it, and nothing has worked! I guess I'll have to wait for second wave, or buy one from one of those scalpers on eBay, which is never going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanatix Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have been trying to find a wii. I call around to the stores everyday. The Ebgames and gamestop are getting/already have wiis. They are just holding on to them until Friday and sell them during Black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primogen18 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I'm planning on going to my local gamestop at 5:30 AM on friday for my Wii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I dunno why, but I'm waiting until 2007 to get my Wii. 1. DVD Wii, possibility (or maybe it has been confirmed) of a new Wii with a built in DVD player since Nintendo said "it takes more than a firmware update to add a DVD player". 2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I just got from my local Gamestop. I played the Wii. I have to say, with the game I played (excite truck) it totally let me down. But, I know Metroid 3, Mario Galaxy, and Brawl are going to be amazing so m waiting until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacking Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I'm not impressed by Excite Truck either, but the system is fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawl. The DVD Wii has been confirmed by Nintendo as coming to the USA and Japan in Jan. or Feb. They did the smart thing and sent out a press release a week before the Wii hit the streets so that people couldn't complain that Nintnedo was releasing a better version just months after the initial release.

okinawaboy11 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yes. 30. My boss came into work today. fresh with a PS3. I said where the HELL did you get that?! He yells at me for "cussing" (Since when was hell a cuss word? anywho) in front of customers. And then he replies. Best buy had 30. Now they have none.

fanatix Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Best buy is also supposedly holding all of the wiis that they are getting for friday. Something to do with they have to have a certain number of the system so they can advertise in the adds that they have it. So they have been holding onto the system for friday.

That's what I'm hoping. I'm heading down nice and early tomorrow. Then that will be the only shopping I do on Black Friday. Yay for you Canadians. Atleast you get it confirmed that more will be there tomorrow. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid= 1164235812728&call_pageid=968350130169&col=969483202845 It's super big, so combind it to get the correct link.
