i went into a local gamestop and they said their still hard to get and they get a shipment of a couple once a week and they are sold out instantly! i checked bestbuy.com and circuitcity.com and both are out of stock! gamestop.com has a bundle thats like 500$ that will ship ship on 4/18 but it has stuff i dont really want. im not a in hurry and woudnt mind getting it like a month from now, but knowing their still hard to find, whats the best way to get it? I dont have time to camp out in front of gamestop.
 
There's a store in Chicago that always has them it seems.. the 3 times I've been there in the last 2 months they've always had one or two in stock.
 
Local Best Buy had 85 yesterday.

Looked in local Best Buy circular on Saturday morning, Wii is listed. Go to Best Buy 2 hours before open and get a ticket, and subsequent basket to place Wii in(and any games/accessories). Come back 2 hours later when open, proceed to checkout, give cashier ticket, buy Wii. Own Wii.

Bought 3 Wiis in the last 3 weeks, all in store. Gamestopx2, Best Buyx1.

And no I don't resell them. I'm just nice to future in-laws, friends, etc.

I also believe perhaps stupidly that many retailers had more Wiis this weekend/week to coincide with the Smash Bros release... so keep checking this week!

Around here you go into a store and you can't even get a complete question out of your mouth before you get shot down..

Me: "I have a question for you.."
Person behind the counter: "We don't have any Wii's"
 
I haunted game stores, Targets, Best Buys, etc. I found one in North Carolina (I live in Maryland).

Keep looking, stay determined. Or you could just pay eBay prices if you don't want to be bothered.
 
well like i said im not in a hurry and dont have time to go shopping for it, any place i can preorder it online? preferably just the console.
 
Took me 3 months to luckily get mine from Sears.com. Since then, I've seen it in stock multiple times at the Target near me.

Great, so the only game worth playing on the wii is an N64 game that you have to own GC controllers to play.
 
Does anyone else think Nintendo has milked this Wii shortage bullshit long enough? Come on it's been 1.5 years since the first release and they still can't make enough to fill stores? At least be honest and say it's a stupid marketing gimmick to raise demand.

I only bought xbox for halo, so buying wii for brawl isn't a giant stretch for me. But then again, I have 4 wavebirds from my SSBM days

of course, the wifey would love a wii.

That's not what Platypus said, and is just your opinion. Which sucks, IMO 😉

I kinda assumed Platypus was referring to the new Smash Bros for the Wii that came out this weekend... but shit I could be wrong.
