The BestBuy I work at is getting 22 Wii U consoles total. 16 Deluxe and 6 Basic models. We only had about 5-6 pre-orders though since they cut them off pretty quickly. And only 2 of those pre-orders were from employees.

Do you happen to know anything about preorders that were done online for instore pickup? I'm guessing those are coming in another shipment that is separate from the instore inventory?

Me too!! Woo hoo. Now there is a Wii U literally with my name on it

Got an authorization charge from Kmart this morning for my preorder from 9/15. Really damn excited now

Don't know if this helps anyone but I just got off the phone with my Walmart manager. He informed me that all the layaway Wii Us have been placed aside for preorders and the allotment which wasn't preordered will be placed on the floor for selling. No midnight opening for layaway though. Pickup is Sunday from 9 to 9. His was in Ft Lauderdale, FL.

Was anyone else dumb awesome enough to order from TrU online? If so have you heard anything? Wondering if I'm going to actually get one or not. No pending charges or anything and it still allows me to cancel my order.

Another one for the stack. Very happy BB is actually shipping my system after the debacle with my in-store pickup order. (fraud alert on card triggered, BB gave me ONE HOUR on a Saturday morning to resolve it, needless to say, it all happened before I even woke up)

has anyone had any updates on those kmart orders from yesterday? mine still says processing.

I was dumb enough... now i am worried

i work at walmart, went to work last night and some dummies put out CODBOps 2 , Zombiu, pro controllers gamepad stand/cradle and the microphone, i had to quickly pull them from the shelf. but they are at walmart and werent vary many of them.

I ordered from TRU too. I'm not going to get worried till Monday. So I hope it all goes well. I did standard ship so even if they do ship it I won't get it until most likely the first week of December. O well at least I can stare at my copy of Zombie U and SMBU until then.

Just received my cancellation from KMart from Sept. 15. Said they could not verify my information. Oh lord, I feel bad for the people that have to deal with me today.

If I buy the Pro controller am I going to be able to just play Super Mario Bros. U with that? I am having a difficult time find this information.

no, it supports wiimote, wii motion plus(those wii motes with it in.. just what it says on the back on the box ), and gamepad only, sorry.

See the Wal-mart memo posted earlier in this thread. There are specific instructions for non-24 hour Wal-marts on how to do midnight releases if they want to.

Did anyone else order online with Target? My order still says it hasn't shipped, but expected delivery is Monday (paid for Premium). Getting a litle nervous..

My best buy is pretty similar.

12 deluxe, 8 basic.

Not sure on number of pre orders.

Just got a shipping notice for NSMBU but not the system from WalMart. :( Sitting the the Nov. 21-26 expected delivery range.

As far as the stock that they carry, yes, they are. They are a minimalist company, unlike Walmart which orders 120+ copies of Halo 4 and 400+ PS3/360 copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 PER STORE.
