Anyone else who ordered from Walmart.com have a bad feeling? I just don't trust those backwards inbreeds.

I'm somewhat comfortable with them, since they are used to dealing high volume, and have been through many product launches.

But just incase, I also preordered elsewhere. I always try to have a backup plan for potential issues.

Maybe you should keep calling them. Over and over and over again. I'm sure they love answering daily phone calls asking if their Wii-U preorders are still good.

That's because Nuketown 2025 isn't in the Wii-U version.

Until they just removed it (and I mean just removed it), amazon was stating the Wii U version came with Nuketown 2025 (so was Activision's preorder website for the game).

No I don't have a system to play it on yet, I'll be pickiing it up a week from Sunday, but being told I would get the map for preordering then not getting it does cheese me off.

Email from Amazon:

Greetings from *Name removed to protect the innocent* at Amazon.com,

Hi Major Scud, I am very sorry about the missing code for the 2025 Nuketown map that wasn't in your video game as originally stated on the website. I can see that the information for the Nintendo Wii U does reflect the code does come with the purchase but no longer is stating it comes in the box.

I suspect that due to some error, that this code wasn't put in the game box for the Wii U platform and that our marketing department is going to be issuing the code for each order of this game for the Wii U platform.

As the previous associate indicated, we know we haven't yet resolved the issue, but we have taken the correct steps to submit the information to our marketing team so they can investigate and get you a code to access this 2025 Nuketown Map.

I look forward to getting back with you on Monday, November 12, 2012 with an update and hopefully by then you will have already received the code, but it does take 1-2 business days usually, which doesn't include weekends, so it might take a little longer. We will discuss the options and what I can find out between now and then.

I greatly appreciate your patience and want to thank you for shopping at Amazon.com.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Were Wiimotes hard to find when the Wii launched? I'm wondering if Wii U Pro Controller will be easy to grab on launch day.

Can preorders made instore be paid off at Best buy prior to pickup?

Friend of Sonic, yes they can.

Worth $5~10 maximum for me. Fun game though.

Yes, they were a bitch to find until the next spring/summer IIRC. I don't think demand for the Pro controllers will be THAT big but I wouldn't get my hopes up about strolling out with one on launch day.

If you really push it, you might get a 10$ promotional code from amazon.

Or they may tell you that the publisher made the change not them, and you need to take it up with them.

Quite hard, I just preordered 2 pros at GS
$5 down each

So this is going to sound really stupid at this point but thinking of pulling trigger on a Wii U. Didn't think I'd have any money but now can swing it. Does Wal-Mart still accept pre-orders in store? I figure that's the only hope at this point.

Revelation a month too late...I think your best bet is Walmart, I would head there in person tho...could check out a local target and see if they have any reserve cards left.

Wal-Mart Pre-Order offer is dead.

I dropped by today to attempt to pre-order a Wii U for launch, and while the lady behind the counter said she was expecting 18 units for launch and they only had 3 existing pre-orders, the SKU/UPC she tried to scan in the pre-order process was refused by the computer, so it looks like it's been disabled.

Now I just need to try to find out how midnight launches will work...will there be a specific place to line up or will it just be a mad dash to the counter at midnight?

I tried at my local WalMarts and was told they stopped taking pre-orders Nov 1st. They all had the same story, but said they would have more than what was pre-ordered. Target sounds like it's been a pretty good deal for a few people here. Mine haven't had the pre-order cards in awhile now, though. Good luck.

The EB where I pre-ordered at doesn't plan to do a midnight launch or open early Sunday at this time...Really thinking of taking all but the $150 of store credit off my pre-order early morning on the 17th and going to try my luck at my local Best Buy's midnight launch.
