Unless tons of people are showing up to beg for a console or something, I dont see why it would be THAT long, not like its gonna be like a CoD or Halo release with hundreds of people in line

I just hope I get there before the 1 kid who ALWAYS has to come to a release with a duffel bag full of games that he needs to trade in all from 2 generations ago. Theres always one...

After the success of the wii. I doubt there will be shortage of wii u. Nintendo is just trying to create a sense of shortage to hype the market more, get as much as preorders for it. Considering its releasing the console at christmas time, why would nintendo want to lose out on all those the potential sales.

i work at shopko and we are getting 10 systems on sunday check shopko if you live in a city with one

Here's to being on the cancellation list! Hopefully someone *forgets* to pick their's up :P

It doesn't seem like they are going to have any for launch next week. I actually chatted with Redbox support a few weeks ago to ask about their plans for Wii U and the CS Rep. said there wasn't any information about it. On their coming soon list they do not have any Wii U games listed either.

I was sort of hoping they would have some as I wanted to at least rent New Super Mario Bros. U for Sunday. Can't believe I'm actually wishing there was a place to rent games...

My Best Buy under ordered on Pre-orders. Took 25 Deluxe and said they should have 50 or so total,

My BB still doesn't know how many they'll be getting, but they didn't sell very many preorders according to CS and the Gaming Department supervisor. They say they aren't in an area where it will be really popular. I'll be going in sometime this week to chat them up some more and make sure I've got that one in the bag. I'll be looking for numbers when I do.

My BB says they only got 6 preorders and they will be set aside ahead of time. Glad I don't have to sit outside in the cold all night...

Only $12 off pre-orders with free shipping on Newegg. They have had that sale going on almost every week at some point

Nope. Probably early to mid 2013.

Anybody think Target will have a midnight opening for Wii U since they are doing it for Call of Duty?

how critical is motion plus when using the wii remote

i still have the original wii remote from my launch unit and am wondering if its worth getting motion plus since i do plan to pick up alot of wii games to play on wii u once they phase them out
