Same reaction. Tested it out this afternoon. Really pretty interesting. The graphics were very good as well.

I received a call from Walmart - left a voicemail asking to confirm I still wanted my pre-order (online) and that if I did not call back in 24 hours my order could be cancelled (i used my debit card so there was plenty of funds to back it).

Revenge of the Target employees. I was at my Target at 8 this morning when it opened. I have been checking to see if they received the preorder cards for a week now. DCPI checker in store finally showed they were in. Went back to electornics and could not find them. Asked the guy behind the desk...

Anyone have any luck with this? When I try, it will not let me ship to the US.

I have received two pieces of the bundles I have ordered (Wii Plus remotes) and both were shipped fedex 2-3 day

I don't think you can take too much from the Wal-Mart shipping dates. For the two orders I placed today it indicates that they will arrive between 11/21 and 11/26. For the orders I placed on 10/14 it indicates they will arrive between 11/27 and 11/29.

the 5.5 was published by analysts after the Japanese fire which impacted Wii U production not nintendo. The original number was 7.3. Analysts are trying to determine where Nintendo's profits will come in. If they are going to miss their number, they will recommend shorting teh stock. If they...

I am not convinced that Walmart has any intention of fulfilling all of its online preorders. By bundling them, they sell off ancilary items. It would not surprise me if they start sending out the required 30 day "backordered e-mails" re the actual Wii U at or near the day of release. 5.5...

When I enter the DCPI it says "aile n/a" "storeroom: no" Anybody have any inclination as to whether or I missed the boat or if the store still has not received them?

no doubt. you young people with your rap music and your sardonic irreverence - sometimes it just right over this old man's head.

Man, as someone who had to sit outside a Target at 4 am with 100 other people three weeks before Christmas, I envy you. My Wal-Mart had no stock for months.

Isnt the 5-7 million figure the # analysts are using for worldwide availability, not US availability? Didnt they have to move the european date back because of lack of anticipated supply.

I believe there was a fire which destroyed their manufacturing plant in China.

I had an employee look up the DCPI and it showed No Stock at my Target. When I spoke with the electronics person he said that the stores that are getting stock on the 18th will get cards. Do not know if that means my store is not getting any stock or if the cards will be coming.

Mr. Pot, please meet Mr. Kettle. Maybe a site that calls itself "cheapassgamers" is not for you.
