Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Did you pre-order YOUR Wii today?

Hmm anyone know if the Wii will probably be sold out Day 1? Or will there be tons of copies for everyone? I didn't get to pre-order it.
 
If it isn't sold out day one, I question the sanity of video game players. Wait until spring; there'll be plenty by then.
 
1 million at launch. That's a lot to sell. I believe it will practically sell out. That is, it will sell out in most places. Good luck! :D

There won't be any left, because I'm a fan boy and I'm gonna by them all :)
 
Is that 1 million worldwide, or 1 million US? There's a huge difference between the two...

REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 1, 2006 - Nintendo is mobilizing the largest worldwide video game console launch in at least a decade, with approximately 4 million Wii™ systems available globally during the six weeks between Wii's Nov. 19 launch in the Americas and the end of 2006. Although the largest share of that worldwide allotment will go to the Americas, Nintendo expects supply will be outpaced by demand, based on retailer orders, intense consumer requests and placement on numerous "gotta have it" holiday lists.

Here's the link

As you can see, the majority are coming to the Americas, so I've been hearing 1 million on day one.
 
Erm... This is a bit old, but, I just thought I'd like to point out that the Wii launch is EXACTLY like the PS3 launch, just because you preordered doesn't mean you're going to get one at launch. It's always been like that for every console that's ever been released. This just means that you're whatever position in line to get them when they do come in. The difference here is stores are getting 8 PS3s, while each store is also getting 15 Wiis.

GameStop and EBGames were supposed to only allow limited pre-orders. Up to the number they'd be getting in. I called a few stores that day and I was told by most of them that they were out of pre-orders already. So, unless there is somehow less Wiis available than promised (coughPS3cough) anyone who pre-ordered one should get one from what I hear.
 
They SHOULD, because they're only allowing as many preorders as they're planning on getting, but if something happens that you don't, EB won't go out of its way to ensure you get one on launch day, because that's not what the console preorder technically entitles you to. That was my point, is all, probably should have clarified.
 
That wii points system is kinda a ripoff. $20 for 2000 points. 1000 points for an N64 game, so $10 for an N64 game. You could prolly pick up N64 games for a buck off the street.

Depends on the rarity of the game. SM64 you could easily find for $7, but Kirby 64, which is on the rarer side of the scale, would never be found at $10.
 
I just wanna play the original Final Fantasy games. Not the DS and GBA remakes, the original things. I'm still probably not getting this until next year, though...

Nintendo Press Release said:
"Introducing ... Wii. As in "we." While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games ... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?"

"Wii sounds like 'we,' which emphasizes this console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii."

"Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd."

"So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because, it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything."

Wierd :-\ But I like it.

It's easier and cheaper to just emulate them.

I'll say this much, the original FFs were hard compared to the new stuff.
 
Does anyone know any other places that are gonna do wii (or ps3) pre-orders? Or what are some places that don't do pre-orders, that just sell what they get on launch date and it's first come first serve? I heard that walmart opens on Midnight saturday night to let people get the wii. Is that true? That would mean you dont need to stand in line early in the morning, just sometime in the afternoon.
 
Do we know if the Wii points are going to be prepaid like Itunes, or do we pay for them with Credit Cards?
 
Gamestop and EB games did a 20 or 30 min. special on their website for the Wii.

Thursday, Nov. 9th in the evening (CST) they were opening up their online stores for pre-orders of a special Wii Package. The package included:

Game Informer Pre-Paid Subscription Kit
GameStop.com Product Replacement Plan
Wii Remote Controller
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Red Steel
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz
Madden NFL 07
Wii Memory SD 1.0GB
Nintendo Wii

All for $694.98 + Tax and Shipping.

My wife sat at our computer from 8am until she finally got to order it at 4:30pm (PST). I'm really lucky. =D

From what it looks on the web-site, they MAY do another "pre-sell special offer", I don't know.

And as far as I know, the PS3 hasn't had ANY special pre-order stuff like this.

GO NINTENDO!!!

Wal-mart NEVER CLOSES, so yeah, I suppose they would be open mid-night to sell them. >__>
 
I got to play the Wii at the Nintendo Store. They had a variety of games. I got a chance to play Call of Duty and DBZ. They were okay. I wanted to play Zelday but the line for it was so long I didn't get a chance to play it. And then they took away Zelda the next day for some other event. Kind of suck since I didn't get a chance to play it. Wii sports was also good.
